We are about to witness the easiest 20+ goal season of all time. Putting Jake Taylor on a team with Sowers and Kirst should be illegal. As if he didn’t have it easy enough to park on the crease for 6 years with Pat and Chris drawing every slide and dishing him the yolk, now he has two players who are even better and are going to get half of their assists feeding this guy on the crease. Speaking of feeding him on the crease I didn’t want to say it but that boy must’ve been eating good after his season ended early cause he’s reaching max capacity on this pinny they got him in. Nah but all jokes aside the Waterdogs on paper should be really good but we’ll just have to see how it shakes out.
Waterdogs Offense
These guys are gonna be so sneaky this season, actually it might not even be sneaky their midfield is so stacked and like yeah every team in the PLL is but these guys have a pretty gritty unit. Mikie Schlosser is hopefully gonna be fully back and not go anywhere. Jack Hannah is gross, Zach Currier is a freak, Thomas McOnvey can pepper it, I think if that group learns to play off of each other well they will be scary this year. Their attack group might get weird, Michael Boehm is probably gonna end up coming out of the box and they’re gonna have to figure out if Jake Taylor can come out of the box too that way Kirst, McArdle, and Sowers can all stay on the field all the time for obvious reasons. But that begs the question can Jake Taylor even run that much? (I’m sorry) (no I’m not) Also Ben Wayer could be a difference maker for this team in transition and he might light it up from the two point line. Another thing to note is Zed Williams wasn’t listed on the training camp roster and I haven’t seen anything with him in it at training camp so idk whats going on there.
Waterdogs Defense
I don’t know who is going to be starting in net this year but I am assuming it will be Dillon Ward. I don’t know the first thing about playing goalie but the one thing I’ll say about Ward is that the high crease that he plays has obviously worked for him in his career but I just feel like I’ll watch a replay of him getting sniped on and I can’t help but to think maybe if he wasn’t 20 feet outside of the crease me might have had a better chance of stopping it. Like I said Ben Wayer could be a difference maker on offense in transition, the same thing goes for defensively. I think seeing Wayer and Dylan Hess on the wings for faceoffs will be entertaining, although it will be interesting to see how Hess adjusts to playing a professional sport after boozing 7 days a week in the SEC and playing attack on the club team but I have faith he’ll be back like he never left. That’s pretty much all I got for the defense I mean they have a pretty solid core group down low and I think it’s clear that the most exciting part of this team is their offense. But yeah could definitely make a sneaky run for the championship but then again they could lose every game again.
