βItβs been so hard to watch them win 30 of the 33 games they played. It wouldβve been so much more enjoyable if I watched them hit free throws, threes, and lose more like most Zag teamsβ. π Itβs okay to admit theyβre differently one of the best Gonzaga teams up to now. #GoZags

β€οΈβπ₯ Twenty. Seven. Straight. If you truly know Spokane and βlittle Gonzagaβ, this is a historical, unique, movie like sports tale that any real basketball fan would appreciate. No football team, 6000 seats, less than 7500 students... Nearly a blue blood with a title win. #GoZagsπΆ

Shore up that defense (personnel and scheme), solidify the net, get the young guns that are in the pipeline to develop and jump up into the league, and this team will be contending before you know it. If they can make the playoffs for a second consecutive season Iβd consider that a success.
Well said, questionable player usage (including the shootout) and a lack of defense is killing this team along with softies in netβ¦ That kind of a loss starts at the top and Iβd love to see MSL take the initiative to fix it. #GoHabsGo
Spot on, that loss had as much to do with the horrendous defense as it did a lack of goaltending. In fact, Monty made plenty of key saves to keep them in it. Not to mention, stop skating the puck all the way into the goalie during the shootouts. The team needed to be better overall to win that game.
The combination of defense and goaltending, or lack of, is a real problem for this squad. Monty might give up some softies, but he also kept them in the game with a ridiculous amount of key saves, only for the defense and turnovers to kill them. Fix one, fix the other. #GoHabsGo
π Bad coaching, bad defense, bad goaltending, yet they get the much needed point... Iβll take it. #GoHabsGo
π₯ Beautiful shot by Demidov, stop skating the puck all the way into the crease and stuffing it into their pads. #GoHabsGo
π Just. The. Tip. #GoHabsGo
π― S-N-I-P-E. #GoHabsGo
Thatβs why itβs a double edged sword right now, the goalies can make plenty of elite or key saves as fans like to call them, but theyβre also hung out to dry far too often to stay confident, be a true contender, and/or keep the defense confidentβ¦ 35 and 75 would be solid (backups) with real defense.
π― Thatβs why I can more easily overlook Montyβs lack of quality play than some folks, heβs let in some softies and struggled this season, but heβs also made some phenomenal saves all the same. The lack of quality personnel and defensive schemes is as much of an issue as the goaltending to be blunt.
Couldnβt agree more. And Iβm open to all angles right now, because Iβm seeing problems with the personnel, scheme, and goaltending. Given how many big time saves Monty made tonight, I simply canβt solely blame a loss on him for the ugly ones... This is a total team issue that starts at the top.
π If you need any proof of what Iβm saying, go ahead and see goal number four. Horrible defense, by multiple players, leaving the goalie out to dry. But make the key safe, heβs already made countless key saves tonight. Improve the defense, then worry about the goalies, until thenβ¦ Oof. #GoHabsGo
