The New York Sirens are desperate for a full 60-minute performance from their roster and head coach Greg Fargo. Greg has made several mistakes this season and hides behind his players and fantasy performances on the ice. His delusional takes have his team sitting in the same spot as last season despite major moves made by general manager Pascal Daoust this off-season and even his trade in-season with the Boston Fleet.
Greg has yet to get the most out of his newcomer and the rest of the lineup is not named Sarah Fillier, Alex Carpenter, or Jessie Eldridge. His goalies like Howie Draper are not the problem, the two coaches are basically the same person minus Greg being shorter and having broader shoulders. The tactics are that of a rookie coach in mites figuring the game out with his players as they develop and progress. His tactics are just glorified college day puck, and he is competing against Olympic and Professional talent.
If history repeats itself and it looks highly likely it will then Pascal will need to have a serious look inside and see why he can’t seem to find a pro coach for his team. Both College guys have been handed lessons from the opposing coach and players as if Christmas was a daily holiday.
The Fleet enter having already beaten the Sirens and Corinne Schroeder twice this season, 3-2 and 4-2, not exactly a good thing for Greg or his side who are without star player Alex Carpenter who hasn’t been seen in over 10 days and the team is staying mum on what her true status is.
Game
The Boston Fleet dominated and controlled the Sirens over the full sixty minutes of play. Schroeder did all she could to help her team stay in the game, but the lack of tactics by head coach Greg Fargo and the misuse of talent has put the Sirens in a spot to repeat history.
