Film Studies: Army vs. Virginia
iLax presents 14 minutes of fall bizzer scrimmage action.
A new film of an old scrimmage. Watching UVA at field level might be a major yikes experience. Army has my favorite goalie in the country.
Editor’s note: At this point in my career, my eyes and stomach are immune to a shaky camera and rapid zooms. Fair warning.
Opening song on the soundtrack is K. Cuderson “Up Up and Away” which is a fantastic start by iLax.
UVA really needs to fall out of love with orange.
0:22 Welcome to the video Army d middie with your head down, goodness does UVA have swarm ability
nothing’s happening
nothing’s happening
2:02 draw a slide, rotate the defense, bang
2:48 mean ride
3:41 silky ball movement to a meat head dodging effort leads to a shot from maybe 8 yards out
4:07 Army’s clear, bringing a short stick down as a possible option but then moving him through
4:28 need Army’s clear immediately
5:20 steady Army possession after playing a lot of defense
5:29 invariably the Knights turn the ball over seconds later
6:16 oh no, don’t give up the middle of the field d middie! UVA scores on a feed to the crease
7:45 excellent take away and ground ball play by Jarrid Puzes #16
8:20 UVA tries to sneak one back to the crease but the defense collapses
8:30 UVA’s ride strikes again
8:50 Pat Haberson roasts the defender but is stuffed by the goalie, he’ll need to do better if he expects to contribute for my fantasy team
9:20 I love Army’s clearing game, should have finished that fast break that formed out of no where
10:00 scrimmage dunzo
iLarosse has two other sections of the game here and here.
Definitely calling Army up and asking for their clearing packages.

I don’t know what to say about these really, but I know that I want them. I wouldn’t ever wear them but I would look at them every morning and be reminded of the joys of life, Jordan shoes, and the color blue.
More photos here. No way we were going to get through the day looking at more than one at a time.
Explosiveness + basketball shoes=
Notes
Don’t be embarrassed to use this girls chick lax drill in your next practice
The NHL All star game has gotten out of control
I love my Steelers football, but an NFL work stoppage would do amazing things for the growth of hockey. So what? Who cares?
