Ring leaves Rhinos

He may end up with the Charlotte Eagles, who are desperate for a goalkeeper. A rumor was going around they were getting a keeper from the "Chicago FIRE Reserves", but maybe they are getting "Chicago FIRE" reserve keeper Henry Ring.

I can't believe he expected to get into a match right with only one training session with his team under his belt.

If that's the way he felt he should have made it clear to the Rhinos before hand.

I think Coach Ercoli did the right thing, but if he was bitter about it he should have considered playing him against Toronto. They're horrible this year.

Although, not quite as bad as Charlotte.

 

While there is some logic to what you are saying, the sole reason Henry went to the Rhinos was to get some playing time. He can sit on the bench for two games here. If he were a field player I would completely agree with you, but keepers are different. There isn't a major reason that a keeper can't just step on with any team and do quite well. I would venture to guess that it was made clear that he intended to play and that's why he decided to leave. It's unfortunate because it would have been a win, win situation for everybody.

 

I think the opposite is true. Keepers need to get comfortable with their defenders or else you'll be having miscommunications all over the place resulting in corners, misplayed back passes, etc. and that usually leads to ugly goals being conceded.

Trust me, we've seen some ugly play between new 'keepers and our backline during training camp since Vallow and Onstad got picked up by SJ and Colorado.

Andracki's been the best of the bunch because he's been the only one that knows his defenders.

I just think one training session and two games is too quick to pull the plug. If he would have given it another couple of weeks he would have seen game action. Especially with the Rhinos having a back to back home and home USOC qualifier this weekend with Syracuse.

With a strong week of training Ring would almost certainly have seen game action this week.

 

I'm just throwing this out there. Zach is listed as probable with his sprained pinky and ring finger on his left hand. Could Henry see action against Colorado?

 

I'm pretty sure Zach will be fine to go.... up to Sarachan if he wants to give Ring a start,but after the bad performace last week, I'm sure he wants the best out there, even if it is against the Rapids.

 

Agreed.
