I've never seen another team that spends so much time on the power play passing it around the perimeter - looking, looking, pass, teeing it up, pass,oops (or shoot into someones legs). This play is not unique to this year. What gives? This seems to be our standard power play.

I'd feel a hell of a lot better about this season if we had gotten it done last year.

Actually, the head coach has total control over the program. He hires the assistants, approves the schemes run, oversees recruiting of all players, manages the game, and imparts an overall philosophy and attitude on the team. To say the coach does only one thing is totally incorrect. True, he can't suit up, but he controls who does. If a team doesn't have a division I quarterback, that's on the head coach, if players underperform - well the head coach brought them in, if the team can't get fired up - head coach again. Another way of saying this team is just a quarterback away (It would help, but there are other issues) is "our coaches didn't recruit anyone who could be an outstanding quarterback at this level. Like it or not it is all on Muss.

I predict this squad will set a new standard for hard work and determination

What are you smoking?

I can think of another way to prevent this from happening.

It's halftime of the Sioux Falls game - anyone still wonder why the students aren't fired up?

Note to Muss - this is how you come to play a superior team - anybody think Sioux Falls will take any knees?

We need to put up 50 on these guys to gain some self-respect back

When's the last time an NAIA school went to their stadium and gave them a beat down?

Strange - every game I have been at there are many empty seats around the band - as many as 4 or 5 rows Can anybody close to the athletic dept. check to see what is going on?

Got em Thanks

Mussman's lack of a set is legendary and is the one constant throughout this season I liked some of what I saw today However, in addition to never playing to win, the failure to recruit a D1 quarterback really has held this team back (no disrespect to Goska, who had a gutty performance)

I need 4 tickets - lower bowl- for October 28th - preferably together email me please fromthesea81@gmail.com thanks

This gives us a little insight into the brain trust that runs UND. They occupy a place that never intersects with the real world. They won't be happy until they suck the life out of everything fun. I seriously question Kelly's judgement.

At best - I think they are downright embarrasing

Just room to get in - the place is impossibly small

Especially after last weekend, I'm hoping our defense unleashes "60 minutes of pain" on the Maine forwards.

I agree that ultimately it is the players responsibility for how they played. I'm just frustrated that we can't ever seem to figure out BC. Every year it's the exact same game. However, referring to it as a close game other than when they scored a bunch sounds a little like "other than that, how did you like the play, Mtrs. Lincoln?"

How long do you figure it will take him? - I'm not trying to be cute - It's just that we're kind of stuck until that happens

Really? You're going with that? It was a close game except for those 4 quick goals we gave up?

I'm not seeing calls for Hak's head I am seeing people correctly point out that he doesn't seem to have the ability to get his teams ready for BC or other hockey east teams for that matter. He couldn't do it with Toews, Oshie, and Duncan, and he can't do it now. He's had how many years to figure this out. You know darn well that a job expectation of a Sioux hockey coach is to win some championships. When we get tagged like this at home by the team we usually need to beat to win one, people get frustrated. I didn't hear a peep from our big, mean veteran defense men this tournament. This game can't be viewed in isolation, but a continuation of something that is very frustrating. I know we have all season to get things figured out. Just give us a sign that we can. This weekend would be a place to start.

There are lots of reasons why people are letting getting beat in the second game of the season throw them Boston College is the living symbol of Hak not being able to get his teams over the hump. Every time we play them we think that maybe this is the time we've figured it out and it never is It's more about just getting beat - it's the total inability to look competitive Boston College is who we used to be under Blais - Hak has had some nice teams, however it has been a long time since the last title - when we play BC and look like this that reminds us of that fact In addition, they came into our house and took it to us They lost a lot last year too, but aren't making excuses about it Our veterans didn't look great - I thought defense was going to be our strong suit Why can't we figure out hockey east?

If they are "good" at the end of the year, the problem is that they have to play BC - can't we ever figure them out? Every time this happens I tell myself "Hak will make adjustments next time" - so far - nothing

Couldn't agree more - There is no way a team should own us - Hak has seen BC many times before - He needs to figure it out and soon - Time to get it done I see a lot of "we're young" posters - well BC lost a lot too. Time to regain status as the best team in the country. Come on Hak
