  1. Actually I would like to see a lot more chips of the glass than they have been doing so far this season. Granted I am probably talking about a different kind of "chip of the glass" than the kind your are talking about here. None the less, I just wanted to mention it The 2011 team made a living off the little bank-shot passes through the neutral zone and into the zone. I would really like to see more of that this year.

    I think you're right--not the best choice of words. I'm talking about their repeated attempts to chip it up to a covered winger who is stationary along the boards.

    FARGO (this one may end the night early for ya:)

    KOBER

    ONE TIMER

    SANDELIN

    ONLY A FRESHMAN

    MISLEADING

    Bonus word = END ZONE , yes he dropped this last night. It's worth 3 drinks tonight

    Please be responsible...go sioux

    Last year the Sioux took ten or twenty one-timers a game. Someone must have told Hammer, cause they're not taking as many this year. Pretty unbelievable when your play-by-play guy doesn't know what a one-timer is.

  3. I was impressed with Duluth defensively. Blocked a ton of shots, and just played physical and gritty and didn't give UND much opportunity to get pucks to the net.

    Does UND stay with the hot hand in net or go back to Zane? Tough call.

    Stay with Saunders--see if he can put together two solid games.

  4. Take always from being at the Ralph last night...

    UND gets zero momentum with speed heading into the O zone. Terrible transition from D zone thru neutral zone.

    I know it's early, but I don't think this team can go deep into NCAAs playing a chip-it-off-the-glass breakout. They have too much quickness and not enough muscle for that scheme. I suppose Hak is just training them to take care of the puck and keep it on the perimeter and will open things up after they have learned those habits, but they will have to utilize the middle of the ice and make their passing decisions quicker to beat good teams.

  5. ~I liked the ticked off physical Rocco. Almost took a five. But nice to see him play with an edge and be noticed other than the score sheet.

    Grimaldi is a team player, so he will give it everything, but I think he is also aware that he has to show he can handle the physical game for the next level. Can't say P Kane hits much, but Rocco knows he has to prove he can't be pushed aside.

  6. He has and it has been said... There is no doubt Hak can recruit but our storied history and our barn with all that comes with it has a lot to do with that as well. You need to get the most out of your players no matter how talented. Here on SS there seems to be two types, the type that think Hak has issues and call for his head and then those that blindly follow and bring up the successes of the Hak era. My feeling is that we as fans have every right to question the coaches ability. Especially when a team this talented is under-performing as much as they are. It's a shame what's going on right now. Every team has it's ups and down but this team's main problems lie in lack of effort for huge portions of the game.

    You may be right, and it sure looks like this team is often a step late getting to the puck, but I think it's just as much about our guys always reacting to instead of dictating play, and that is not necessarily form lack of effort. They haven't found a style or scheme that fits them yet.
