    Our Power Play

    in Men's Hockey

    Posted

    I agree with everyone saying that the PP needs to move the puck both FASTER and with more ACURICY,

    the best example of this was in the 2005 Frozen Four Semi Final against the Gophers in the first 30 seconds of the first period, not only was the puck movement incredibly fast, but it was accurate and everybody was moving around, although they didnt score on the powerplay they had many good quality chances and maintained possesion for the whole power play, the gophers did not know what to do and they looked like a bunch of chickens with their heads cut off, that PP was very good and i wish this team could execute the PP like the 04/05 team could, but it is unlikely as this team is lacking the skill of that team (stafford, zajac, sparky, smaby etc).

    If we ask nicely maybe somebody with this game on DVD will be able to upload it to youtube so you can all see what i mean. :lol:

    I agree with most of your points except (partially) with this one. Eidsness, I believe, made more than just a one time slip up. But it was a HUGE mistake that, in my opinion, totally caused a bad chain reaction for the Sioux. And the second goal on Eidsness against Duluth was also a BAD goal on Eidsness. He should have been in MUCH better position for it. I just hope that last weekend was a one time 'weekend' fluke and not foreshadowing of his age and inexperience in these situations coming through. I give him all the credit for the season, but the Sioux's defense and PP REALLY have to step it up a notch.

    Also Hexstal needs to SERIOUSLY settle down and Finley needs to pick up his game at defense.

    I didnt see either of the Eidsness slip ups but by the sounds of it, the goal he gave away was a BIG mistake, but what caused this was a little loss of focus to not check over his shoulder for a forechecker, i guess he assumed on the PP there wouldnt be an aggressive forechecker coming, but he still needs to be 100% focused and ready to play from here on.

    Hextall does need to be careful this weekend, the refs will be out there to call every little thing and Hexy can not make any dumb descisions or the Sioux could really pay for it.

    I agree, joe needs to pick up his Defensive game, i often find he never knows when to play the puck and not the body, he always choses to play the body and either gets beat to the puck by a small fast player or gets a penalty i think he needs to work on this, but overall he has been a big part of this defensive group and has played well we just need him to play GREAT this weekend as defense will be extremely important in this regional.

    SIOUX vs UNH WILDCATS

    OK, I am very excited about this weekend, the Sioux are coming off an absolutely shocking run in the Final 5 but i think they got their bad weekend out of the way and are ready to play the way we know they can, I have a few points,

    Firstly, this is one and done playoff hockey, even the most favourite of teams can be knocked out of the tournament by the most unlikely teams (eg. HOLY CROSS :lol: ) So i expect to see a lot of upsets as i do every year

    Secondly, We are a number 2 seed and the "home" team against UNH so we can always match up Van Riemsdyk's line with our best defensive line using the last change, this is great for us as said many times before JVR is the majority of UNH's offense if we can shut him down we will have a great chance to take down this UNH team

    Third, we do need to work on the special teams, the PP is needing a lot of work and with a good PP unit this team could acomplish a lot they just need to fix this FAST, the PK is hurting a little without LaPoint but it is still quite solid we just need to be careful not to take any dumb penalties, with HE refs there will be a lot of calls made so our big D men need to be careful.

    Four, Eidsness has become such a reliable goalie for UND, the players have a lot of faith in him and this gives them the confidense to force shots on him from out wide, Sure he may have slipped up once at the Final 5 but it was just a lillte focus slip up, so at least he slipped up then and knows to be focused on even the most innocent plays and he will be ready for the regoinal, he will be solid in net this weekend just as he has been all year.

    5, We do need lady luck to work in favour of the Sioux this weekend, i didnt see any of the final 5 but i did hear that there were a lot of unlucky bounces for UND so lets hope that the bad bouncs are all out of the way and now the good bounces will arrive for UND, as the saying goes you have to be "good to be lucky and lucky to be good" so lets hope that UND can earn some of those lucky bounces this weekend

    Finally, with the MacNaughton cup UND was expected to do well at the final 5, and that didnt happen, now this team is back to being the under dog and is facing adversity straight in the face, and i think this Sioux team thrives off that, i believe the determination we saw earlier this year is back, they know they are not expected to make it to Washington, they are not in front of a home crowd and they have nothing to lose, i think this will be the driving force for this Sioux team

    Lets hope all these things go our way this weekend and the Sioux can hopefully punch their ticket to Washington D.C.

    The SK8 for 8 is back on and i cant wait for it to get started.

    GO SIOUX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I hope that UND scores more goals than Duluth by the end of the game. But, if that other stuff happens, that would be cool.

    You know what i mean... :silly:

    But seriously, i just hope they can start to play hockey, it sounds like they are watching the dogs as they skate circles around them...

    Well, i have no idea what is going on, i cant see the game, but at least we can say it is still early and lets hope that once the Sioux settle into the game they will start playing well and can produce some quality chances and shut down the dogs.

    I'm going to let everyone on SS decide for me if I should go to the game tonight. Here's my situation: I am in the Cities right now after just getting back from vacation. I have a final to take tomorrow morning so I'm thinking I should go home and study for that. However, I would LOVE to go to the Sioux game tonight. So what should I do?! (I feel like I know the answer already lol)

    P.S. sorry if i offend u, i am a little drunk....

    anyway, time for me to go to bed ill be back for the game later folks and until then i will dream of a Sioux win later today, GO SIOUX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    they can make the tourney either way if they get some breaks, they actually may be better off losing tonight than winning then losing 2 but both ways its gona be close for them. if hes sick and cant perform why wouldnt you make the change?? its a no brainer imo

    I thought Kangas is better sick than Patterson is healthy .... but i have no real source for this :glare:

    Gophers change goalies. Kangas hasn't recovered from the flu yet and can't make it. Patterson is in for the duration.

    What are they going to achieve by doing this... Losing the game and their season is over, but Kangas will be nice and healthy for Golf Next week :glare:
