While I don't think that Kozek is quite "fourth line material" (he was our leading goal-scorer last year, and wasn't even on a regular PP unit), I agree that he doesn't appear to be the best fit with VV/Duncan.
I would like to see Gregoire or Trupp up there with Duncan & VV to see what they can do.
Obviously you didn't watch the Tech/UM game from earlier. They looked worse than the Sioux did.
I'm not guaranteeing that the Sioux will win tomorrow, but it might be a better game.
"This team is crap."
What is most likely to happen:
MSU scores another goal within the first 5min.
The Sioux score a goal with 6min remaining.
They then pull the goalie.
MSU scores an ENG.
Game over. 4-1 MSU win.
PROVE ME WRONG, SIOUX!!
I don't think he's really been tested tonight.
Most of the Sioux shots are from far out, and when they get in close they aren't getting connecting on passes.
Results from yesterday:
USA 8, Germany 2
Canada 8, Czech 1
Russia 4, Latvia 1
Sweden 3, Finland 1
Only two games today, not yet played:
Slovakia/Latvia
Germany/Kazakhstan
Already 4-0 UM over Tech.
Some dude with a hatty already.
Either UM is really good or Tech is really bad. I wouldn't know since we haven't played either school yet, but I would guess it is a combo of the two.
I really hope that the US doesn't lose to Czech Republic. They can't hit the net, can't control the puck along the boards, and constantly go for the home run pass which never connects and then just ends up as icing.
That said, Canada looks pretty good. Tavares is killing it out there so far.
I spoke too soon...from Brad's blog:
So we at least get the webcast against MSU.
Also noted that Mario L won't be at the GLI due to him having his appendix taken out earlier this week.
Key word in that sentence is LISTEN. Man, I wish we had some television coverage of the GLI (aside from the championship game).
Merry Xmas everybody.
Time for another Fighting Sioux GLI championship!!
Doesn't sound good for tv/webcast coverage for any game aside from the Championship. That blows.
We just have to hope that the Sioux beat MSU then if we want to see them!
Yep, same game.
Not to be confused with the game where he faked an injury, started limping to the bench, and then realized that no penalty was going to be called, so he joined the rush late and scored a goal.
