Definition of insanity doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. Hakstol can't or won't change his dump and chase, how many times in the offense zone all three forwards against one wall or behind the net and guess what happens? The puck comes loose and st. Lawrence takes it the other way.

Hakstol doesn't seem to have a handle on this team, thought they maybe turned the corner last sat. But that was the exception and the Norm was tonight. Low shot totals, uninspired play , Schmaltz looked as disinterested as I have seen a Sioux player.

Been a long time since people are streaming for the exits with five to six minutes left. If one or two players are playing bad, it's the players when it's the whole team it's the systems or the coaching.the very worst power play I have seen from North Dakota thirty plus years.
-
We are fine, we always make a second half run. The first half is for practice.

North Dakota where talented players go to get worse. Hakstol is to stubborn to change anything.

It's nice we play dump and try to get the puck back.never seen a Sioux team that all the have is long stretch passes and hard off the glass or boards.

North Dakota where talented players go to get worse, coaching, coaching coaching.

going back to when Hakstol was hired we were told we wouldn't be able to tell the difference between teams, that was bull. I am not calling for Blais return but the return of letting the forwards get after it and skate not put the puck on the wall and cycle cycle cycle or get all three forwards below the red line and easy out for the opposing team.this team has no composure with the puck doesnt take the easy pass but hard off the wall or glass and they all do it so it must be coached.Last time I called out the predictability of Hak's team (RW 5x5 zone entries, etc.).
This time I'm calling out the complete lack of spontaneous play. Everything is shoveled back to the D, in every zone, where they settle it down, look around and allow the opponent to set up their trap or defense in front of the net.
How about a forward actually picking up a a puck and bringing it out of the zone before the opponent can set up their trap at neutral? I wish I had a dollar for every time I saw a UND center push the puck back to Simpson, et al, in the defensive zone tonight when they had a lane to carry it out themselves.
Offensively, how about a one-timer from the points in the offensive zone? Nope, slide it back and the defense holds it so the opponent can stack the goalie, both D, all three forwards, a couple water bottles, their mascot, and heck, even the team bus in front of the net to block a shot. I just once want to see a one-timer ... and our forwards ready to snap off a shot on a rebound.
Finally, I'm seeing guys in front turning to get to their forehands on rebounds. It's call a BACKHANDER and goalies don't like them. Both 9 and 29 had first period opportunities they wasted by not snapping off the backhanders and instead turning (wasting time) to the forehand (and allowing defenders to get there and prevent the shot).
This slow, ponderous play isn't generating offense, and it gave up a bunch of goals tonight to a team playing quick.

Maybe Hakstol doesn't know any other way to coach, cycle cycle cycle even if your smaller. Put all three of your forwards below the goal line and see what happens. Hakstol is a one trick pony and that is why he is so easy to beat in the big games, he will not adjust.

I agree roll three if you have to. Two scoring lines and one checking line( pattyn Rodwell Gaarder) spreading your talent out just makes the lines worse.
-
Good thing he spread the offense around, another stellar coaching effort. Did Hak just put names in a hat and make the lineup no rhyme or reason to his coaching. Maybe passing should be a skill they work on in squirt camp this week.
-
Hard off the wall or glass chase it down , don't even look for the easy break out pass or try the long home pass into traffic
-
So Hakstols plan is to fall behind early then spend the second half catching up in the pair wise and run out of gas before the end, seems like I have seen this before.
-
Hakstol, Berry and Jacksonwho here needs a lesson on the trap?
-
Hakstol has them playing great hockey right now. Maybe they can get a two for one buyout with muss. Very difficult game to sit through, is the power play a peewee or squirt plan.

Rydell GM , Honda Nissan and lunde Lincoln Kia is all in the valley
-
Look on the back of your ticket stub from hockey, football etc. GF Subaru Kia does a great job servicing vehicles and great to deal with on the sales side( daughter just purchased a Kia from them)
-
I would be very interested for sure, PM Sioux Tupa if you would.
-
Did you sell the print yet?
-
I would also be interested if Pivetz declinesI have a very nicely framed artist proof that I might be willing to part with.
-
Did I miss something on Crisfield, did he decommit or what?
-
I see Crisfield is no longer a recruit as per Heisenberg's web site, his or the coaching staff's choice
-
Maybe Hakstol is to stubborn to change, he likes having the cycle where all three fowards end up behind the goal line and using the umbrella powerplay what else could possible work? If things aren't working just keep doing it until it does or you run out of time.
-
Exactly puck pressure, fast pace and everybody skating hard and fast. Not giving up possession by just clearing it off the glass and resetting all the time.

I would never boo my team, but the section I was in had plenty of boo birds out.
