Maybe Hakstol has to do some soul searching on how he does things, maybe free up the forwards and pull back on the D some, trying doing something other then cycle the puck and grind it out on the walls, use the talent you recruit don't just use the system no matter what. I would love to see Hak win one but honestly with all the teams he has had I don't think it's going to happen. He hashad high end fowards, grinders, hard workers, awesome goalies but the results are all the same.

So are we know as the green chokers now, new logo.

Time to move on Hakstol, has lost in almost every way in the biggest game of the year. Players change every year but what is the common demoninator, hmmmmm They even changed one coach same results. The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. Time to try something or somebody different.

We are supposed to have more talent then St.cloud so why is their power play better than ours?

roll these lines and remember Hak you can change things on the fly, cut down to three lines if we have any passengers. The players need to remember that there are no ships to go back to.

The stanchions on the glass were awful, someone should invest in seamless glass, St. Clouds second goal was a direct result of a bad bounce off one. The Sioux player was trying to dump it in and it took a target center bounce and it goes the other way for a two on one goal. Overall experience wasn't very good downtown St. Paul /xcel is in a class by itself. Target center had poor concessions, poor entrance policies on Friday anyway and downright lousy atmosphe

Murphy at least was giving a effort, which is better then some highly touted players we have. When will our coaching staff figure out that the dump snd chase especially on the PP just gives up possession. Come Hak time to change things up.

Pathetic is the only word that comes to mind, outplayed, out hustled and out shot two games in arow, where are the A players taking the weekend off? Which is worse a piss poor team all season or a great regular season then mailing it in for the playoffs.

20 shots given up in the period, WTF that used to be a game. This keeps up it could get ugly for us.

I would take a whole blue line of Stechers that leave it all on the ice vs a first rounder that only gives it when he wants too. Maybe they was a reason he was cut from the world jr team, not lack of talent but how he applies it

Knee jerk? How have Parks and Cagguila done lately? Maybe they have no talent and McMillan was the only reason they even had any stats. Maybe the Sioux only had 20 shots on net because of 16 missing. When Cagguila was with Johnson and Chzyk that line performed why break it up? If it's not working then try something different, that's goes for during then game. With all the time outs we could roll three lines. But as a lifelong fan I probably have no right to say this team should be better then what they were yesterday.

1980 NCAA champion lost Taylor before the final game( before Hobey baker that he would have won) and that team didn't miss a beat. Other then a goalie all these pieces are or should be interchangable. Hak needs to find the right combos and if he has any passengers then make them sit and let people play who will give it all, cough cough # 24.

New lines for sat. Game, what could possibly happen. 29-9-27 14-13-21 15-8-28 22-10-11 Poolman goes to D and Jordan S takes seat in the press box, you don't give your all you sit.

Change up the lines, Parks and Cagullua have been silent . 27-29-9. Put Poolman back and Jordan sits s game.

The ice will be poor next weekend also, built in excuse? The ice is the same for both teams . Hak is the regular season King not so much in the second season

What are these in game adjustments you speak of? hak just rolls em his mantra

Maybe someone other then the school for the blind should make the lines, pathetic zero pressure for most of the game

My daughter and I will be there

Not much chemistry between Parks, Caguilla or poolman. I think the staff could have done a better job off putting lines together. They sure could have left two as is and fill in the others.

lines I would like to see 15-16-9 27-8-29 13-21-14 28-11-17

Maybe we need to try a different power play, the umbrella is being easily defended lately, try a half wall or down low draw the defenders in then push it back up top, just saying.

Class, pure class.

I have always thought O'Donnell should have been with the general and Gaarder, great grind line. Love the freshman line
