SIOUXELEVENS

With the way our defense played all year why would you sit on any lead. Berry is in charge of the defense and power play hmmmm. Good addition I think. The two areas we struggled this year, maybe fire Berry and keep Hakstol.

Maybe ths lineup will make everybody work and play harder because they is no superstar on the team.

If the team shows up and gets beat that is fine but to not compete for 2/3 of the game something is wrong. Yale carried the play the last two periods we didn't look like we we even close to them. We hit four posts and had one waved off and we still looked over matched most of the game. All the people who wanted Rocco on the first line can't be very happy either that line had no flow and couldn't get out of the D zone, that is why their weren't together, defensive liability, all o little d. But we gave Hakstol a pass sit behind he bench stern faced unwilling or unable to change. Hakstol's offseason change after last season how did that work out, the defense looked lost most of the time especially after we scored. The defense took a step back in my opinion, Matson was being compared to genoway and Forbort had made some Hugh strides, they both regressed under the new d savior. I know Hakstol isn't going anywhere but be smart enough to know this isn't working like it should.

Jekyll and Hyde, play great one game and pee down your leg the next. Yale had a plan and it worked, typical Hakstol stern faced and unable or unwilling to try to change. Yale broke out of the zone easily but we struggle with six drafted defenseman to even get it out of the zone. Putting it hard off the glass and giving up possession is not the way to put pressure on the other team only your own. I think someone said earlier that Hakstol would be a great CEO that sounds about right, puts a great team together but can't manage them in game situations. He is a great recruiter and judge of talent bleeds green through and through but something is missing in his game generalship.

Lots of talent but what does he get from it a playoff game. Time to find someone who can fire up the troops, the second and third were pathetic , getting out played by Yale. No changes in our game plan, same break out same results. Well at Least we were there.

Siouxman wish I could be there with you, yell at the pee yellow and brown for me.

Williams looked very average against Bucky yesterday

I agree on the gophers giving them a beat down, the gophers won't go 0-6 on the power play

If Brad Berry was brought in to improve the defense it is an epic fail. The defense has been lost all year. On cc third goal why does Mattson keep backing in on a one on one separate the player from the puck then you neutralize the threat no shot. The goalies may need to take a concentration course at UND because they both seem to have brain farts at times. This team has talent,they have the best facilities they need to use all of that.

That was a brutal hit sent him to altru.

I believe he is Skeeter Moores son so Duluth might have the upper hand on him but stranger thing have happened.

There were two recruits on the bench Friday, anybody know who they were.

I can see Hakstols point about passengers, who other then the top line put much pressure on? Need to be hard on the puck and keep taking it to the net all four lines

Isn't this a recruit forum? Don't believe the kid is a potential recruit.

When did the gophers play BU this year or are you talking about last year

I thought Mario did ok for giving up 40 lbs and 5 inches in height, the General has fought before he can hold his own. Alot of times those fights are more attitude then size anyway. I would bre ok with Animal going at it we have panzerella to take his place next game.

Parise/grimaldi get over your self, now Jason Blake/Brett Hextall maybe, check with Blake how thing went in the NHL you learn fast not to yap cause someone will shut it for you. Rau is a great player but needs to learn to respect other players or you see what happens.

He made the decision he thought was best for him not us. Would you really want him on the team if his heart isn't in it.

It sounds like everybody thinks something is wrong, locker room , poor defensive play and lines not set. Hmmm who is in charge. If you have a poor business plan and sales fall do you fire the guy in the mail room, nope. First you change middle management (Eades) well things got worse. Maybe they don't fire Hakstol but as he said last Friday that everyone has to look in the mirror that means him two. The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

Neber eber

nope nobody's hero not even saying I am right just my opinion, last time I checked it was ok on an open forum

Maybe the second half surges were more about Eades ?

Are these from the incidents where these players were suspended or are these new?
