SIOUXELEVENS

Very nice Rick don't agree fine but you have no idea who I am any more then I know who you are. That's why this site sucks is if you don't agree insults come out and now I am the bastard? I dont expect everyone to agree and that's what made this country great but I guess only ricks, mafia man and goon can be right.

If we play physical and aggresive we will kill off those penalites, when we sit back and let them dictate thats when we get into trouble

So what does everyone suggest we do nothing and just be glad we get to watch some form of hockey? For real it hasn't been very good all year and if your all happy with that so be it. People in another thread were saying how good the 1997 team was, not a lot of stars but out worked the other teams and was sound defensively, sounds like Hak should show them some film. If you dont work hard you sit.

Well you boys better be careful, back up from the ledge etc. with comments like these your not true fans dare question the mighty Oz, nevermind the man behind the curtain. Hakstol made the coaching change, doesnt work, Hakstol sets the lineup cant find one, Hakstol is in charge of making sure we are ready to play, not happening. Who should we blame? eight shots after 52 minutes is not going to cut it.

No problem it's just so hard to be a fan when they seem to have talent but won't work for it, I was telling my Brother in-law that Hakstol should pull a Herbie and have the boys keep the gear on after the game and skate lines.

if my post bothers him maybe he is in the wrong position. I doubt his skin is as thin as some of the posters here.

I don't believe I insulted you so why the personal attack, I guess you can only have an opinion if it agrees with yours.

Not sure, like I said in my post Hakstol is a great recruiter and judge of talent but not a great head coach.

The defense has been awful all year, who made that change, the head coach did. So it's more than one game it's been all season.

Don't care if you acknowledge it or not. Maybe your happy with this team and how they play, I am not. ( it's a perfect comparison to Gino's years same results)

If tonight wasn't the last straw boy I don't know what will. One of Hakstol's trade mark is flat teams when something is on the line( see all the ff he has coached in, NH and Yale etc). I believe Hakstol is a great recruiter and asst. coach but he sure doesn't fire up the players for games. It goes back to the day he took over that we wouldn't even notice the difference in coaching styles well most of us have noticed. He relieved Eades of his duties because he wanted to improve the D well thar sure hasn't worked, we are way worse defensively then last year. I know Goon or Mafia Man will criticize this post but oh well I have had season tickets since 84 and tonight was a game that caused Gino to be replaced. Maybe Hakstol is two nice to the young men and need to be more of a disciplinarian and not their friend but the coach. We all pay good money for our tickets and should expect a better product then what we had tonight. All the talent that has come through ND and no titles for Hakstol, maybe time to move on.

That's still ten non-conference games each year

How many games allowed in the reg season? 32?

Not sure what is up with Clarke but he doesn't look the same since the break

When will the d catch up? It seems like our players have regressed in that area since last year. We have given up way to many quality chances this year.

my only issue with Rocco on the first line is are all our eggs in one basket. If they do put Rocco with Kristo speed with be in abundance for sure. In another thread someone said they wouldn't sit Schmaltz because he might be a flight risk, I say play the rights players no matter what. I just like what St. Clair-Rocco-Caggiula do when they are together.

Lines I would like for next weekend Kristo-Knight-little Mac Grimaldi-St.Clair-Caggiula Parks-Rowney-big Mac Rodwell-General-Gaarder Macwilliam-Matson Simpson-Panzarella Forbort-Gleason

I think the D sometimes try's to do too much ands ends up eating it on the wall and getting a face off vs taking the easy play and getting it out out of the zone(see Gleason vs BU) hard off the glass and out is better than a d zone face off. Next game Schmaltz and Matson ride the pine and go with five d or try Jim back there. The Sioux have never been good at prevent defense, keep the pressure on in the O zone, best defense is a good offense.

Why do you think dean would come back? We need to change something

Pathetic performance, also waiting for Berrys vaunted defense we played better d last year. Why is pattyn centering the third line not much offense from him. Hakstol keeps peeing down his own leg, for crips sake don't just scowl make some adjustments. Saunders didn't look like a d1 goalie tonight very very weak

Not an expert but it seems that if you want to beat the Gophers you need to survive the first period and take it from there, against BC and ND they came out on fire got a lead and never looked back.

I think Mariucci's post was dripping with sarcasm

Kristo from Forbort and Knight

Her family owns the McDonalds franchises in GF and EGF maybe why she doesn't acknowledge that.

I saw Parks Sat. night had a boot on his foot with crutches, he did not have the boot on the week before
