SIOUXELEVENS

Whats really depressing is St. Cloud would take our spot in the regionals according to the brackets on USCHO

How did he know your real name is Francis

Maybe we should all lower our expections for the Sioux team,try not to finish last and get home ice for the playoff every other year. Maybe then we won't be disappointed

I rember Zach being booed the first time he played at the hooch.

Whatever thats my opinion and I'am sticking to it.Blais wasn't a perfect coach my any means(messing with goalies) but his team always played hard and alway forechecked and put lots of pressure on the other team,as for 01-02 if they would have had a goaltender who could have stopped a beach ball it would have been a lot better year.

I agree it's a long way from over but they need to change something or the results we be the same. When Blais was at the helm they were fun to watch,always applying pressue and getting on the opposing team win or lose.As for last years frozen four was it coaching or the big class of seniors finally waking up.

Bad weekend what an understatement.How many cliches are we going to use this week,can't control the other teams goalie,no puck luck or the one we have used all year there just too young.it used to be when the Sioux were down even by two goals that lead wasn't safe,now if they get the first goal its almost over at that point.Friday night with a six on four we eat it along the boards with our faces on the glass and trying to cycle the puck,geez there has to be a open man there somewhere I would think.Maybe Hakstols systems are to easy to defend maybe to structured not enough room for offensive creativity.maybe they should try putting someone,anyone in front of the net where you can score instead of all three below the red line all the time.I know that I will be torched for this post like my last one but until something changes its frustrating to watch a team with lots of talent keep peeing down there own leg. The systems I blame on Hakstol and lack is of intensity falls on his shoulders also. Maybe Hakstol should change Assit. coaches or systems.I remember during Hakstols press conference how we wouldn't even notice the change from his team and Blais's well I for one can tell the difference

No doubt but with his Dad and Uncle being alums we should have had the inside track

I have a nephew that plays on the the Moorehead team with Jordy and he was as suprised as anyone.All he could say was look at the rink you have to play in LMAO Whats up with taking the first offer my Parise he's only a Jr. whats the hurry look around and wait maybe he can play for a contender not a pretender.

Welcome to the best hockey forum out there

Just trying to do my part don't you know

I don't,if the Triouxper said the sky was blue I would have doubts.He is a low down yellow belly good for nothing dirtbag And thats all I got to say about that.

Seems like the Viking Cup has been good for VanVelde,last night he had two assists against Sioux City in a 7-1 Lincoln win. VanVelde is now 12-9-21 in 33 games

I agree as long as people bring something to the table other then gloating I'am all for it,post on Slap Shot and just put The Triouxper on ignore.

I want them back to there winning ways whatever it takes,if this Staff can make it happen lets do it or move on and far as I am concerned. Hakstol was a excellent assistant and recruiter but maybe in over his head as far as a head coach,lack of respect,not able to motivate etc. Anyway we all have different opinions so lets agree to disagree.

Was it coaching or was it the Seniors finally taking it on there shoulders and playing with fire(hmmm maybe this years team should try that) It seems like every team has Hakstols forecheck or lack of one figured out and maybe the Coaching Staff should try something different, like changing the powerplay when they are pressing the points,Bemidji did this very well in there own barn and the Gophers our feasting on this.Redwing whose job is it to make sure the team is ready to go,play with discipline change things when it isn't working,hmmmmmm.Sitting through Ginos years we could still score but we would lose 6-5 and Blais's teams always played hard even 01-02 which was his worse year it was goaltending that let them down not lack of effort.

Redwing if you think I'am a Gopher fan you can stick it in you Arse Amen Sicatoka amen,popping pedcid like lifesavers last night

TC Transport we never leave early when were winning and we only get on our team on message boards to vent not at the Ralph

NorthDakotaHockey I won't be selling my seats no matter how bad it gets,it was a mad outburst and I will not lie down and take it easy when a team that I cheer for and have been to almost every home game since 83-84 and lots of away games goes out and plays like they have for most of the year,barely splitting with Denver,swept by Wisconson,will be swept by the Gophers,splitting with AA and Harvard and barely sweeping Bemidji.I was at Bemidji and they barely held on to win there.

I have never seen a game where the Sioux were so outclassed,outworked and very out coached.We have had Hakstol for a year and a half and when can you say he outcoached anyone.Last year if it wasn't for the senior class finally waking up it would have been a dismal year also. There doesn't seem to be any fire or desire from this team at all and i think it starts at the top with Hakstols blank stares from the bench wtf. When have you seen a Sioux team get outshot by almost every team,home and away.A very dismal home record no forecheck pressure, no breakout from there own zone and nobody can pass or catch a pass,maybe they need to go back to the basics! I think Hakstols reign should be short and lets get back to Sioux hockey. when sitting through the last of Ginos year its like deju vu all over again.when Blais was here it was the "teams" goal to hold every team under 20 shots per game not per period and if you were a forward and your assignment got an uncontested shot off from the point you sat the next shift,you caught on or you sat period.the lack of fire and discipline is very disturbing and it points to the coaching staff,at least we lead the league in one area,checking from behind and considering what happened to Bina that doesn't make much sense. Looks like we can all sell our regional tickets to a CC fan or worse the Gopher fans.Hopefully this year goes by fast and we have a change at the top(the whole crew) and we can get back to Fighting Sioux hockey not the high school product we have now

Sioux Hab-it if you rewatch that part you can see the defenseman saying nice move try something else

Maybe they could change it to Green Rodent Killers

Sorry I get those peach bands mixed up all the time

There is only so much room especially when you have such a large Freshman class and you can't get everyone.I'am sure there are lots of teams who would like to be in our sitiation with the players we have.

Well damned if you do and take The Triouxper with a grain of salt
