  1. It's really to bad if a couple of bad apples drove him away, I didn't always agree with him but I respected his view enough to not argue about it. People have to remember this is a message board and just because someone doesn't agree with your opinion doesn't mean your view is wrong just different.
  2. Soohockey do you even watch the games? IT seem most people have a different view then yours
  3. I guess when Oshie was hurt last year early and Toews was gone to the Jrs. Duncan must have not scored. Look back at last year before X-mas Duncan carried that team of his back.
  4. The TRIOUXPER is on a world tour, trying to get banned from every hockey sight before he's done . The reports of his death have been greatly exaggerated.
  5. The TRIOUXPER is wise please, that's the biggest laugh I've had all day
  6. No passengers as Blais used to say. Play hard or sit, pretty simple formula. Soohockey, JPL faced two odd man rushes on the last two goals. The first one was weak but if Chorney staples his guy against the back wall no goal.
  7. According to your blog it's sounds like you feel the same way I do.
  8. No reason to be sorry just didn't know which direction you were going
  9. That's one area in which I lack, patience is in short supply. Some days it seems like they have turned the corner and then saturday shows it's ugly head. Win lose or draw still a fan, I just need to vent
  10. Call me slow bit I am not quite sure where you going with this?
  11. I have posted this many times before that when Hakstol gave his speach during his press conference anouncing him as the new head coach that most fans wouldn't be able to tell the difference between his and Blais teams, There is a world of difference. Blais had the ability to fire up his guys and get the message through if you don't play hard you sit. What message does Hakstol send by sitting there stone faced and never changing if he is up by 2 or 3 or losing by 5(not sure how his locker room style is though). The coaching staff is responsible for getting these players ready and fired up to play not coming out flat and just going through the motions. What will happen if the Sioux don't go on one of their late season runs and the bus doesn't start to Denver or even St. Paul,hmmm. I posted in the Positive thread how are stars aren't, .9 point per game for Oshie and Duncan don't seem like star quality to me and Chorney seems to have forgotten the style that got him drafted, play defense let the forwards score. The defense last year was stellar for the second half and all we lost was Lee and this year we look like a Chinese fire drill in our own zone most nights. I blame Hakstol because it's his team win or lose. In MHO he should be changing more things, Powerplay, lines and defensive pairings. Being a Sioux season ticket holder for over 20 years and will continue to do so as long as I live here its very frustrating to watch go through the motions and here the post games comments, it is what is, didn't get any breaks and no bounces going our way, sometimes you have to make you own bounces. I don't expect the Sioux to win every game but just compete and show some fire. 24 games and counting that they have been behind going into the third and haven't come back to win, that is attitude more than anything else, not long ago no lead was safe especially in our barn, now if you have a lead going into the third its lights out. Come on Sioux you have the talent but as your coach says talent is worthless is you don't work hard. Go Sioux.
  12. Radke and Martens did a great job backchecking Oustland on the winning goal didn't they, oh wait they were trailing the play and gave up the odd man rush when the game was tied. The first goal was on Phil the rest bad D.
  13. The TRIOUXPER is serving a well earned sentence in purgatory, Hey Triouxp you still can post on Gopher Puck LIve though.(it won't take nearly as longed to be suspended)
  14. Thank you its been along time coming.
  15. Bull$hit or not people should be able to come on a message board and state their opinion right or wrong without people talking down to them or questioning said manhood, Very easy to be tough behind a keyboard.
  16. Hey PCM there is a recap on USCHO but not here. Don't you like us anymore? Or just trying to avoid the BS.
  17. But when Hakstol became head coach he said we wouldn't be able to tell the difference between his and Blais teams. Deans teams had fire and played with tons of desire or they sat. Lots of times Dean went with three lines because of what he called passengers. Come on Hakstol we all know you can recruit like crazy now you need to bring the guys together and play hard and with a chip on their shoulder, no more mister nice guy play hard or ride the pine.
  18. I will not be going anywhere. I am a Sioux fan till the end, it's just frustrating to see them pee down their legs every sat. night. I sat through the end of the Gino era and it was much worse then this.
  19. I don't see much to be positive about, The defense is supposed to be our strong suit since we return everyone except for Lee and he was the weakest according to most people. I have never seen a Sioux team give up so many odd man rushes and for a veteran team it looks like a chinese fire drill in the d zone most nights. This team is so jekyll and hyde it's hard to put a finger on it, but our big guns don't play like they have the talent to. Oshie should be in the top 5 in scoring with all his talent and Duncan shouldn't be far behind.(top five in the country). Players of their caliber should be 1.5 points per game or higher with all the ice time and powerplay time. The past years I have blamed Hakstol but if the players don't want to play at the level required what can Hakstol do? The pre-season hype about the four coming back for unfinished business sounds like bull now the way they have been playing, Chorney should be playing at an All American level instead of a Freshman level. JPL is the only one playing above last years level, Oshie,Chorney,Finley and Duncan have lost something somewhere. The rest of the team seemed to have forgot to forecheck,backcheck and pass the puck. Poor defense,up and down offense and no urgency when there down doesn't give me much hope for the rest of the year, this is a little above a .500 team. During te Blais era the motto was keep the opposing teams below twenty shots per game and no lead was safe, now if the Sioux our down going into the third it's all she wrote, this team doesn't have the moxy to come back.Rip away but this team needs a very big kick in the arse and far as I am concerned
  20. Post #1 Lines for next year. Duncan-Oshie-Malone(Oshie and Malone do the dirty work and Hobey finishes) Frattin-Trupp-Forney (lots of talent hope they produce) Watkins-VanVelde-Kozek (Walkins and VV meshed well hope Kozek does as well) Davidson-Kaip-Zajac (checking line who can cycle like crazy) Defensive pairings. Chorney-LaPoint Jones-Genoway Bina-Finley(you just got to keep the odd couple together) -------------------- I will still run with these,from July 12 #11 HIGHEST SCORING JERSEY # IN FIGHTING SIOUX HOCKEY HISTORYThanks Robert Duncan,Brad Becker, Mark Taylor,Gord Sherven,Malcom Parks,Dixon Ward,Teeder I will still run with these.
  21. I don't think the Sioux have a winning record in that building,and sweeping them at home(the Gophers) has been very rare.
  22. Come on boys it's time to end the Mariucci west moniker the Gopher fans like to use.It's time to use home ice to our advantage.
  23. Micheal Lee to St. Cloud as per Western college hockey blog.
  24. I don't believe there are any easy or gimmee games in the WCHA. The Sioux just need to put two games together.
  25. Those aren't pads,that's all natural
