SIOUXELEVENS

I don't think the poster wanted someone to kick his a$$ but give him the swift kick in the butt, i.e wake up call, way different that what your posting.

David Toews with 33 goals and 47 assists, 80 points in 38 games

Lines I would like to see against the Land Cows. Oshie-Duncan-Kozek VanVelde-Watkins-Kaip Trupp-Zajac-Frattin Forney-Davidson-Radke. One of my neighbors is a relative of one of the Mankato players and the word is the Landcows have some unpleasant suprises after the way the games went up here last year, should be fun for all the fans.

Indiana in the USHL

Hak can't recruit........................

The old mantra was a scorer(Duncan) and playmaker(Oshie) and a checker or crash guy(Kozek) I think that is why Trupp-Zajac-Frattin work well together.

Mike Cichy?

Go to you tube and punch in CJ Ludwig, great open ice hit. (he is # 17)

Ludwigs style reminds me of Curtis Murphy, same skating style for sure.

I enjoyed his blog also, couldn't even tell he was a rodent fan if I hadn't seen his posting on GPL.

Don't you think that some fans do it because it bugs Gopher fans? I think Ness or Lee would look great in green and white as i am sure you think Kristo or Mattson would look good with a M on their chest.

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.

Soohockey do you even watch the games? IT seem most people have a different view then yours

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.

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.

The TRIOUXPER is wise please, that's the biggest laugh I've had all day

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.

According to your blog it's sounds like you feel the same way I do.

No reason to be sorry just didn't know which direction you were going

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

Call me slow bit I am not quite sure where you going with this?

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.

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.

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)

Thank you its been along time coming.
