SIOUXELEVENS

No your wrong once they become Jrs. all their problems go away and they play perfect every game,Hakstols game plans only work with upper classman. If you can't motivate freshman and soph. how does that work with Jrs. and Srs.

Speaking of basics if you can't catch a pass you shouldn't be playing at this level. Maybe Haksol should go back to basic training,passing,catching said passes(this was very bad on sat.) hitting the net while shooting etc.

Another weekend at home and swept again I know I will be bashed for this but oh well. Hakstol and his staff are not getting it done,no offense,poor defense-penality killing and absolutly no fire from this team what so ever. The post game interview on the radio Hakstol said he didn't know(yes that is what he said) what was wrong, the team is looking for a few breaks. Shouldn't the team be making their own breaks sometimes? This team puts almost zero pressure on the other teams defense and has to spend lots of energy defending their own end. It's easy to blame the Goalie on the losses but the defense just doesn't clear out rebounds or bodys in front of their own net,makes it tough to play goalie on this team right now. This team has way too much talent to be in 8th place in the WCHA with two games in hand.Hakstol hasn't had the best record at home since he was GIVEN the job After Blais left. In two and 1/2 seasons can anyone honestly say Hakstol has out coached anyone,hmmmm.For all of you who think I am busted up from jumping off the bandwagon it wasn't that far after the wheels came off this weekend

Maybe Finley and Radke will be paired together again. Last year when they were together Big Joe had the best + - rating on the team

Lee Goren only played three years,lost one year on a major jr try out or something like that

Not every player has to score twenty goals or put up forty assists to be considered a success, on every team there are role models,muckers,grinders,checkers and of course scorers. NONE of us has any idea what Hak is asking of these players,hopefully he knows best and we go on the second half run that the Sioux did the past two year.

You know someone will demand a recount

Triouxper you should have started a poll

I know I already voted but I will throw Forney out as a dark horse

I'am going with Miller and Kozek

If you watched Lee Goren his freshman year he had like two goals and looked very out of place,Colby Genoway is another and looked how they turned out.

#1 Minnesota Time will tell if the Virg Foss is to much of a burden #2 St Cloud Didn't look all that great here,like the Badgers their goalie bails them out #3 UND Hak straightens the team out during X-Mas break and go 12-4 or 11-5 in the remaining league games #4 CC Zaba plays very well and their Offense keeps improving. #5 Wisconson Elliot nuff said #6 Denver Injuries keep knocking them down,not the same fire as the past seasons #7 AA very good at home,team concept,Lawson #8 Mich Tech Not quite over the hump #9 Mankato Tormeys(sp) injury not looking good for any Landcow wins #10 UMD someone figure this team out,could spell the end of Sandelins tenure

Whats so complicated the year is not over, they haven't even played half of their league games yet.

Alcohol kills lots of germs

Thanks Goon, I would sure like to see him back here next fall(Siouxmama could pass that on for me if you would)

One question with the offensive struggles the Sioux are having why not give others a chance to show what they can do. What would it hurt, it's not like we could score less. After a player leaves like this can he sign with another college team or is the LOI binding in this case?(I guess that was two )

What a bummer. The little we got to see him play I think he was/is going to be a good player. Hope to see you back here soon and good luck in the BCHL.

You realize we have only four more games in 2006 The boys can go along way towards squashing all the negativity this weekend. Crank it up boys and lets play Fighting Sioux hockey

Try something different, Yttrium has a point spread the wealth, three lines,find some linemates who click and away we go.

Sounds like a good formula,can we slip into their gatorade or pregame meals

Was it the house with the stone finish on the front? there are still three house left on that side of the street

Ok from all of the threads I can figure out that our Goaltending is weak,our defense is offensive and our offense isn't. Now how do we fix it?

After sitting through saturdays game the Sioux did play better just mental mistakes cost them the win. One thing I noticed(my own opinion) is that players aren't being used correctly. Having Genoway and Lee together they just got muscled around in front of their own net, both of those players are offensive minded and don't work well together. The dot line sure dominated ever time they were on the ice but no one seemed to take it to the net or look for the shot. Hakstol needs to shake thing up,try Walski in goal maybe,switch all the lines up see what happens. I sure don't know the answers but it seems like our coaching staff doesn't either. It's broken lets fix it.

Brad Eidsness was not there on sat. night,not sure who those guys were but Eidsness was sitting up buy the press box on friday.
