SIOUXELEVENS

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

Born and raised in GF, live in Riverside park area north Grand Forks.

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.

No didn't get the chance. He doesn't have super stellar #'s but I also don't know much about that AJHL. Maybe Sioux Hab-It could help us on that?

He sat right up by us with Mertens. It appears to be a goalie recruit Brad Eidsness from the Oktoks Oilers. Maybe the fans aren't the only ones worried about the goaltending.

That's the worst part is that we beat ourselves with bad penalities or weak goaltending

Boy where do I start, scorers aren't scoring,our defense isn't and our Jr. goalie doesn't look very focused or into the game ala Andy Kollar when he became the starter. How does the high powered offense go from 18 shots one period to 4 shots the next? It took almost 8 minutes to get a shot on goal in the second period. This team never seems to play with much emotion or fire,maybe that comes from the coaching staff they never seem to fire up much either. With less then two minutes left in a one goal game you put out Kaip-Fabian-Zajac, they have fours goals between them and Zajac has all four .The Sioux would seem to have more fire power then that but the staff doesn't seem to use some players properly. Rylan Kaip was a very good penality killer last year and he is hardly used in that role this year(penality killing is almost last in the league this year hmmmm.) This years team has been caught on very poor line changes,weak goals,the second goal last night,odd man rushes and no intensity. If somethings not working fix it, change things up. On another thread someone said this team has poor practice habits, come on Hak thats your area to cover. I'am not calling for anyones head like I have in previous years but dam these guys need to step it up or we will be in the outside looking in for home ice and a NCAA bid. Maybe Berry did things different than Jackson but you still have the same players they just need to find the right combos. Maybe go back to last years combos and see what happens, Lee-Chorney, Radke-Finley and Bina-Jones on Defense and there are lots of options for the foward lines. As far as the Goaltending Phil doesn't look very into the game at times(last nights second goal) maybe Hak needs to sit Phil for a game and let Walski back up Greico who knows. Phils last two years he seemed more athletic and more into the games, we know he has the talent he needs to put the mental edge into it. Rant is over lets start tonight and Go Sioux.

Testify THETRIOUXPER, of course the rset of us know nothing about hockey either. That includes Blais,Hakstol,Eades,Berry and Jackson etc.

Lives to bitch06 probably has never seen a good hockey player is his life,bitter you got cut from peewees there little guy. If your really nice maybe the Sioux players will sign you crying towel. Commadore and Greene will have long careers in the NHL and you will still be the bitter little weasel complaining on message boards that they stink,have no talent etc. Lives to Bitch don't go away mad just go away This post can go for Lopsided too.

Greyeagle nice to see you still lurk around here

Cue THETRIOUXPER

Granted all teams do it but most fans don't admit it. Kisios run on briggs was bush league and should have been five and a game imho.

OK now who's wearing the halo

It's about fifty-fifty

TheTriouxper your time off has smoked your brain

They came in on Friday,picked mine up before the UND-USA game.

Maybe Lives To Scorn could try a different approach than throwing players under the bus,present and former. Nobodys perfect, if you don't like something don't be afraid to express it just don't be so vile in doing it (example: I wish Finley would be more Physical or the defense would break out of their zone better) Someone else posted that these players are very young and they will make mistakes,what they do from there is the key. The WCHA has always been a JR. and SR. league.

Maybe with your love affair with the Golden Rodents you should post over on GPL,you would be loved over there
