SIOUXELEVENS

How nice would it be to sign Nash for 07 and Gregoire,Toews for 08 and Ness for 09.

Our they the same duo from SNL withour the capes and masks(Irman & Potulny)

Sometimes tournaments don't go as planned just ask the Golden Ones, Shattuck played decent just couldn't put the biscuit in the basket(sound familiar)

TJ Oshie,the kid could stick handle in a phone booth,rocks people with checks and is way to unselfish in his play. Oshie is just inches from scoring lots of goals,lets hope he gives us one more year.

I got nothing

Yes THETRIOUXPER is an expert in dumb posts but he also has very good ones also so he does know the difference. If PCM forms a committee you should get a look to chair it at the very least

Maybe Hakstol can't put the puck in for Oshie but he can change the way the team approachs the game.Hakstol seems way to conservative in his offensive scheme.In the three years he has been at the helm they seem to hover around 3.0 gpg since he became head coach. In Hakstols first year Eric Fabian said that the difference between Hakstol and Blais is the forecheck was more structured and not so much wide open. Hakstol has had 2 plus years and his offense hasn't shined yet maybe it's time to try something else. I'am not calling for Hakstols head just changes,show some emotion,some fire from the bence. I believe Hakstol can coach and recruit but don't act the the band on the Titanic and just keep playing the same song as the ship sinks. Done ranting,Go Sioux and kick some Seapup a$$.

Ditto

I think Hakstol needs to blend a little of Blais's gunslinger mentality into his conservative approach. When Hakstol took the reigns he said that most people wouldn't be able to tell the difference, this is one glaring example.

They were at a point per game early,at least Bruneteau was but the last 6-7 games they have been very quiet. Hextall looks like he brings grit and some scoring and Lapoint and Trupp just keep racking up the points

It appears(by stats only) that Bruneteau and Malone have cooled off points wise for Omaha and Sioux Falls. We need people who can dent the twine right from the get go.

Aaron Ness is also a defenseman

When the same oh same thing doesn't work try something different

Nice post dagies. In a different thread I predicted we would sweep CC now we just half to make it up against Denver,MInn or SCSU. Hopefully the Sioux will keep up the strong play and secure home ice at least for the WCHA first round.

How about Toews-Duncan-Porter haven't tried it yet this year. Oshie-Miller-Kozek, Kaip-Watkins-Fabian and the Frosh line of Zajac-Forney-VanVelde with Mertens to replace anyone who doesn't play well on Friday

According to Brads blog the Sioux have scoring avg. not seen since Rube Bjorkman reign not good.If the Sioux start denting the twine a little more all of our defense mistakes won't be quite as glaring as there our now.The transition game is almost non-existent and almost no offensive pressure,except for cycling along the walls until the puck gets turned over and goes the other way. Time to try something different on the offensive side and fore-check.

I have read all three pages but maybe you could re-read them for me.No where does it say what happens if he comes back here next year only what happens if he takes a year off or doesn't get credits in Jr. college or plays a full year in the BCHL next year,maybe you should read the whole thing before jumping my s@#$ about reading the whole thread

Could Hunter come back here next year without losing any eligibilty?(assuming he would want to and the Coaches would want him back)

The first half we had a lot of lot of close games that we didn't play very well or just didn't score, the tide will turn and I think we will go 10-4 in the WCHA and 14-4 overall. If Hakstol gives Greico some more starts it will help,maybe even try Walski. In the three seasons Lammy has played here he just doesn't get goal support for one reason or another. Kinda reminds me of Schweitzer vs Goehring in 97-98 season. Lets start the second half off with two wins,3rd or 4th liners step up with the World Jrs. players missing.

I ment it with sarcasm

Sounds like it was a defensive battle. You don't have the box score do you?

The Sioux are currently in 8th place in the WCHA with a recored of 5-8-1(7-10-1 overall). They are 7 points from 2nd, 4 from 3rd, 3 from 4th and only 1 point from home ice. The Sioux need to sweep CC,AA,Mankato,UMD, split with UM,SCSU and DU. The Goalies need one less goal against and the Offense needs one more goal for,not real big goals but should be attainable. Hopefully Dane Jackson gets the penality kill figured out and we can become more physical without fear of taking a penality we can't kill. Toews and Oshie go on second half tears and Lee and Chorny come back from the World Jrs. ready to play like we all know they can. The Third and Fourth line start chpping in goals and we make it To the WCHA final five and then the NCAA's. (All I want for X-mas is a good 2nd half)

Snarl,sneer or scowl I don't care. Smile when you win I don't care just show some emotion. I don't know what goes on behind the scene but face value it seems to me that nobody gets to riled up win or lose.

Emotion from the bench,not on Hakstols watch. Rewatching Sats. game at the end when Hakstol had Shepard at the bench it looked like Dane Jackson was trying to get into it with Shepard and Hakstol turned around and gave him the zip it look
