  1. I think Big Mac asside we don't have any really defensive defenseman. we have a lot of skilled offensive d. we have been spoiled over the past how many years with bigger bruising dmen whose main objective was to make opponents pay with pain not to score and create offensive opportunities.. we don't have that this year. hence our in zone d has been a liability so far and probably will for the most part this season. which makes it more important that they find a way to score 4 plus goals a game. as we'll be giving up 3-4 on a more consistent basis.

    As soon as Rocco quits hitting posts that should add at least 4 more goals a game:)

  2. Last week it was noticeable as they were taking forever to make that first pass and when they did it seemed like it didn't connect much. Just let Rocco skate it in everytime he's out there :) He gets so low and is so fast not many can touch him. Look forward to these games and I wonder of each goalie gets a crack?

    If Notre dame was to join new conference they could have had a ND riavlry trophy with each others ND on each side.

    I just hope they start getting faster getting to their break outs and on there breaks outs because right now they're passing isnt near good enough to get around the other team except for Rocco's, he just needs to start taking the puck right to the net again and the rest of the team needs to stop being so lazy!!!!

  3. Positives from this weekend:

    I really think we are getting to some lines- Knight with Kristo and MacMillan is legit, so is Grimaldi with Caggiula and St Clair. I actually think all forward lines showed me something tonight.

    Negatives from this weekend:

    Terrible breakout, worse power play, and even worse defensive zone play

    So, everything that needs work is coached, that means the coaches can do something about it.

    I don't ever remember a sioux team with a good break out and they REALLY REALLY have to stop doing those 5 on 5 penalty kils!!

  4. I have know clue what Berry is trying to do on the PP.

    The only good thing about our d men is they're taking more shots. What are Forbort and Kristo doing passing it back and forth 5 feet apart from each other when its a 5 on 3 uuuuuuuuuuuugggggghhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!

  5. i dont understand the no call on rocco when the badge player barely touched haula

    Haula- Minnesota

    Grimaldi- North Dakota

    I rest my case, yea I'm probly wearing green glasses lol. I shouldn't say anything cuz I didn't see the hit on either player.

    Does anyone else think Grimaldi should just go to the net instead of stopping right after the blue line and waiting to set up a pass, unless its on the PP?

  6. Okay just watched the holka hit on simpson, thanks for posting that Goon. That hit didnt look as bad but he pushed into Simpson more against the boards. Simpson didn't go down like LeBlanc did but Leblanc couldv made it look that bad. I could be thinking with my green head here but I don't remember a Sioux player making a hit look bad, they've always got back up unless they were physically unable to.

  7. It looked bad because Leblanc went into "rag doll" mode instead of playing straight up like a man. Everybody watch the video on Goon's blog and see how slowly Schmaltz is coming towards Leblanc.

    I'd like to know what Brian Burke thought of the penalty. He was there. Don Adam would be a laughingstock if he was in the NHL.

    I watch the clip on my phone, couldn't really see much on the regular camera. From were the on ice camera starts I guess I couldn't tell how fast Jordan was coming in, so I guess would be nice to see a longer clip of it
