Hak talks about playing 60 minutes but his teams rarely do. The 4 1/2 minutes to start the 3rd were embarrassing. Sleep walking...all 18 skaters. Puck was in our D zone for 4 of those minutes. At home with a lead...unacceptable to start the last period like that.
With that being said...I really thought we were good defensively minus that stretch. Stecher right now is our most complete D-man. Cue Wilbur.... Zane was hung out to dry on all 3 goals. He was solid. Hak's system offensively is so regimented that when we can't control the puck and cycle we get nothing. We have speed...carry the puck in on occasion! Chyzyk can work the walls and he can create offensively. I like his game so much more than Mitch and he got PP time. Seriously??? Mark Mac's line needs to be much better and so does Rocco. Thought Luke held his own and Drake is mini me Oshie. Love that kid.
As great as our PK is our PP is so brutal. The penalty with 3 minutes to go was the nail in the coffin. Would have been better off 5x5. Now that's sad to even suggest.
We gave away 3 points but I like the overall make up of this team. Just can't give a team like SCSU free minutes of ice time because we decide to take consecutive shifts off.
Agree with everything you said. Rocco in my mind has to pick it up big time. He is our star.

Are you for real?
Haha that made me laugh.

I just don't see enough firepower with this group this year - I feel the defense will mold into a great group but I don't see a lot of scorers. I am also somewhat disappointed that we are in the second year of this goalie tandem and neither one has stepped foreward to be the guy (even though Gothberg seems to have the edge).
Beside the Saturday Miami game gothberg has been fine. The problem has been with our lineup/line combinations. -
Is the correct answer to #5 Schmaltz?
Probably not.

Another sore spot with me is the "young" label. UND has 11 upperclassmen. That has to be average among college teams. The "young" label just means the coaches have not done a great job of landing players at UND lately, which is why I suspect Eades was let go. However, in all fairness, this is not a "young" team.
I'm not using this as an excuse by any means but our team is young bud.
-
in this i assume raw=young? that doesn't constitute their coaching being better than UND's.
Motzko is a great coach, he pulled in vanek at um which pretty much won two nattys, I would say he has out coached Hak. Given the opportunities our university would bring I would think he would do just fine coaching a similar program as ours.
-
Wow - when did St. Cloud State get better than us?
They've been better for the past year or so.
-
I think we have some great players on our team and we have had some great players come through this program over the last decade. We will also get better as the season goes. My one issue with the Sioux over the past 3-4 years is how they play when they have the lead. No matter what period it is it seems as though they are sitting back and waiting for the game to get over. Where are all the stat chasers? Where are all the guys who want to embarrass a team in their own building? This team tonight was playing for the 1-0 win and that's it. This has been a common theme in big games under the current regime.

I miss Eades
Ditto

What a bad loss...reminds me if that Yale game. Get up, sit back, hopefully we don't lose....we lose.
-
I can already smell an empty netter. Frustrating but it's a young squad.
-
Their pp is so bad
-
They look bad...they came out strong but let off big time. Scsu is definitely the better team.
-
Webcast slightly choppy
-
Colton better be less than 100% to not be in lineup. That surprises me...the lovefest with Mitch doesn't surprise me any more.
Like Luke up the middle w Rocco and Drake.
Ditto on your entire post. Still shocked Mitch is playing, he's such a black hole out there. Hopefully I'm wrong tonight.
-
Sounds like Drake will be in lineup tonight...amazing after witnessing his fall Saturday.
My question is does Mitch play after looking ok vs. a USHL team?
I doubt it.
-
What's bothering me today....why hasn't Danny Kristo been called up yet?
-
Anyone with any knowledge on Drake and his status for this weekend?
After seeing his incident happen right in front of us, my gut says he sits this weekend as a precautionary measure.
I was in the box kiddy-corner from the injury so I honestly didn't see what happened only read about it. I agree that it would be best if he sat the weekend unless he simply got a stinger and is ok.
-
I'm glad we got that sorted out. Unfortunately, it clogged up my message of 'blue chippah' vs 'blue chipper,' which I thought was pretty amusing.
Hey, I thought it was hilarious.
-
Your post was redundant and came across as condescending. If you were agreeing, that's all you had to say.
Noted.

when we gunna get a blue chippa
Soon, next year (finger's crossed).

Really?
You realize I was referring to the fact that BC is currently ROTATING their goalies, right?
Yes, I was actually agreeing with you that Demko IS their goalie. I guess I could see where an extremely defensive person could misconstrue what I posted to think I was trying to correct you. Haha, settle down buddy.

I remember educating my wife about Toewser...Oshie was flashier with the dangles and big hits, Duncan racked up the goals, but Toewser was a PERFECT hockey player. He did everything right.
I was just telling by Goofer buddy that I thought Toews was the best college hockey player I have seen in my lifetime. As far as a complete hockey player goes. He was super young but I had the feeling he was going to be an NHL star. I didn't know he would go on to captain to Cups before the age of 26 (I believe).
Time to Fire Dave Hakstol....

Hak isn't going anywhere, however, looking at the players/teams who have came and gone over the past decade it is mind-boggling we didn't win a natty during that time. Especially since every time we we knocked out we pretty much shot ourselves in the foot. In recent years our teams simply can't put a full game together.
