yababy8 Posted November 23, 2008 Posted November 23, 2008 The Fans, the players and the coach keeps saying the Sioux are close and they are due a break out game where they find the back of the net more. I have an opinion why the Sioux are not doing that so far. I'm going to throw out my take on it so everyone on Sioux Sports can confirm it our shoot it down as they watch the game tonight and in future games So here is my take on the Sioux. Oh and by the way I have been seeing this since last year: Most guys on the team have no touch when touch is called for!!! They make each and every pass with the same velocity- FAST. Its like a golfer taking the same big swing with thier mid irons, wedges and even putter that they use when they swing thier driver. The Sioux are not adjusting their pass speed and shot precision when it is called for- mainly from inside the circles from side board to side board and from behind the net and on all centering set-up feeds. How many times have we seen a player wiff on a one time shot in the crease with a open net in front of him? Hextall miss 3 against CC alone. Last night we would have won the game if a couple of our feeds wouldn't have been sent to the shooter at 800 miles an hour. Same thing with shots.. I think every time Kozak shoots the puck he ends up on a knee because he is firing so hard. Nice position to handle a second effort off of a rebound huh? Hard shots are fine from the point but inside the circles you don't need speed, you need placement. The goalie has much less time to react so the speed issue is not as much a variable. I have also been noticing that because we shoot so damn hard at the goalie most of the time our rebounds have been flying right off the goalie toward the side boards way away from any of our sharks looking for a rebound. The hard speed passes are great out at the points and across the zone but our team does not have a short game.. So watch tonigh and see if I'm off base on this. Unfortunatly I won't be able to chat about this during the game because I am going to record the game and watch it later but I will check it out after I'm done.
Sioux_Hab-it Posted November 23, 2008 Posted November 23, 2008 When will they make a knee on knee a Major. That was deliberate and it could have ended Trupp's season let alone his career.
BigGreyAnt41 Posted November 23, 2008 Posted November 23, 2008 Somebody at Comcast finally flipped the switch so the game is on channel 13 again now.
BigGreyAnt41 Posted November 23, 2008 Posted November 23, 2008 FSSN actually has a power play clock!!! Well...they've got a camera pointed at the scoreboard, but good enough.
farce poobah Posted November 23, 2008 Posted November 23, 2008 Ugh. This is the worst I've seen from the Sioux so far this year. Couple dozen mental mistakes already.
Sioux_Hab-it Posted November 23, 2008 Posted November 23, 2008 They certainly don't look very hungry.
siouxforeverbaby Posted November 23, 2008 Posted November 23, 2008 we just got lucky that they did not call that checking from behind. i thought for sure that it would be.
nodak hockey fanatic Posted November 23, 2008 Posted November 23, 2008 2 and 10 cfb on hextall, there goes the top line for a period.
fightingsioux4life Posted November 23, 2008 Posted November 23, 2008 Eidsness the only player who has shown up tonight.
passit_offthegoalie Posted November 23, 2008 Posted November 23, 2008 !@#$ this. FSSN just quit working again. I don't understand how it can be working and then it's just gone, and they can't fix it??
Sioux_Hab-it Posted November 23, 2008 Posted November 23, 2008 2 and 10 cfb on hextall, there goes the top line for a period. Hextall back out there so no 10.
BigGreyAnt41 Posted November 23, 2008 Posted November 23, 2008 You can really open-ice blind side a player who doesn't have the puck?
nodak hockey fanatic Posted November 23, 2008 Posted November 23, 2008 Hextall back out there so no 10. was just going on what th said on the radio... that's good for us, we will need him out there.
BigGreyAnt41 Posted November 23, 2008 Posted November 23, 2008 Even the Duluth announcers are annoyed that they called this. "These guys are just trying to play a physical game and finish a check and they call charging."
keikla Posted November 23, 2008 Posted November 23, 2008 How was that a penalty? I guess the sioux will have to play like pansies in order to stay out of the box
BigGreyAnt41 Posted November 23, 2008 Posted November 23, 2008 These Duluth guys can't say "Eidsness" either. I didn't know it was that hard of a name to pronounce correctly.
USA Posted November 23, 2008 Posted November 23, 2008 Even the Duluth announcers are annoyed that they called this. "These guys are just trying to play a physical game and finish a check and they call charging." BS call!! Kozek was gliding for 8-10 feet before he ran that guy over.
farce poobah Posted November 23, 2008 Posted November 23, 2008 A few positive signs late in the period. We're hitting, and we're moving out feet. There's hope for the 2nd period ...
siouxforce19 Posted November 23, 2008 Posted November 23, 2008 I'm already annoyed with these damn refs. Hopefully we come out flying for the 2nd. We really need to.
nodak hockey fanatic Posted November 23, 2008 Posted November 23, 2008 sioux pp... lets get some opportunities here.
passit_offthegoalie Posted November 23, 2008 Posted November 23, 2008 duluth must do drills on how best to drag a guy down or obstruct him in any way possible
passit_offthegoalie Posted November 23, 2008 Posted November 23, 2008 we either wait too long so that a guy can block the shot, or we just pass it around too long
