Wookie#12 Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 String of Frozen Fours is getting very remote. Even the Final Five is looking distant. One way to save money Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn-O Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 I love these guys, but they just do not have "it". Looks like we got ourselves a rebuilding year - guess you've got to have one of those every several years or so. I agree. I'll be there cheering my lungs out against the Goofs, but this team's got a first class ticket on a nonstop to nowhere right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One way to save money A Final Five without the Green and White just won't be the same. It's starting to look like winning the Final Five will be our one and only ticket to the NCAA tournament.

SiouxFanatic Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 OMG........... Is this really happening?? WTF is going on?? This is embarrassing!!! Yeah it is. We seriously just lost to Michigan State and Michigan Tech. Both way below average teams. Where does that put us? I love these guys, but they just do not have "it". Looks like we got ourselves a rebuilding year - guess you've got to have one of those every several years or so. Hear, hear! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeidiSioux62 Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 Well that was quite the embarassing weekend. Losing to the last two teams in the country back to back. OUCH!!!! Wasn't able to watch, but sounded on the radio like they just DID NOT play well. 2 goals on the weekend? What happened to the team that had 24 goals in the last 4 games? Got a feeling there's going to be some "intense" practices this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watching this team and reading this board has me doubting Hak for the first time. Things are not good in Siouxland right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like we got ourselves a rebuilding year - guess you've got to have one of those every several years or so. You know what is really scary, if this is a rebuilding year, I'm afraid of next year. We have 8 seniors this year and next year we will have 3 seniors and 6 juniors for a total of 9 upperclassmen (that is if nobody leaves early). If this year continues as it is currently going we're probably going to have a couple of years where we will have to just have to remember "We Love Our Sioux - NO MATTER WHAT" (kind of like parents of teenage kids ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siouxweet Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 where was our beloved captain this weekend? where was the leadership? this is where this team is lacking, nobody to step up and say follow me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

siouxweet Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 the last three years we've hit rock bottom in december right before x-mas. maybe this year we hit it this weekend at the end of december. bottom line is we need to start winning games. only way we make the tourney is to go on some lengthy unbeaten streak like 10 or 12 games. I'm not sure this squad has it in them to do that especially with our schedule. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let'sGoHawks! Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 The crappy part is that I don't think we will have the PWR to make the tourney. We are going to have to win the Final Five. A sweep against BSU is a must to try and get our PWR up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Whistler Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 Rock bottom a few years ago was when we got swept by the St Clownies at home in late January or February. I left the building thinking the season was over. We may not have hit rock bottom yet and still might make the tourney. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiese2006 Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 After last night changes were in order. Kozek is lucky that he isn't watching this one. Did you look at the box scores from last night? Kozek had 3 shots on goal, why blame one player and not the whole team? What about the powerplay, they got nothing done AGAIN, doesn't that say anything? They switched lines again today, and still nothing is happening.

But the Sioux are shooting themselves in the foot with their end results in these very crucial non-conference tournaments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
808287 Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 While it was a dismal weekend in the W column, I note a couple of encouraging things. 1. This team was "clicking" over the past six games (before this weekend). 2. Trupp and Finley return and most lines are juggled. Changing the aforementioned "click". 3. Hakstol and Eades will figure out the chemistry again. The "click" will return. Will it be in time for the Goofs? We'll see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A sweep against BSU is a must to try and get our PWR up. Win a couple against the Goofs we would vault up there. I wonder what a couple of sister kissing might do as well to the PWR ranking?

siouxweet Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 mark this post. we will not sweep bsu next weekend. they are a better team than us. they beat umass and swept mtech something we couldn't do. plus one of these years they will beat us. this seems as good as any. our pairwise is shot. I'm not even sure finishing second or third in the wcha would get us in. wasn't it a couple of years ago denver finished second and didn't get in because of a crappy nc record. it is starting to look like this team could be screwed.

gopherz Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 At least the Vikings won for those of you who are Vikings fans? Those 7 days are going to be expensive, I just bought tickets for the game against Philly plus the GOPHERS/sioux game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siouxprideforever Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 Wow, I missed this one, I thought that our boys would rebound big time! Guess not! Not sure I can see any member of this team playing in the NHL - which means, we should have no reason for not building a great team at some point over the next four years. This pain may be the foundation and perhaps necessary step to building a team of the future - also not sure many of us have the patience. It is what it is! This team may be Hak's proverbial 100 pounds of clay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fightingsioux4life Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 Michigan leads Michigan State 4-1 after two periods. Why isn't Jeff Lerg "the difference" tonight? I think we all know the answer to that question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wookie#12 Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 Just for the record MSU just scored against Michigan. So far that's all they have got. Now 5 - 1 Michigan with 17 to play in the 3rd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
