the green team Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 Hey, I didn't have a chance to listen to the Coaches Show last night - did they start talking about hockey, and if so, was Hak on, what was said? Just curious thought it might be that time of year again. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nodak hockey fanatic Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 Pretty ho-hum show, not much to talk about I suppose... First segment talked pretty much the entire time about the cycle. Hak says the key to an effective cycle is strength on the puck and communication, best evidenced by Marto's goal Sunday. The mindset of the cycle is still first and foremost to create offensive opportunities, but also is very hard on the opponent physically and mentally (in response to them suggesting some fans think the cycle doesn't create enough opportunity offensively, or think its just killing time skating the puck in the corner.) They asked who has been the best cycler to come through in Haks time... said Bayda probably one of the best along with Travis Zajac. Also said this year we have some beasts in Vande and Gregoire... he kind of chuckled and said "I like to see people try to take Vandy off the puck" Second segment talked about Merrimack... team from out east with mostly western Canadians Will be a tough, gritty team. Doesn't expect the Sioux to be sharp in all the detailed aspects of the game, and will need to outwork them for two full games. No one played themselves out of a spot last Sunday, and has been a very competitive week of practice. Expect to see some changes this weekend to try some different combos, but any way you slice it, will have some talented deserving kids not dressed each night. Was nice to see all four + lines play well, and seven different scorers on the scoresheet. Talked briefly on Kristo and what his impact will be, simply stated "someone with quick feet and hands like him will separate themselves from the pack very quickly" - quite the compliment from a pretty straightforward Hak this week. Final segment: Hak thought Lapoint looked great, especially the second half of the game Sunday, but there will be some bumps and pain along the way, so he is not out of the woods completely, but Hak loves this guy. 3 senior captains - all bring a different type of leadership, but one thing that they have in common is that all three will be significant players, on and off ice, for this team all year. That was about it, lets play some hockey and get the season's first sweep!! Go Sioux!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
