burd Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 Mini NHL . . . Ha! This is big time, baby. Does the NHL even have the traditional circle of sticks? Professional hockey is where Sioux players go for a quieter, more peaceful time in their lives. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny thing is, they had a JV team in the early 70s and Gino coached them, I think. I knew some players who did not think much of Gino. They may have been recruited by Rube but pushed by Gino at a time when he was aspiring for more than the team was delivering--I don't know. Rube had been a hell of a coach, and Gino obviously turned out to be one. Big difference between the drought of those years and the last 10 -15 years, though. The Sioux have consistently been one of the top programs in the country. In those days, they just got beat a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were instantly good when Gino took over as the HC, so the cupboard was not bare when Rube was fired. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sauer's teams never got as bad as Rube's later teams, but he faded too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fsioux Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 You are correct that those were not very good years for Rube. He certainly should have gotten better results with the talent he had such as Earl Anderson, Jim Cahoon, Hangsleben. Dennis Johnson was one of my favorite players to watch. There were very dark days at the end of Rube's tenure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tufte is 22 goals 15 assists for 37 in 12 games played for comparisons sake. Again I haven't seen him play just have heard from a few people that have.

I have heard he hasn't had the greatest high school season so far and has been very inconsistent. I watched him play against Edina several weeks back. The talent level and reach is definitely there. He's good. He needs to get much bigger and he must improve his motor. A decent amount of coasting. GR has been playing some pretty tough teams but as a previous poster noted Tufte is going bonkers right now. Mattson should be doing the same. I'm guessing the scouts see Mattson's skillset which is very real. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZSIOUX Posted January 6, 2016 Author Share Posted January 6, 2016 Mattson has good size at his age and will get stronger no doubt. This draft will be dominated by USA and fins early on. Jost could be one first few candiens taken anywhere from 8 on or so it seems. Down year for Canada which is rare for top top end guys as of now. Then throw in Tufte (umd) and bellows (BU) there could be a few nchc/NCAA guys taken in first round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tufte has really jumped up - both he and Michael Graham were B rated when they were with the Force this Fall (both supposed to come back after their HS season is over).
