siouxweet Posted December 31, 2011 Posted December 31, 2011 so here's my question-what the heck was knight doing back in the lineup if he was only good for what four shifts. obviously whatever injury he has was healed yet to the point where he could go a full game. Quote
Goon Posted December 31, 2011 Posted December 31, 2011 so here's my question-what the heck was knight doing back in the lineup if he was only good for what four shifts. obviously whatever injury he has was healed yet to the point where he could go a full game. Knight practiced all week long and was fine, he got injuried on a hit from a Harvard player. Quote
Oxbow6 Posted December 31, 2011 Posted December 31, 2011 Anyone think Hak would give up this month's salary to not have let Cichy and Bruno walk after last season based on the current situation. Those two leaving still is troubling IMO. Both would have been decent contributors this year IMO. Quote

Those two leaving still is troubling IMO. Both would have been decent contributors this year IMO. He's probably fine with his decision. If there weren't so many injuries those 2 would never play. Sometimes the injury bug bites teams and there's not a whole lot you can do. Minnesota's been bitten the last few years, granted not near as bad as UND has been this season, but they've had some pretty big ones. Quote

Other than Parks and Rocco, they probably would have had spots in front of the rest of the freshman and Dickin. Kind of a mute point, but look at the names of our 4th line last pm? Put in Rocco, Mario and you still have Cichy playing for sure in place of those 3 guys. Bruno would have pushed Gaarder and MacMillan for sure for ice time. Quote

I saw Bruno play when Vermont was in Minneapolis this year and he didn't stand out at all, even on a team as bad as Vermont. He's only got 8 points this season. His younger brother is a D man and has more. He could have competed for ice time on the lower lines with UND this year and been another body on the roster, but I think that's about it. I believe he's second line at Vermont, I'd have to imagine if he did play at UND he would be a 4th liner. Quote

Out of curiosity, where would you rank Cichy and Bruneteau in the lineup if we had St. Clair and Miller like the coaches had expected? Honestly, there wasn't much out there for the coaches to pick from in such short notice. There were a handful of unexpected circumstances leading into this season and they did the best they could to fill spots. Quote
Wilbur Posted December 31, 2011 Posted December 31, 2011 My lord.....talk about depleted lineup......This has to be the worst year in terms of injuries in Sioux history. Quote

St. Clair was/is way over-hyped IMO having seen him play few times with Force. Quote
brianvf Posted December 31, 2011 Posted December 31, 2011 UND’s lines 29 Brock Nelson–27 Carter Rowney–7 Danny Kristo 16 Mark MacMillan–21 Brendan O’Donnell–13 Connor Gaarder 15 Michael Parks–28 Stephane Pattyn–20 Joe Gleason 8 Dan Senkbeil–14 Taylor Dickin 2 Andrew MacWilliam–5 Nick Mattson 18 Dillon Simpson–24 Ben Blood 22 Andrew Panzarella 32 Aaron Dell 31 Brad Eidsness 35 Tate Maris That's going to be one tired group of players after tonight. Geez, the Sioux really can't catch a break with injuries this year. Can Tate play out? 1 Quote
gfhockey Posted December 31, 2011 Posted December 31, 2011 Granted injuries aside... how can our cupboard be this empty? Quote

Can Tate play out? I thought the same thing Brian. Throw him out on a wing with Nelson and Kristo, they'll make anyone look good. You've got to believe Lamoureax is doing his absolute best to try and get himself into the lineup, but the coaches aren't going to risk it for the stretch run in the league. I remember a couple years ago some gopher fans on USCHO were railing on UND and Blais for having so many players on the team, and having so many guys having to sit out because you can only dress 20 for a game.....doesn't seem like such a bad thing to have those extra bodies around....

brianvf Posted January 1, 2012 Posted January 1, 2012 Granted injuries aside... how can our cupboard be this empty? Two guys leave during the offseason partly because of playing time concerns...one highly touted recruit doesn't arrive on campus...another recruit gets sidelined for the year by the NCAA...the best incoming freshman in the nation has been out for almost the entire season...Knight is injured...Captain Lammy is injured...Rodwell is injured...Forbort is at the WJC (and injured)... I think that pretty much sums it up for the current status of the team and their "empty cupboard". There's not much in there that the coaching staff could have prepared for...even if they were prepared for Cichy and Bruno's departures, they were still expecting Miller and St. Clair to be playing right now. Toss in five current injured players and I think that explains the situation. Quote
wsdSIOUXfalls Posted January 1, 2012 Posted January 1, 2012 8:20 left in 1st period Sioux 2 - Harvard 1 Godt Nytt År, everyone! Quote
wsdSIOUXfalls Posted January 1, 2012 Posted January 1, 2012 (edited) Kristo! 3-1 Sioux Sioux power play coming....Harvard with too many men Pat corrected it to "unsportsmanlike conduct"... Edited January 1, 2012 by wsdSIOUXfalls Quote
Wilbur Posted January 1, 2012 Posted January 1, 2012 3-1 Sioux.....tremendous play by Pattyn to keep the play alive, and Kristo finishes the play the way he normally does. Quote
wsdSIOUXfalls Posted January 1, 2012 Posted January 1, 2012 Kristo again! Let's go for a hatty! Quote
wsdSIOUXfalls Posted January 1, 2012 Posted January 1, 2012 2 min left in 1st Sioux 4-1 m-o-m-e-n-t-u-m... Quote
Let'sGoHawks! Posted January 1, 2012 Posted January 1, 2012 Damn, you'd like Dell to stop one like that, great snipe though. Quote
WiSioux Posted January 1, 2012 Posted January 1, 2012 The last minute always make me nervous. Can't wait to get home after midnight and watch that first period. Quote
Let'sGoHawks! Posted January 1, 2012 Posted January 1, 2012 Epic start, Mark Macmillan goal with the delayed penalty, time for a FIGHTING SIOUX PP! 5-2 with 19:03 to go in 2nd. Quote
wsdSIOUXfalls Posted January 1, 2012 Posted January 1, 2012 probably the last game we'll hear Darrin Looker announce our "Fighting Sioux" Quote
