sioux rube Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 I agree. Rocco needs to be on the top line. I hope Hak does it and sticks with it the rest of the season. Love Panz back on D but I still like Gaarder in the lineup more than Gleason at forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilbur Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 I agree. Rocco needs to be on the top line. I hope Hak does it and sticks with it the rest of the season. Love Panz back on D but I still like Gaarder in the lineup more than Gleason at forward. Although he got the game winner and all, I think Gaarder adds a lot more up front than Jim does. Yes, Jim got the game winner, but he was also playing with Kristo at that particular moment and it was just a tap in goal. I hope Friday shapes up something like this as far as line combos go: Kristo-Knight-Grimaldi Parks-Mark M.-Rowney Drake-Mitch-Gaarder Jim-General-Gleason Mac-Mattson Forbort-Schmaltz Simpson-Panzarella Clark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZSIOUX Posted January 13, 2013 Author Share Posted January 13, 2013 Rowney can't play wing. he was brutal in that 4 games or so they tried. Hak admitted it didn't work. Load the top line. After that we still have 2 more solid lines then the 4th can do what they so best. If Rodwell is back then I go st Clair rodwell general gaarder could be back in for odonnell or Gleason with panz at D. Look forward to Friday!

Siouxhockey1978 Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 I totally agree Rocco has the skills get him in the top line. Going be a long weekend if r D don't pick up and give the goalie a little help. By long weekend I mean like 7 plus goals a night for the gophers they r on fire right now and we need to end that this weekend. We all can agree us and gophers fans the officials need to be on their game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiouxScore Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 I really don't think it matters who is on that top line with Kristo and Knight but I kind of liked the way Mitch MacMillan played there last night. The biggest question mark to me is whether Gleason is at defense, forward, or scratched. Even when he was at forward last night he played a good amount at defense on the penalty kill and in the 3rd period as well as some powerplay. I think we will see a lineup like this Friday night: Mitch MacMillan-Knight-Kristo Mark MacMillan-Rowney-Parks Caggiula-Grimaldi-Rodwell/Gaarder Senkbeil-Pattyn-St.Clair Mattson-Mac Forbort-Schmaltz Simpson-Gleason/Panzerella Saunders/Gothberg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petey23 Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 What are the chances we don't get a Anderson or either of the Shepherds for this series??? About a million to 1? I would bet and hope that we get Derek Shepherd and Marco Hunt this weekend. They are far and away the best tandem the league has to offer, which is sad..... Mousseaux and Morrison would be my 2nd choice. Brad Shepherd, Todd Andeson, and Don Adam need to be as far away from the John as possible.

Wilbur Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 Mousseaux does a good job. He doesn't do a lot of the yapping that Anderson and B. Shep do. Calls penalties, gets the players to the box, play hockey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siouxhockey1978 Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 we will get the worse combo I predict Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oxbow6 Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 If Hak isn't going to play Rocco on top line then Mark Mac w Drake is who Rocco might click. Parks Rowney and Gaarder would be ok as well. Mitch seems to be offensively suited to okay w Kristo on opposite wing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oxbow6 Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 I like Jim w Pattyn. Thought those 2 work the grinding game well together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geaux_sioux Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 Call me crazy but maybe that third line would spark Odonnel out of his slump and make three legit scoring lines. Mitch MacMillan-Knight-Kristo Mark MacMillan-Rowney-Parks Caggiula-Grimaldi-Odonnel Senkbeil-Pattyn-Gleason Mattson-Mac Forbort-Schmaltz Simpson-Panzerella Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caggiula-Grimaldi-Odonnel That puts Rocco at center which is his natural position. Could work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scpa0305 Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 after what I have seen the last 10 periods, unfortunately I don't see us getting more than a point. minny might just run us out of the building. I hope not....but I'm not as confident anymore. Besides knight and kristo, our lines look out of synch and were not playing well in our own zone anymore.

cberkas Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 Mitch MacMillan-Mark MacMillan-Parks - I'd like to see these three together Mitch MacMillan-Knight-Kristo Mark MacMillan-Rowney-Parks Caggiula-Grimaldi-St. Clair Gaarder-Pattyn-Rodwell - O'Donnell and Chyzyk could be pluged in on this line. Mattson-MacWilliam Forbert-Schmalts Simpson-Panzarella I think Panzarella is going to play in one of the games. If Pazarella play does Gleason go to forward and bring speed to the 4th line.

Goon Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 Dare you to be positive for a day! Just one. Don't let me down. Heck! Why even go then? Maybe UND should mail the points to the Gophers?

geaux_sioux Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 Panzerella is a must. We have too many finesse d men without him in there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
808287 Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 I just hope that the team that played the second period last night against CC shows up for 125 minutes each night next weekend. GO SIOUX!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oxbow6 Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 Panzerella is a must. We have too many finesse d men without him in there Agree. I have not seen UND Dman let other team forwards walk the puck to the dots without putting a body on them like I did this past series. Simpson though has turned into a very solid dependable Dman. Smart and simple. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZSIOUX Posted January 13, 2013 Author Share Posted January 13, 2013 Agree. I have not seen UND Dman let other team forwards walk the puck to the dots without putting a body on them like I did this past series. Simpson though has turned into a very solid dependable Dman. Smart and simple. Dillon has turned into a hell of a good d man on both ends. Nice to have panz in there with him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siouxweet Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 I think someone made mention of this earlier, but how sad is it we don't have one line combo set in stone and it is the middle of january. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that big of a deal really. There are 3/4 major factors to this. Rodwells injury shakes up the 4th line, Parks injury, Mitch not being eligible until HC series which is same series parks came back. 3rd reason is Rocco being at wjt missing HC series. All 3 guys mentioned are top 6 forwards and I believe we see things will shake out over the next month barring no injuries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snake Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 I think Nelson not returning set this whole thing up since it starts exactly with finding someone to play with Knight and Kristo. The dominoes fall from there as they search for the right compliment. Simply putting Rocco on that top line could avoid a lot of shuffling by allowing the reunion of a pretty successful RPM tandem from last year.
