Oxbow6 Posted February 3, 2013 Posted February 3, 2013 Keys to success: 1. Scoring first and early. This allowed for an up-tempo game. 2. Switching Rocco and Danny left to right. Danny and "Bob" are a great tandem. If those two are keyed on, Rocco can create all by himself. I envision this line firing on all cylinders come playoffs. 3. Michael Parks. We need him to play like this the rest of the year. 4. The Rowney, Parks and Caggiula line- I really, really like this line 5. Easy Mac to the third line with Colton- even though Colton's night ended early, I liked what I saw. I think we are seeing that Easy Mac's style might be best suited other than on the top two lines...not a knock on his skill...this is a chemistry move 6. Tenacity out of the fourth line- that was a Sioux fourth line last night 7. Zane- other than one stupid move that cost us a goal, he played very well again. He was outstanding on Friday night. 8. Few defensive zone mistakes. 9. Gleason and Simpson jumping into the offensive play opportunistically. Great take on all if this. If Colton isn't injured would like to see Mark Colton and Bryn. Mitch isn't the guy there. Connor could work though. Was nice to see an early goal...keep momentum with PK then score the 2nd one. Kudos to Jim and Pattyn for getting nasty. This team needs more of that. Quote
siouxweet Posted February 3, 2013 Posted February 3, 2013 this doesn't cure all ills but is sure a step in the right direction as long as they continue to take those steps. we said the same thing after the sat night gopher tie and saw what happened the following friday against scsu. Quote
Goon Posted February 3, 2013 Posted February 3, 2013 You would be correct. Rule 6, Section 34.F reads as follows: Funny you should mention that... Here is video evidence of that. Quote

Few defensive zone mistakes. 9. Gleason and Simpson jumping into the offensive play opportunistically. I think this is dead-on. The lines looked really powerful on Sat night. Zane has fast reflexes and plays with confidence. I think he is the man at this point. points 8&9 are, in my opinion critical come March and April. Regarding # 8,I think the calculated risk/reward is heavily in the Sioux's favor when our top line is out and probably the Rowney line (depending on the opposition's line). When as a defensive clearing tactic the opponent rings the puck around the boards during a fore-checking puck battle, I think our blue liner should attack the puck and meet the opposition at the puck instead of dropping to center ice in a defensive poise. It seems to me that as long as we get a body to the puck to disrupt the defender we end up with possession within two passes. ie attack, attack, attack! Top to bottom, we have the skill to win this game. I also want to throw out some love to #8, Senkbeil, A couple of times Sat night this guy was a machine. Tenacious, relentless puck pursuit. He played a very impressive game. Rodwell also look very impressive. If they continue to play like they did we are all going to be very entertained over the next two+ months. Finally my hat is off to Rowney and Rocco, both of these guys added some very nice poise to their impressive skill set on Sat. Well paced passes in deep is a critical ingredient to becoming a championship team and they both seemed to show some calm around the net that led to great scoring opportunities. I Think this is the #10 on that list. Play with great poise around the goal. Be deliberate and pace your moves and passes appropriately to make it work. 450mph passes and spastic shots that miss open nets are not the ticket and these guys are better than that as they showed this weekend. Well done!! Quote

runaroundsioux Posted February 3, 2013 Posted February 3, 2013 Sounds like everybody's back on the bandwagon! Good! Quote
choyt3 Posted February 3, 2013 Posted February 3, 2013 Here are the goals and the Jefferson Dahl dive after Jimmer popped him. [click to view] Thought it was comical that Dahl wasn't prepared for the blowback after he tried to play tough guy and give Jim a shot after the whistle. A whistle that should not have been blown, btw. Quote

yababy8 Posted February 3, 2013 Posted February 3, 2013 Did a badger get tossed on the ice? If so did anyone put it you tube? Quote
talksalot83 Posted February 3, 2013 Posted February 3, 2013 Did a badger get tossed on the ice? If so did anyone put it you tube? Midco didn't show it on the ice. There's a photo in this thread. If there's video of it, it would be from a fan at the game last night. Quote

A whistle that should not have been blown, btw. Or maybe Jimmers has a sledgehammer in his hockey glove. Newberry and Ethier must sucked back the bile in the back of their throats watching a badger dive on a punch. Those guys were tough. Dahl wearing the same jersey is an insult to those guys. Quote

watchmaker49 Posted February 4, 2013 Posted February 4, 2013 Nevermind the locker room, how about if you are so injured that you writhe around the ice in agony for 45 seconds after a hit that results in a penalty, you aren't allowed to immediately hop back on the ice for the ensuing power play? Almost to hard to keep track of but it would be the right thing. I was just thinking that if someone is SOOOO hurt they should have to be checked out and that should stop it. Quote
yzerman19 Posted February 4, 2013 Posted February 4, 2013 Anybody know if the winter classic game next saturday will be televised nationally? Quote

Plus, I was wondering who taught the current Badgers that squirt bottles can be used to start a brawl. Quote
Let'sGoHawks! Posted February 4, 2013 Posted February 4, 2013 I've said it in previous threads, but man, no respect for that group of diving, flopping, spraying female cheerleaders, squirting fans, disrespectful comments during interviews, group of badgers. 1 Quote

Don't forget skating around the ice during the other team's player introductions. This team has done that for years. Quote

sioux24/7 Posted February 4, 2013 Posted February 4, 2013 Don't forget skating around the ice during the other team's player introductions. This team has done that for years. On Friday night I know that once they started announcing our players they all got up to the blue line. Quote
