farce poobah Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 The "General" Tire line. They run over you. They love bumps. They are good under pressure. And they never come out flat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snake Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Shouldn't they be together for more than a weekend before we start thinking of nicknames? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geaux_sioux Posted February 3, 2013 Author Share Posted February 3, 2013 Shouldn't they be together for more than a weekend before we start thinking of nicknames? From what I saw last night they've earned it. They set one hell of a standard for their level of play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tnt Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 From what I saw last night they've earned it. They set one hell of a standard for their level of play. We've said it before that if they don't play the grinding, hard to play against game, you might as well put people in the lineup like O'Donnell, Chyzyk, and Gaarder because they have a better offensive upside. The fact that it stood out last night tells me that they haven't been as adept at fulfilling that role as they need to be on a consistent basis. Hopefully this was a precursor for things to come.

geaux_sioux Posted February 3, 2013 Author Share Posted February 3, 2013 Last night looked line a turning point to me. The team was buzzing for almost the entire game. Even with finishing issues we pounded Wisconsin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big A HG Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 I'm confused, does a nickname mean they are better or something? How does one "deserve" a nickname? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geaux_sioux Posted February 3, 2013 Author Share Posted February 3, 2013 I'm confused, does a nickname mean they are better or something? How does one "deserve" a nickname? They absolutely kicked ass last night and were the reason Wisconsin lost focus on winning and started taking stupid penalties. They also cycled the puck Porter style and finished every check and then some all night. Everyone was questioning the toughness of this team and last night they played with major grit which is infectious. They could be a reason this team goes far.

But why do they need/deserve a nickname? Why can't they just be themselves and kick some tail? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
