siouxnami Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 Cags is what Fighting Sioux hockey is all about. Skill,grit,being physical, and teamwork. Loved him as a freshman after his first game and love him more now. I kinda think he was one of those players that hit the wall. Will Poolman's program that doesn't happen to Sophomores.

AZSIOUX Posted October 12, 2013 Author Share Posted October 12, 2013 The VT defender that made the sliding kick to stop Rocco was an amazing play. Rocco is at another level. Agree and agree! Rocco spun him and he made a hell of a kick save The hit Rocco took before the empty netter and pass was big time hockey! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irish Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 One more comment that was mentioned above...with the games now being called tighter, I was hoping to see more carrying of the puck into the O-zone with speed but it was dump and chase again almost all night long. Ok - I understand the dump and chase and the cycle - not looking for a hockey lesson. But can anyone explain why Hak is so enamored with them. It seems like our first option is always dump and chase regardless of team speed or talent. Anyone have any insight into why he loves this style so much?

Anyone have any insight into why he loves this style so much? Because it's "structured". If it isn't "structured", Hak does not like it. When he took over in 2004, the company line was that nothing much would change with regard to style of play. That didn't last long. "Structured" hasn't brought home a single NCAA title during Hak's tenure. Maybe opening it up with some of these guys will help us once March and April roll around?

NewUNDAlum Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 Haven't seen any Tambellini talk thus far. I know he scored but how was his play? Obviously, I don't know if he will be as good as Bjugstad but he has the same body frame. Tall with room to add some more weight. Does he look to have a chance to develop into a real game changer come another year or two? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think tambellini has that type of build. He's built more like Brock was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emerald joker Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 Tambellini-cagguila-rocco Parks-mark mac-johnson Chyzk-st.clair-murphy Rodwell-pattyn-gaarder Simpson-schmaltz Ausmus-ladue Thompson-stecher Look good? Is it just me or does it seem like the last two games there wasn't a lot of dump and chase or am I just blind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laker Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 Simpson-schmaltz Ausmus-ladue Thompson-stecher Like many other users on here, I wasn't very impressed with Mattson last night. However, I have a feeling that Hakstol will want his "experience" in the lineup with all of the young guys on defense (at least at the beginning of the season). That said, I think Ausmus, LaDue, or Thompson will be sitting out instead of Mattson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southpaw Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 I'm fine with the dump and chase and long as we continue to cycle the puck down low. Dump and chase is a chance to get the puck into the corner where our bigger bodies can fight for possession. It takes at least one defender away from the front of the net. During the Blais years, we would cycle the puck for entire shifts at a time and by the third period, the other team didn't want to go into the corner to get the puck. I like that Hakstol gets the pucks into the corners. The cycling last night was incredible at times and payed dividends in the third.
