Godsmack Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 I think we need to manage our expectations at this point. We appear likely to be a .500 team if we're lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yzerman19 Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 The part that bothers me more than losing 4 straight conference games is that we look awful. It is unwatchable. No flow, no puck possession, no speed. The recruits haven't panned out, the pp is terrible...the sky appears to be falling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

burd Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 It's a chemistry issue. Something like that. They have a little bit of a different talent package than Hak is used. to. Before the season started, many were thinking this might be a BC-like team, smaller but quicker with some good hands in the mix. I personally think it is a challenge for Hak to establish a scheme and roles that match the roster. He is not exactlyh a loosey-goosey kind of guy. But there are a lot of people on this site with far more hockey knowledge who will disagree I'm sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scpa0305 Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 I am also scratching my head at the line combos last night. It appears Hak was going after a more balanced approach. I'm curious why he would do that given our struggles to score. I would think, for confidence reasons, he would put our top 6 actually into our top 6. Rocco- Johnson - parks Caggs- markmac- chyzk, or someone to plug here. I'll I'm saying is load up the top 6. Super confused as to why he was rolling 4 last night. Tonight I want to see our top players log huge minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tonight I want to see our top players log huge minutes. Yeah, the line combos had me a bit confused. You need to put Mitch on a line of guys that are muckers, and aren't going to get up and down the ice. He proved last year he couldn't skate with Kristo and Knight. Here's My take: Rodwell-Pattyn-Mitch Mark-Johnson-Parks Rocco-Drake-Chyzyk Murphy-Gaarder-Sanderson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yzerman19 Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 So...our most skilled forward doesn't fit the system... The junior line should really be a Fighting Sioux third line The freshman forwards have done zip We have zero toughness on the blue line. Our best dman is Stecher. Zane is inconsistent at best- Frazee anybody??? looks like a long year... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sioux rube Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 It's a chemistry issue. Hockey is a sport where hard work beats talent when talent doesn't work hard. This teams talent is getting outworked. Pretty simple. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilbur Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 I was going to throw out a comment about Frazee and the bar scene, but Zane's scholarship dollars probably makes that comparison too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SIOUXELEVENS Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 I agree roll three if you have to. Two scoring lines and one checking line( pattyn Rodwell Gaarder) spreading your talent out just makes the lines worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SIOUXELEVENS Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 Maybe Hakstol doesn't know any other way to coach, cycle cycle cycle even if your smaller. Put all three of your forwards below the goal line and see what happens. Hakstol is a one trick pony and that is why he is so easy to beat in the big games, he will not adjust. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siouxweet Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 it just dawned on me as to why they are playing like crap. it's the curse of ralph engelstad and the sioux. think about it, the moment they had to switch jerseys they have played like crap ever since. in the regional in 2012 and all of last year and into this year. thanks ncaa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keikla Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 Yes, Zane gave up a weak goal. But he also earned the respect of a lot of us last night. When Zane lost his helmet, it took the officials FOREVER to blow the whistle. Meanwhile, rather than trying to put his helmet back on, Zane followed the puck and squared himself to make the save. It was quite possible that he could have taken a puck to the face, but he still followed through until the whistle blew. Mad respect for that. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expect that level of compete from a drafted player at an elite program- that's like looking for props for taking care of your children. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
