One game at a time. We are good enough to win one game against anyone in the country on any single night. What makes me nervous is the team tends to struggle more in the first game against teams, then adjusts well the second night. Once you hit the tournament you don't get multiple games to make adjustments, so they better come out on first right away. Quote

I hoow not. Olson is a banger and has 3 goals. Simo can win face offs and has a goose eggs for goals. I'd stick with Olson. He belongs in our line up. We are harder to play against with him in it. Fact. Quote

Simonson was the player specifically mentioned by Hak as the player who has earned being in the line-up, they just haven't found the spot to get him in. It could change this week, but that was how it stood last week. Quote

jk Posted February 17, 2015 Posted February 17, 2015 Maybe the immediate post-mono Olsen is not the same as the one we grew accustomed to. Quote

AZSIOUX Posted February 17, 2015 Author Posted February 17, 2015 If Olson doesn't get mono he probably never sits. Poolman probaby doesnt make the permanent move then and two of those d men are platooning nightly more than likey until playoff time. Since they have been winning that makes it even harder to make any moves imo. Simo and Olson can play tough nosed and will play many games at UND. Olson has a MALONE game in the making! The 6 D probably won't change if at all but I wouldn't mind seeing more poolman on point on PP. He can release that bomb of a shot! Go Sioux sweep western!! Ideal poolman back to D and Olson in. Then it's pick a d man to sit out of a few guys Quote

Only point being, usually it is tougher to replace a dman than a bottom 6 forward On Area Voices Schlossman said he is a defenseman turned forward. Quote
Tsiouxnami Posted February 17, 2015 Posted February 17, 2015 Will Caggiula be playing this weekend? Was in Green Mill after Saturday night's game and he came in on crutches..... Quote

stoneySIOUX Posted February 18, 2015 Posted February 18, 2015 Alright, I'm bored... So, who has the biggest weekend? Who breaks out and starts a big stretch run? I think the answer is N. Schmaltz for both. Playing a big, not overly fast team, if Nick can find some space .... giddy up. I'll say a 3 goal, 2 assist weekend. Quote
Feff Posted February 18, 2015 Posted February 18, 2015 The assists I can see, the goals I don't. He has to take a shot to score a goal.... Quote

The kid loves to pass. But, the coaches are obviously getting this in his head that he needs to shoot. Lately he's done a lot better job of getting to the net using his speed and skill. My point is, since he's playing a slower (not slow, but slower than UND) team, he'll have a bit more space to drive the net. I think he pots a few this weekend. Confidence is huge for a kid like Schmaltz. If he gets one on a big shot, he'll shoot more and naturally, score more. Quote

He can get that toe drag wrist shot off really quick, like Kristo-esque in his senior year. I saw him do it a few times in World Juniors. The toe drag he made around the DU player that lead to the 3rd goal Friday night was unreal, I had to watch the replay at least 10 times to believe it. Quote
jk Posted February 18, 2015 Posted February 18, 2015 I think there'll be less room this weekend than most, with goals more likely to result from point shots through traffic and rebounds. Quote

Exactly. That's why I think he could have a lot of success against a team like WMU. Quote
