The weekend was ugly to watch, but a sweep is a sweep and I like our team this year. They're still not playing with enough desparation though. I think it's needed to overcome an off game in the tourney against a good team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not on the ledge - just saying that after that fiasco in Denver, I had hoped for this team to look more like they did the first half of the year. In my opinion they have some work to do to get ready for the tournaments. I like our team too this year, but we are not playing at our best lately. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post jk Posted February 22, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted February 22, 2016 It's clear that right now SCSU is playing extremely well. They're just pouring pucks into the net. Really only Denver seems about as hot and able to challenge them as the best team in the west. It remains to be seen whether any western team can compete with the best from the east, but that'll be seen soon enough. My point here is that the season is long, teams go through stretches where things seem off, and poor results sometimes follow. We can all trot out examples from title years, but this one has stuck with me over the years. On February 4th and 5th of 2000, the Sioux went to St. Cloud and scored zero goals in the first 119:46 of the series, losing 3-0 on Friday and only scoring the tying goal in Saturday's 1-1 tie with 13 seconds left in the third period with six attackers on the ice. Listening to the games, you would think they'd never score again. Sometimes you can't get the puck across the line no matter what, and sometimes it's a piece of cake, like it was for the CBS line earlier and for SCSU and Denver right now. But the UND team that was filling the net earlier this year didn't just forget how to do it. It's still there, and we'll see it again. It's a different era and especially a different league, but that 2000 UND team did score 77 goals in its remaining 16 games after the trip to St. Cloud. Mainly because the defense is so smooth with the puck and the forwards have a nice mix of grit and skill, I think we'll see a fair bit of offense from this team yet this year. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw that same team get swept in Madison 3 weeks earlier. They could score against UW but didn't have tight enough defense. UW had some horses (Heatley Reinprecht), but the Sioux showed a better defense when March/April came along. And a little puck luck, frankly.

Chyzk centering Gersich and Pogo 3. Rhett centering JJ and LJ 4. Simonson centering Sanderson and Olson Gage and Stecher Poolman and LaDue Wolanin and Shaw I don't think Chyzyk will be at center, he's a left winger. If everyone is healthy, maybe Caggiula - Schmaltz - Boeser Chyzyk - Johnson - Poganski Gersich - Simonson - Wilkie Sanderson - Gardner - St Clair What kind of injury does Chyzyk and St Clair have?

Minnesota in St. Paul is still a strong possibility. I'm both excited and nervous about that prospect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
