Maybe for this physical series that makes sense...it is now or never time for Wilkie...benching him now essentially sends him packing... I might switch JJ and Brock in your combo...can always double shift or switch as a mid-game adjustment. Quote

I think they would do well to just focus on hard-nosed hockey in a third line assignment. I want to break up lines- even one's that have been working...I hypothesize that some of the success of the Bowen line has been the match-ups they've been given. Problem is in all reality, Pogo and Gardner are the 4th and 5th option for scoring on this team. Need them to step up. Quote

Gerish - Jost - Pogo JJ - Gardner - Boeser Yon - Bowen - Gornall Olson (or Smith) - Hoff - Wilkie We have a good/deep forward group....we should sweep. T. Poolman - C.

I'd throw Pogo on that top line wing again since he can create opportunities and turnovers in the dirty areas for Gersich and Jost. Quote

Absolutely no reason for Smith or Gornall to be out of the lineup until they prove otherwise. 3 Quote

Simo and Olson IMO are out. Still not a fan of Gardner as a 2nd line center though. Wilkie is the blind squirrel...............eventually. Defensively the Poolman's have to stay together. Of the other 4 Peski is the best defensively. Quote

We need his play making ability at a top 4 spot, maybe putting him with T. Poolman will help his confidence. Quote

nodakgirl93 Posted February 16, 2017 Posted February 16, 2017 Hoff is one of our better at taking faceoffs with jost and Gardner. I'd keep him in. Quote
burd Posted February 16, 2017 Posted February 16, 2017 Some very thoughtful posts by the usually erudite and informed Sioux fan base. The standard in the industry. My slightly more emotional take: MY MAN GORNALL v. the whole dam wmu team and anyone else they want to put out there 3 Quote

My slightly more emotional take: MY MAN GORNALL v. the whole dam wmu team and anyone else they want to put out there Think how much more Gornall brings energy wise and production wise than someone like Simonson and with less playing time all year.. You can tell the team loves a guy like Gornall too. I'd take him in the lineup over Simo ANY DAY. He's had about a fourth of the playing time as Simo all year and has more goals than him already..

Fetch Posted February 16, 2017 Posted February 16, 2017 So ur saying Geaux Sioux mislead me into picking Wilke - who can we trust these days Quote
InHeavenThereIsNoBeer Posted February 16, 2017 Posted February 16, 2017 Wait... do we know JJ is for sure good to go this series?? Quote

BroncoHeard Posted February 16, 2017 Posted February 16, 2017 Should be a good series. I think it may come done to WMU and Sioux for the final two home ice spots and this series is key for both teams. My dream is for a ALL NCHC frozen for, but the only way this will happen is for the NCHC to lock up 1-4 pairwise. WMU also recently got back a key forward from a injury earlier in the year, Adain Muir. He is a difference make and changes the line combinations on all four lines. The line of Muir, Rebry and Tiffels is a handful for any d-core to match up with and frees up WMU two scoring lines for Murray to get the right match ups with the last line change I assume Blacker will be in net for both games this weekend series this time, he has also been a real difference maker since returning to the line up.
