.357 Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 13 minutes ago, stoneySIOUX said: I agree with this in general, but the boys on the team understand the community, understand the fanbase, history, etc. It's always spoken, and it's written on the walls. Bubs not yelling at them is not the reason they didn't beat Omaha on Friday. Yes, the team understands the fanbase & community all too well, yet all this understanding isn't pulling them out of a 1+ month funk. And I didn't imply that yelling was the solution, I gave it as an example along with being too soft as two extremes that don't work. If I were a coach, I wouldn't want my assistants being 'yes' men & walking on eggshells around me; I would want honest feedback about what things need improving. And if my assistants are as myopic as me about what ails the team, I would reach out to those who know Sioux hockey & have a lot of hockey experience under their belts (Gino, Blais, Eades, whomever) to determine if they see something that my staff & I are missing. I would try to listen to as many perspectives as possible, pride be damned. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree - although I thought the addition of Karl and Dylan would do wonders to improve our defense and goaltending - and for a while it looked like we had it figured out. This second half swoon is beyond frustrating. And yet even with Karl we are continually relying on the portal for a goalie and had to fire the entire remaining defense last year and rebuild. Watching this team mail it in is unbelievable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SIOUXELEVENS Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 One common denominator is Berry , can he not motivate the troops, I know he is not playing but he puts a game plan together and get all the guys pulling in the same direction and that hasn’t happened much under his watch in the post season for sure. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Langster019 Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 Saying this team mailed it in when, let’s be honest, the three games lost included zero games that actually mattered (minus retaining a 1 seed). They were locked into the tournament when they locked up the Penrose. There’s something to be said for competing (or being complacent) in games that don’t hold much value. Hopefully they flip the switch but we’ll find out Friday night. In a game that really means something. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And from my seat it sure looked like "mailing it in". Edit - and playing Michigan in the first round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously, though, I'll get to at least care about the first seven games, as I'm usually pouting too much after an exit to care about the rest of the tournament. This is me too.

When Michigan tied that game in the third I thought they might be in trouble, but that group just dug deeper. The same thing against DU when they were getting rolled in the third period. The CBS line just wouldn't allow them to lose. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fridays lost cost the team a chance at the nchc tournament championship. It absolutely mattered. If Friday didn’t matter neither than the last month and a half.

Don't forget UND getting a strange, somewhat lucky goal that hopped up over the Michigan goalie's shoulder. AND that goal not getting overturned on what looked like a high stick entering the zone. Sure now that they won everyone says they knew that team was destined but at the time I don't remember it being so certain, especially after 16 years of heartbreak with some damn impressive teams. You need a team playing their best hockey AND some luck. Hence why Michigan, Minnesota, Boston College, Boston University, and Wisconsin haven't won a title in over 12 years(or 26 if you're Michigan). But it's probably just Bubs not yelling at his players enough 2 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The goal by Simonson (and subsequent exhale) is the only memory I have of his four years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
