Bleed Green Posted February 9, 2006 Posted February 9, 2006 Again you come through in the clutch when I missed this evenings show . . . thanks for the re-cap! Quote
Supertrex Posted February 9, 2006 Posted February 9, 2006 Excellent summary. Thanks for your hard work. Quote
dagies Posted February 9, 2006 Posted February 9, 2006 I continue to be impressed with Hakstol from reading the coaches show. I thought tonite's show was very informative. Tell me this is not a leader: TH: It means a lot more when players on the other teams tell you what effect Smaby has on their games. The fans don Quote
Sioux-cia Posted February 9, 2006 Posted February 9, 2006 ........ TH: Both Smaby and Mike Prpich have injuries. A week off might not make them 100 percent, but it should help. ....... TH: Matt Jones, when he hit guys, they Quote
SiouxTupa Posted February 9, 2006 Posted February 9, 2006 Great job once again, but you left out the part where TH said something along the lines of "...and maybe this is the anti-Minnesota attitude coming out of me, but I just don't think they're at that level." I think MN is playing with more confidence right now than any team in the league (aside from SC...lol). We'll see if they "blow a gasket". All it takes is for one team to say "we're not gonna lay down!" and then prove it. Quote
PCM Posted February 9, 2006 Author Posted February 9, 2006 Great job once again, but you left out the part where TH said something along the lines of "...and maybe this is the anti-Minnesota attitude coming out of me, but I just don't think they're at that level." It's not a verbatim transcript. If I feel a comment doesn't really add anything to the discussion, I don't include it. Quote
Goon Posted February 9, 2006 Posted February 9, 2006 Speaking of Zach Jones, I saw him almost snap in Bemidji in the second period as mentioned earlier. Someon speared or sticked Jones and he went nuts. The kid has some fire and I like what I have seen this season from him. I think he might be better than his brother or at least in his freshman years seems more stead on the ice than Matt did. Both will be good players in the NHL some day I think. Quote
redwing77 Posted February 9, 2006 Posted February 9, 2006 It's not a verbatim transcript. If I feel a comment doesn't really add anything to the discussion, I don't include it. And that's what I like the best about HOW PCM does the write up. If he did it verbatim we would have had to endure some stuff like Swygman's comments on how to properly state MSUM and when you can and cannot call them "Mankato." PCM cuts out the wasted airtime and I appreciate it. ------- And I love the comments on Smaby. I do think there aren't that many players in the NCAA as a whole who can open-ice check nearly as well as Smaby can. He's a lot of fun to watch at our own blue line. As for Zach Jones, I agree he's been really solid defensively but I'm not so sure I like all the emotion. I'm not saying emotional playing is bad, per se, but it can end up costing the Sioux. If emotional play, for any player, results in penalty minutes, then it's not a positive. I don't know whether he'll be better or worse than his older brother nor do I know what his future is (if he is to make the NHL he will either have to be an undrafted free agent signing or get drafted this year as an overager in the draft like Brian Salcido of CC was last year). We just need to win right now. That's all it comes down to now. I like the fact that Hakstol wasn't concerned about how other teams were playing as much as TH was. Business is at the New REA, not in St. Cloud or Minneapolis. Not yet anyways. Quote
siouxnami Posted February 9, 2006 Posted February 9, 2006 Hank? Please explain. Is this something only old people know? Quote
siouxtatoo42 Posted February 9, 2006 Posted February 9, 2006 Hank? Please explain. Is this something only old people know? i'm gonna take a stab at it and go with "hammerin hank" could be wrong, just a guess Quote
PCM Posted February 9, 2006 Author Posted February 9, 2006 Hank? Please explain. Is this something only old people know? Well, I don't know the answer, so there goes that theory. I was hoping that someone with insider knowledge would explain it to me. Quote
redwing77 Posted February 9, 2006 Posted February 9, 2006 Well, I don't know the answer, so there goes that theory. I was hoping that someone with insider knowledge would explain it to me. I thought you were the one with all the inside knowledge! Quote
SiouxTupa Posted February 9, 2006 Posted February 9, 2006 It's not a verbatim transcript. If I feel a comment doesn't really add anything to the discussion, I don't include it. I was being at least half-facetious.... you really do a great job! I just figured I'd throw that in, because it does show TH's bitter bias against UMN. Quote
PCM Posted February 9, 2006 Author Posted February 9, 2006 I just figured I'd throw that in, because it does show TH's bitter bias against UMN. True. But I don't like tossing out Skippy bait if I don't have to. Quote
dagies Posted February 9, 2006 Posted February 9, 2006 Well, I don't know the answer, so there goes that theory. I was hoping that someone with insider knowledge would explain it to me. I think I heard Hennessey reference this on a recent broadcast, but wasn't sure if I understood the reference. Quote
