Sioux-cia Posted December 10, 2006 Posted December 10, 2006 Well, good night. I'm not waiting for the members after the game comments. I saw the game. Quote
farce poobah Posted December 10, 2006 Posted December 10, 2006 Too many mental mistakes by veteran players who have no excuse. Both last night and tonight. I think the coaches should just bench everyone. Quote

OETKB Posted December 10, 2006 Posted December 10, 2006 I'm soooo pissed after watching this game. This is a game that Hak said "this is not the time to get negative". I disagree. UND is now having a losing season. They got swept at home - again. I believe it is time to shake this team up. They need some kind of butt kicking to get them going up to their potential. Right nowl they are not even close. Quote
Sioux_Hab-it Posted December 10, 2006 Posted December 10, 2006 This year the coaches have many problems on their hands. The last two years it was often difficult to figure out why the team wasn't winning. This year it is easy. No goaltending, defensive breakdowns, untimely penalties and a lack of production from the big guns. It will be interesting to hear how DH tries to put a positive spin on this weekend. Quote
DamStrait Posted December 10, 2006 Posted December 10, 2006 This team ain't got it, at least not when it counts. No heart, no concentration, no defense, no goaltending. Quote
sioux rube Posted December 10, 2006 Posted December 10, 2006 I'm gonna go watch my boy Prp play hockey over in New Mexico. He's having a great rookie year!! How is the guy who had heart unlike these SIOUX doing? Quote
Runninwiththedogs Posted December 10, 2006 Posted December 10, 2006 Um... at least you're not UMD! Sorry guys. Tough loss, sounds like what we've been going through... not sure how to motivate the guys. Quote
farce poobah Posted December 10, 2006 Posted December 10, 2006 Just to clarify, I don't think everyone is making mistakes. Some guys playing very stupid. Some guys working hard and smart. Very frustrating. Quote
Siouxdonyms Posted December 10, 2006 Author Posted December 10, 2006 Hak post-game comments: Can't make the two mistakes in the 3rd. Critical mistake, jumping on the ice for the "Too Many Men." Very poor mental error. The team played very well all the way through, but you can't make one or two mental errors. This loss hurts, to have that kind of mental mistake, to allow them to have a short PP. Very committed throughout the game. Didn't make a lot of mistakes. Made one critical down the stretch. Watkins and Porter worked very harder. Brad Miller brought a lot of offense. Probably creating as much offense as anyone on the team. Thought D was doing a good job; Lammy did a good job; forget a lot of the good things with the way the last 4 1/2 minutes went. Needed this game tonight, bottom line. Didn't get it done. Real shot in the gut. Hard to take. Quote
DamStrait Posted December 10, 2006 Posted December 10, 2006 To give up 4 goals each night to this team, a team that hasn't even heard of the the phrase "offensive pressure" is just flat out embarrassing. This is not Sioux hockey. Quote
Runninwiththedogs Posted December 10, 2006 Posted December 10, 2006 OMG tdogs just lost in OT. ::puts head through brick wall::: Quote
Siouxdonyms Posted December 10, 2006 Author Posted December 10, 2006 Just to clarify, I don't think everyone is making mistakes. Some guys playing very stupid. Some guys working hard and smart. Very frustrating. You're right, I thought Brad Miller really stood out tonight. He played a very good game. Outside of that, I don't think anyone really stands out for tonight, but not everyone is playing terrible hockey. Where they didn't stand out, I don't think Duncan, Oshie, Bina, or most other guys played bad tonight. I thought Hak summed it up well. We played well, but made a few critical mistakes that was the difference. Quote
SiouxScore! Posted December 10, 2006 Posted December 10, 2006 Haven't fallen off the wagon, but man it could be a long second half taking this tending' and defense on the road! Quote
fightingsioux4life Posted December 10, 2006 Posted December 10, 2006 Okay, this is going to be very negative, so get the kids away from the computer screen! It is time to face facts: This team is not that good. They can't hold third period leads, they take stupid penalties (Jones, this means YOU), and their starting goaltender (Lammy) has not played up to his potential this year and has not been consistent enough for my taste. In the good old days of the 1980's and 90's, North Dakota losing at home once on a weekend was big news around the league and country, losing twice at home on a weekend was almost unheard of. Now both happen on a regular freaking basis. In the good old days of the 1980's and 90's, North Dakota was almost unbeatable when holding a lead in the third period. Now all bets are freaking off when we lead in the third period. It would not surprise me if Michigan Tech came in here next weekend and pulled off at least one win. Emphasis on at least. I am pretty sure that the Brad Schlossman Rule will get a workout in Sunday's Heraldo (look at my signature at the bottom if you don't know what I mean), but that is no excuse for what has happened this season. Some of our players have said as much. Every team worth its salt in this league and in the country for that matter has good goaltending or else they wouldn't be good teams. If we are going to invoke the Brad Schlossman Rule everytime we lose a game, we won't win anything. I had better not hear this once from anybody in the media this week (and that includes TH and Pat Sweeney). Based on what I have seen so far this season, we can kiss home ice goodbye, we can kiss the Final Five goodbye and we can forget about going to St. Louis in April. This team is going to lose a crap load of games this season and we had just better get used to it. That meltdown in the Frozen Four last year in the semifinals is feeling more painful with every game we lose. This is going to be a long, cold, dark winter for those of us who bleed green and white. And if the Rodents win their 6th NCAA title in April, it will be an even longer offseason. Especially those of us who live in Rodentia (Minnesota and some adjacent areas). I apologize for the extreme negativity, but after what happened to the football team last Saturday and this weekend, I just can't take much more of this garbage. End rant. I return you to regularly scheduled programming. Quote

I return you to regularly scheduled programming. Many of us who have been watching the Sioux for decades feel the same. Some of the old time teams had a lot more heart, and would never put up with Wisconsin blowing through our goaltender over and over again. A huge fight would have ensued...and then we would have pounded a few through Elliot. Not today. The Sioux in the Ralph remind me of the Sharks in San Jose: da-da-da-da-da-da-da...."Pizza"! Weak crowds that have been "Disney-ified". No real guts to see the team through. No Jeff Panzer on this team. Quote
dagies Posted December 10, 2006 Posted December 10, 2006 I watched last night but was too frustrated to post any opinions about the game, and was too busy today to get on the boards until just now. Looks about like last night all over again. Some good play at times, but overall, letting the game get away in the end. From what I saw last night I'd say this team has average offense, average goaltending, average defense, average penalty kill, and pretty good power play. Though tonite the power play appears to have been average. And last night it seemed to me we lost WAY too many important faceoffs. Where's McMahon when you need him... Maybe this team will turn it around, I don't know, but I'm getting pretty tired of living through the first 1/2 - 3/4 of the season to see if we can make a run. And right now, it's hard to have much hope that can happen. There's plenty of problems, but a lot of them could be fixed with 1-2 extra goals per game. I shouldn't say our offense is average. It's below average. Quote
Sioux-cia Posted December 10, 2006 Posted December 10, 2006 How is the guy who had heart unlike these SIOUX doing? He's been scoring goals, game winning goals, getting into scraps, sitting in the penalty box and smiling that Prp smile of his! His exploits are in the former player thread. Quote
johnsowe Posted December 10, 2006 Posted December 10, 2006 I don't what but this team better find "IT" soon. Quote

Got back from the game. We looked ok in the first and that middle period (I am not calling it the you know what) Lammy did good from what I could tell. The second UW was so friggin Porter's fault. why was he in the crease? Robbie is the only defensemen who seems to show up and Chay looks like he wants to be a forward again, which in my opinion put him back there. All together we need to start playing together, the UAA games should have been our wake-up call, but maybe this weekend will be. I am voting that they do Herbies all week in practice, FINALS WEEK OR NOT. That is all I have right now or I am going to be pissed again. Quote
Sodbuster Posted December 10, 2006 Posted December 10, 2006 For me, it's official.........watching Sioux hockey so far this year is akin to watching Viking football....you just wait for what's going to go wrong......I can't say any more without blowing up......Geeezzzz Quote
Stromer Posted December 10, 2006 Posted December 10, 2006 I'll put this out for anyone watching on TV or listening to the radio. Did they mention anything about the UND students throwing the glowsticks that were handed out as a promotion onto the ice? College's want to give out promotional things but this always happens. I find it funny cause UND had to know it was going to happen yet they still armed all of the fans with projectiles. Anyways the pregame introductions were cool with the ice glowing. Quote
Hale4David Posted December 10, 2006 Posted December 10, 2006 TH did mention this on the radio but he also added that it wasn't just the students who threw them on the ice but I do agree that it was dumb by both parties. Why anyone would throw something on the ice is beyond me...except for a hat. Quote
SiouxFanatic Posted December 10, 2006 Posted December 10, 2006 Can we officially call this a "rebuilding" season? Quote
siouxnami Posted December 10, 2006 Posted December 10, 2006 With the number of periods the Sioux have failed to show up, and the number of stupid mistakes I think so letters need to be changed. Taking periods off is not what UND hockey should be known for. Quote
