Four Below Posted December 13, 2007 Posted December 13, 2007 Thanks, PCM! You must have carpal tunnel syndrome after typing all that in. Nice to get Cary Eades' perspective this week. Looking forward to (hoping for!) a dominant second half. As dissatisfied as we all feel right now at least we're in better shape than we were at this time last year! Quote
AZSIOUX Posted December 13, 2007 Posted December 13, 2007 thanks!! eades gives nice in depth answers, fun to read!! Quote
dagies Posted December 13, 2007 Posted December 13, 2007 Wow, Cary talks a bit more than Hak, eh? Thanks PCM! Cary was quite complimentary to the Gopher's effort this past weekend. I'm sure he's still a classless hack to the Gopher fans, though. Based on Cary's comment, I predict Forney plays against UNH. Quote
PCM Posted December 13, 2007 Author Posted December 13, 2007 Wow, Cary talks a bit more than Hak, eh? Actually, I got an important call about the Fighting Nokotas nickname project right before the coaches' show started, so I put my digital recorder next to the radio and recorded the show. I can include a lot more detail when I can pause and then type. It takes longer, but it's nice to be able to expand on comments a bit more than usual. Quote
yzerman19 Posted December 13, 2007 Posted December 13, 2007 Thanks again for relaying the coach's show. We all appreciate it. The evaluating comments make me wonder what they are thinking about changing. Line shuffling is pretty easy to do; i wonder what else they are contemplating? As we hit the halfway point I think it is important to evaluate the team this far. Special teams: Power Play unit 1 gets a "B-", Power Play unit 2 gets an "F" PP taken as a whole C- Penalty Killing has been very good "A-" Goaltending: Noone started out hotter than JPL. He is still playing very well. "A" Defense: In the defensive zone "B+", breaking the puck out "D+", In the offensive zone "B-" Taken as a whole C+ Offense: Transitional hockey "B+", cycling "B-", finishing "C-", forecheck "B", backcheck "B-" Taken as a whole B- Team grades: C-, A-, A, C+, B- cumulative: B- Quote
PCM Posted December 13, 2007 Author Posted December 13, 2007 The NHL has it right. The NCAA, specifically the WCHA, needs to catch up. The NCAA had the right idea. The WCHA tried it a while and has slowly drifted back to where it was. Quote
dagies Posted December 13, 2007 Posted December 13, 2007 The NCAA had the right idea. The WCHA tried it a while and has slowly drifted back to where it was. I suggest that we, as a fanbase, did not encourage them in the right direction. Quote
Sioux_Hab-it Posted December 13, 2007 Posted December 13, 2007 I liked CE's comparison of this team to the 81/82 team, I hope we are still talking about the similarity come mid-April. Quote
Sioux-cia Posted December 13, 2007 Posted December 13, 2007 I suggest that we, as a fanbase, did not encourage them in the right direction. If I recall correctly, the problem with the WCHA 'trying' the NCAA rules was the inconsistency in calling penalities. This resulted in quite an outcry from fans and coaches alike. Quote
squirtcoach Posted December 13, 2007 Posted December 13, 2007 I liked CE's comparison of this team to the 81/82 team, I hope we are still talking about the similarity come mid-April. I was at UND in 81-82. The talk on campus back then was The Sioux were losing Saturdays because of the Friday night parties after the games. Not saying I was at any...... Quote

Goon Posted December 13, 2007 Posted December 13, 2007 The NHL has it right. The NCAA, specifically the WCHA, needs to catch up. Call the rules as written. The NHL is more watchable right now than college hockey... Quote

This resulted in quite an outcry from fans and coaches alike. Maybe, but my recollection is a lot of screaming about all the penalties, and no flow to the game, etc. The way I remember it the fans weren't willing to be patient enough for the coaches and players to finally adapt.
