JLP157 Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 This is really getting old.... Every week we watch the opposing goaltender(and goalposts) stand on his head and keep his team in it. And lately we haven't been seeing JPL doing the same. He should have easily saved the first two goals. Just because he didn't get any work in the second period is no excuse... And these third period defensive breakdowns are just killing us!! .... Shaky defense and suspect goaltending = No trip to Denver. They better get it together soon.... like tomorrow....

Let'sGoHawks! Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 Maybe the Sioux need to get swept to hit that low that turns thing around. Something needs to happen to fire these guys up. A good kick in the jewels. Maybe a fight, something! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

7>4 Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 Lot's of games left. Hak will have them firing on all cylinders when it counts! I agree with da Taz. I'm not worried at all. I think with all the pressure of pre-season expectations, the Sioux are clutching their sticks a little tight right now. They just need to have some fun. Hell, it's only a game.

And these third period defensive As much as I'm inclined to blame the defense, this is right on. But for JP, those 2 goals would not have not have gone in.

Brasco Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 The defense was poor in the 3rd period again. But I think a lot of this has to be on the coaching staff. Maybe not tonight directly but for the past 4 seasons they have created a culture where we don't dominate every game we can we simply play hard and falsely believe we will magically turn it on when it counts. Loosing more than we should every season (first half especially) and still making the frozen four has been lucky and should not be considered a recipe for success. After all we haven't won it all since 2000. So maybe the turn it on when it counts approach is not as effective as the play smart, play hard all season approach.

Sioux Hockey Fanatic Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 SCSU had 0 shots on goal in the second period. They only had 10 in the 3rd and scored on three of them! Not good, I'm ready to see what Walski can do. Chorney just doesn't look like the same player as he was last year and that's not a compliment. Disappointing loss.

AZSIOUX Posted January 5, 2008 Author Share Posted January 5, 2008 You can throw in lack of offensive fire power as well for sure overall but to blow two, 3rd period 2 goal leads like we did just flat out sucks big time. lets get the split Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stack Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 As much as I'm inclined to blame the defense, this is right on. But for JP, those 2 goals would not have not have gone in. I don't agree. The first goal was all Chorney. Lasch comes in the zone, Chorney looks up, no one trailing, all he has to do is body Lasch like all defensemen are taught to do and he never lays a hand on him until he scores. Weak goal for Lammy? yeah but if Chorney plays the body likes he's supposed to there is not a shot on goal. Now the second goal was not all Marto. The forward coming out of the zone coughs it up while still in the zone. Marto tried to take it back out on his own (his mistake) and coughs it up. They score. So my take is it's not Lammy. My big problem is why the Heck do our defensemen think they are forwards? You have to pick your moments as defensemen to jump into the play but for some reason our defensemen jump in constantly. Don't they realize their position is defense. How many times do I need to see Genoway, Bina, Chorney, LaPointe, and even big old Finley deep in the zone and then nothing to show for it. Hey that's fine but when we give up lots of odd man rushes because of it, IT SUCKS! Play your position and take the man. That's called playing defense in hockey@!#$ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siouxmama Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 Let's get those guys with the C and A's on their chest to stand up in the locker room and spit some fire and have their eyes glow. Something has to get the team jump-started. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big A HG Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 Didn't get to watch any of the game, so I can't say much about tonight specifically. But, we should be scoring WAY more goals. We were scoring a lot better early in the year, but we rarely score 4, and 5 seems impossible right now. The fact that our defense isn't playing like it should really doesn't help the cause in any way. The GFers here need to take their Marto-tinted glasses off. Defensively he adds nothing to the team. They should move him to forward. Same with Chorney. He's been playing WAY too offensively this year and then gets burned on the transition after he coughs it up. Maybe if they want to play forward they should actually play forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brasco Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 Chorney just doesn't look like the same player as he was last year and that's not a compliment. Disappointing loss. I think it is time to sit Chorney. Forget JPL he has played OK, not great but descent. I remember when no one on the team was above getting the night off...I even remember when Jason Blake was not dressed and not because of an arrest but simply because he wasn't playing to his ability. Sit Chorney, let him see the game in street clothes and then see what kind of defenseman you get back next weekend! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AZSIOUX Posted January 5, 2008 Author Share Posted January 5, 2008 When do you think that will be? ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, maybe in a month or so, maybe sooner......ill ask hak and get back to ya Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sioux7>5 Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 Did not have time to read all 15 pages, but I thought the Sioux dominated the first 2+ periods, but as soon as the 1st goal went in for SCSU it is like they feel apart. I am sure others have said the same thing. It is just my opinion, but I think it is time to give Lammy the night off and let him refocus. Overall I am disappointed but not too worried. i still think this team has a chance. One last thing, do I hear right that Oshie lost his "A". Can someone fill me in please.

jk Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 Lost in those terrible third period mistakes was a great effort through the first two periods. Actually the same was true in the previous game. I know you have to play 60 minutes, but the team is close to being there. Earlier we lamented when they came out flat, but that hasn't been the problem lately; they had a ton of jump and were around the net a lot. When they are playing that hard, I can't get on them about a result that they hate much more than we do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Whistler Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 One last thing, do I hear right that Oshie lost his "A". Can someone fill me in please. Where did he have it last? Maybe we can help him find it. Seriously wouldn't surprise me. Matt Greene lost the C for a couple games when he got picked up for driving under the influence.

So you are saying that the silver lining in all of this is that we seem to be able to play 5 solid periods of hockey against any opponent out there? I'll give you that much, but it doesn't matter how good the 5 periods are when the 6th period nets you the loss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLP157 Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 for sure overall but to blow two, 3rd period 2 goal leads like we did just flat out sucks big time. lets get the split Maybe I'm overthinking this.....(and correct me if I'm wrong).... but, didn't we lose Friday in our Greens at Tech, Wisconsin, and Denver on the road... and then come back and win Saturday in our Blacks? Not sure what we wore at Northeastern on Saturday..... so it's obvious.......WEAR THE BLACKS EVERY GAME ON THE ROAD!!!!! Oh..... and shore up the defense and goaltending...and get more firepower.... THEN we can all meet in Denver in April! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
