Just a few thing that I noticed from last nights game. It seems that Sioux fans have been through this routine before. It is almost like a bad dream or the movie Ground Hog Day. This is Dave Hakstol's fourth season as coach of the Fighting Sioux and for what ever reason the boys just don't go out do what it takes to win early in the season. We get it that championships are won in March and April but it is easier to win them if you win more than you lose in November and December. Last night the goal tending was awesome and the forwards didn't show up.
`First off shoot the puck. The goal doesn't have to be pretty to count. Get the puck on net and then drive to the net. if someone is in your way drive through them.
`Defensemen are supposed play defense and help in the defensive zone, see goalie. Odd man rushes can cause goalie to give up goals. The Fighting Sioux defensemen need to thank their goaile for saving their ass last night. This could have been a 5-0 game.
`What the hell is a obstruction penalty. I hate to keep harping on the officiating but the league needs to start evaluating some of the clown they have calling the games. Mason company was god awful last night.
`Denver's offensive skill is amazing. They will be lucky if they can keep them all in the off season.
