Sioux 1 Cornell 2.

I went to Fargo right after the game and Sioux7 hasn't joined the 21st century yet by getting the Internet at his house, so this is the first time I have been on line today. Maybe that is good because I don't need to have a stroke fussing about this hockey team.

What I have a hard time stomaching is this underachieving hockey team that is just short of disgracing the Fighting Sioux uniform. There is no sugar coating it folks, this team sucks and I blame the coaching staff for not having them ready to play the games. The Fighting Sioux look lost, disinterested and unprepared. We have upperclassmen players making fundamental mistakes 12 games into the season. That is from lack of concentration and focus.

Losing to a team from the ECAC is unacceptable. There is no one out there that can score on a consistent pace. The defense hasn't been bad and the goal tending is good enough to win, but the offense can't do anything but play dump and chase. The Sioux had a four goal lead on Friday night and they started trapping, what the hell is that? You're winning the game. Keep moving forward, keep trying to bury the puck, and gain some confidence.

The disallowed goal was a horse shit bleep call, but that isn't the reason the Sioux failed to win the game. They failed to put forth a good enough effort to win the game and let the Big Red set the tone and dictate what type of game the Sioux played. This is also unacceptable in our house.
