Who do we throw under the bus?!?


There has been a lot of discussion on who we should throw under the bus for this past weekend’s hiccup on defense… Face it our penalty kill and power play were not as good as they should be this past weekend and the UND Fighting Sioux gave up five goals on eleven Maverick power plays on the penalty kill this weekend, that's unacceptable.

The Fighting Sioux also gave up three shorthanded goals on the weekend which is also not very good and that needs to be fixed. It means the players are not taking care of their first responsibility, defense. Coming into the game the UNO Mavericks had not scored a shorthanded goal all season and they go away smiling by tripling their season total. The fact remains that hockey is a team sport and the blame should be squarely on "the Fighting Sioux Hockey Team and coaching staff" not on one player or two. I took the liberty of counting how many goals against each player had this past weekend. You're going to see some repeat names.
