UAA 3 Sioux 2.

First off I am sick and tired of this Walksi experiment. Coach Hakstol can tell us all he wants that Walski is a potential starter, but I am not buying it, the results don't lie, Walksi is a mediocre goalie at BEST. We can keep coming back with him but Walski is not going to be the man in the Fighting Sioux goal. The Sioux have the best chance of winning when Brad Eidsness. If the coaching staff is compelled to start someone other than Brad Eidsness in net, why not give Grahme Harrington a chance? This kid can't be any worse than Walksi, if he is why is he here? Lets see what he can do. Walski has had 3 1/2 years to prove himself. It's time for a new generation.

Let's be frank, Aaron Walski is a nice story, The kid is from Fargo, ND playing for the home town Fighting Sioux, but he isn't half the goalie Jean-Philippe Lamoureux was/is. Right now I am checking to see if we can have a mulligan on this game. This is disgustiong. Walski is a third string practice goalie and there is a reason he is a walk on.

Lacking in effort.

The Sioux put up a sub par effort for 58 minutes then decided to put up a fight and make it interesting in the final two minutes of the game, that is unacceptable. Losing to the UAA Seawolves is troublesome and UACCEPTABLE. The leadership on this team can not allow the Sioux to lose games like this.

I am sure I am not the only fan that is sick and tired of watching the Fighting Sioux stumble through the first half of the last 4 seasons, only to kick it in and drive towards the playoffs. True to form the Sioux are sucking air again early.

It is pretty obvious that UND has a lot of talent and is quick talented team up front. Talent can't win you games if they aren't giving 100 percent. Can someone please step up and play 60 minutes of hockey?

In conclusion: I know my analysis of the game might seem harsh to some but I hate it when people don't give 100%, losing sucks ass. Playing hockey for the Fighting Sioux is a privilege not a birth right, wearing the Fighting Sioux uniform is honor. Personaly, I hate losing a pick up game of goal, let alone watching my favorite team game like this. This is UNACCEPTABLE.

Cheap shots on top players should be responded to, Hunts charge on Gregoire at the end of the game was cheap and a bush league move. I would like to see one of our guys collect on that bush league hit tomorrow. Make it know if you hit one our skilled players you're going to pay for it.
