Sioux coaches show.

Here is the link to the Sioux coaches show. For the people with iPods here is the link for itunes.

Hockey is the first part of the coaches show with Dave Hakstol.

~Coach Hakstol discusses this past weekend's series with Cornell.

~Discussed the goal that was waved off. Coach Hakstol basically side stepped whether the refs made the wrong call or not. (Hak let me help you out, the refs blew it).

~Saturday nights loss was not a step back.

~Joe Finley's physical play is missed at the blue line. Fighting Sioux also miss Finley's pressence and performance level.

~On the officiating; Haks is worried the refs are backing off the standards a little bit at times. If the league is going to do this we need to do this all the way through, and set the standard and hold the bar. The guys are adjusting to the new rules.

Avery Fire storm.

Wow Sean Avery really has started a firestorm with his stupid comments about Flames star Dion Phaneuf. It's like a train wreck you want to see what is going to happen next. I wonder if any teams will be interested in picking him up?
(The comments that got him in trouble) "I'm really happy to be back in Calgary. I love Canada," the Stars forward said. "I just want to comment on how it's become like a common thing in the NHL for guys to fall in love with my sloppy seconds.

~Avery's crude comments puts his relationship with Dallas Stars on the rocks.

~Top Shelf: Avery’s act finally played out.

~Avery outrage is bass ackwards.

~Isolated incident? No, Avery's career has been defined by indiscretions.
Sources told ESPN.com on Tuesday that, a month ago, when the Stars were involved in an ugly loss in Boston, Avery was involved in an ugly incident with a Bruins fan. According to the source, Avery was being heckled by the fan, and as he exited the ice, he stopped and yelled up a string of obscenities at the fan, including comments directed at the fan's female companion. The profane exchange was heard by many in attendance, including a police officer, and prompted complaints to the league. A report was filed to the NHL, but Avery avoided suspension.

~Wild tough guy Derek Boogaard said the league should let Dion Phaneuf hand out the punishment.

~MCKENZIE: Avery's Future with Stars in doubt. (Heads up from illegal curve)

More on Air Force.

Chris Dilks from western college hockey wrote on the Air Force rankings and their strength of schedule. Or should we say lack of a strength of schedule. I have also heard you can't fault Air Force because they are playing the schedule they were given, however, Air Force was in a better conference before they decided to moved to move to the AHA.
Dilks on Air Force: Who is going to be taking them lightly? The biggest game on the rest of Air Force's schedule is a potential match-up with KRACH #31 Merrimack, the second worst team in Hockey East. Over half of their remaining games are against the 7 worst teams in the country. I'm pretty sure Connecticut isn't overlooking anyone.

And herein lies the problem. Air Force's strength of schedule is rated 46th best in the country, and presumably, that's as high as it is going to get, once the CC/DU games get more diluted by the rest of the Atlantic Hockey league schedule.
------snip------
As a result, Air Force may end up doing the impossible: getting people to care about the Atlantic Hockey tournament. Air Force may be dominant over their league, but winning two single elimination games against anybody is a risky proposition. That means we'll likely be a couple weird bounces away from two Atlantic Hockey teams playing in the NCAA tournament. Air Force is a great story, but personally, I'd rather see a more battle-tested mid-pack WCHA or CCHA team make the tournament than a team that played two decent teams all year.

More on Avery.

Calgary Herald Picture
After the latest outburst by Sean Avery you wonder if Avery will be able to last the whole season in Dallas, or will he be shown the door? While Avery is a good hockey player, its incidents like this that make me come to the conclusion that Sean Avery is a world class jerk. Why the heck would he need to say something like this? Yet we will still watch because you know there could be a Avery train wreck right around the corner.

Didn't Avery know that he was going to get burned by making these types of statements? Now the jerk has been suspended indefinitely pending a hearing with the league commissioner Colin Campbell. You can bet he is going to get an unpaid vacation for this latest gaff.

You have to wonder why Avery would make such an objectionable statement? If didn't think Avery was a jerk before this incident you probably going to think it now. Heck, if you want to get under Dion Phaneu's skin go out and check him or challenge him to a fight, I am sure he won't back down from you.

After reading further into this story I realized that Elisha Cuthbert was the woman that played Kimberly Bauer in the first couple of seasons of the Fox television series "24".
CALGARY -"Uh, I'm really happy to be back in Calgary. I love Canada.

"And I just want to comment on how it's become like a common thing in the NHL for guys to fall in love with my sloppy seconds. I don't know what that's about.

"Enjoy the game tonight."

The jab, of course, is directed at Calgary Flames defenceman Dion Phaneuf, who is dating Avery's ex-girlfriend, Elisha Cuthbert. The actress, reportedly, also dated Mike Komisarek of the Montreal Canadiens.

Linkorama.

~So far this season the Air Force Falcons have trailed in only two of their 14 games. Are we to be impressed with that stat based who they have played this season?

~After starting out the season slow UNH star James van Riemsdyk is on a seven-game scoring streak. You wonder if the Flyers will come calling after the season is over?

~According to Greg Wyshynski of Puck Daddy the first KHL's all-star game will be played outdoors in Moscow's Red Square.

~Hero one day, sitting in the press box the next. Wild Forward Cal Clutterbuck was a hero last week after scoring two goals in a game ended up being a healthy scratch after Wild coach Jacques Lemaire thought Clutterbuck was acting complacent.

~Jacques Lemaire says the Wild lack focus. Also the Wild known for being a strong team at home went 2-4 in their last 6 games at the Xcel Energy Center.

~Former Sioux star T.J. Oshie is going to make the road trip with the Blues. Oshie will not play against the Wild tomorow night, but he is listed as day to day.

~Dallas Punk Sean Avery has been suspended by the league for his "sloppy seconds" comment this morning at the skate. Sean Avery had made waves by calling Jarome Iginla boring. I was always told if you can't say anthing nice don't say anything at all.

More Air Force fodder.

Here is an article by Jim Connelly that is kind funny because the writer claims the Falcons aren't getting enough love in the national polls. My question to him is where do want them be ranked? Do you think the Falcons are better than Notre Dame, Minnesota, BC, BU, Northeastern or Miami?

Let’s not let emotions dictate what reality is. Lets face facts and be frank the Atlantic Hockey Association outside of Air Force is a complete and utter joke. They should just call it the bakery league because it is stuffed full of cream puffs and cupcakes. Lets review the league: Air Force 13-1-0 (SOS 46), Bentley 5-5-1 (SOS 47), Mercyhurst 5-8-1 (SOS49), Canisius 6-5-3 (SOS 51), UConn 4-9-0 (SOS 52), Holy Cross 4-9-1 (SOS 53), Sacred Heart 3-9-2 (SOS 54), American International 4-9-0 (SOS 55), RIT 5-8-1 (SOS 57), Army 3-8-1(SOS 58). No one in the AHA has a strength of schedule above 47. That is a weak league.

Looking at the Atlantic Hockey Association their league is not impressive, three out of ten teams have a .500 record the rest of their league has losing records. The AHA inter-conference record against the big four conferences is an unimpressive and weak 8-27-2.

When today’s poll came out, the Falcons were ranked 10th, one spot higher than last week. My argument is that Air Force, in knocking off No. 3 Colorado College in CONVINCING fashion, deserved a better fate. Some will say that Air Force lost a night later, but that shouldn’t impact the position that much. Every team in front of Air Force has losses, most team more than two and some teams have four or five losses.

The fact that Air Force is being held back because it is a member of Atlantic Hockey should be a crushed argument after this past weekend. Other Atlantic Hockey members were dominant and, in fact, the league posted a 5-3-1 record out of conference on the week. Mercyhurst won the RPI tournament by beating the host, RPI, and the No. 7 team in the country. Cansisius took three of four points from Clarkson, a pre-season top 20. Connecticut manhandled Brown. The only non-league losses of the week by Atlantic Hockey members were by RIT, which admittedly got manhandled by UMass-Lowell, Holy Cross, which lost a heartbreaker to former No. 1 Boston University, and the aforementioned loss of Air Force.

Just for the record; Brown is a horrible team 0-6-2 (SOS 50) so I wouldn't be bragging abot Connecticut manhandling Brown. It would be interesting to see the game film on that prolific matchup, if a person was having trouble sleeping they wouldn't need tylenol pm to sleep all they would have to do is turn on the UConn and Brown match up.

Goon goes Five Hole.

Here is the latest column I wrote for Sean Leahy's Going Five Hole

Weekend matchups

The Boston College Eagles play a home and home series with Boston University Terriers this weekend. On Friday night Boston College travels across town to play Boston University at Agganis Arena. On Saturday night the Boston University Terriers make the trip across town to play the Boston College Eagles at the Conte Forum. During the last four games Boston University is 2-2-0 while Boston College has gone 3-1-0. Two weekends ago Boston University was swept by Vermont University.

Boston University is led up front by sophomore Colin Wilson 7-13-20, Senior Chris Higgins 7-8-15 and Sophomore Nick Bonino 5-9-14. Wilson has been hot as of late and has points in five straight games. In goal Boston University is led by sophomore goalie Kieran Millan who is 6-1-0, with a goals against average of 2.01 with a save percentage of .916.

Boston College is led up front by Senior Brock Bradford 13-9-22, sophomore Brian Gibbons 6-12-18, Sophomore Ben Ferriero 2-8-10. In goal Boston College is led by sophomore goalie John Muse who is 9-4-1, with a goals against average of 2.74 and has a save percentage of .900. John Muse has been average this year after having a break out year as a freshman.

Prediction: Boston College wins Friday and tie on Saturday.

Michigan State versus Michigan

Years past this match up probably would have been for first place in the CCHA but Michigan State has been god awful this season. MSU has a record of 0-7-1 in their last 8 games giving up three or more goals in their seven straight losses before finally tying the suddenly cold Golden Gophers (0-2-1 in their last three games) last Saturday night.
Michigan also hasn’t been your typical Michigan team going 9-7-0 on the season and 4-5-0 in November. Last Friday night it had appeared that Michigan had finally righted the ship by pasting Minnesota 6-3 but went out and was shut out the next night by the Wisconsin Badgers 3-0.
Prediction: Michigan State is not playing well right now Michigan sweeps.

Boston Bruins Salary update.

The Bruins blog has the Boston Bruins salaries listed. Check it out, Blake Wheeler makes more than Phil Kessel. (Goals-Assists-Points)

Blake Wheeler, $2.825 million (8-4-12)
Chuck Kobasew, $2.33 million (5-8-13)
Phil Kessel, $2.2 million (13-7-20)

Here is another interesting perspective, former Wild and current Bruins back up goalie Manny Fernandez is making more money than Bruins starting goalie Tim Thomas.

Goalies
Manny Fernandez, $4.33 million (7-1-1 .918 2.32)
Tim Thomas, $1.1 million (9-3-3 .940 1.88)

Milewski nails it.

Badgers hockey beat writer Todd Milewski really hits it on the head with blog post on Air Force. Make no mistake about it, Air Force has a nice team, but this article really hits all the critical points. Statistically Air Force is 13-1-0, but it has beaten up on the weak sisters of the poor, we have laid out their schedule on numerous occasions.

Until last weekend the Falcons hadn't played anyone that was good or even remotely good or ranked in the top twenty. When the Falcons finally played two ranked teams this past weekend they went 1-1. Yet some want to fawn all over Air Force like they were world beaters. Personally, I am not convinced that Air Force beating C.C. was that big of a deal as well because the Tigers have struggled early this season on Fridays. When Air Force makes the NCAA tourney and wins an NCAA tourney game or two then I will be impressed. Until then I am not drinking the Air Force Kool-Aide.
But we’ve seen that mostly against a collection of teams that won’t come close to sniffing the teams under consideration criteria. My guess — the best that I’m able to offer — is that they wouldn’t be 13-1 if their schedule had a few more games against Miami, Notre Dame, Michigan, Boston College, Boston University, Minnesota and the like.

The Falcons have, for the most part, hammered their Atlantic Hockey foes. A good team should.

Atlantic Hockey has the worst record against the other five conferences. It’s 2-2 against the CHA, 5-8-1 against the ECACHL, 2-9 against the CCHA, 1-5 against the WCHA and 0-5-1 against Hockey East for a 10-29-2 non-conference record.

Maybe it’s unfair for Air Force to pay for the rest of the league’s shortcomings. But in the world of subjective rankings, that’s one of the factors.

Time to end fighting in the NHL? (not)

I saw this article last night over on the illegal curve. Larry Brooks from the New York Post is calling for the NHL to ban Fighting. The NHL will not and should not ban fighting. Seriously folks! Fighting in the NHL is a great marketing tool, but also a way to curb gratuitous violence on the ice. The NHL needs guys like Derek Boogaard because he keeps people honest, if not there will be chaos.

If you take fighting out of the game there is no deterrent to the leagues gutless agitators that hide behind half shields will run around without consequences taking liberties with the leagues star players. If Mr Brooks doesn't like fighting in hockey he should cover a different sport.
Two seasons ago, in the aftermath of the fight in which Orr broke Todd Fedoruk's face with a devastating punch, NHL VP Colin Campbell suggested the time had come for the league to at least investigate the possibility of eliminating fighting from the game.

Campbell was ahead of his time. For the time has come today for the NHL not only to investigate the possibility, the time has come for the NHL to abolish fighting. It's simply too dangerous.

Watching heavyweight fights such as the one in Tampa on Wednesday between the RangersNew York Rangers ' Orr and Lightning's David Koci has become the equivalent to viewing the aftermath of automobile accidents on the Interstate. They're impossible to look at without becoming queasy.

Wild say they aren't anti American.

Michale Russo from the Red Star and Sickle has an interesting story about why the Wild don't draft more American college hockey players. It think it is a good question and personally I would love to see more players with college hockey experience play for the Wild. Teams like the Devils and Bruins seem to be doing well using American born and or college hockey players. The Wild have one player on the current roster from the USA Erik Reitz and he played junior hockey in the OHL.

Meanwhile down on the farm the Wild's farm club the Houston Areos have a good number of former college hockey, however, many of these players don't have much of a chance of playing with the Wild.
Sunday Insider: Wild not anti-American
The fan was tired of, in part, "seeing box scores with names like Wheeler, Kessel, Parise, Ballard, Goligoski, Vanek, etc, all playing well and we have the Wild, whose GM ignores college players and Minnesotans."

I get a few e-mails a week from Minnesotans with the same frustrations, one recently noting "the leading scorers on a bunch of NHL teams have Minnesota ties (Vanek, Parise, Ballard, Kessel, Wheeler) or at least are U.S.-born (Kane, Gomez, Dubinsky)."

The reader made an interesting point, writing, "I'd just like little 'Jimmy from Eagan' to have someone to look up to."

As a point of fact, I wrote back that Thomas Vanek was taken fifth and New Jersey's Zach Parise 17th in 2003; the Wild picked 20th. Keith Ballard went 11th in 2002; the Wild chose Pierre-Marc Bouchard eighth (debate it if you want, but Bouchard was coming off a 140-point season in the Q). Phil Kessel went fifth in 2006; the Wild chose ninth. Blake Wheeler went fifth in 2004; the Wild chose 12th, and took a Minnesotan

This is funny.

I found this over on Hockey Buzz and it is funny. Julie Robenhymer says the Badgers are a bunch of goons.

Who is "1"?

Who the hech is going to be the number one team this week?
Any clue?

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.
