This was an important weekend to get on track. The bottom line is we are not scoring. I know we ran into another hot goalie but I am tired of hearing that. We need to start thinking about what are we doing wrong and not what the other team is doing to us. The Sioux are tied for 37th in the country in scoring right behind Bentley…OUCH. We need to take advantage of the power play. The Sioux are ranked 34th on the power plays. This is a dismal ranking. With the new “rule calling” in college hockey we need to be able to score on these opportunities. Only four other teams in Division I had more opportunities to score on the power play than the Sioux and let’s not forget we are a pathetic 43rd on the penalty kill. Finally, just to add “salt to the wound,” on combined special teams, we are 55th. We are better than three other teams in all of Division I. Special teams are “killing" us. This must be fixed or it will be a long season.
The next four games are against ECAC teams. The Sioux cannot take Cornell or Harvard lightly or they will be on the losing end.
