Brady centered his own line in Salmon Arm before coming to UND.
He put up a 42-59-101 line in 59 games and was the BCHL runner-up for both ROY and MVP.
He'll be OK without Zach.

Talking about county names, if the Forum can truncate "Grand" off the name of "Grand Forks" does that mean we can truncate others?
Is Bismarck now in "_urleigh"?
Can we take the "C" off the name of "Cass"?

Back, schmack.
I'd rather look forward.
Here's one just for "Virg Foss is God":

There were six games during the season in which the Sioux held opponents to two or fewer goals, and yet they were 0-4-2. The most important loss of the season was a game in which the Sioux didn't score a single goal!
That reads pretty clearly to me:
"There were six games .... in which .... held opponents to two or fewer ... and were 0-4-2."
The goalies were meeting the Dean Blais formula: Give <25 shots and save 90% (GAA under 2.5).
Where was the offense those nights? Here are UND's scoring lines from those six games:
Genoway from Greene
Bochenski from Jones
McMahon from Fylling and Canady
Fylling from Jones and Greene
Lundbohm from Murray
Parise (U)
(none)
Those games were a case of "Minnesota Wild" effect: great goaltending, no offense to get the win. Are people blaming Roli the goalie for the Wild's problems?
-
Once Albany missed the AHL playoffs I'm guessing Zach not playing was sealed.
-
Yeah, Parise could play for the Albany River Rats next year. That's why NJD gave him a two-way contract. He'll make $80k playing in Albany where he'd make (report claim) $1 MM at NJ.

and although they say DIVISION I - it's the MINOR LEAGUE VERSION!...(i-aa)...kind of like saying we're in the NFL (wait - okay, it's the arena league of Division I - BUT WE'RE STILL DIVISION I....right?? guys??? back me up here?) C'mon...MONTANA TECH is coming to town and we gotta get ready....
The better analogy would be: In the NFL, .... NFL Europe.

I just think Rosemary, excuse me, Basil (I always confuse all those herbs) just has poor reading comprehension skills. I base this on my observation that they apparently do not understand the purpose and usage of quotation marks in a written work of non-fiction.

Woe is UND.
How'd they ever win the toughest league in college hockey with this " ... not one of them is outstanding ... " conference-games goaltending.
Goaltender GP Minutes GA Saves Shots Save% GAA Record Win% GS SO %Time
Jake Brandt 16 879:27 32 335 367 .913 2.18 12- 2- 0 .857 15 0 51.8%

Saves over 91% and GAAs under 2.5 and " ... not one of them is outstanding ... "

Thanks. I've never heard of that place, but I couldn't imagine NCAA talent coming out of Breckenridge.
I saw Wahpeton-Breckenridge play a game this year. Not good.

Why not check out: FightingSioux.com

OK, reading what Sid wrote and applying the "Grandpa Sid" factor to the story, that means Ballard's gone and Vanek stays.
-
No, as in The Breck School in Golden Valley, MN.

The report on Bochenski's selection at FightingSioux.com is up.
The list of winter student-athletes honored as players of the year by Sports Illustrated On Campus includes: -
Playing hockey you're "on the job" thus workers comp pays for the dentistry.
Let's run the numbers:
- Sign for $1 MM
- Pay the taxes
- Net about $600 k
- Put that away in tax-free municipal bonds at 4% annually
- That's $24k in tax free interest annually
- Then you draw your salary ($80k or $1 MM)
OK, how many 19 year olds that you know are:
- doing what they've always wanted to do
- making $100k doing it.
-
It's also rumored that he's no longer attending classes.
Not doing the total job, all the hard work, isn't just a hockey thing with the Randy Moss of college hockey if that's true.

Come on people. Read. Breathe. Think.
I put in not one but two ways, each within two posts, of that "press release" to let you know it was an April Fools Day joke.
I mean, I saw through 'jloos' immediately.
Plus, I'd be embarrassed if that was a real press release. Nothin' personal, jloos. (I have a pro, PCM, do all mine.
) -
Marty: Of myself. It fit both places.

Brandon Bochenski is just 46 points from becoming just the sixth member of the UND 200 point club (G. Johnson, M. Taylor, Jeff Panzer, D. Ward, L. Davidson).
If those 46 come as 21 goals and 25 assists, he'll be just the second member of the "100 Goals - 100 assists for 200 points" club (with Dixon Ward).
SI picked well, very well.

Matt Greene Signs with Oilers today
Matt Greene, a very good defensive positioning and very physical Defenseman, signed with the Oilers today. GM Kevin Lowe said Greene will join the team today and suit up for the Oilers final game on Saturday. The Oilers are two points ahead of Nashville for the final playoff spot, but have played two more games. Lowe said he is anticipating a playoff run and Greene will provide much needed relief to the Oiler's beat up defensive core.
Shouldn't that have said " clueless, sucky, beat up defensive core"?
I love the day after March 31.
GF Native, Potulny signs w/ Ottawa
in Men's Hockey
Posted
"Potulny, who was drafted in the fifth round by Ottawa in 2000" ... "signed a one-year contract with the Ottawa Senators on Tuesday."
So Ottawa only signed him to a one-year deal?
One could read that a lot of ways. I'll choose to read it as Ottawa isn't looking at signing forwards to big deals right now. That makes me a happy because I know who else Ottawa has draft rights to.
