AZSIOUX

the 2nd half climb starts vs the kitty cats.....................lets welcome them to the ralph with maybe 4-5 goals on friday....sioux hockey withdrawl.........siooux hockey withdrawl

yeah i would roll with kangas for sure to see what happens. the D is very young of course but you need to play whoever gives you the best chance to win. in that case i hope they play the long island frazee cant wait for some sioux hockey!!!

i wouldnt be beaten my chest that hard because if wheeler was ready no matter how many years 1,2 or 3 it took, gretzky would have plucked him into phx already with their youth movement the great one knows hockey talent and knows wheeler wasnt ready for any pro level as of yet therefore giving wheeler no other options. hes looked at a project here in phx still, doesnt mean he isnt gona be a good pro here for the yotes but its pretty easy to see that the former scout with the coyotes that selected wheeler may have taken him a bit early. hell its not wheelers fault, happens a lot in drafts.

any names out there we should keep an eye on usa?? thanks

i think the whole lets show we have a great coach and screw kyle mentality will only go so far with what they have in the lineup. maybe right away it may work but after that they have a their tough part of the schedule in the 2nd half of the season. carman coming back will be good but losing kyle will hurt, hell they only have barriball left from that really solid first line they sported in game 1 of stoa,okposo, barriball. i think they will be playing on the road in the wcha playoffs. that doesnt mean they cant make the final 5 but the road just got tougher without a hell of a player. man can christmas just happen so we can see the sioux whoop up on the east coasters!!

4/13/07 will do

dont fk with tDON aka the godfather didnt garth snow give dipietro their goalie a 15 YEAR contract, i will bet that Garth wont have this job in 2-3 years. they should keep more guys around with more character like Simon. He only tried to cut another players ankle off with his skate. sounds like a hell of a organization

this is also part of that annual "HOCKEY DAY IN MINNESOTA" im sure kyle will be welcomed back with open arms at the X i can see the segment that was already made on him probably, hometown boy growing up in st paul, tears it up at shattuck then goes to his dream school UM then the tape stops and they roll to commercial, woops better find a new hometown boy to feature

theres nothing wrong with leaving, just fulfull your commitment when you said you would come back for the season. not halfway through because things werent going your way or the teams way. thats the problem with this obviously. the isles sound like idiots questioning lucia as they were the ones that wouldnt sign KO last summer. just really sheds a bad light on kyle and the islanders and now the gophers with garths comments. he could have just moved on but he obviously didnt enjoy lucias comments when he said he didnt like the position te isles pout KO in but i have a feeling KO was going to do this either way. sorry lucia

they have to go for a top gialie thats left out there, thay already have a 3rd stringer in walski, you cant count on 1 freshman goalie no matter who it is.

he will probably be in the WHL well thats sweet if so...i hope they BOO the s&!t out of the guy as im sure 90% of those fans are also gopher faithful and by reading many things they arent too thrilled with KO and i think he is from st paul

exactly, i called complete bullshi$ on the islanders regarding lucia's coaching. where were they this summer when kyle wanted to leave and they wouldnt sign him?? so all of a sudden lucia cant coach in the last 3 1/2 months? what a bunch of crap from garth and that crappy ass team he has. im sorry but KO wanted out and then he blamed lucia to the isles for his !@#!$ year he was having. have fun coming back to YOUR HOME STATE kyle if the isles ever play the wild. kyle handled this pretty bad in my eyes im gona take a wild stab here and say the islanders dont draft anymore gophers since lucia sucks at coaching so bad this is gona get good........

well that puts the islanders (okposo the quitter) and the flames (chucko) on the lucia pets shi$ list...wow it was kyles decision in the end and he bailed, not a good situation all around Still, Snow didn't feel the Gophers were a right fit for Okposo. "It's well-known in hockey circles that the situation for college players is to develop and get better," Snow said. "And quite frankly, it's a big responsibility for a college coach -- a program -- to handle these kids. "Whether it was Kyle or another player, until things change in that program we'd probably make the same decision. There should be a coach there that looks in the mirror."

for sure, someone who will battle eidsness for that top stop.

eidsness having a great season and is 15-2-2 2.18 GAA .934 SV% Eidsness stats

isnt that what i posted 1 post above here

ISS RANKINGS - DECEMBER david toews at #21 from ISS December player rankings

sorry if already posted Hextall Article Hextall

anyone have info on uncommited top goaltender recruits out there for next season? we are obviously gona need one and just curious. thanks

sounds like they have already been trolling looking for ideas with kaip practicing up with duncs and the oshie damn copycats

so then lets use his offense with 2 dynamic players. maybe thats what hak is thinking and who knows what will happen. im sure there is another player that has played center who can fill in on a 3rd line. we arent losing a center really with oshie centering as vande was centering that line. vande moves to line 2 with kozek and frattin i hope. that leaves trupp and zajac to center lines 3 and 4. and actually thinking back and double checking brads blog , kaip was centering the 2nd line both nights vs minny, here is what the lines looked like friday night in the win, then saturday it was zajac centering 4th line with trupp centering 3rd line 16 Ryan Duncan--29 Chris VandeVelde--7 T.J. Oshie 20 Matt Watkins--17 Rylan Kaip--21 Matt Frattin 22 Brad Malone--8 Ryan Martens--11 Darcy Zajac 10 Andrew Kozek--19 Evan Trupp--14 Brad Miller

DISCLAIMER FOR THOSE WHO CARE - size update on 59 retros, not a useless BUMP Sizes left (various numbers overall) this may be last day to get them before x-mas as i send 2-3 day priority mail, for those whos jerseys went out yesterday, they should be there friday LARGE = 7 X-LARGE = 8 XX-LARGE = 3

good for you, i not gona get in a pissing match about he said/she said, go to GPL for that s&!t. you can think what you want and thats cool. hopefully KO wont bail on Team USA halfway through the tourney!

because i think hak prefers oshie at center overall and what he brings at that spot. you dont lose a center as oshie weasnt playing center lately, just sliding a few people over. we score 6 goals one night then 0-1 the next. something will click vs UNH and open the damn floodgates!!
