AZSIOUX

brad has stated hunter bishop has verbally commited to ohio state next season as his sister will be there as well. good for hunter!! good program

and will be more interesting for us sioux fans tomorrow hopefully having 5 recruits drafted!!

i know, those sitting there and you pass on them is a friken joke..........both will be difference makers, the penguins will win the cup in the next 3 years. or new jersey my 2 favorite teams when minnesota and phx crap the bed dam riley nash just went very high!!

and espisito gets to join sid the kid, malkin and staal.......... already a fun team to watch, lucky guy he is

well the penguins can add to their top talent next or hope the coyotes grab espisito for sure the brady quinn of the nhl draft...

st louis moves up, will they add espisito to oshie and EJ?? NOPE........ WOW

finally the russian is drafted!! about friken time, the rangers are damn lucky! please fall to 21 espisito to PHX!!! MAN, pittsburgh has the 20th pick, would if they get to add espisito to crosby, malkin and staal that would be sick as hell

hahaha wow, this is unbelievable that these 2 are sitting in the stands still, geeeeeez dam the coyotes may get 1 of them at 21

agree, if not then espisito, PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEE or brad malone

digs, nice call!! they better grab 1 of those players above

i hope so, screw it, if a kid can play they can play, the wild will be damn lucky to get either or. cherpanov can just hightail it out of russia like his boy malkin and espisito will be a star

screw my previous post, i would take brad malone over both

wow espisito falling with cheranov, hope the wild or coyotes get either, there must be big character issues with espisito and the russia thing is hurting cheranov, he should just flee the country like malkin did, both of these guys are big time players to me...

i say van riemsdyk doesnt play at UNH and sign with philly

he isnt ready, i see him playing 2 years with the BADgers http://www.nhl.com/nhl/app?service=page&page=DraftStats

thanks the first round is tonight, its live on nhl.com http://www.nhl.com/ rounds 2-7 are tomorrow if they take kane which is speculated thats a nice player to add to toews in a couple years. hes only 5'9 175, wow, thoguht he was bigger.... i hope phoenix takes whoever is left of kane,van viesbrek (sp?) or turris, they better no f this one, 2 college playes in top 3 potentially, will be interesting to see what type of number turris will put up in sconnie

http://www.nhl.com/nhl/app?service=page&page=DraftStats just for fun, maybe i can get 1 right but the odds are against that i would bet and yes i think NJ will take one of our recruits malone - 2nd RD, pitt @ #51 or NJ @ #57, BUF#59 - should be highest sioux recruit this year drafted blood - 3rd RD, chicago @ #86 or #87 NJ, STL#70 - could go 4th but i think 3rd is safe gregoire - 3rd round, NJ @ 79 or 87 or STL #85 - a little suprising early from rankings but he is 3rd rd talent frattin - 5th round, PHX #123, EDM #127 MN #140 - could go earlier in 4th or later, not sure on frattin eidsness - PHX 6th rd #153,NJ #177 - may not get drafted but i say he does, 6th or 7th round

yeah no crap, you can put game worn sioux jerseys up against pro jerseys or any other colleges and we will spend the most for sure. it helps that they are frozen 4 worn with the patch and a rare jersey and that there is a hobey baker jersey in there, a iron man jersey and a few potential big time nhl stars as well, but the others at te bottom would be a nice stopping price for any other auction. nice job to all so far....i would wish some good luck but sorry, gotta look out for yourself in these auctions sounds like the ralph will be selling the nike swifts closer to the season which means the team probably picked the jersey up as their 3rd jersey

brad chats with eidsness http://www.areavoices.com/undhockey/ Q. You lost to Fort Saskatchewan, the league's regular-season champion, right? BRAD EIDSNESS: Yeah, they're pretty good. They have (Sioux recruit) Matt Frattin. He's a very good player. He has the hardest shot I saw all year. When it hits you, it hits you hard. I was really impressed with him. He has some linemates who get him the puck and he seals the deal. There were some scouts in Toronto (at the Combine) who were asking me about him. I told them about his heavy shot. Q. Did you get any indications about who might take you this weekend? BRAD EIDSNESS: There were five or six teams that seemed pretty interested -- Buffalo, Toronto, Jersey... they have a big college connection and North Dakota connection there... Nashville and Pittsburgh. You never really know, though. I was talking to someone who said that sometimes teams don't interview players because they already have heard so much about them from their coaches and other scouts. So it's kind of a crapshoot. I'm probably as out-of-the-loop as anyone else.

did angelo ust peak at age 16 and not get any better as i remember he was a lock solid #1 pick a few years back..crazy how that can happen but it does. billy sweatt is a hell of a player and should be a top 20 pick. i think malone will go mid 2nd round and maybe ben blood late 2nd or 3rd round. gregoire would be a higher pick if he hadnt gotten injured i think, maybe 3rd or 4th for him may be a safe guess. frattin and eidness i have no idea but i would say both later rounds

isnt he a pretty damn tall defensemen if im not mistaken??

i have no problem with fans getting on players at all. its part of the game. there is a line probably though. the AHL is a huge step from college and if thats better for his development and thats what ottawa wants then its not a bad choice at all. it may be a little while now before we find out.

until next april, dont know if he is a NHL player but he for sure will get his shot which will be fun to watch..until then, #8 it is!!

would be nice to have him back!! then genoway would be a solid forward i would think......
