I like it, this gains instant credability with me... I wouldn't touch this.

OK, RWtDs I'll meet you in North Mineapolis at 3 am on Saturday.

I don't think he could come. This is from your link.

Now, or when you die?

Some good news... If he can come in at 185, that would help him greatly.

No but Travis Zajac's little brother is... Thanks I will make the correction. Sorry Genoway you are now starting out on my practice squad... And it is all HeidiSioux62's fault... Another reason to be excited...

Yup, you have hockey spew cred...

I get wordy when I drink.

Cool, I expect this to be the source for all the latest LaPoint and Wisconsin High School Hockey Updates...

To steal from a complete idiot... "All the negativity in this town sucks, Zach Parise, Travis Zajac, Drew Stafford, and Matt Smaby aren't going to walk through that door..." Turnover The Fighting Sioux are what they are, they are a team that every year fills their team with some of the best talent in college hockey. As a result, this talent matures and moves on to the next level. Because this talent has success at the next level, more talent comes. Players leaving early is a reality, live with it and quit whining. Would you really tell a 20 year old, "no risk financial security for the rest of your life for a trophy?" When one does come back, surprisingly, enjoy it, don't expect it. I have been outspoken about people posting stuff that is speculation. Sure some has turned out to be true, but timelines and facts have been wrong, meaning your facts are flawed at best and outright lies at worst. Those of you posting BS, let it go... Right after the season, I said that if everyone stayed, next seasons team could be one of the best ever. It didn't happen. Oh well, we will have to settle for another very good Sioux team. Freshman I've got news for you. Maybe the greatest freshman class ever (considering both quantity AND quality) will be back and improved. All those freshman D will be much better. Do you remember what happened to Travis Roach between his Freshman and Sophamore year? By the 2007 tournements this D should be awesome on both ends of the ice. The forwards, WOW, lets not be delusional, we probably have Toews and Oshie for 1 more year. Enjoy it. These guys are awesome. Duncan will continure to improve. Kozek, Watkins, and Miller, have shown flashes of what they can do. Lets not forget that Miller was recovering from a severe injury this year. They would be the first line on alot of teams. I expect a coming out party for these guys next season. Solid lines, D and goaltending Our D should be much improved even with the loss of Smaby. Finley, will be playing what should be his freshman year and will be physical. Chorney, Lee, and Jones will improve on what can only be considered as outstanding Freshman seasons. Radke played the game of his life against BC, and I look for that to continue. One of my favorite players (obvious to anyone that has seen my sig for the last year+) Robbie Bina will be back with heart and fire. Alexander and Marto?? look to be worthy backups at worst. We have 2 great goaltenders, as I have seen nothing to lead me to believe that Parise is leaving. Phill has played well in general, he just hasn't gotten the goal support. Our forwards should be great, despite the losses. I don't know what the lines will be but in terms of personal: Oshie-Toews-Duncan (name me a better line in college hockey) Kozek-Kaip-Fabian (a talented hard-nosed physical line) Watkins-Porter-Vandevelde Forney-Miller-Zajac#2 Wow, look at that talent. At this point I am still guessing that Forney will come, given his immense talent. We would have an AWESOME first line, a ferocious and talented checking line. An all-NHL draft pick line featuring Porter (who I think will explode this year) And a very stron 4th line that can play with anyone. Not bad for a reloading year. Oh yeah, and we have one hell of a good coaching staff as well... NHLs in the Ralph I don't think that we appreciate enough, how many times we see 6 guys with NHL talent on the ice at one time for the Sioux. Maybe this season, we can enjoy it, because it will happen alot. Guys with at minimum the potential to play in the NHL include: Parise Phil Oshie Toews Kozek Watkins Porter Finley Lee Chorney Jones Radke Vandevelde Forney NOT TOO SHABBY!!! Awesome recruits. Hey folks, the pipeline is NOT running dry! We have 2 more high round NHL picks in the works with Forney and LaPoint, not to mention Trupp who will also likely be drafted. North Dakota has a history of not only bringing in first class players, but first class people as well. Have you ever heard of the team underperforming, because of issues in the locker room? Many great programs have had this issue. I'm sure that we will continue to get great recruts for 2007 and beyond. All of these great players are potential recruits for UND for one reason or another: Ben Blood-D Shattuck St.Mary's 6'1 180 3-15-89 Jeff Foss-D Moorhead 6'2 180 12-12-88 (another Moorhead kid) Mario Lamoureux-LC Tri-City (USHL) 5'11 180 6-18-88 Colin Wilson-LC USNDPT U-18 Team 5'11 180 10-20-89 (I think Vegas said he is from Winipeg) Jason Gregoire-LW Winnipeg So.Blues (MJHL) 5'11 175 2-24-89 (Vegas?) David Toews-LC Colorado Outlaws 5'11 170 6-7-90 Kelsey Tessier-C Colorado Outlaws 5'8 150 1-16-90 Jordy Murray-RC Shattuck St.Mary's 5'8 155 1-8-90 Wade Poplawski-D Winnipeg (MJHL) 5'11 180 8-12-86 61-4-36-40-93 2003 Manitoba U17 Team Ben Winnett-RW Salmon Arm (BCHL) 6' 175 4-3-89 60-18-31-49-31 Aaron Marvin-C/LW Warroad 6'3 180 5-27-88 Brad Malone This will keep the wild ride going. Enjoy... And finally Every where the Sioux travel they can expect a lift from the fans. Pound for pound we travel better than anyone else in the nation. We are passionate about our team and will support them regardless of the circumstances. (No, I'm not talking about you losers that post crap and whine here or sit on your hands at the Ralph). But there is a huge legion of support for our team, and this legion will only continue to grow because we are the best tradition in college hockey bar none! So this is why I am excite for the 2006/2007 season and beyond. Fighting Sioux fans, be loud and proud for your team. Go Fighting Sioux!!! (fyi, this will also be ther first real post at www.siouxnami.blogspot.com)

6'2" We would have to cut him off at the knees for him to play goal for the Sioux...

Who told you the secret ingredient...

Sooooo, your saying we should blame this on the North Dakota girls...

Keep looking...

doh...

How much does Kupchella care about hockey? See if you can find out in this unaltered quote, from an alumni email...

Why can't you jacka$$es just sit on your speculation until there is a REAL source? Here we go again...

He would have been the #1 pick, if they thought he would play... that is a shot in the dark. They are just hoping. Actually it probably is a smart mid-round draft pick.

Suicide Can you get center ice? That was a great investment this year, I just hope they offer it in HD soon.

Eventually, we all start to understand your babble... So, when do you leave for Buffalo?

The Oilers have RW77 a little on edge...

well I guess that is better than a big a$$hole on the roster....

I really don't think we are giving next years freshman enough credit. With Vandevelde, Forney, and Zajac and assuming Oshie, Toews, and Spirko return, I think this team will be competing for all 3 championships again. And who will lead this new Sioux charge? FABIAN!!!!!!!!!!!

Did Stafford sign to play in the Worl Championships...
