Clearly JP is too confusing. JPL?

Porter got huge minutes, but didn't do much. I suppose it is hard to look good when you lose 7-0. He certainly has NHL speed and strength. Porter played on a top line with Ryan Johnson and Hinote. The PK numbers were not good for St. Louis but Porter did a very nice job on the PK. He took face-offs on the PK and did well. He did look a little tentative, and never pulled out the patented golf swing clear on the PK. Based on what I saw, I think Porter has a shot with the team as a 3rd of 4th liner. His biggest value is probably as a PK specialist.

I went up and saw the Wild dismantle the Blues B squad 7-0 last night. The wild put on an absolute passing clinic. 3-4 goals were absolutely beautiful. Porter got huge minutes, but didn't do much.

His biggest value is probably as a PK specialist. EJ did play and I am sure he is going to be a top NHLer for a long time. His skating and strength were noticable. However, in this game he absolutely sucked. He showed poor decision making skating the puck in and attempting a cross ice pass with only one defender back. Gaborik easily stole the puck and fed an open Dimitra who scored.

Noooooooooooooooo!!! I am not opposed to BSU and another as much as I am opposed to even less games with Wisco, Minn, Denver, and CC. Lets go back to 8 and play everyone 4 times. MSU and AA, don't let the door hit you on the way out...

Note that Tessier is rated even higher... That would have been nice.

In fairness last season I saw the Redwings play at Chicago and that was like watching Paint dry. I also saw Pittsburgh in San Jose and that was boaring EXCEPT when Sid was on the ice.

I think DU has the best sophomore class in the nation. I am not surprised.

So anyone in the running for the Fornier Award for sudo-excellence?

$1,000,000 paid in Gopher blood...

Mapletoft got sent down...

Marto has always been an all around athlete and that likely helped him in some of these events.

Driven by Zach Jones.

Should be an outstanding practice line forward...

Yeah, I've been playing around alot with it. I think I get the formatting pretty well. The trick is to just use the H1 - H6 which shows up as "=== X ==="

No I am not currently speculating on departures: Chris VandeVelde Darcy Zajac Michael Forney Brad Malone Evan Trupp Matt Frattin Brent Davidson David Toews Brett Bruneteau Mike Cichy Brett Hextall Jason Gregoire Mario Lamoureux Danny Kristo Mike Fink Danny Mattson

Both have proven to be great coaches and that is part of the reason we dislike them. I would take either of them over Jutting (no talent hack loser), or Eaves (zzzzzzzzz....).

BTW, I like you wiki updates.

I think that RunningwiththeDogs is all for another Zajac at UND. If it is his dream I hope if nothing else he walks on and fights like mad for it.

Sure...

Cool that he would respond like that. Guess there is no HIPPA in Canada.

Interesting question. I have to assume that he has at least talked with the Sioux. One thing to note about the 5 point night is that he is playing on the top Salmon Arm line with Derek Lee and Evan Pighin. Maybe Kelly is a late bloomer. Believe it or not the Sioux already have 16 forwards that would be eligible for 2009.

Ignore the moral high ground. Post 'em here...

I bet DaveK posts here again. Anyone wanna bet me...

I too wish they would go to UND, but if they were my daughters I would want them at Minnesota. The reality is that UND has had a poorly coached and managed program and the burden is on them to show progress before top recruits will go there. Note that my criticisms do not extend to the players or the current coach who has yet to show us what he is about.
