PP points do not factor into +/-

If they get to Y and we still don't know, I'm going with Zajac...

For 08 I don't see both Gleason and Fienhage coming because that would be 2 frosh. I think 1 or the other will play USHL for a season. 09 LaPoint could be pro. My guess, 1 more for 08, one more for 09, I could see having 8 D in 09 to avoid massive new defenders for 10. 08 (5-7) Zach Jones Chay Genoway Derrick LaPoint Jake Marto Ben Blood Corey Fienhage Joe Gleason 09 (5-6) Chay Genoway Derrick LaPoint Jake Marto Ben Blood Corey Fienhage Joe Gleason 10 (2-5) Jake Marto Ben Blood Corey Fienhage Joe Gleason

It takes a village...

Not sure I understand the question? From a technical standpoint, it does nothing. There are some consiracy types out there that think if a player commits to a certain school their stock goes up or down, but that is unlikely for the most part. There might be an organization or 2 out there that consider it when drafting, but I doubt it is considered much.

Good Point, BTW I wonder what he thought of playing on a line with Gaborik.

The empty nets were really frustrating, but even when Oshie got healthy he was missing a few. I remember 2 really bad ones late in the season against Mankato. You always knew with Oshie it was never for a lack of effort. But, wow, those gaping open nets are frustrating...

To update my wish list. 1) Nick Mattson D 2010 2) Greg Lamoreux F 2010 3) Ryan Walters F 2010 4) Zach Budish F 2009 5) Derek Lee F 2009? Note: I don't know anything about Tyler Landman Realistically our biggest need is 2008-2009 Defense

Wow, I got tarred and feathered for having the audacity to suggest we had space for 2 more forwards... Your brave to bring that up again...

Wow, SCCC may be for real, and by real I mean they may win their first NCAA Playoff game... As for Hanowski, "you could have been a contender..."

BTW, the Gophs got Josh Birkholz from Blake. Very good player like Mattson, played well in the Czech republic. Also visited UND according to HA**Y. Walters and Budish are still big prizes out there from that team.

TJ Oshie, Taylor Chorney, Ryan Duncan, Joe Finley: Find a major that you REALLY like and want a degree in. Phil Lamoureux: Consistency, we saw just how good you can be, just avoid the off days... Chay Genoway: The D is for defense, I love your offense, but cut down on the cough ups in transition. Brad Miller, Matt Watkins, Andrew Kozek: Your time to step up is now. This team needs scoring depth. Matt, more passing. Andrew more positioning. Brad, you had a tough injury, but you are ready to electrify. Robbie Bina: You have worked so hard to get to this point. Finish in style and show the younger players just how hard a Fighting Sioux has to work. Anthony Grieco: No more weak ones from the side of the net... Aaron Walski: Practice hard, be ready. Michael Forney: Get healthy, hit the weight room hard. Evan Trupp, Matt Frattin, Brad Malone: This team will need young scoring. Fight hard for a roster spot and don't let go. Use the weight room. Derrick LaPoint, Jake Marto: Defense in the WCHA is tough. Fight hard for the 6th defensive spot. Hit the weight room. DON'T read Siouxsports.com... Zach Jones: Kyle Okposo said bad things about your mother... Darcy Zajac: Keep being at the right place at the right time. Chris VandeVelde: Keep improving use your size to make goalies miserable. Kyle Radke, Rylan Kaip Hit even harder. Rylan, use your 1 fight wisely. Ryan Martens: Keep being the hardest worker on the ice, and in practice. Win your spot. Brent Davidson: Skate, skate, skate.

It's on ESPN 8 "The Ocho"

Thanks, I was drinkin'

I don't think you understood what USAHockey posted. He was referring to the Minnesota HS class and not the GO4s class.

Not for certain, but I think that there are 3 Mattsons and they are all not related and maybe even spelled differently. Taylor is definitely a rodent, though.

fixed...

I guess this is better than most the crap that gets its own thread around here... Here is what Chris had to say after the Select 17s:

Live and learn.. It would be nice if you could transfer your active former players post to the Former players page. Worst case, you can always undo changes.

You're so 2006... (BTW, not feeling guilty about blowing up a thread are we... )

The bulls refused to come out.

I think at a minimum, we will get 2 more forwards for 09, but to be sure we are far more in need of defensmen. I think part of the reason we have 3 from the metro is that the 09s are particularly strong in the metro. We take the best from anywhere, we are not woogish... I think that the Sioux are clearly interested in Budish and Hanowski, Walters may have had a visit, and Landman is in our back yard. I think it is very possible that one or 2 of our 09s could come in 10, if others commit, thought these guys are so talented it is hard to see. Derek Lee is interesting as he would be a great pickup for 09 as well. Among those player the Sioux could very well round out the forwards. Defense is another question though. Nick Matson (no relation) would be a HUGE pickup for 09 or 10. That said there is probably room for 2 or 3 more defensmen, so I would expect to see that soon. Finally, I am not going to update the list I have been keeping here, but rather moved it over to the wiki. I will pop in information and rumors as I learn of them.

Cool, thanks, I hope you don't mind all the questions. I thought I'd ask them in a thread so that everyone who is interested can get a feel for the wiki.

I was able to get a link from David Toews page to connect with Jonathon Toews page. It looks like alot of stuff got wiped from the Wiki Discussion page. Can you restore that?
