  1. I know that the bobcats are in Bismarck, but aren't they (bobcats) quite a big step below USHL caliber competition?

    I wouldn't call it a huge step. A lot of players have gone from the AWHL directly to college hockey. I think its a league that is probably better suited for players that haven't graduated from high school and are a little bit younger (i.e. Layne Sedevie, P.J/Jacque Lamoureax). In Layne's case he played his senior year of high school in the AWHL, moved to the USHL, and had a scholarship at UND until they yanked it when he got injured. :D

  2. I had the opportunity to watch Jechort play a couple of times this season and I think he's got what it takes to play DI hockey. He may have to get a little bit bigger, but he's a great skater, and a natural goal scorer. Give him two years in the USHL and I'm willing to bet he'll make it. :D

  3. That 2001 defense was unbelievable. The way that season ended will never be forgotten though. The defense carries the team the whole way, and the offense wins it for them at the end... boo ya ;)

    The 1993 team was pretty darn good to, too bad the weather had to play a part in that teams destiny....At least I think that was the year of the rain storm in Pennsylvania.... :(

  4. Matt and Drew are both trying to walk on this year, good luck to both. I would like to see Mcintyre try as well, but he may get an offer from UND to come here in another year. Those three would make a pretty good line together.

    I don't know if Matt will make the team directly out of high school, but if he does more power to him. Sando is a pretty good player who should have no problem making the team with the junior experience that he has. Either way, go Nodak boys!!! :D

  5. Scheving is the man. He's got the stuff to beat Central Missouri State (thats who they play right?) :D

    The only concern I really have is who will pitch after him. Sukut has had an alright year, but they'll need a great performance out of him win or lose the first game.

  6. I think one of his parents got a high end job at Marvins

    I'm pretty sure it was his dad who got the job. I remember his dad being really controlling with his son's hockey career. I would of had no problems if Spooner would have left at the beginning of the year, but he wins a state tennis title and then he's in Grafton playing for the spoilers.....hmmm :D

  7. Alright time to talk about Krebsbach, GOOD GUESS GUYS!!!! ;)

    1. When he lived in Grand Forks, I believe that he lived by himself. He got a house or apartment or something like that, or maybe his dad lived with him a little bit because his parents were divorced yet, his dad was in Minot a lot. I don't disagree with him going to Red River though, the kid did great and is playing DI hockey, I still talk to him, great guy!!

    2. Samson made a huge mistake cutting Krebsbach. As Freshman our team took second at state in Bantam A to Grand Forks South....aka Red River, and the next year there is no way Nick shouldn't have been on the first line in Minot, Samson didn't want to cut seniors, and it cost us our best player.... :D

    3. Our team didn't make state as seniors, probably because we didn't have Nick. ;)

  8. This is an interesting topic. I played with a kid in Minot who transfered to Red River right after tryouts got over. He didn't make our varsity, so he went like the next week to Red River and he made like their second line. In his three years at Red River he helped them win two state championships. Red River is just as guilty as the private schools of recruiting players. Grafton Park River got a kid from Williston when they won state a couple of years back. The kid won a state tennis title at Williston in the Fall, and then won a state hockey title in the Winter, sounds pretty fishy to me..... :D

    I don't really mind when private schools have in-state transfers, but its when they go out of state that it starts to bother me.

  9. I miss Zach.... ;)

    Okay Deeks, a lot of us are upset but I don't think that any of us were ready to jump off the deep end. I told all my friends that UND will be an even better team next year with or without Zach. I'm going to predict that UND will make the NC game next year, hands down.

    We should all get free pizza though. :p

  10. Some of you guys are either completely nuts or you do not watch any NHL games.

    There is about 100 times more hitting, clutching, grabbing, holding, high sticking and cheap shots than there is in any college league. A college kid turns pro for a variety of reasons: it has always been their dream to play in the NHL, the money, the need to elevate their game, etc.

    He will find that there is much less space at the NHL level than there was in the WCHA.

    Yeah, but he'll be getting paid to take it in the NHL. :)

  11. I'm a little nervous as well, but I'm darn proud about the defensive effort put forth. If the Sioux do lose, it won't be because of shaky defense, it will be because we couldn't put the puck in the net... :0

  12. Here's a Sioux fan that would like to see Parise in the net against HC and then if he plays well put him in against Miami or Denver (if he plays well the Sioux shouldn't lose). Then I'm thinking in the frozen four put Brandt in there against Duluth or Minnesota, and he'll win that game, and stand on his head in the championship game 3-2 win over Maine. :lol:

  13. If Voce, aka "Academy award winning DIVER" win the Hobey Baker award I will put absolutely no more respect whatsoever into the award. There is no way that he should be in the top three finalists... :angry:

  14. Which is a nice rink if I do say so myself. I had the privilege of playing there once or twice in my career and I can't complain. Tech should be happy that they get the chance to play their last couple of games in a nice rink. (Englestand, or XCEL Energy Center)

  15. I believe that Ballard is the Gopher version of Mike Prpich. A gritty hard working player, yet takes the time to pi$$ the other team off occasionally. Of all the players on the gophers, he's probably the one I hate the most though for the jersey thing he did to Lundbohm at Mariucci in the playoffs a couple years ago.

    Like my roommate at the time said:

    "If it was my last shift of my college career and Keith Ballard was on the ice I'd make sure to two hand him at least twice before getting off the ice." :D
