Sioux_Hab-it

Hartigan just went to the sin bin for hooking Bayda. Deja vu. And Commie with the PP Goal. Its Deja vu all over again.

For those with access to the NHL network the Carolina/Canes tilt is the feature exhibition game and Bayda (18) is in the lineup.

As long as it was Lucy. I hope Woog picked the Gophers.

Well no offence to any Kings fans on this site but I would have to believe that any of Johnson's hockey dreams didn't include California.

Per the link the Canes just traded Johnson to LA. This clearly demonstatrates that when it comes to high draft picks a players personal interests or preferences clearly come second. http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/news_story/?ID=179262&hubname=

You forgot the DQ Cup.

Most thought he wouldn't be a factor at 17 and I guess they didn't learn. This year he will dominate.

They let him sing the anthem?

They will have played five games prior to playing the Sioux. They have already played three and they have two games Friday and Saturday night against one of their key rivals Regina so they could be a tired lot come Sunday afternoon.

There you have it folks, the members of GPL have to come to Siouxsports.com in order to actually get any info on their team let alone hockey.

I would love to see him play for the Sioux but I fear he will commit elsewhere before there is an sure opening for him.

I guess they aren't discussing any hockey over on GPL yet. Thanks for just extracting a couple of sentences out of my post and presenting them out of context. First off I clearly stated that the intial USCHO poll is typically meaningless so it wouldn't matter whether the pollsters care about anyone outside of their own division anyway. Secondly, my comment that the Sioux are generally overlooked an across the board statement, and if you want an example outside of the voted polls just think Hobey Baker. Your damp little hole awaits you.

How would anyone outside of the Gopher lockerroom ever know if it has happened?

Unless he got traded to Washington that would be impossible. Edmonton is not playing so the other player named Green perhaps?

Smaby with an impressive shot block to end the 1st period in Montreal, a 1-1 tie.

Exactly, he probably would have been a Blarney's regular at a different school.

The Analysts at TSN seem to think so. http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/feature/?fid=10460&hubname=

Why is that year after year the same fans get worked up over the intial USCHO poll. Recall that year after year the explanation remains the same. Your grandmothers in North Dakota and Minnesota have more hockey sense and knowledge than some of the so called expertise from out East. North Dakota will never get their attention or accolades because many of them couldn't even tell you where the school is located nor do they care. On the other hand they know that Wisconsin and Minnesota are in cities and have the bigger schools so that must make them better. As always the landscape will change dramatically over the next three weeks and many of their personal little eastern favorites will soon disppear from view. This is one fall ritual that everyone should just laugh off. Personally, I would like nothing better than a Sioux repeat win of the Beanpot

Just days to go and no sign of a dataflix option/offer. That would be just like the the REA staff to cut the faithful viewers of the past two years adrift.

This didn't make the news up here in Canada. I had no idea they took the loss to Holy Cross so badly and I am surprised they didn't burn Blarneys to the ground while they were at it.

Goon, all I have to say is 24>5.

Great pics so keep them coming. Looks like someone is trying to stick close to Koivu in order to learn some more moves.

PCM, it is only thanks to you that everyone in the midwest knows all about the Mighty Oshie.

Unlike the age bias that haunts discussions on this site from time to time, it is not a factor in considering top Pro prospects. Do you honestly believe that age was a liability for Crosby, Toews or even Boston's Phil the Krill. Besides the obvious skill and performance related assessments, character is more likely to impact one's placement hence the latters recent plunge. Oshie is amongst an elite group and if one is to question his placement, then perhaps a lack of media exposure and hype outside of the midwest is to blame.
