Sioux_Hab-it

Everyone on campus needs to show Jonathan a ton of appreciation this season. After all, could any of us have walked away from close to $1M dollars at barely 18 years of age.

My coworkers don't get to see my Sioux attire and collectibles on a regular basis so I proudly display a University of North Dakota puck on my desk, front and center.

Keep the water bottles away from the other team.

I think Ottawa believed they were going to sign Thompson when they agreed to Elliot returning to Wisconsin. However, with only four Pro quality goalies they could find themselves in trouble with an injury to any one of them. You don't leave your NHL or AHL team short so they will have to sign one more capable Goalie. This late in the game I just can't imagine where they are going to find an affordable replacement other than their ninth round pick

Interesting because the Senators had listed every other transaction including the two signings yesterday on their website roster and depth chart. That leaves them one goaltender short to fill the four minor league slots in the AHL and ECHL. I don't see anyone else in their prospect list who is ready other than Elliot and they don't have the money to go free agent shopping within the existing goaltender pool. I don't see them trading to get that fifth goalie so that kind of narrows their options doesn't it. http://www2.ottawasenators.com/eng/Team/depth.cfm

I wouldn't worry about this year as Ottawa is set on D. The only outstanding issue for the Senators is whether or not they will sign Bucky's Goalie. Word here in Ottawa is that another NHL team (Islanders?) is looking at signing away the number three on their goalie depth chart, Billie Thompson. If that happens they will have a hole to fill.

Why don't you get it PCM. If you were an Admiral in Millwaukee you must be dead.

Speaking of Grieco, I guess no one bothered to tell the St Michaels Major Junior team that their goalie prospect has decided to go to college instead. He is in their current Meet the Prospects feature on their website. http://www.stmichaelsmajors.com/features/p...cts.php?id=1106

You can add another to the growing list of early exits as Salcido just signed with the Ducks. With a loss like that, it is doubtful that CC will make the WCHA top five this season. http://www.anaheimducks.com/press/release/...604&id=1394

He was Rookie of the Year in the Manitoba Junior Hockey League last season which doesn't alwasy translate into success at the next level but he definitely has the potential.

There is no rule change that will make goaltending equipment smaller, only more frequent checks of current rules by officials. Start a rumour like that and you are likely to give Briggs heartfailure as he's already a big enough sieve. http://www.uscho.com/news/id,12647/ReportO...teeMeeting.html

Great Post, I hope he has room to paint a little HC reminder on his mask.

This thread is about Toews, a Sioux player; however, if you want to talk apples and oranges so be it let's do the comparison. A long time ago in a galaxy far far away and in terms of actually playing college hockey, Hirsch put up some impressive numbers riding the coat-tails of a North Dakota Boy named Potulny. It is very likely that some Sioux players will put up impressive numbers playing alongside Toews. Toews plays both sides of the puck equally well and is a born leader, Hirsch does not and we all know who has the skeletons in their closet. Besides, if I were you, I would be more worried that the second coming of Hirsch might take your team in a whole new direction.

It was the Canadian Sportscenter. He is getting alot of coverage at the tournament and I will be very surprised if he doesn't have a C or A on his chest for the Worlds.

The final game of the Canadian Selection Camp went to a shoot-out with Toew's White Team prevailing once again, score 3-2. Although Toews didn't factor into the two regulation goals he was one of the five shooters for his team and of course he buried it.

With the Gomez 5M contract, NJ is going to have to dump several of their established players so both Hale and Zajac could join Zach Parise as regulars in the Devils lineup.

Combined Havlat and Khabibulin eat up $13M and there have been some buyouts that count and there are several big names to still sign sucha s Ruutu and Daze. Even the terrible get paid.

I agree, I was merely providing the appropriate response to a narrow minded post.

Opinion out of Chicago is that there is no longer enough CAP room to sign Toews anyway. He is coming back. http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/feature/?fid=10460&hubname=

And going into the season with a sieve in nets and without any out of state boys to do all your scoring and lead your team could make for a long UMTC season too.

Christian did great, he was named the top Goalie at a big Midget tournament up in Toronto last seaon.

By signing with the Black Hawks he would also jeopardize any chance he has at wearing that "C" He will be back, he'll lead Canada to another Gold, the Sioux will hang #8 and then he will bolt.

His regular season stats playing Midget AAA in Plymouth Michigain were less than stellar last season. Still he got invited to the USA selection camp and that is where he performed well. Looks just like his old man. http://www.pointstreak.com/players/playerp...playerid=558815 Beau Christian was the dominant Goalie in his league.

I agree, per this link Ogopogo is a real MONSTER. But when did the Gophers start going into British Columbia to recruit. http://www.vtours.com/kelowna/ogopogo.htm
