I'm sure you were just glowing with joy when that happened.

Or they have a very good goalie. I think this is more the case.

1590 if I heard that correctly. If not that I'm sure 1370 from Grafton will carry the Grafton game. Just scan the AM dial.

Ok.

All depends on your definition of it.

Yep, that sounds about right. "Situation"...

Nowhere near the truth. You can guess again though, without repercussions.

This is the single dumbest thing I have ever read on this board. Are you seriously wondering if we want a season where the Sioux play a bunch of close games and lose some or have another 1 or 2 loss regular season? Does Roebuck sometimes after games wonder to himself "Gee, that was sure fun winning by 20 tonight, but maybe next week we can keep the game a bit closer. Even if we lose its not a big deal, because at least we'll have a challenge." Do the players want to lose some games, just to keep the suspense in it? Or would they rather work hard and play as well as they can and win by 20? The absurdity of your post astounds me, and I honestly hope you think about what you're saying the next time you decide to post something because it is quite evident you didn't do that for this one.

Back to what this topic is about...Dubay is Very correct in a couple things he said. The Sioux have not had an impressive win in their nine game unbeaten streak. Getting three points in Minneapolis means absolutely nothing. The Gophers DO NOT score. And when he said that Oshie and Duncan have to do more he was also very correct on that. Duncan is no where to be found on the ice, and as soon as Toews left, he should have went too. Duncan's year last year was a product of playing with Oshie and Toews. I won't say i don't think the Sioux will make the Frozen Four because Phil can keep winning games for them. That and Miami just proved they are average and the WCHA really is not that good this year. Mankato is in fourth or fifth and for god sakes you have all watched them play. CC is the only bonified "Good" team in the league. Denver was, but then Trotter left. Offense won't win the Sioux games this year, Goaltending will have to win the Tourney for them.

Wow Ray77 how tough are you...you damn tool

Your one hundred percent right

I guess I'm not sure why those guys dislike him...big, strong kid who has a good shot and plays physically. Yeah, I sure don't want him on my team...get real.

it will have zero effect. Once the game starts, coaches are done coaching and its on the players

Thats the dumbest thing i have ever read. In fact i will put that as one of my favorite quotes and label it the dumbest thing i have EVER read

Good thing you mentioned your lack of knowledge on the power play cause it shows in this post. This is for all of you on here...so take note: A.) The lack of shooting is not the primary problem, the primary problem is having too many guys stand around and do nothing. Just because you are on the power play doesn't mean stand still. Right now they aren't looking for the perfect shot because they aren't doing anything creative enough to be looking for the perfect shot. Give and Go's, Back Door Plays and opening up lanes is all a product of moving. B.) Yes, the two defenseman are supposed to be standing close together on the powerplay. The idea is to create two on one's in their zone when your on the powerplay. The further apart you stand, the easier those passes are to either intercept or for the goalie to adjust to. Right now, i'd say throw the puck down low and work it from the corner or the wall just to switch it up. C.) Shooting the puck does not do any good if you don't get it to the net. As of now, Genoway is the only one who has been creative enough out there to get the puck to the net. Robbie Bina is so god awful at getting the puck to the net it hurts. And those short passes, as mentioned above, are what create the lanes the get the puck on net. D.) Where not having Mr. Toews hurts the most is on this very power play. Doesn't matter who you throw out there, it's not close to the talent level Toews was at and the PP is designed to let your skill players do their thing. Shooting the puck helps, yes, but you better be shooting it with the right intentions behind it.

Nobody would think this penalty is too harsh had Lucia done it.

Dilemma

All kinds of teams do this tryout business being talked about. Which by the way has been the topic of convo on here for way entirely too long. In high school, especially at the end of the year, once the JV season ends usually two or three kids will be asked to practice with the varsity team. Usually this consists of the top JV line or a top JV defenseman. Now, once these kids are up, every damn practice certainly does become a try-out. Most JV first lines equal the varsity's fourth line. Once these guys are practicing with varsity everyday the third line guys, and even some second line guys will feel the pressure because i can gurantee those fourth line guys would just love their spot in the Region and State tournaments. It's a concept of fighting for spots, but in reality it is a late season try-out. So Goon, yes, a lot of teams do this with 3-4 games left in the year.

Um, I think anytime someone is found with heroin there is usually a little problem.

Its too bad this has happened, but I can't say I have much sympathy for this kid. He and he alone made the choice to use drugs. And its not like he was smoking weed either (not like thats any better, not exactly deadly), he was shooting heroin. I can't imagine the U would've pulled his scholly just cause he got hurt either, so he had that going for him.

How about this one - "Study shows predicting headlines rarely works out."

Well, he does look better with shorter hair.

Wow, what a winner.

Do tell.

Yep your right. Any official the WCHA sends there gives them direct orders to screw over the sioux...idiot
