Holy Smokes. Imagine if he actually TRIED.

I agree that this Sioux team will probably not score like the past couple but I think there's enough ability for the team to be effective. Kozek has the potential to surprise you this coming year.

Maybe Commie and Greene can get in a fight for the ages. Green blood spilled all around.

You probably know more hockey than I, so take this for what it is worth. Both Toews and Oshie can play center, correct? I remember a few years ago when the Sioux had few quality centermen and the whole team struggled. Splitting up these two might be a way to generate a couple of very good scoring lines. As far as I'm concerned it would be hard to qualify one as being better than the other only by way of line #. Heck, there are times the checking line starts a home game. Does that mean they are the best? It does all come down to how kids perform next Sept and early October. Forney may or may not show he's ready to play on a top scoring line in reality.

Those lines make sense to me if Forney is up to the task.

Slide-ruler bunnies are to engineers like puck bunnies are to hockey players. No one was crumbing on women engineers!

I couldn't even get a look from THEM.

I went to UND to fine tune my engineering skills and get noticed by a "professional organization" too. It just so happens that without completing my degree I was useless to them (they didn't find out till later that WITH the degree I was useless to them too, but by then I was laughing ALL the way to the....oh, wait....never made it to the bank... Point is, if I was worth big bucks to them after my sophomore year there was nothing at UND that would have kept me there.

No, I didn't think you were jumping on me. But it seemed maybe you had misunderstood my message so wanted to clarify it asap.

WHOA. I'm not saying I know anything. The question I was responding to is why haven't we heard anything about who this new goalie is. I tried to come up with a scenario that might explain why it could be a while until we hear. I, for one, am not trying to indicate whether Parise is staying or going, nor did I mean to imply as such. I tried to couch my answer in a way that leaves open all the possibilities (Parise staying and no new goalie, Parise going and a no new goalie, Parise going and a new goalie coming in). Any impression that Parise is doing one thing or another given by my message was not intended.

If there's a new goalie, I suspect we won't hear about him until after we hear news that Parise has actually left. In the NFL there's a slew of free agent signings right after the draft. Does it happen that way in the NHL too? If so, maybe we won't know for sure if Parise is leaving until after the draft at some point. And only then find out about a new goalie. If there is a new goalie, it seems like it would be a bit awkward to hear a name before it is publicized that Parise is gone.

You women keep talking. Don't mind me. It's like I'm not even here.....

Hey, don't let a simple thing like a jersey stop you!

In order to end some of the senseless speculation, let me take my name out of the ring.

What I'm hoping is that someone read this thread, and told someone who told someone who told someone who told you.

I should have known!

Am I to assume you had something to do with this?

I've got to assume I'm not the first person to post this link here, especially with the "Got Oshie?" t-shirt in the middle of all the rest. But since I haven't noticed the link elsewhere.... Anti-NCAA T-Shirts

I'd love to claim that my post 862 was just a clever ruse used to ferret out the final clue from #1Hakfan but you have to go back and read my most more closely. My post 862 is actually about 861's speculation being MORE ACCURATE than my suggested candidate who I had initially mentioned in post 857. Therefore, #1Hakfan's "colder" comment refers to both 861 and 862. Unless, of course, #1Hakfan misunderstood that as you did........

I was thinking it was Chippewah or Ojibway. Either way, works for me.

For those MN fans who liked to take shots at Blais for a "revolving door" and compare that to how Lucia more "ethically" handled players I wonder why we haven't heard much from them in the last few years.... Whether Lucia pushed Frazee off the Hennepin Ave bridge or Frazee jumped on his own, it's an understandable situation based on what we've heard about the situation. Facts, however, never stopped the Blais bashers.

I saw the thread title and thought it this board was finally recognizing me.

Aren't we getting paid to do that?

Sioux Hab-it's second to last post Sioux Hab-it's last post Methinks someone's found out the goalie recruit......

I don't. I think we'll be ok with Phil in nets this next year. Phil played some pretty good hockey, but Parise had an outstanding year and outshined Phil down the stretch. We'd love to have the Parise in nets that finished (most) of the year last year, but at the beginning of the year things were pretty close between them, and it seemed both got better. Jordan just grabbed the job and would not let go of it. Still, if Jordan goes, we need another top flight goalie for a few reasons. 1. In case you are right. 2. In case Phil gets hurt. 3. So we can all sleep a little easier.
