Look, people have been pretty nice to me here. At least tolerant, and I've got to be like the relative that won't shut up. I think you'd have to work pretty hard to get seriously ridiculed on this board. Post your thoughts. The more the merrier.

Then I wouldn't have to be in the boat all by myself. Good info. Sounds like very level comments. I am curious what comments, if any, were made about Genoway, being his name was mentioned in your post?

I have a second grader. That's a job for someone else, not me!!

Wait just a cotton pickin' minute.... Ryan Connelly listed as 6 feet tall? Rory McMahon as 6'1". Both these guys grew 2 inches over the summer? hmmmmmmmmmmmm...........

jk, I think I would even add R Hale and McMahon to that list. My position is that I thought both showed some real flashes of ability last year, like they were poised to really show something this year. Will they? I'll keep my fingers crossed.

Another good game for Sedevie and Fabian. http://www.topekascarecrows.com/stories/09...2/new_win.shtml

I listened to the Wild game last night and Roche was playing. Hopefully he is still with the team when they come to GF.

From reading the news and posts on the Carolina website it looks like DeFauw and Bayda made the cut-down of the prospects and get to go to camp with the big club. Good luck to them. It is hard to believe Bayda can make the big club right away but it would be a little disappointing to lose him only to the AHL for this year. Hope he can make it.

Sorry, it gets a little hard to see a hockey game in a football sized stadium. Just doesn't work that well .

Here is a link to some info mentioning Bayda and DeFauw at the Carolina Hurricanes training camp. Read to the bottom and follow the links for Day 1-3 to get info. http://www.caneshockey.com/custom/radB5DD7.asp

Says here that Fabian scored a power play goal and Sedevie made 29 saves on 30 shots in the first preseason game. Good for those guys! http://www.topekascarecrows.com/stories/09...w_bucbowl.shtml

Chris Porter Lincoln Stars http://www.lincolnstars.com/ Matt Smaby Shattuck St. Mary's http://www.s-sm.org/Athletics/Team.aspx?TeamId=18 They don't have a roster listed but the Shattuck site lists rosters for some of the younger teams, so would expect that is coming Brady Murray Salmon Arm Silverbacks http://www.sasilverbacks.com/main.html (2 points in 2 games so far) Layne Sedevie Eric Fabian Topeka Scarecrows http://www.topekascarecrows.com/ Replacement for Fournier?????

Let's hope his twin sons emulate their father in a number of ways.

If I understand you correctly, Nike won the contract for the jerseys but essentially is farming the work to Gemini? Strange. I'm with ScottM. I hate Nike. Would rather see the little man's logo. Hope they look good.

Sprig, I will message it to you. I get squeemish about naming private individual's names on the net.

I'm surprised if they changed from Gemini to Nike. Gemini is owned by a former UND grad and Sioux from the Hrkac era. He didn't play much, and I think he played football more than baseball. Don't quite remember the whole history. Anyway, a switch is a bit of a surprise.

I'm wondering if a guy like Brenden Connelly could also show up on the ice, if the Sioux want another forward on the roster.

PCM, your efforts are appreciated.

Well, at least we know Doc's still alive, then.

Wow. That surprises me about Goren. He never struck me that way.

Question on Parise. For those who have seen this guy play before, is he a goal scorer, or a set-up guy? With his huge numbers at Shattuck, my perception is a set-up guy that can put the puck away too. However, with the talented linemates he had, maybe he is a better finisher? Curious what people who know more might think.

I applaud the captain choices this year, and I am also glad to hear they are not afraid to work the team in an effort to bring improvement. I want to be careful here not to be critical. It is good to work the guys hard. I hope the captains will be able to show equally good leadership in other situations that require a less "gung-ho" approach. I.e. knowing when a guy needs a pat on the back, or a shoulder to lean on at the right time, etc. Or showing steadiness under game pressure situations, etc. If so, we will have a great leadership group this year, even if the number of upperclassmen is not great.
