SiouxForever

Congratulations. Enjoy the moment!

Not speculating if Crosby is 100% or not but a guy who is 29 years old and in his prime sure wasn't noticeable tonight. Didn't seemed like he played as much as his peers. Malkin, Kessel, Guentzel, Kunitz , Rowney etc. seemed to be on the ice. If Crosby is a non-factor next game, chalk up another winf for the almighty Preds!

I never said the Wild will never win a cup, if TJ goes there, he'll never win a cup. If he can't with the Caps he won't with Wild, unless you're the only one who thinks the Wild are superior than the Caps? In addition, like ZPar, TJ is at his peak, his production and stats more or less will decline moving forward. Lastly, TJ is not a missing piece to any given puzzle, especially the Wild. They're missing more than a few pieces. No question or debate there. Stay calm

Really? Maybe you should hockeydb Zach Parise's stats and tell me how many cup Finals he's played in with the Wild? The numbers don't lie. Sorry son!

If he wants his numbers to drop and really, truly never play for a cup, then go right ahead and sign with MN. Would be a horrible move.

Not a bad thing. Let's the kids compete and make the D as competitor as ever. Top 6 plays. Let's go!

Next year's squad will be a team and win by commiitee.

So long Tomek! I wish you nothing but happiness and the best. I guess that's the way the cookie crumbles. Again, best of luck. Hope you put up some solid stats in the USHL and continue your development!

Who is going to do a jersey mockup? Graphic designers out there. Ready. Set. Go!

Sad. Can't/won't be buying a jersey anytime soon. Maybe I'll buy a game used "sioux" jersey going forward.

The Wild's window is closing shortly. They have a lot of dead weight. In addition, they are not in rebuilding mode. Be real interesting to see what they can do. A lot of money tied up in a few players.... Also, I'm a big Zpar fan but he'll be in decline mode soon regarding production. Funny how much his point production has dropped since he's been in MN. Hockeydb.com it. Crazy! LA Kings will make changes next year. Jets - if they can find some goaltending they "could" compete for a playoff spot next year. Poolman will be a nice addition, you'd think Kyle Connor gets more NHL games next year too. They're trending up. Sharks - They'll be a questions mark just based on Thornton and Marleau I think one player will be playing elsewhere next year. Hawks - changes are coming. Avs - Can only trend upward. Oilers - Will continue to rise. McDavid is elite and Leon Draistatl is a stud people. 21 years old and was 8th overall in the NHL in points! Where's the Wild's young stud???

Hawks will make moves, Wild will not. Quote me.

Can we close this thread? It's a done deal. I'm over it.

Parise's biggest regret will be chasing paper instead of trying to win a cup and play with hall of famers. He's never winning a cup in MN. Not trying to bash the Wild just stating the reality for those MN sports fans. He and Suter just like everyone else, aren't getting any younger.

The sun came up and the deed had to be done. I'm over it! Let's move forward!

Gersich will have to find 2 new linemstes. I'm sure he's just thrilled.

Jost leaving early like this is going to have the same effect on the team next year as when Brock Nelson left early. Dammit!

Be interesting to see what guys stay and go. Jost should stay for one more year. He idle, Toews, played 2 years at UND. Comeback and a wear a "C" next year as a sophomore! Tomek and Wilkie? Do they transfer? I would encourage Wilkie to stay and hit the off-season super hard. I feel like if he can score a few goals his confidence will change tremendously. I think you're gonna see the coaching staff bring in as many offensive freshman guys as they can. Next year's team could be pretty lethal. Pogo? He'll probably leave, but should come back for 1 more year. He hasn't hit his ceiling yet in the college level. He had an okay junior year but I selfishly expected more. Cam - not sure why he would leave, other than getting a contract. He'd be playing in the ECHL/"maybe" a few AHL games if best next year. The road for goalies is a difficult one. No one else should leave, but there's always surprises. We shall see.

The longer that game went in OT without UND scoring was favoring BU. BU got their chance on that play and then buried. Brock lost "2" faceoffs in our own end. Stinks to lose the game especially when I thought the boys had it won with the goal that was taken back. Tough one to swallow!

That's what I was thinking. Will there be beers in that section? :-)

Pardon my ignorance, champion's club members with their tickets, anyone know where "SC-Lounge" section is at the rink? Went to Scheels arena after work and young box office girl was not sure.

Best corner player and best edge player (with his skates) since... well, he's the best player with that skill I've ever witnessed at UND. Been watching UND hockey for over 25 years. Says a lot. He's a special talent!
