Rhett one of the "great ones" I don't think so sorry. To even put him in the same sentence as Toews is laughable.

Losing Bozak was the big blow to DU

Denver will be good...but has nothing over the Sioux....the last time we had zero early departures was when?

With VV back lots of forward line combos to ponder....should be another exciting year. Lots of good forwards to mesh together. On D I really hope Fienaghe can make a splash this year. If Pointer comes back and can start the season I see a good d corps. With a few unknowns as always.

That is why I say in Blais we trust...no disrepect to Hak but Blais is a better coach. I bet at this point Blais regrets leaving UND.

Yeah but the Ducks need one more win! I think the Ducks win game 6 but who knows...

Unreal!! in Blais we trust!!

You forgot about Zajac....also Lammy is not a third line player.

That is the way it goes sometimes in sports. Anaheim likely will beat San Jose so that proves their worth. Then they will give the Wings a run for their money.

Agreed Forney should be in the mix next year...

Are they not both power forwards?? Yeah VV is a center and Porter a winger but I think they are quite similar. They are a similiar size with similar skill sets. Porter is having a hard time making the NHL and so will VV.

So he is Wes Walz on skates?? I guess not or Edmonton would want him. Too slow on his skates for the NHL. AHL yeah fine. VV knows he needs to improve his foot speed.

How can you call Anaheim a team of nothings?? They have two of the best defenseman in the NHL in Pronger and Neidemeyer. Not to mention Selanne, Getzlaff, Perry and the rookie Ryan. Along with a lot of good role players. They are far from a team of nothings....

I understand VV is a center but he is not bigger than Porter. They are about the same size with Porter probably having an extra 5 to 10 pounds. The reason Walz was on that line is because he can skate! Walz is a great skater VV is not, there lies your difference.

Yeah but how many times have you raised the cup?

Hard to eliminate Detroit's power play though....Detroit will be a tough out. I give the best chance to Vancouver with Luongo in net.

Agreed I believe he would have to sit out another year to transfer to another school but could come to UND next year ala Quinn Fylling when he played a year in the USHL and came back to UND.

Why do you say that? I see Porter and VV as similar players. Obviously if Edmonton was head over heels for VV they would have signed him. Porter was a good college player and so is VV but i do not see either of them making the NHL on a regular basis.

The Force are awesome...the Force are great!!

So did Duncan actually play in a game for Bridgeport?? anyone know??

If you have an hd ready tv there is not much difference in price. maybe 10 to 15 dollars per month.

What the heck league is that??

I disagree HD is awesome. A world of difference between regular tv. No comparison.

Hakstol to the Force and Blais to the Sioux....sounds like an even trade to me!!

no surprise there...
