Big A HG

It's hard to believe he'll go high after not getting drafted at all. I'm sure he might get drafted next year, but to say he'll be anything higher than a 4th or 5th round pick would be tough to say unless his USHL season is off the charts good.

He came two years ago, but missed out last year. So, don't count him out.

Sounds nice! Take a pic when it's completed....now I gotta find those patches....

I have a ton of patches, but the Frozen Four ones I generally only have a couple of (except the Milwaukee ones), and would like to hang onto them if possible. I'll see what I have that I'll sell and get back to you through PM.

Right...time is the only thing that tells when it comes to a junior hockey player anyways.

To note that link, his 5 points put him at 40th of all the players at the camp.

Blackhawks oust GM Tallon, promote Bowman Link here I thought Tallon was doing a great job. He made a head-scratcher or two, but in the long-run, he was still a big reason they made the Western Conference finals. I was a fan of his (who isn't when there is success?) so it's a little disappointing he's gone. I wonder if there was something the public knows that happened behind the scenes that ultimately did him in...?

Cool, yep, it's definitely game-used. I'm sure it was one they had to replace. Matty was definitely doing some dirty work with it on.

Nope, just moved back to Wisconsin....wish I were though.

I know I already posted in the other thread where Goon mentioned the tourney, but before anyone asks, it's a 5-man scramble format (your four-some plus a celebrity). Also, the post-tournament meal put on is worth the fee of the tournament alone, no joke. Last year there was all-you-can-eat chicken, beef brisket, and ribs that were slow-cooked in the group's smokers all day, among lots of other delicious things. I couldn't move when I left...

Definitely a great time and worth the money! Both of the first two years were awesome and I know team slots are filling for this year (won't make it this year unfortunately), so get out there.

I thought about this last year, but don't think I ever posted it... Now, this is no knock on Looker, but how cool would it be to have Michael Buffer do intros, on ice, for the Friday night game of a UND-Minnesota game at The Ralph? I remember when I was in high school, two other high schools in the area (about the same sizes as Red River and Central) who were big rivals had Buffer do the intro to the game. It was a nice little fee I'm sure, but the schools sold t-shirts to fund-raise for it and I think they came out pretty even while putting on an awesome show. Imagine hearing Buffers infamous "Let's Get Ready to Rumble!!!!!" right before the puck drops.... (try getting a ticket to that game!)

Yep. Still finishing an online class which I can finish in WI. I'll be done in August, then I can apply and stuff.

Not at the moment....unless I can find another blank authentic Nike jersey to replace it with. If I can find one, I'd happily sell it. And thanks for the well-wishes AZ. There's nothing like watching a hockey game at The Ralph, so it will be hard having to TRY and catch more games on TV. I'm sure I'll be more interested in the satellite thread when it pops up again when the season starts trying to figure that out haha.

Private collectors and when the team sells stuff....assuming you are referring to the Sioux stuff.

And the key point you mentioned is "by the team." Did it matter though that it was only one game? They won the game without him the next weekend by four goals, then lost the game in Gwoz's return in OT....to UAA nonetheless. Heck, maybe he shouldn't have been suspended at all and the WCHA knew more than we did.

Haha, that ain't even all of them. I have a game-worn Bina swift, game-worn green Watkins, a white authentic (not game-worn) LaPoint, black authentic (not game-worn) Smaby, white 87 replica that's blank (might sell this too), a USA swift that I want Oshie's name/number on, a K1 brand white dazzle that I used for autographs once a few years ago, a blue Sioux practice jersey, a bag full of about 60 or so patches (Frozen Fours, UND125's, game-used numbers/nampelates, current Sioux crests, and others) four golf bags full of clubs/hockey sticks, and 27 Air Jordans still in the boxes that I bought in high school, among a few other random things. There are a bunch of people who have collections I can't come close to though, so what I have isn't even much compared to them.

SOLD: -Watkins Helmet -Chorney Stick -Belfour Jersey -Hrkac Jersey -Blake Jersey -#20 1964-71 jersey STILL AVAILABLE: -#19 retro jersey -1959 Diagonal SIOUX jersey -1954-58 NIKE Sioux jersey -Watkins Gloves -2006 Frozen Four patches (Perfect, inexpensive addition to any existing jersey to make yours stand out and make it unique) Thanks to everyone who's purchased so far.

I wonder if The Ralph could get enough private funding through public donations to get HD cameras setup at the rink...? I know that now I'm leaving, watching on tv is the only way I can watch, so getting HD is a nicer thought now than just going to the Ralph for every home game.

Aniston please.

Well, if you have a Blu-Ray player or PS3/Xbox360 it does do you good.

CHORNEY STICK: Sold BELFOUR JERSEY: Sold If you want to pick stuff up in GF, you have through Saturday to do it.

Blu-rays and PS3 are ballin'....HDTV is WAAAY better than SDTV, but still a small notch below what Blu-Rays are at. I'm workin' a 37" 1080i setup, PS3/Blu-Ray, 5.1 Surround setup with powered sub (never goes on in an apt right now, haha)....I hope my girlfriend grounds me to my room. When I get a full-time job now after graduating, I hope to upgrade to a 50+ inch 1080p. But that's a ways down the road yet.
