Do you want it? Or do you WANT it?

-Vintage style jersey with Blackhawks logo -Professionally sewn on numbers -Two small stains I noticed....one very small one on the sleeve, one on the back by the number by an idiot sitting behind me once (pics included). I wore the jersey over sweatshirts, so never washed them to keep the brightness and quality of the fabric. If washed, these would likely come out real easy. -Size Medium -$130.00 -1987 Replica Tony Hrkac jersey -Professionally sewn on name/numbers -Two very-light stains that should wash out on the front-middle near the stripes -Size Large -$165.00 -1987 Replica Ed Belfour jersey -Professionally sewn on name/numbers -Size Medium -165.00 -1964-71 Replica Away jersey -Professionally sewn on numbers -Size Medium -140.00

-1959 Commemorative Title jersey -includes two title patches on shoulders, one for the 1959 title, and one for the combined 7 titles the Sioux won -Size Medium, fits like larger -$140.00 -Home Geometric jersey with Jason Blake name/number professionally sewn on -Size Medium (Starter brand) -$150 -1954-58 replica Nike jersey -Brand new with tags -Size Small -$70.00

I'm moving out of GF, so I'm going to try and sell some things to lighten the load: Item prices are listed below each set of pics, $10 s/h to be added if you need it shipped. If you're from the area, I'll be glad to meet up with you and sell in person. Paypal or cash only (no checks, money orders, etc.) Keep in mind that the jerseys fit a bit larger because they are hockey jerseys, so Mediums should fit most people. I did my best to point out any stains I saw on the jerseys if they had any at all, but take note that sales are final. I have so many jerseys I've barely worn any of these so most are in perfect shape. All items come from a smoke/pet free environment. If you want to purchase multiple items, I may OR may not give a discount, depending on the items. -Game-used Taylor Chorney stick (the last pic you can make out the word "CHORNEY" -Left-hand -Still taped up -very tacky Easton Synergy one-piece -$70.00 HELMET SOLD -Game-used Nike Vapor XXX Matt Watkins gloves, 2005-06 -Lots of game wear, Frozen Four season -$50.00 (I'll sell with the Watkins helmet for a $100 total) Thanks for looking

It was just a joke, I thought you would have caught that... You are one funny character

I just hope we get it in HD....

I don't disagree about Marto and what he brings. I just don't think adding more "Marto's" makes your team that much better. Jake was not a defensive liability last year, nor an offensive powerhouse. He did his job for the most part and made a few good plays. I'd like to see more big guys that shut down offenses instead of so many small defensemen that are used for offense more than defense.

We need to shore up the defensive side of our defensemen before going after more offensive defensemen. This year we already have Genoway, Marto, Gleason, and LaPoint (to an extent). Next year we'll have all of them besides Genoway. I'd love to have a defensive tandem or two that are pure shut-down defensive pairs that are out there to stop the top opposing line(s). When you have these defensemen that essentially play as forwards you are losing that defensive edge which is the main reason they are out there. And what has Marto done that makes him so special?

Do we need another one of those types? I don't think so personally.

It's about time you officially have no life.

Derek Forbort...next year.

*Laughing out loud* I suppose everyone is a potential first round pick until the 2nd round starts :angry:

I'm with you. I expect this team to be good, but not championship worthy. If we couldn't win a title 2006 or 2007, it'll be tough to convince me before the season starts that each year is going to be "the year."

The Final Five in Milwaukee or Chicago would go over like a fart in church.

Every year we come up with a way to justify a repeat of a past championship season...

I didn't say that if you had those types of players you are guaranteed a spot in the title game. I said that it seems like you need a couple of those guys to put you over the top when you do get there. Different thinking.

How different was college hockey then? Teams need a little star power these days to have a chance at that title.

Judy's? Sorry, couldn't resist...

Yes and no. Yes, because it would be safe to assume those players have more natural talent than others. No, because you have to: a) use the players the right way, b) have a balance of players that fit the system you are trying to incorporate Minnesota and Wisconsin have had some great draft classes many of the past seasons. Our last great draft class was the one that just graduated (albeit they were drafted in different drafts). Look at where UW and UM were when the playoffs rolled around this past spring. Also, keep in mind, Ryan Duncan put up stellar numbers before coming here, yet remained undrafted. Your odds are very against you in becoming another Ryan Duncan, but maybe Mattson can be a second coming. I know he can still be drafted next year, but I still find it very strange that a team didn't burn a late round pick taking a chance on him. It really shows that there's something behind the scenes, in my opinion.

I took some pics of the storm....as always they turned out worse than I wanted. I have a not-too-special point and shoot camera (7.1 MP) I'll see if I can get around to posting a few.

I'm in the air as to whether or not I like it. It's different, that's for sure.

I wonder if there is something going on behind the scenes with Mattson that the coaches here and NHL teams know about. I mean, everyone predicted him to be a 3rd-4th rounder and a lot of people thought he was ready to jump in here for 09-10. It makes you wonder if there is a mystery injury, personality issue, or just flat out bombed at the combine. I would think it would be hard for a team in the later rounds to pass up what everyone thought would be a 3rd-4th rounder if there wasn't something wrong.

I understand where you are coming from with the UNO comment....but.....(without Blais) which team do you think would be more successful in the WCHA? With Blais it's definitive that UNO will likely be the better team, but even without, I think UNO would still place higher than BSU. The reason I say that is you make it seem like BSU is a better team, and therefore a better fit, for the WCHA based on your comment about UNO being a perennial 6th place team (which is even high by their past standards).

We can put it right next to our DQ Cup
