Before everyone gets in a frenzy, maybe we should wait to see exactly who goes pro and who doesn't. There are alot of Sioux players this year that have the ability to go pro; we'll just have to wait and see after the season ends to see which ones do go pro.

Wow, this thread needs to be closed. Kessel is a good player. He deserved the INCH ROY. End of story.

David McKee, goalie for Cornell, signs with Anaheim. http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/news_story/?ID=160746&hubname=

Does that mean that we won't be playing on the same line?

Definitely agree with this. When is the Penrose winner announced?

You and me both. Those guys run the town when it comes to the girls.

Thanks alot for posting these!!

I wouldn't believe that Kessel rumor. He may leave, but I doubt he would leave school before he is even drafted...

IIRC, last year he went home to Slovakia during the summer months.

This rumor is true, unfortunately. The main reason, of course, being that the true info from the JFK assassination is hidden beneath the marble Sioux head in the main entrance. Ralph never wanted anyone to find that info, so if the Sioux nickname is changed, he plans to implode the REA. And I heard this from the most reputable source in the land...the Easter bunny, who heard it from the Tooth Fairy, who, as we all know, tells the truth in matters such as this.

This would be a huge loss if Spirko left. He is a player that would be a great 4-year player, getting better each year, much like Panzer did. I could see him being a leader on this team for the next two seasons, and challenging for the Hobey in his senior season. Let's hope that this is all just a rumor and that he will return for his jr/sr years.

I'll be there. And I am staying at my house in Madison.

I agree. Too bad that it couldn't have lined up for a potential UND/BC championship game, because both of those teams appear to be playing the best right now.

I can agree that the Sioux played better against Mich than they did against HC in the final. But the important thing is that they played well enough to win, and that's all that matters. This will be a good game, both teams are playing very well both offensively and defensively right now. First team to 4 goals wins.

Wow, the Sioux are playing very well right now. Creating many chances and turnovers. Go Sioux, beat those pesky Crusaders!

What was that call for?

I heard a lot of Gopher fans saying "we'll see you at the ralph next weekend" when I was leaving the X after the Sioux won the Broadmoor. This is nice. Now the Sioux HAVE to take care of business. The path to the FF just opened up in front of them. Time to take advantage.

Great news. We needed Drew back. Now time to take care of business against Michigan. We have home ice, let's take advantage of it! Good to see Miller retain his roster spot after his good play at the F5.

Welcome aboard Derrick! Great pickup for the Sioux!

If this turns out to be fact, that is awesome for the Sioux!

Hopefully he sticks around for another year. IMO he could really develop into one of, if not the, best college hockey player during his junior season. He certainly has the ability to do so. I would imagine that playing with your brother is an appealing option, but then again, so is money and the chance to play in the NHL this season. We'll see what happens during the course of the next few weeks. But I really hope that we don't lose Smaby, Stafford, and Zajac this off-season. That is 3 quality players to replace.

Yeah, I heard that as well. The coaches were smart to bring Darcy in next season. Let's hope it works. Plus, it would only be that much more confusing for Woog having two Zajac's on the team.

We can only hope that Irmen and Potulny will be gone after this season. They certainly are having good enough years to leave early. I don't expect any freshmen to leave for the Sioux, but I wouldn't be surprised if we lost the trio in Stafford, Smaby, or Zajac. I hope that we can keep one (maybe two...crosses fingers) of those 3 players.

What happened over on USCHO?
