I remember thinking that he needed to calm the hell down last Saturday night. He was freaking out about everything

Evan actually comes from a pretty big family. He has three younger brothers and a sister.

It is.

Fixed your post

I get that channel! Wait, never mind. My parents get that channel Maybe I should go visit...

Tambellini is already a 2013. I read it in an article today. I think Caggiula will be 2013 as well. I'm not sure which one would come with an early departure up front.

I'm a Blackhawks fan (diehard) and I'm sorry that I don't think Leddy has a shot at the 2014 Olympics. He'd have to do some climbing if you ask me. I think he's in the starting D-pair because if he makes mistakes Duncan Keith is there to help. And there's no guarantee that the tables are going to turn in regards to the whole Minny vs Wisco debate. Wisco and Minny play different styles, and are going to attract different players based on the styles they play. I'm interested to see how the Gophers do next year without Patterson in net because I think that's when you're really going to see what they have in their d-men.

I'm pretty sure Ladue will be coming in 2013 unless there's a departure.

And isn't Pelnik drafted by Plymouth, who has one of our former recruits I no longer dignify with a name? Also, Portland probably hates us too. They have the rights to Grimaldi, Voltin, and Tambellini. Got to be careful for them. They like their college-commited prospects. Definitely something to keep an eye on, and I think the coaching staff will over-recruit a little bit to prepare for the chance a recruit or two bolt down the road. They know now what's it like to have a depth-problem.

Ah, I love trolls coming over here prognosticating on a season that's not over yet. Okay, I'll play. It's unwise to count out a team. Remember when UMD won the final five a few years ago and without that run wouldn't have made the tournament? Yeah, so I'd be quiet. I don't think much of UMD, but that goes for pretty much every team I've seen this year. Parity is outstanding this year. So I'd be careful about who you talk about going golfing... Doubt UMD is going to have an easy road in the NCAA's this year after their cakewalk last year.

I thought the poster over there that made the claim that UNO and UMD are better at producing NHL defensemen was funny.

Google is a wonderful tool. I see she goes to Culver Academy in Indiana, but also played in the Pittsburgh U16 program. Also participated in the National Festival for USA hockey, so she's obviously a talented player in her age group. She committed in November based on what I saw through Google. She'd be a 2013 recruit.

Ditto here. the web streams are my lifeline to Sioux hockey right now.

I've heard some good things about him from some Cedar Rapids fans also.

Seth Jones tweeted Miles Koules and told him to tell him all about UND after his trip, signaling the rumor that Jones was in Grand Forks was inaccurate. If you read Jones' tweets, particularly those between him and Koules, it was pretty clear he wasn't in GF. That's pretty much it. Jones has already visited UND if I recall, he made a trip last year. Rumors indicate it's us or WHL.

His twitter just makes it sound like he is not in GF.

If Seth Jones HAPPENS to come to UND, hello stacked blue line. (Unless Mac leaves) I see he doesn't turn 18 until October. Did he accelerate or did his parents just send him to school early?

I was right on Voltin, so adding to my post. He'll be playing for Des Moines now... he tweeted it.

But people do find ways to argue with Montreal and Toronto, judging by the comments.

It's so weird that Derek has never played against UMD, his hometown team. lol. Hopefully he'll get to play this time...

I saw on another message board that he is on the Chicago roster that's on the USA Hockey site. Basically, from what I heard, Voltin requested to be traded, so adding him to their roster allows them to retain his rights so he can be traded, so I'm sure they are working on doing that right now. It'd be nice to see him on a team with another Sioux recruit(s).Can't say I blame him for not wanting to play for Chicago, worst team in the league. There's a reason some of their prospects have chosen to head north to the BCHL instead...

While the bolded statement is true, it's important to just do well in general and not get in a hole. The Sioux only lost one non-conference game this year (to BC, 2nd game of the year), but tied both Maine and Harvard. Where the Sioux got burned was in the early season struggles and getting swept by Wisconsin and Minnesota and losing a game to BSU really hurts. Big hole to dig out of. My motto is : "just keep winning" ... then everything works itself out

I wouldn't be surprised if they were interested, but I doubt they offered. Recent trends suggest we don't offer TOO many high school kids in MN. His dad played for UMD, so I figured he'd end up there. Called that one lol.

Parise and Toews. It was in the article in the Duluth paper.

Personally, if I had to take one of them, I'd take Toninato over Randolph. But I'm guessing he ends up at UMD. Also, it is incorrect that UND had an offer to Randolph. I listened to an interview with Jake on the internet and he had offers from Northern Michigan and UNO. I'm sure we showed interest, but probably hadn't offered anything.
