Did you seriously just bring BMT in to provide evidence here? Do we really take BMT that seriously? Half the stuff on there is just teammate ribbing.

Yet Brendan Smith's 2 DUI's didn't hurt his chances. YET.

Seriously though, who wouldn't do well on a line with Trupp? Just put your stick on the ice and yell for the puck...

Yup. He was Frattin's replacement. I wouldn't be surprised to see him at a center position, I think it depends what they decide to do with Hextall and Gregoire and if they'll split them up or keep them together and just insert someone in the middle.

Lammy will take over Zajac's center spot on the third line, not the second. Our top 2 lines from this year are going to remain largely in tact, and I would vote to either a) insert Toews or Knight into the position, or b)convert someone to a center. I vote for Hextall since he did play center in juniors.

Thank you! Yes, this means I agree with everything you said.

Um...no. Simpson was accelerating before he committed. Our coaches did not tell him to accelerate. Until I hear the official word, I still say Simpson waits.

Chay actually came back way before the Frozen Four that year. We played St Cloud the final weekend and I believe he sat out that series and was back for the first round playoffs against Tech. He played in the Final Five and Regionals and was named to the all-tourney team at regionals. I don't think you can say he wasn't ready to play. He probably was still feeling some affects, but he was ready to play... just didn't have a good game at the Frozen Four. It happens.

stranger things have happened... just saying.

not an early departure though .... he wasn't going to be back anyway.

I don't use uscho for stats b/c I don't think they are accurate. Even when my job required me to need to find hockey statistics, i used collegehockeystats as all that site is is statistics, whereas uscho has other features.

it's incorrect. Jason has served 3 penalties for 6 minutes in penalties. http://www.collegehockeystats.net/0910/teamstats/ndkm

they think that every year. just because you light it up in mn high school hockey, doesn't mean your freshman year in the wcha is going to be smooth sailing. it's risky to rely on unproven freshmen, no matter how talented they are, in turning the tide on a season.

so much for the 2-3 games speculation all over the web. one game sounds about right.

It happened TWICE. Both their PP goals were a result of Cepis diving. Had the official called the dive, it could have been a different game. Don't know for sure, and I don't want to use that as an excuse ... but I'm angry right now so I need to vent.

Disagree completely. That wasn't a dive. You can clearly see the stick tripping VV based on the speed he was driving to the net at it's not surprising that he fell into the boards. And that's a dangerous play too since he went feet first into the boards. And Cepis better hope he never crosses paths with me down in the metro. I can be a bitter, angry person with a wrath like no other.

I'm getting tired of saying this, but Gregoire is NOT leaving after this year. In fact, I'm pretty sure I heard him say that himself. He's not NHL ready.

So you're saying Mac, who is a DEFENSIVE DEFENSEMAN and expected to worry about his own end and not expected to put up points at this juncture, will never play in the NHL because he doesn't have any offensive skills, yet you say Olsen will be a DEFENSIVE DEFENSEMAN in the NHL, likely also not expected to put up points and take care of his own end, because he has better offensive skills. Since when do defensive defenseman have concerns about providing offense? I find this to be an odd statement. Please elaborate.

MORE PEOPLE SHOULD VOTE FOR THIS PICTURE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=3241...d=1380458917615 it's so cute! I have no affiliation to the owners of this picture. Oh, and no offense to the above poster trying to get votes to get tickets. I just think this pic is adorable.

AGREED. I'd rather watch on TV than spend an entire week's paycheck on a ticket to a Sioux/Gopher game... or any game for that matter! Some of us have bills to pay!

Gregoie is NOT leaving after this year. He'll be here at least another year unless he's really anxious to play in the AHL. Which I DOUBT.

Thanks Darcy, Chay and Vandy for all you've done and will do! Now let's go out with a bang! (a positive one!) GO SIOUX!

I'm not sure what you're claiming False to. Facts are facts: we are tied for 8th. All I'm saying is our best chances to move up in Pairwise is in playoffs. Beating Tech won't have much as an impact as beating some other teams we might face in playoffs.

Dropped to a tie for 8th right now with Yale. We'll have to make up ground in the playoffs since I don't think this weekend will do much for moving up based on tonight's results.

Currently tied for 5th with BC.
