MacMillan - Knight - Kristo Rodwell - Nelson - Grimaldi O'Donnell - Lammy - Parks Dickin - Rowney - St. Clair Forbert - Blood Simpson - MacWilliam Mattson - Gleason There's my guesses for the starting lineups...I know it's going to change throughout the season. It hurts that the Sioux lost so many players as we all know. Losing Gregoire and Hextall early, and having Cichy and Bruno leaving to different colleges and Miller choosing to go up to Canada. It would be nice to still have Toews and Fienhage also, they would b seniors this year...small senior class this year. None of this is new to the Sioux...can't wait til the puck drops in about 2 1/2 months Any guesses of who will weat the letters this year and lineups?

Saturday - Gregoire Sunday - Hextall ~Go Sioux~

Saturday - Lammy

I'll take Frattin tonight ~ Go Sioux!

Friday - Knight Saturday - Hextall

Simpson

I'll take Friday: Hextall Saturday: Gregoire

Hextall

Does anyone know what's the status of Toews? Is he hurt or sitting because of performance?

Friday - Gregoire Saturday - Trupp

I'll take Hextall for tonight

I'll take Trupp for Friday night

What do people think about the d-pairings for this weekend? Will they stay the same as they were on last Sat. night or will they be different...thoughts?

Friday - Toews Saturday - Kristo

Gregoire

VandeVelde for me

Friday - VandeVelde Saturday - Gregoire

Forney situation is interesting...you think if his mind was made up about UND, a person would hear about it. He may be thinking about signing with the Thrashers system...or going to another college..or joining some minor league...tough to say...he must have options though...can't wait til the season starts, it will be another fun season

Here's my two cents on possible lineups: Gregoire - VV - Hextall Frattin - Trupp - Toews Malone - Zajac - Kristo Forney - Cichy - Lammy First Line - insert VV in for Duncan last year, Gregoire and Hextall both had good freshman years, good chemistry and getting VV in front of the net...good things Second Line - Trupp and Toews both played some center last year...Toews played well last year for the time he did play and I think Frattin will continue to get better. Third Line - Zajac and Malone to rough it up in the corners and the speedster Kristo to replace Watkins on this line...good be good things Fourth Line - I've seen Cichy play in Fargo, he did most, if not all the centering...very good puck handling skills, sees the ice well and has a decent shot...Forney is still up in the air if he's coming to UND..will see..and Lammy continue to work hard and make things happen. That leaves Davidson, Rowney, and Brutuneau to fight for ice time. Rowney had big time numbers up in AJHL, be interesting to see what he brings and never seen Brutuneau play. Genoway - Blood LaPoint - Fienhage Marto - MacWilliam Gleason

My Final WCHA Standings North Dakota 28 39pts Denver 28 36pts Wisc 28 32pts UM-Duluth 28 31pts CC 28 30pts St. Cloud 28 29pts Minnesota 28 28pts UM-Mankato 28 24pts UAA 28 21pts Michigan Tech 28 10pts

Did anyone see Cichy play in Fargo this past weekend? If so, how did he play?

I think Malone would be the first Sioux to get into a fight this year. We need a Radke from last year.

What line does everyone think would be the best to go against the 1st line of the gophers? Maybe Watkins - Zajac - maybe Kozek or Frattin - VV - Trupp. Would anyone put Miller back on D or keep Blood in the lineup to knock around some gophers?

I agree, maybe sit LaPoint for a game, he needs a spark. Have they tried to put Gregoire up on the first line with Duncan and VV yet this year? Move Hextall down to the second line with Frattin and whoever is going to fill in for Trupp. Will Hak go with Malone, Martens, Toews? I think Davidson should c some ice time, he brings some physical play to the game, maybe every other game with Lamoureux.

Update starting line up. Duncan - VandeVelde - Kozek Watkins - Trupp - Frattin Gregoire - Toews - Miller Malone - Zajac - Martens Hextall, Lamourex, Davidson I have never seen any of rookies play before. I know the stat sheet looks pretty impressive for them, but so does everyone elses before they make it here, usually. I'm not sure what's the difference in quality of play from the USHL to the canadian leagues. If any one could let me know I would appreciate the info? This year will be pretty competitive for some of these players to get starts, which is a good thing. It's going to be fun to watch.
