Oshie will not be on the ice for a critical WCHA game this evening because of bad decisions he made. A leader does not put his team or his teammates in this situation. PERIOD. My prediction is that the rest of the Sioux will step up in a big way tonight and Oshie will be a force on Saturday.
Please spare me all the drivel that insinuates that anyone who is diappointed in Oshie's actions somehow does not support Oshie, is a loser, or was never a wild and crazy college kid. The kid is a helluva hockey player. He will likely be a highly paid professional athlete. With that comes a level of scrutiny and responsiblity that none of us are subject too.
I'm sure he is disappointed in his actions and will learn from the incident. More importantly, I'm fairly sure that he is man enough to understand that one can be both disappointed in his actions and supportive and appreciative of his effort on the ice and his commitment to UND Fighting Sioux Hockey.
