delusional.

Ding Ding we have a winner. Wheeler can now search for a team that is not well stocked with forwards and try and sign with them. Phoenix feels they will get a better prospect at 35 in the upcoming draft than they had with Wheeler.

Generous assessment on your part. I agree though, you cannot call him a bust because he hasn't lived up to expectations so far, he is still young. He is only 21, or the same age as Zajac and Stafford who were both drafted behind him.

I think it depends on which CBA you are drafted under as far as one way or 2 way contracts go. I seem to remember Zach Parise getting credited for a full year when he left UND under his contract terms even though he didn't even play a game that year.

They obviously offered him a 2 way deal which means he gets squat. Most top 10 first round picks get guaranteed contracts when they sign. Yes Wayne screwed up when he picked Blake 3 rounds early but he didn't screw up twice and pay 4th or 5th round talent a guaranteed contract and got him to go elsewhere and replace him with(if they don't screw it up) a better prospect with the 35th pick in this years draft.

Spin this anyway you want to. Didn't develop? Overrated? Phoenix seems pretty happy to get a 2nd round 5th pick to replace him. http://coyotes.nhl.com/team/app/?service=p...rticleid=364733

Have things changed on Campus? Some of the ne'erdowells I went to school with would have taken this as a personal challenge. http://www.grandforksherald.com/articles/index.cfm?id=77436 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NxHKfPvLx6o

J Just can't make it up?

E Enough of this cheesy thread already.

Y y does this thread go on?

I guess this must be true. Dan Hammer just broke this story on Kfan. I sent Hammer an email to let him know that we landed on the moon.

Just to get this out there. But you can rest assured that NDSU didn't really want him.

Just did a court record search. looks like robert has a full plate. Yikes.

They become a free agent on August 1st I beleive. Just like Porter last year when the Blackhawks didn't sign him and he signed with St. Louis

Well, then you certainly wouldn't mind if the issue was put to a vote of the people on the reservation then? I have friends there who tell me that a vote would come out at about 75-25 in favor so why don't we find out how people really feel about it?

umm. Nice try, but nope. It does cheapen the rings that have been legitimately won and earned by some great bison teams of the past though. I would even MAYBE concede that if you had gone 11-0 and been number one in the final polls then MAYBE it would have been acceptable.

I too found myself cheering for Notre Dame in the National title and I am sick about it. I hope that our hockey team never puts me in such a sickening position again and that will be the first and last time I cheer for Notre Dame in anything. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tYMUvS8Ebs0

Well if that doesn't prove that all these guys care about is themselves and hockey and boozin I don't know what does? What a bunch of jerks.

Great game if you have NHL Center Ice online as well! Lee is a plus 1 so far as he was on ice for the Senator goal, then got picked at the Blueline on his next shift which led to a near goal for The Penguins.

Not sure when playoff rosters have to be set for the AHL, but of note Hershey is in the playoffs(Capitals) Peoria is not(Blues)* Chicago is(Thrashers) *Chris Porter went ironman on the bit again this year playing in all 80 games for Peoria

Brooklynn's was a blast on Thursday! A couple buddies were in their on Wednesday night and the place was empty and they were talking to a bartender and manager and they mentioned the Sioux gathering on Thursday and they asked if many people would show up and mentioned that "we have the upstairs reserved for that" to which my friend informed them that if that was what they were expecting that they were totally unprepared! Sioux performance was disappointing to say the least only made somewhat bearable by the fact that we secured a suite for the games and we took full advantage. Hit a couple bars back by our hotel in the Tech area and those stories are probably best not posted here. The embassy Suites was a great place to stay and I have never been at a manager's reception at one of their locations where they so aggressively gave away free booze. Hit a BWW for the Wild game and got a few looks from the locals when we kind of forgot where we were when the Wild scored to win it. Went to Brooklynn's again after we watched the Title game and polished off the remainder of the $3k worth of pre-ordered liquor and beer in our suite. Met some cool fans from Merrimack after the game and then we capped it off at Red Square(a very cool vodka bar). The only bad part on Saturday night was seeing the stupid attention starved "alleged" Sioux fan with the paper bag on her head(go away, you don't get it and never will and we don't need you in our fan base) Time for a little detox and hopefully the Sioux can get another kick at the can in 09!

What the hell is wrong with you?

I'll give you face for the 2. $328

Anyone who thinks the top CCHA teams are anything but good is in denial.....but the bottom of that league is terrible and give up a ton of goals. Half the teams in that conference gave up more goals than UAA in the WCHA who gave up the most. So do I think if UND and CC and the top offensive teams in the WCHA would light up the bottom teams in the CCHA to the tune of 5 and 6 goals an outing? Yep. Translated, Oshie and Duncan and others would have similar offensive numbers against that competition and if Porter and Kolarick and Jones had to face WCHA teams and officiating night in and and night out their teams would be successful but their numbers would be way down. Should Lammy have been one of the final 3? Probably but he wasn't, so move on. I know 3 awards left for Lammy and the Sioux to shoot for. In order: NCAA championship Frozen 4 All Tourney Frozen 4 MVP And if we get the first one, the 2nd and 3rd will take care of themselves.

Parise with the game winner in the shootout for the Devils tonight. sick move, his teammates and the announcers seemed to enjoy it!
