Zach is a class act all the way. To say otherwise is just plain ignorant. You can interpret comments or play tem out of context as much a you'd like and it doesn't change who he is. Also, calling into question his integrity based on a business decision as a free agent? Please. I've had the pleasure of interacting with him off the ice and have seen his graciousness and genuine kindness first hand. I guarantee he was not happy with his or the teams performance.

I'd be really surprised if it was this year...we are much better positioned for next year IMO. Agree no way can you argue lack of talent or desire on the players parts- we had captain serious for Christ sake. He's the most big time/big game player on the planet. I do agree that sometimes the hockey Gods don't smile on you and there is nothing Toewser and Oshie or Hak can do about it. Sometimes a great system runs into a better team. Sometimes creativity wins. Sometimes it rains.

I laughed at that one too. In Europe, you can make $75-$150k tax free in the better leagues. More in the KHL obviously. F4F is correct in his ECHL assessment. $20-$25k is very common in the ECHL...Kane made more in the CHL : )

What I am describing is 1 seed MN playing team X 2 seed UW playing 3 seed UND No intraconference issues here
-
To clarify, then bracket I described can happen...AND it would be epic!
-
I'd prefer CC...we embarrassed Miami...I don't like seeing a team we humiliated
-
How about Stevie Y? He says in jest
-
Agree it can't happen, but a Umn, UW, UND bracket would be epic.
-
A split at SCSU and a sweep of WMU at home and UND will win the first Penrose and be a virtual lock for the NCAAs. Go Sioux tiebreaker criteria 1. Conference wins 2. Head to Head 3. Goal differential head to head

Does anyone know if Sensers can pick up the game tonight?

Tech in last year's playoffs first round WCHA

Andrew had a very heavy shot, but he seldom found the time and space necessary to let it rip. Note to the kiddies- you are better off with a quicker release and soft mitts than you are with a howitzer. Look at Parise or Patrick Kane- neither have a very heavy shot, but Kane's hands are just plain sick, and Zach just never quits and has a knack around the net. I'd rather score 35 goals with only one or two 70+ mph water bottle shots than 10 with every one being a 80 mph bar down

Correction to above, JT started that year a 21 year old, but he was 22 when he won the cup...semantics
-
Ryan Potulny put up massive numbers as a 21 year old in the WCHA....when Jonathan Toews was a 21 year old he won the Conn Smythe.

Oshie and Toews?
-
Again...how did we not win with Osh and Toewser...unbelievable
-
Osh didn't do the same move twice. he went five hole a couple times, but with different moves
-
We need to win 6 of 8 in order to feel good about the NCAAs at the end of the regular season. I think in all practicality, we have to expect (maybe even hope for) splits on the road vs UMD and vs SCSU- these are two of the better teams in the league. That means we absolutely must sweep WMU and Miami at home. The conference playoffs will be a coin flip for the most part.
-
Its a good class, with a nice mix. Schmaltz is the only blue chipper- he's petty much a lock as a later first rounder.
-
Well put. Both camps have facts on their side. This gets to my earlier point of confidence. Does anyone feel confident about the performance of the team and where we are heading? Does anyone think that we have a team in the pipeline that has a better shot at a title than the 2004 or 2006 or 2011 teams? I know I dont.
-
Its poor management as a whole- lose the TV deal, generate an awful product on the ice...I haven't seen us play "Sioux" hockey all year. By Sioux hockey, I mean 2 lines that are loaded with skill, speed, and talent, 1 line that will just work you on the end boards, and 1 line that will just beat the sh$t out of you... By Sioux hockey, I mean a forecheck that blows the opposition out the zamboni door and dman that make going to the high probability scoring areas very painful. By Sioux hockey, I mean a relentless tenacity from every player in every zone. By Sioux hockey, I mean crisp passing on the tape, speed through the neutral zone, creativity, and picking corners. By SIoux hockey, I mean finishing every check, even if you wear a letter in Sochi this week. Let's get SIoux hockey back. Time for a change agent.

"Poindexter, you want to F or what?" name the film. I don't think I've ever been called anything like that in my life...funny. I'll take it though As a note, I wasn't referring to you. I think your logic on the Don Lucia turn-around is sound and applicable- you have to make changes, and you have to play to the strengths of your team. Also, as stated, having won 2 natty's cuts a guy a lot of slack! WIthout

too many on this sight use flawed logic. Post Hoc Ergo Proctor Hoc...economic speak for after this therefore because of this. You cannot make an airtight assertion based on history without significant understanding of all of the influencers. Nothing happens in isolation. There is no basis to assume that a similar track record for 10 years as a coach will result in the same outcome in year 11 or the like.
