How can anyone hate on The Osh? To do so is just ignorance.

Oh, Wheeler will get an AHL job, and become the next bary Talackson.. All hat, no cowboy

Wheeler needs to get fed, Radke style

Agree that plenty of Varsity chants will be happening at the hoops game. The less fortunate financially, however, will be at the Kohl center

who related the green of the sioux to the green of the pack?

thats the line from "Rvenge of the Nerds"

watch "Terms of Endearment" it actually made me cry

OK, this is silly. Wheeler is a good WCHA player. He is not the Coyotes top prospect, however,Turris is. Did Wheeler have a good year? sure. A year like a top five pick pro has? absolutely not. As for the handshake deal. I watched Wheeler this weekend, and he was pretty cheap. A lot of stick work and extra junk. He also showed up as third guy in in every single pushing match I saw. He has never thrown down. As much as I hate the fact that Finley did what he did, noone has the right to call him a coward. Finley was more than ready to go. Wheels preferred not to and went running home after being let go. Blake Wheeler is the only bad decision Wayne Gretzky ever made in hockey. Wasn't Parise taken in the 20 something round, oh yeah, back to back 30 goal years in the NHL. Wheeler is a disappointment to his father, his maker, and his coach

Did you read "This side of Paradise"? It is an excellent book. Gatsby is lesser Fitzgerald Princeton will not be able to handle the oshie bum rush on olympic ice. I actually predict 7-1 Sioux with Chorney, Oshie, Duncan, Vandevelde, Watkins, Miller and Zajac

Imagine if that guy showed up at your house to take out your daughter!

No, he's legit.

running vs full contact NCAA hockey are very different animals. If we see him it will be for the Frozen Four. Although I would love to be wrong!!

Hopefully not the "free clinic" if you "catch" my drift

Kyle took a penalty on Saturday I do like the grit that he brings. You think that Denver would've run our guys like they did if Killer was out there to defend them? I can guarantee you Vossberg wouldn't

I shaved all but the upper lip this morning. Day 1 of playoff mustache. Gotta support the team. I think you have to assign some relevance to the Manakato game if it was the only game Princeton played on Olympic ice. The box score shows a couple of goals in that game as 4 x 4 too, which means that Princeton's defense had trouble against the land cow forwards when there was room to maneuver. If they can't handle the land cows, they definitely can not handle the OSH!!! It says here that you're a college graduate AND an American citizen.

I've never been to Mankato, is uscho.com right about the rink being olympic size? I am 99% positive the Alltel Center is Olympic. That is a huge element, as the Kohl Center is Olympic sized ice. If Mankato can light them up for 6 on olympic ice, you'd think that our boys could do some serious damage with that extra room to maneuver.

According to USCHO.com's home page for Manakat, the Alltell Center is listed at 200 x 100.

The mustache commands respect. I should expect that the Tigers will refer to our boys as "Sir" or "Mister".

Wasn't Ned Braden as All-American at Princeton?

I'm with you, DAR. 100%

So, I am looking at Princeton. We had one common opponent, Mankato. The landcows beat them 6-1 on the olympic rink in Mankato. Mankato outshot them 34-19 in that game as well. That was their only game on full olympic ice. They were outshot by both Colgate and Harvard in their wins in the ECAC tourney. All the props going to their goalie is warranted, as he only gave up 1 goal vs 94 shots in his last 3 games. The four games prior to that, however, he gave up 10 goals vs 118 shots.

I am not worried about Joe, there is a rumor that he is sick. I have also heard that Bina was sick. I think they will be just fine for next weekend. If Lapoint was concussed than my criticism of his play should be more appropriately directed at the coaching staff and trainers. Don't let a kid keep playing if he's taken a head shot. Get him off the ice and get him healthy. As much as I like to treat them like horses in the stable, they are somebody's kids. Joe has played like a stud all year, and for most of the year, I have regarded him as our best defensive defenseman. I will not throw him under the bus for one poor performance. Better last friday than this sat or sun!

Joe did play poorly on Friday. Terrible defensively. For some reason he did not play the body at all and kept backing up. My criticism of Lapoint on Friday had less to do with his defensive play and more to do with his inability to break the puck out. I noticed a lot of errant break out passes.

Gregoire is going to be good. Maybe he plays with Trupp next season.

Hey Chuck, I'll gladly take constructive criticism but the "don't know how anyone can take you seriously" shot isn't very constructive. If Lapoint was concussed, then that would be a good excuse for his awful play on friday. You could've left it at that. In all seriousness, I agree with DAR, and this team is currently better when Marto is back there with Jones. I think Lapoint will develop into a fine hockey player, and I am not trying to pile on the kid. I just think he is currently not one of our six best defensemen. Whatever the reason for it. I am not calling for him to be cut or lose his scholarship. I want him there next season. How anyone can argue that the team has not played better with Marto in, Radke in, and Kozek on the first line is lost on me. I've watched every Sioux game but three this year, and I just call it like I see it. Hakstol was quoted a few weeks ago as saying that Lapoint needed to "work through some things" as the reason for his absence in the lineup. I think it is clear that he is seeing what I am seeing, and what many others are seeing.
