  1. All i know is what I heard. I heard that the fight ofr Toews between the Tri City Americans and UND had some veiled threats about representing Canada.

    Canada has such an abundance of hockey talent, it wouldn't be hard at all to slide someone else in. Esposito for instance...

  2. What a tremendous honor. I am glad that he didn't get screwed by not playing in the the WHL. There was some talk that Hockey Canada was going to blacklist Toews from wearing the maple leaf because he elected to go the NCAA route instead of playing major junior. He is the only #1 overall in the Bantam Draft to not play in the W.

    He and Kessel are going to be watched very closely. Who are some of the other 2006 draft elligible players to watch?

  3. MN is an elite hockey program. They are not the elite hockey program. There are some banners flying in ND, CO, MA, ME, WI and MI that say MN doesn't own the college sport.

    They always put together a good squad and are deserving of praise. However, the jock sniffer who never laced 'em up whose claim to fame was Mike Crowley once drove him home from BJHS has no business talking trash about hockey

  4. I'm thinking both teams will be happy with 2 points. Teams are both young, talented teams with a lot of growing pains left. I've watched both extensively this year, and they remind me a lot of each other. Very talented young forwards, a couple skilled upper classmen, weak D. The difference maker has to be Jordy

  5. Allright Sioux Here's how to win this game:

    1. Go out and hit somebody or get hit on your first shift. Get the blood pumping. Early goals either way will determine the winner.

    2. Keep the feet moving away from the puck. MN has some great skaters, and if our feet aren't moving they will get odd man rushes.

    3. Forwards, remember your defensive assignments and backcheck. The Gopher forwards can fry our D if they don't have support.

    4. Do not abandon Jordy. Any Maroon sweaters near the crease should be covered in snow.

    5. Good, hard passes. Noone can outskate a good pass.

    6. Do not take stupid penalties. MN has a very good pp and the last thing we need is pim trouble. Exclamation: IF YOU CAN READ HIS NUMBER DO NOT HIT HIM!

    7. Don't get too pretty (even you gifted players i.e. Drew and Travis and Jonny)

    8. Take shots. Get to the circles, let 'em fly and everyone to the net. Especially opposite wingers to the far post.

    9. D-men take care of business in the d zone before you worry about transition; again this means even the gifted guys (Brian)

    10. Feed off the high energy guys. Get Prpich and Oshie running around like a 22 year old Roenick on Effadrine.

    11. Have fun. Hockey is a fun game and a series like this is what it's all about.

    12. Play Sioux Hockey

  6. You can't base rivalry on attendance. There are two large metro areas in the WCHA and Mpls is driving distance to most schools while Denver is not.

    UND and WI want to beat MN because of the age old rivalry among the traditional elite WCHA programs.

    SCSU, MSU, BSU and UMD all want to beat MN, because they have the David v Goliath complex.

    Everyone likes to knock off traditional powers and MN is just a great big target. UND is too, and I would bet that all of the schools that claim MN as their top rival would put UND as number 2.

  7. If I were in charge of Canadian customs, I wouldn't issue Paukovich an entry visa.

    Zach Jones can't hold his own in the WCHA, he will not be a top NHL prospect. Sorry, kid.

    WJC is the best talent in the world. I hope our guys really shine. Toews especially, he is the only undrafted SIoux in th tourney.
