7/30/2005 Pittsburgh Signed defenseman Andy Schneider.

I guess so much for the announcers statements, we will see, I can't see Brian being ready to play in the NHL in two seasons, just my HMO, but what do I know I am just a fan.

The announcers basically said that Lee won't be rushed from college. There are a couple of young players ahead of them. So basically we have him for two to three seasons.

The Sens pick Brian Lee.

What Channel?

http://www.nhl.com if you have high speed you will be able to watch it.

No, I checked the Oiler's site ealier today.

http://www.insidecollegehockey.com/7Archiv...trisks_0343.htm Here is a good article on the Flight Risks. I can think of a couple I would like to see leave. Number one is Robbie Earl. I think there is a good chance Ryan P might leave. I think philly is probably going to be looking for some new players after cutting fat...

From what I was told it looks as if we don't even need to play the season since the Gophers signed Phil Kessel... All seriously I expect UND to contend for the title.

Now all we need is ESPN College. I told the lady at Midco that they might want to consider adding it as a channel.

Ducktober-24 of September 2005 FOR ND residents.

I wouldn't be surprised if the Gophers had a couple of young players offered contracts too.

I don't ever remember Andy Krantz even lacing them up for UND. Does anyone know about this one.

This might have been mentioned but I think he was going pro. I believe the a professional league in the west.

Nice try, however, there have n't been any NHL contracted signed since the lockout. There will not be any contract until the CBA is ratified. Apparently the Players and owners have to go through 600 pages of agreement.

The only thing I could see keeping him from going is that under the new CBA rookies aren't going to get squat. In fact there was an article on Foxsports.com stated that a few of the Euros might not come to the NHL because they will not be offered the money they once were. I say great because I don't want to see a bunch of stick swinging turtles from Russian, Sweden and the Check Republic.

That is good advice, because he is going to get it handed to him just like Bochenski and Parise did. They had guys taking runs at them all of the time. I expect big mike to be on him the whole time he is on the ice.

You better hope that Frazee is better than Briggs or your going to be in the same boat as last season. Either that or the Gophers are going to have to score a tone of goals.

Teams I believe are going to play Kessel this way. Give him no room to roam and hit him every chance they get. I remember some of the WJC teams doing this to him. I think Kessel is going to become aquainted with Mr Prpick this season. I remember him checking Vanek up and down the ice. Something like this "hack, smack, wack and chirping the whole way.

Dubay is nothing more than an over glorified fan.

I agree Jeff Dubay is not what I call a credible source the guy is nothing more than a Gopher Hockey Geek/rube that got lucky and ended up in the chair of a major sport talk radio station. I guess that being said there is hope for us too.

The checking from behind rule is going to suck. Here is why every game there are a lot of calls that could be called checking from behind, however they are seldom called correctly. Don Adam's non call in the final five was a perfect example of this. However, I feel that UND even before this rule came to fruition always gets the short end of calls, and now are going to suffer even more. Especially if they keep up with the stiffling defensive style of play, the refs are going to make up calls to keep it close. It would have been easier just to fire of fine bad officials like Don Adam.
