I would bet that Web Page has no credibility at all. Unless its in the press in Columbus, on http://www.NHL.com or the Blue Jackets home page which it is not I don't believe it. http://www.bluejackets.com/

Oh I am sure, he would be the first choice to take Deans place. That being said, I doubt. With the World Juniors coming up and he is the coach. I wouldn't put much stock into it. Just someone trolling.

Talk about a horrible combination of colors. Yikes.

TC you need to snoop around a bit. Its out there.

I wouldn't believe it until I see it on NHL.com and I just looked both at the http://www.nhl.com and the Columbus home page and there is nothing there on this.

Can you imagine the pick up games these guys could have against the other neighborhood kids. Yikes. This family is almost at the legendary status as far as their atheletic prowess goes. And wasn't there dad like a stud goalie during the 1970's?

Let me tell you I am hearing from a source close to the Gopher progam. That Vanek is a cancer in the locker room, its also come up in the media. Sioux fans we heard hennesey talking about it last winter on the coaches show or maybe in the morning but Tim has brought this up. Its been out there for a while. T.C. You need to take your marroon and gold goggles off and listen.

Your right, there are hockey players from all over the world in the WCHA, however, a major of the good ones come from up north, ie, Canada, Minnesota, Mass...

Oh my god was that two years ago already. I thought the kid was pretty good hockey player for only being an 8th grader. I have heard there are nine of them all of which are supposed to be really good athletes, I believe two of them are twins girls which are also hockey players. I can't imagine what it cost to put skates on all of them. I hope most of them end up at UND. That would really throw Wooger off on FSN. First the Pazner Division then the Lamoureux's...

Redwing _77, Do you mean Vanek leaving (passing), Because I really think he won't be around when the season starts, I think he is just positioning himself for a decent contract offer from the Sabres. I talked to someone close to the Gopher program that stated all along what we had been hearing. Vanek was a cancer in the locker room this past season.

JUst a question. How old are these two kids? Seems like one of them was pretty young when he played at Central, if I remeber right didn't one of them play at Central as a 8th grader?

Well I look at that as a character flaw, because UND is going to be the team to beat in the WCHA, next season. Minnesota will be lucky in to in the top four in the league next season, especially if Vanek goes pro.

People always assume that most of these students only commit to UND because of the arena, I think it is the icing on the cake. Or just one of the many reasons great recruits go to UND. UND is a power house in college hockey. I think more so than even UofM.

I like that Idea. Giving PCM full credit of course.

Irbe is at the twilight of his career and Karl is an up and coming star. I hope Irbe just retires after he fails to make the line up on a regular basis.

I don't honestly seeing him playing at UND either. Who is he going to play over?

The roads are in terrible condition too. Lots of pot holes.

I wasn't trying to attack you per say, I just think its funny that some are complaining about the FSC when they are not looking at the whole picture. We should look at the arena and the UND program and thank our lucky stars not grumble like the losers Glenda Misken and Vivian Nelson ala http://www.UND-fraud.com I don't know about you guys but I have been to Marryouchi twice once last season and I think the REA is head and tails about the Mary.

Isn't it UAA. AAU was a swiming association I used to belong to as a kid.

Ok, we get your point. You must still be a college student, because the world is an imperfect place. People charge money to for services. Maybe you should spend less time in the liberal arts classes and more time attending classes on economonics and business. In fact my Life is full of rate increases. This season, my golf course raise their rates 50.00, the cable bill went up. So did the price of gas, but then it went back down again to a cheap 1.89. Oh crap my house mortage payments went up too I think it was 50.00 also... Its not just the FSC, its every where. I am pretty sure if are so upset that you don't want to pay for your season student tickets someone else will.

Last years team did have the gritt and I believe way more talent that the 1997 team, however, losing to Denver showed what can happen when you run into a hot goalie in a one and gone series, anyone can win. I say no way Denver could have beaten UND in a 7 game series like the NHL. Also there is no shame in losing to a hot goalie.

I would suppose they will charge money to see it. Hopefully serve beer in the vending spots.

Actually I thought it was closer to 40,000. Just what I heard.

Does anyone know if they games are going to be on TV or not?
