Goon

Lets not forget that Vanek was a healthy scratch during the NHL playoffs because the coach deemed he was not putting out a good effort. I translate that to he is lazy or poor in the defensive zone.

This cancer stuff has been out there for sometime, however, all of the gopher kool aid drinkers were saying nah this stuff isn't true, ok, whatever, then to top it all off, we are to believe that Jack Johnson because he elbowed a player has no right to call Kessel a dirt bag, this logic doesn't hold water. This stuff is being said probably because it is true. Frankly, I have more respect for Johnson and would tend to believe him more than I would a weasle like kessel. Now in a way we hope Kessel doesn't go pro so we can watch the gopher Locker Room implode again and watch them lose to another 16 seed team.

Does someone have the picture of the dog wake me up when it is over?

Hammy has Sioux Sports listed as Kesselsports.com on his blog. Apparently this is where all gopher fans go for their Kessel fix.

I have to say on this summer day when I am sick and tired of crappy, dry, extremely warm weather, to pick up my spirits, I all I have to do is think of the Regional between the Gophers and the Crusaders.

Its good news.

The Tribute to Prpich was classic. I love the fight were he worked Peluso.

I think that Kessel has a lot of work to out score Pat Lafontaine and Mike Madonno.

[ I supppose it could be a one way contract. Maybe finally he get his shot at making the bigs.

It just appears that some of these NHL guys have no clue when it comes to the NCAA Division one hockey. The Sioux are like the perennial powerhouse in the NCAA and the WCHA.

We all know what happened with the number one seed. Thud!!!

I think the odds are better than 50/50 that Toews is coming back...

If I was eaves I would be craping my pants just like the other coaches are right now. This off season signings are not over as of yet.

I am not against the Hawks signing Skille and Dowell.

Labs are the ultimate exercise plan, who needs a health club. Two mile walks everyday, frisbee in the back yard. Retrieveing/training when we throw the dummy duck and pheasant. Knowing my dog he would pick up the clay pigeons that I missed and bring them back to me. But dakota is used to missed, he has also heard a lot of no bird calls over the last two years. One time I was hunting last season and just after shooting hours two mallard came in and were going to land in the decoys, easy shots, emptied my gun and my dog who was sitting on the bank looks back at me as if to say, nice shot sherlock. As far as shooting clays goes, I find them harder to hit than a pheasant. The ones that come out of the automated machines are whizzing really fast. One time my hunting buddy and I got out shout by a 15 year old girl during a tuesday night clay piegion shoot at the EGF Rod and Gun club (about 8 years ago) so I never fault anyone for for missing a bunch of clays.

Whatever the decision is, I think Sioux fans need closure on it. Either way it would be nice to know.

Actually after a bad day of golf on Friday and how hot it is I am ready for Fall and Ducktober already Unforunately I think we are in a dry cycle and the hunting for Green Heads this season is going to suck unless you hunt next to DVL. Might be a good year to hunt honkers. However, with all of the dry weather the Roosters should be replenished for the season and hockey season happens the same time Pheansants season starts so two many good things happening in the fall. Also read that Sharpies are up as far as druming surveys go. So think should be good this fall. Yep ready for hockey already.

I remember someone commenting on how the Badgers have gone unscathed so far during the summer. Ha, it appears that this is coming to an end. I wonder after his rookie camp if Skille could be on his way out too. Especially if Toews doesn't sign? Oh the humanity. Also as far as Elliot goes, Sioux fans have seen a situation just like this before, only to see the kids sign anyways even after jumping up and down and claiming that they are coming back. We will see. Elliot hold all the cards in the negotation process. I would bet its still 60/40 Elliot goes.

Actually none of us should be shocked that this article hasn't been through the review process. When ever research fits an agenda why would they put it through the review process. They might find out that the research is flawed and tainted. I would imagine in this case this is probably true.

Stearns County Community College.

Your definately right Chicago is S#!tty and I would not want to play for the Hawks if I was an up and coming star in the NHL. If Toews does sign I would think Evan Trupp would be on his way to UND this fall? I can't see us finding anyone worthy of playing for the Sioux this season via the recruiting trail since everyone is probably pretty much picked through the diamond in the rough has probably already been picked up.

Check out BrindAmour, that dude is in awesome shape.

I would be willing to bet that UW is not done either. I mean really. If I was a fan of the Badgers I would be on my knees praying every night that Elliot is going to sign because Connley is horrible and makes Kellen look almost goaltender like.

Pronger's Wife hated Edmonton so Chris asked for a trade. I guess it appears Chris's wife has a lot of pull.
