I bet I know one happy hockey coach that he's around his players for New Years. Fly em out there on New Years eve....practice new years day. And then beat up on two Canadian colleges.
I believe BC is alright, they are full of former CHLers.

Did Jeremy Roenick blast his 'selfish' decision too?
I guess I don't follow. -
GF native R. Potulny is off to the KHL. Smart decision on his part.
-
I have Dish Network...saw maybe one Sioux game last season. This is an IMPROVEMENT over last year, plus I get to see some additional games.
So do I....I think I saw almost every home game and a bunch of away games. Head to sensors....real fans watch the games
-
Gee, not that it didn't help fans who live 20-30 minutes away from the X avoid having to take 1/2 a day off of work in order to see their team play...
Haha.
-
exactly what i thought. there is no way those were already sold. Folks, this isn't going to be the demand of the Final Five, not even close.
I second that.

Multiple UNO players have tweeted that Tony Turgeon has signed with San Antonio (Florida Panthers)
Also, last week Dean Blais cut Dayn Belfour from the team

That's great another GF kid signs a pro contract.

It's Brainerd, not Brainard. Leddy grew up in Eden Prairie, a lifelong Gopher fan, and he brought the cup back close to his roots.
Toews grew up in Winnipeg, spent two years at SSM, and two in GF en route to the NHL.
Yes, apples to oranges. Had Toews grown up in Thompson and worn Sioux jerseys to UND games as a grade-schooler, we'd now be comparing apples to apples.
But Toews did play in GF correct? And Leddy didn't play in Brainerd correct? Again, I don't feel Toews has to bring the cup to GF as his coming here was all I needed, but your Apples to oranges comment didn't make any sense.
-
He may have....they do have tournaments that play around the state!
I know what you mean, but just saying that you can't say that there is no chance that he ever played there.Sorry....I'm sure he has played in Brainard (against them) but I don't believe he has ever played for a Brainard team, so in regards to the post I was commenting on it isn't quite apples to oranges.
-
Toews bringing the Cup to Grand Forks would be similar to Leddy bringing it to Brainerd. Apples and oranges...
Did Leddy ever play in Brainard? Anyway, I don't think toews has to bring the cup to GF....but it would be cool.

I'm not sure which answer to give:
1. I've seen it look like this before and somehow Hak and his staff make it work.
or
2. What log jam?
History says Hak and Co. look at a rolling two-year roster window and decide who should come in based on performance and need. They have replacements needed in two years lined up for the current seniors and juniors plus a spare D and F in case a So/Fr jumps early.
We have 8 D on the roster (SIMPSON*, Mattson, Panz, Schmaltz, Ladue, Thompson, Ausmus, Stecher). Three of the eight are Sr/Jr.
There are 4 D in the pipeline (Poolman, Pelnik, Mantha, Evers).
That says they're prepared for one So/Fr defense to leave early.
We have 16 F on the roster (RODWELL, MITMAC, Senkbeil, Gaarder, Parks, MarMac, O'D, Pattyn, Caggiula, StC, Grimaldi, Sanderson, Chyzyk, Tambellini, Murphy, Johnson). Eight of those 16 are Sr/Jr.
We have 9 F in the pipeline (in order of calendar age: Olson, Rowe, Voltin, Poganski, Schmaltz, Gardner, Gersich, Wilkie, Gropp)
That says they're prepared for one So/Fr forward to leave early.
Problem? What problem?
One more thought,
on August 1, 2015, Poganski, Schmaltz, Gardner, Gershich, Wilkie, and Gropp will all be less than 19.5 years old.
on August 1, 2014, Poganski, Schmaltz, Gardner, Gershich, WIlkie, and Gropp will all be less than 18.5 years old.
*ALL CAPS = seniors
Agreed....as I have said before (and some of the regular posters have misconstrued what I have said) you have to at least estimate a certain number of early departures and decommits. If all those USTDP and Gropp come we'll be pretty lucky.
-
Ha! I was just thinking the same thing about 10 minutes ago when reading the Matt Cooke thread comments...
That would be the ultimate die hard....if (when :o)) I get booted I'm gone for good.

CHL at it again...
DU recruit Connor Chatham has decommitted to join the Plymouth Whalers
http://www.plymouthw...its-to-plymouth
Also, Western Michigan recruit Michael McCarron has reportedly opted to play for the London Knights
http://www.habseyeso...ghts-of-the-ohl
I called the McCarron departure....now there will be zero college players drafted in the NHL's first round. When was the last time that happened?
-
Of the 4 guys mentioned Bryn is the only one with above average collegiate talent who could potentially make a difference in the next year or 2.
Agreed....panz maybe could fit in somewhere.
-
miami? BU? SCSU? Omaha? I'm willing to bet UND gets 3-4 wins out of these four first half series. the bigger question is whch team will they lose to that no one thinks they should?
They should get more than 3-4 wins.
-
To who? Why not its the offseason anyway.
I meant they will upset some team who everyone outside of Sioux nation thinks should beat them.
-
Matt...just remember the second t.
Side note, 90 days until hockey!
I also can't wait for the season to start. I'm calling for this team to have a few upsets early.
-
I am talking about the entire history of this franchise, not last year. I think they have some pieces in place to become an annual playoff contender, but I will believe it when I see it. Doug Risebrough did a lot of damage to this franchise and it will take time to clean it up. Whether it will happen or not is the question.
Agreed...not a huge wild fan but do cheer for former und players. I also like some of their youngsters.
-
No, but they should be bummed that they can't get out of the first round. Maybe bottom of the barrel is too harsh, but it's unacceptable that this franschise has been mired in quicksand for so many years. Your accepting attitude about it is also part of the problem. Why should the front office care if the fans are satisfied with just making the playoffs?
Not overly fond of the Cooke move but I don't think the wild crapped the bed this year. They made the playoffs and were beat by the eventual cup champs. They have a promising team with some of those youngsters. Cooke is a POS but he also has NHL talent so whatever's whatever. Guy is a decent third/fourth liner.
Also, I heard that the wilds bottom line would be negative if they didn't make it out of the first round (due to the parise/suter signings) so, if true, they really need to make the playoffs.
-
I'm sure a lot of folks have already seen this on Bryan Lundbohm, but in case you haven't...

Great story.
-
I wonder what the Goalie situation will be this year - after some flashes from both that made me quite excited it seemed like neither guy could win the job. I was somewhat dissapointed overall. Any predictions?
Gothbergs job....he'll keep it.
-
Someone has to either update or remove the scoreboard on the Sioux Sports homepage...I still get pissed seeing the 4-1 Yale loss every time I come to this site.
-
I think he's getting at the fact that pro hockey that isn't the NHL is not all its cracked up to be. Making $60-$100k while rarely sleeping in your own bed, taking a toll on your body, and always being a minute from being out of a job is not exactly the stuff dreams are made of...especially as you look at 30.
Getting a degree that can afford you a professional job- science, business, engineering- much better, unless your Toewser of Parise
This is what I am speaking on...those players that are approaching their high 20's to 30's. However, I do know that they can make more than $100k.
-
What stops someone from getting a real degree and still playing in Europe besides themselves? Many UND guys have played hockey and graduated with real degrees.
I meante a degree in business, law, medical, or engineering. Some players do but many do not. Many think they'll have a shot to go pro only to realize their bodies cannot hold up and are stuck bouncing all over Europe with a young Wife and kids.

Oh yeah, I actually did hear that rant.
