brianvf Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 after 3-4 more players leave, get used to a season of 1-2 goal games. this upcoming season will make last season look high scoring. You are underestimating the scoring potential of next year's Sioux team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

siouxweet Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 You are underestimating the scoring potential of next year's Sioux team. assuming Duncan and Kozek are gone who are we going to get it from? unproven freshman? take the leading scorers who should be back:VV-totals last year were based lot on playing with Oshie and Duncan, Watkins has never been a scorer, Frattin was underachieving last year as he couldn't find the back of the net if the goalie was gone, Miller-come on, Martens-Come on, Trupp-maybe? we'll be lucky to average 2 goals a game. If the Sioux have to rely on freshman carrying them we're in trouble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeypat15 Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 Congrats Oshie and Good Luck, I will now officially have to root against you. Some word of advice when you play your division foe the Blackhawks this coming year watch out for this dude they call Taves, he's good.

siouxforeverbaby Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 Thanks for 3 years, OSH. What can I say about you that others haven't already said. You have ability, you have heart, and you made us proud to be Sioux fans. You are part of the reason of why it is so easy to cheer for the Sioux even after a loss to BC for the third year in a row. Have fun, Play Hard, Stay out of Trouble (or I will make good on my idea to get you a leash), and NEVER forget that you are always part of the Fighting Sioux Family and NEVER forget your roots.

Old Barn Guy Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 Best of luck, but I think you should put something in your contract that sends you to the Blackhawks after the pre-season camp is over! Wish you would be a Hawk, but I guess that's just not going to happen, at least right away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hear ya, I think the Hawks sign Duncan, then trade Lang, Havlat, and anyone else who sucks for Oshie and bring back the DOT line. Goon and redwing again just let me dream.

If the Sioux have to rely on freshman carrying them we're in trouble. I would guess that at least one of the Duncan/Kozek duo stays, maybe both...who knows. Aside from PP time, VV only played with Oshie and Duncan for a few weekends near the beginning of the season, so saying that his points were based off of playing with them is a bit of a reach. Trupp and VV are poised to have huge break-out seasons. Genoway and Watkins will step it up a notch. Not to mention that Gregoire, Toews, and Hextall will all contribute immediately. Plus, we have our secret weapon returning in Forney. "Lucky to average 2 goals a game." Now there is some doom-and-gloom thinking for you.

Fetch Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 I'm sad but Happy for Oshie - Like I have said many times - It was pleasure to watch him play I hope that strength coach gets that bladder thing under control We have had lots of great players - But TJ was special & every kid in the region knows who he is & wants to grow up to be like him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sioux-cia Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 I would guess that at least one of the Duncan/Kozek duo stays, maybe both...who knows. I think both will be four year men. I'm hoping Chorney's dad has a big influence on whether he stays or goes. If he does, then Taylor may also be a four year man! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now there is some doom-and-gloom thinking for you. my doom and gloom attitude at this moment comes from the fact as a team they scored 129 goals and if duncan, kozek, finley and chorney are gone as well only 57 goals come back. my point is unless we have some returners have monstrous years it is going to be a very tough year as we can't expect to be carried by freshman and if we do we're in trouble.

SiouxFanInBoston Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 No matter what, and despite knowing it was going to happen, I still wasn't ready to see it officially in print. At least T.J. let us get used to the idea before he left (remember when Zach Parise left so abruptly?). I'm glad we get to watch T.J. with the Blues. It makes it a little more bearable. BUT, it still stinks. T.J. looks really happy signing on the dotted line, though. I guess that's what counts. Good luck, T.J. Give them all a run for their money!!
