richthorpe Posted June 6, 2008 Posted June 6, 2008 Joe is a stud! And coming back for his Senior year would make him one of the Top Crowd Favorite's... I mean thinking back to last year's pregame video's at the Ralph, there was always a Finley hit from the series before, I mean the only other guarantee was that the opening shot was a Oshie highlight/hit... And the crowd's reaction after big Joe's hit's were always Epic... Also, the best 2 games I seen Joe play live were the UMTC games here last year, those 2 night's he was in the zone...And we always love to beat the rodents!!! Joe is a Stud, no Rookie/Freshman could make the type of impact Joe WILL have this season... Come back Joe, and wear the "A" with pride! Rich T Quote
sprig Posted June 6, 2008 Posted June 6, 2008 It would be great to have Joe back for his final year. He would be one of the best defensemen in college hockey. I believe he was leading the team with about a plus 22 in early March. I'm not sure his plus/minus ended up. But I'll take a 6' 7" - 250 lbs, 1st round Senior defenseman any day. Come back Joe, we'd love to have you. I agree, Rick, his whiffs vs. BC were totally uncharacteristic of the year he had, and getting him back as a senior would be huge for the Sioux. His whiffs vs. BC would not have stuck out nearly as much (or may not have happened), if his defensive partner hadn't disappeared totally from the TV picture well prior to BC forwards getting into the Sioux end.

Lamouroux stops those two shots at least 9 of 10 times in the games I've seen him play as well. I think the Sioux are better next year if Finley returns. Quote

True, the Sioux D got caught cheating game after game all year long, and never paid for it as Lamoureau saved their arses over and over again, until, his luck ran out against BC. Quote
Goon Posted June 6, 2008 Posted June 6, 2008 Lamouroux stops those two shots at least 9 of 10 times in the games I've seen him play as well. I think the Sioux are better next year if Finley returns. No doubt I also want to see the Bickle Finley scrum parts 1 and 2. Quote
FIRE HELMET GUY #26 Posted June 6, 2008 Posted June 6, 2008 No doubt I also want to see the Bickle Finley scrum parts 1 and 2. ME TOO! Will probably only be a part 1 though, the Sioux don't come to 'Ucci next year.....although there is 2 games in a weekend. Quote
siouxweet Posted June 6, 2008 Author Posted June 6, 2008 ME TOO! Will probably only be a part 1 though, the Sioux don't come to 'Ucci next year.....although there is 2 games in a weekend. should just be a part 1 as if they go in game one they're gone for the next or they'll just go in game 2. Quote
siouxweet Posted June 6, 2008 Author Posted June 6, 2008 would anyone know the time frame in which joe will be making a decision? Quote
Goon Posted June 6, 2008 Posted June 6, 2008 should just be a part 1 as if they go in game one they're gone for the next or they'll just go in game 2. Final Five then. Now lets hope both Bickel and Finley come back, that could be a heck of a match up. Both Finley and Bickel a huge fight card in the USHL. Quote
Sioux Posted June 7, 2008 Posted June 7, 2008 would anyone know the time frame in which joe will be making a decision? no Quote
Greenbayguy Posted June 7, 2008 Posted June 7, 2008 no Heard he'll decide by June 25th - after the draft. Quote
LeftyZL Posted June 7, 2008 Posted June 7, 2008 would anyone know the time frame in which joe will be making a decision? no Now that's the kind of detailed and in-the-know answer I was expecting. Quote
Goon Posted June 7, 2008 Posted June 7, 2008 Heard he'll decide by June 25th - after the draft. Seems reasonable. Quote
Whoosh Posted June 11, 2008 Posted June 11, 2008 Source? I know somebody ... Remember I was right on Chorney and I am right on this..You will have to trust me. Quote
siouxweet Posted June 11, 2008 Author Posted June 11, 2008 I know somebody ... Remember I was right on Chorney and I am right on this..You will have to trust me. whoosh, I hope you're right. if you are right to lose only two this off season would be tremendous. maybe joe could wear an "A". Quote
Whoosh Posted June 11, 2008 Posted June 11, 2008 I think he will step up and be a force in the wcha next year. It will be good for him to stay and get to the next level. Quote
Siouxhockey78 Posted June 11, 2008 Posted June 11, 2008 I think he will step up and be a force in the wcha next year. It will be good for him to stay and get to the next level. any other good info you would like to share with us. Quote
yellowknife Posted June 11, 2008 Posted June 11, 2008 any other good info you would like to share with us. My very inside source at UND tells me that Joe Finley will be back next year for his senior season. It will be officially announced in the next few days. Quote
Whoosh Posted June 11, 2008 Posted June 11, 2008 any other good info you would like to share with us. Well...not right now, but you will be the first to know when there is something. Quote
Goon Posted June 11, 2008 Posted June 11, 2008 My very inside source at UND tells me that Joe Finley will be back next year for his senior season. It will be officially announced in the next few days. well that would be good news. Quote
Dean Posted June 11, 2008 Posted June 11, 2008 well that would be good news. Based upon the numerous comments on this forum during the past season, many from our Sioux fanbase would disagree. Quote
Goon Posted June 11, 2008 Posted June 11, 2008 Based upon the numerous comments on this forum during the past season, many from our Sioux fanbase would disagree. So take up with them and not with me. I don't have a problem with big joe coming back. Quote
brianvf Posted June 11, 2008 Posted June 11, 2008 I don't have a problem with big joe coming back. I not only don't have a problem with it...I think that is tremendous news. Finley was one of our most consistent dman all season long last year...he had a couple of lapses in the playoffs, but that didn't change the fact that he was solid for the rest of the year. If this news is true, he will be a leader of our d-corps next season, and I would expect him to have a great year. Quote
