Goon Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 He's restricted. Hum, the Wild are looking still. Someone email Chuck Fletcher. I suppose the Wild would have to give up a 1st, 2nd and 3rd round pick to get him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't see commodore there tonight but maybe I was mistaken, I always look for the red hair and didn't see any. The other guys were there for sure and Green and Hale have improved their skating since their college days big time. It's amazing how good they can skate.

AZSIOUX Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 per brad Landon Wilson signs with Texas Former UND forward Landon Wilson has signed a two-year deal with the Texas Stars of the AHL. Texas is the AHL affiliate of the Dallas Stars -- the team that Wilson played for last season. Wilson will stay within the organization and possibly join fellow former Sioux Brad Miller in Texas. Kyle Radke also is in that organization. Wilson is 34 years old and entering his 15th pro season. "Landon Wilson brings instant credibility and a veteran prescence to our locker room," Texas Stars general manager Scott White said. "He is a guy who is very capable of scoring a lot of goals and he will be a huge asset for us in developing young prospects. Landon is a big power forward who will be a leader for us on and off the ice." .................................. Two Sioux throw out first pitches Apparently, Zach Parise isn't the only former Sioux hockey player who knows how to play ball. A week after Parise nearly hit a home run off of Twins manager Ron Gardenhire during batting practice, a pair of former Sioux players threw out first pitches at Major League Baseball games. Jonathan Toews threw out the first pitch for the Chicago Cubs, while Mike Commodore threw out the first pitch for the Cincinnati Reds. Apparently, Commodore really is a fantastic baseball player and former Sioux coach Kelvin Ziegler tried to convince him to play for the Sioux during his days in Grand Forks.

I thought there was some video on Commodore and his love of the game of baseball, posted on this site a year or two ago. I don't know if I remember correctly, but I thought he seriously considered playing for Ziegler too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goon Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 This is not a good sign for the future prospects of Joe's NHL career. The comments of the article eluded to the fact that big Joe could be gooning it up. Coach Bruce Boudreau first broached the idea with Finley in during a meeting in July. Boudreau asked Finley to prepare over the summer as if he would be making the difficult-but-not-unheard-of switch. "It's just going through situations in my head and knowing what I'm responsible for in the defensive zone and getting accustomed to playing that way," Finley said. "It's been a long time. I can't really recall the last time. Maybe in a summer league or something. Hey, it's still summer and I'm playing forward, so I'll just continue working at it and doing whatever what is asked of me." One has to wonder if "doing whatever is asked" also involves honing his skills as a fighter, something Finley doesn't shy away from. He got into his first fight as a pro on the second shift of his debut in Hershey. "We told him we wanted to try him at forward and we wanted him to go back to North Dakota to practice as a forward," Boudreau said. "We want to see how much that has improved because I asked him on the last day [of development camp]. Now he's had a couple of months."

AZSIOUX Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 big joe hurt finley Finley Suffers Injury Joe Finley, the former first-round draft pick I wrote about in today's paper, appears to have suffered some sort of a injury on the opening day of rookie camp. Not sure about the nature or severity of the injury, but he has left the ice and is not expected to return today. I hope to have an update on Finley's status later.

Siouxmama Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 Looks like this was added a little later. A few notes from Coach Bruce Boudreau's media scrum: *As I mentioned earlier, Joe Finley left the ice with an injury. Boudreau wouldn't get specific, but it sounds like the 6-7, 245 pound defenseman-turned-winger had something like a groin or hip flexor tighten up. "He said he was feeling something was going to be sore. I don't know what means, either. But I said, better be safe than sorry," Boudreau said. "It's too bad because I thought he was looking good. [but] I would rather have him healthy for the rest of the season or for camp than to really say, 'I want to show something on the first day,' and pull a hip flexor or groin and not be able to compete."
