siouxhockeygirl14 Posted October 25, 2009 Posted October 25, 2009 Toews not playing tonight due to that concussion-like problem. Maybe Monday against the Wild. *crosses fingers* I got mine crossed. Quote
RedFrog Posted October 25, 2009 Posted October 25, 2009 Zajac pots his 5th of the year against the Penguins. Parise with the only assist on the goal. Devils up 3-0 with 15 minutes to go. Brodeur going for record tying Shutout. Quote
Siouxdonyms Posted October 25, 2009 Posted October 25, 2009 Parise adds a goal in tonights Devils/Penguins game. Nice backhand shot. Fished the goalie out of the net. Quote
HeidiSioux62 Posted October 25, 2009 Posted October 25, 2009 Stafford just tied the game with 16 sec left in game. Quote
NDFAN Posted October 25, 2009 Posted October 25, 2009 Stafford just tied the game with 16 sec left in game. And the Sabres win in a shootout! Quote
AZSIOUX Posted October 27, 2009 Posted October 27, 2009 DIXON WARD 2009 HALL OF FAME INDUCTEE hell of a player Quote
petey23 Posted October 27, 2009 Posted October 27, 2009 Going to see some former Sioux players the next couple of days. Wednedsay night I will be able to watch Finley and Jones play for the South Carolina Stingrays against the Florida Everblades and then on Saturday I will be watching Parise and Zajac withthe Devils against the Lightning with Hale and Smaby assuming they both dress. On another note Bochenski leads TB's AHL team in scoring with 6 goals and 2 assists in 8 games. Quote
Goon Posted October 27, 2009 Posted October 27, 2009 On another note Bochenski leads TB's AHL team in scoring with 6 goals and 2 assists in 8 games. It would be interesting to see what his plus minus is? Also, it sounds like Tampa Bay might have to cut payroll because they are broke, so there is a possibility if Bucks keeps playing week he might get to play with the Bolts this season. Being the Wild suck so much this year I wish the Wild would take a chance on him in their no defense system. Quote

Being the Wild suck so much this year I wish the Wild would take a chance on him in their no defense system. Boy, I seem to recall a few on here saying how bad Lemaire and his system sucked with the Wild. In hindsight, it would be nice to have that back now, eh? Quote

Goon Posted October 28, 2009 Posted October 28, 2009 Boy, I seem to recall a few on here saying how bad Lemaire and his system sucked with the Wild. In hindsight, it would be nice to have that back now, eh? The matter at hand is they don't have much at all. They are just a bit better than Toronto. Quote
Goon Posted October 28, 2009 Posted October 28, 2009 Currently his +/- is 0 Thanks. That isn't too bad, I have seen worse on the Wild stats. Quote
redwing77 Posted October 28, 2009 Posted October 28, 2009 Uh.... I don't think the Wild would be that bad defensively if they could play good offensively. The Wild this year are proving that Lemaire isn't a bad coach after all... on the flipside, it IS proving just how awful a GM Risebrough was. I guess that's why Lemaire is regarded as beign a good coach: He gets the best out of what he's given. He was given nothing offensively for the Wild by Risebrough, so he built a defensive juggernaut. The problem with the offensive system that was brought in (assumedly the one modelled after Pittsburgh), you need quality goal scorers in order to be effective. Remember back when Fleury was a rookie with the Pens? They had a lot of young, but potentially great goal scorers, but they couldn't play defense in their own zone to save their hides. Plus, Fleury was a maverick and was almost Huet-like in his sieve-ness. Right now, the Wild don't have anything to build on offensively at all. They just got Havlat back, which will help, but still, Koivu and Havlat on the same line... pretty easy to nullify. So, when that happens, they take chances and they're going to give up a ton of goals. Backstrom, Havlat, and Koivu... right now, they're the best the Wild got. There aren't many teams out there who have less. But they desperately need scorers. Bochenski would be a good choice for them and they could give up only marginal talent or even a late round pick for him. I think the Wild will recover, but it will take a little while. The good news is that, assuming they spend money on big name free agents now, and continue on the trend they are going, they could end up with #1 and #3 overall picks (or in that neighborhood) the next two years. That means scoring. Quote

redwing77 Posted October 28, 2009 Posted October 28, 2009 Assuming they don't screw up at the draft again lol. How could they? They don't have Childress or Risebrough making the calls. Quote
Siouxdonyms Posted October 29, 2009 Posted October 29, 2009 Parise with an assist thus far, and a couple good scoring chances in tonight's Devils/Sabres game. Always fun to watch Zach, Travis, and Drew go to battle. Drew just got crushed by Colin White. Quote
NJDnumber9 Posted October 29, 2009 Posted October 29, 2009 Parise with an assist thus far, and a couple good scoring chances in tonight's Devils/Sabres game. Always fun to watch Zach, Travis, and Drew go to battle. Drew just got crushed by Colin White.Parise on the power play. Let's go Zach!.....and Travis!! Parise gets a penalty call for so the PP gets to continue 6:55 to go. C'mon DEVILS!!!!!!!! Quote
Sioux_Hab-it Posted October 29, 2009 Posted October 29, 2009 Brian Lee was called up today to replace the injured Anton Volchenkov and he will be in the game against Tampa this evening. Quote
Siouxdonyms Posted October 29, 2009 Posted October 29, 2009 Parise and Zajac playing Goon's Bruins tonights and we're cursed with Bob Norton in the 1st intermission!!! Quote
Siouxdonyms Posted October 30, 2009 Posted October 30, 2009 Parise with a nice tip to get the puck behind Tim Thomas, where it can be jammed home by Danius Zubrus, giving the Devils a 2-1 lead with one minute left in the game. Great game tonight! Quote
Goon Posted October 30, 2009 Posted October 30, 2009 Parise with a nice tip to get the puck behind Tim Thomas, where it can be jammed home by Danius Zubrus, giving the Devils a 2-1 lead with one minute left in the game. Great game tonight! It was great up until the point where the Devils scored the second goal. Quote
Goon Posted October 30, 2009 Posted October 30, 2009 Parise and Zajac playing Goon's Bruins tonights and we're cursed with Bob Norton in the 1st intermission!!! I was getting my daughter ready for bed and missed that part. Quote
Siouxdonyms Posted October 30, 2009 Posted October 30, 2009 It was great up until the point where the Devils scored the second goal. I was surprised how well the Devils played, especially after a game last night against the Sabres. They usually don't play that great on the 2nd night of back to back games. Quote
Big A HG Posted October 31, 2009 Posted October 31, 2009 Toews still hasn't returned with the Hawks yet...I hope his concussion wasn't that serious and this is only for precautionary reasons. Quote
Siouxdonyms Posted October 31, 2009 Posted October 31, 2009 Zajac with a goal in this afternoon's Devils/Lightning game. Quote
