fargosioux Posted February 18, 2011 Posted February 18, 2011 Matt Greene with his first goal of the season at Madison Square Garden against the Rangers. Nice slap shot from the point. Quote
Sioux_Yeah_Yeah Posted February 18, 2011 Posted February 18, 2011 Since moving to CA, I have been out of the hockey loop! But, I just found out that Stockton is an hour away from me and they have an ECHL team! Can someone do some research for me (since I have to actually work today) about any former Sioux players in the ECHL and which teams they play for? I'd greatly appreciate it! Quote
AZSIOUX Posted February 19, 2011 Posted February 19, 2011 you think the blues wish they took toews now?? he and osh together in the blue note could have been a nice und combo e johnson traded Quote
Big A HG Posted February 19, 2011 Posted February 19, 2011 you think the blues wish they took toews now?? he and osh together in the blue note could have been a nice und combo e johnson traded That would have been AWESOME...except it's awesome to see a guy lace it up as the team captain in an Original Six city like Chicago. We should be saying, too bad the Blackhawks didn't draft Oshie....instead, they took Jack Skille (ha!) with the 7th overall pick. Obviously that was a bit high for even The Osh in terms of pre-draft rankings that year, but TJ is a man-beast who is going to become a big time player. Hindsight is always 20/20, though. 1 Quote

ScottM Posted February 25, 2011 Posted February 25, 2011 Interesting article on how the NHL salary cap has forced a number of highly paid players into the AHL, with comments by Mike Commodore. WSJ Quote
yzerman19 Posted February 26, 2011 Posted February 26, 2011 You could field a really nice core to an NHL squad with ex-Sioux Scoring 1: Toews centering Parise and Oshie Scoring 2: Zajac centering Stafford and Blake D1: Greene and Commodore Just thinking about the ridiculous talent we've had at UND. There are a lot of GMs who would happily take those 8 guys and build a team around them. Quote

MissSioux85 Posted March 1, 2011 Posted March 1, 2011 Jonathan Toews is the NHL's #1 Star of the Month for February http://www.nhl.com/ice/news.htm?id=554691&cmpid=nhl-rxl-twt Quote
Frozen4sioux Posted March 2, 2011 Posted March 2, 2011 Jonathan Toews is the NHL's #1 Star of the Month for February http://www.nhl.com/ice/news.htm?id=554691&cmpid=nhl-rxl-twt Watching Toews skate circles around the wild on Monday, was amazing. He looked better in every way than every player on the ice and the commentators seemed to agree that with Crosby out Toews was arguably the best player in the NHL right now and I say they were right.

He looked better in every way than every player on the ice and the commentators seemed to agree that with Crosby out Toews was arguably the best player in the NHL right now and I say they were right. He is the best two-way forward in the game right now, no doubt...he can score, set up, win big draws, win battles down low, never out of position defensively. Quote
Big A HG Posted March 3, 2011 Posted March 3, 2011 Jonny Toews just said "F THIS, I'LL DO IT MYSELF." Captain Serious scored a pair of goals in another Hawks victory (First Star). He has a multipoint game in 5 of his last 7 games (garnering a point each of the other two), and the Blackhawks have gone 6-1 in that stretch. 1 Quote
hrkac Posted March 4, 2011 Posted March 4, 2011 Zach Parise on with Joe Anderson on ESPN1500 here in Minneapolis right now. Talking skating with his skating coach and his first day back on the ice today. here's the website for those who want to check out the book. lots of former Sioux players attended her camp. what's up with Stafford wearing the "M" jersey- Lucia model camp..? wtf?? c'mon, Drew. http://www.proedgepower.com/ Quote
Goon Posted March 4, 2011 Posted March 4, 2011 This has a Fighting Sioux flavor to it... Kovalchuk's 22nd of the season and eighth winner was set up by a great steal by Travis Zajac deep in the Tampa Bay zone. He intercepted a pass by defenceman Matt Smaby in the right circle and found Kovalchuk between the circles for a snap shot that he launched falling to the ice. Quote
RedFrog Posted March 5, 2011 Posted March 5, 2011 Zajac w/ 2/3 of a Gordie Howe hat trick tonight ... 1 goal and 1 fighting major...just missed out on getting the assist as he was on the ice for Kovalchuk's OT game winner. He would have had the 3rd assist I believe. Toews also continues his tear as he scores the first goal in the Blackhawks game v Carolina. Quote
Big A HG Posted March 5, 2011 Posted March 5, 2011 Like RedFrog said, Toews scored a goal, but was only the third star of the game. Not to be outdone, former Sioux and current Blackhawks teammate Ryan Johnson, also had a goal, and earned SECOND star honors. Toews who? Quote
redwing77 Posted March 5, 2011 Posted March 5, 2011 DaveK can have Crosby. I'll take Toews. Seriously, I know Crosby is injured but there is NO ONE playing better than Toews right now. Quote
Big A HG Posted March 6, 2011 Posted March 6, 2011 Whos' more in beast mode right now? Toews or Frattin? Quote
siouxhockeygirl14 Posted March 6, 2011 Posted March 6, 2011 Whos' more in beast mode right now? Toews or Frattin? I would say they're even Quote
dagies Posted March 7, 2011 Posted March 7, 2011 http://undhockey.areavoices.com/ Only twice in the last decade has the WCHA scoring champ and goaltending champ come from the same team. CC Quote
fargosioux Posted March 7, 2011 Posted March 7, 2011 http://undhockey.areavoices.com/ The last UND combo to do it was Jeff Panzer and Karl Goehring in 2000. Proving once again that Panzer was robbed! 2000. Good omen! Quote
yzerman19 Posted March 8, 2011 Posted March 8, 2011 NHL.com has a new history will be made about wishes and it shows old video of a young Jonny Toews...pretty cute Quote

Big A HG Posted March 9, 2011 Posted March 9, 2011 Have you heard of the Geoffrions? Blake, who finished his career last year at Wisconsin with a Hobey Baker trophy to his name, was always touted because of his long lineage of hockey background he grew up from. His father and grandfather both played in the NHL. What does this pertain to the Sioux? Everyone knows Brett Hextall's father is the legendary goaltender, Ron Hextall. Also, most of you know that Brett's great-uncle Dennis played for the Sioux himself, among many NHL teams in his lengthy career. Not many people, around these parts anyways, know that Brett's own lineage goes much farther...even farther than the Geoffrions. Beyond Brett, Ron, and Dennis, there was another...Bryan Hextall Jr. Bryan was the father of Ron Hextall, and was Dennis' brother. Bryan put up some very nice numbers in an NHL career that covered nearly a decade. Still not satisfied? There was yet another Hextall in the equation...Bryan Hextall Sr. Bryan Sr is the great-grandfather to Brett, grandfather to Ron, and father to Bryan Jr. and our own Dennis Hextall. Not only that, Bryan Sr. is a member of the Hockey Hall of Fame. So, if Brett plays even one minute of NHL hockey one day, he will continue a lineage of four generations of NHL players that spans just about a century, with a great-uncle that had a lengthy career himself, to boot. I thought it was an interesting bit of info... Quote

If you haven't seen it - it's a must watch. And no - I'm not comparing that family to the Hextall's, just comparing reading their family trees and trying to keep everything straight! Quote
