Ray77 Posted July 10, 2015 Posted July 10, 2015 Doesn't the captain get two days though? Not saying its coming here because I'm sure there would have been a press release but it's still technically possible. Yes, he does get 2 days. I agree - I would think that if he was bringing it to GF and the Ralph that it would have been announced and plans would have been made ahead of time. Quote
Emerald joker Posted July 10, 2015 Posted July 10, 2015 Doesn't it seem odd that he would be so close to GF but not make at least a brief stop? I don't get it. I've heard it has something to do with his brother not getting much playing time here, not sure though, just rumors Quote
Mariucci Posted July 10, 2015 Posted July 10, 2015 I've heard it has something to do with his brother not getting much playing time here, not sure though, just rumors If that's his reason that's pretty weak. And regardless of how much playing time his brother got, UND is still the place that helped him realize his dream of playing in the NHL. He should show appreciation for that. Quote
siouxkid12 Posted July 10, 2015 Posted July 10, 2015 I've heard it has something to do with his brother not getting much playing time here, not sure though, just rumors That is what it is, rumors. I'm not sure why people get all bent out of shape if someone doesn't bring the cup to Grand Forks. With the Cup being in Grand Forks last year, I can see why he would choose not to bring it back. These players have played many other place in their careers; Grand Forks/UND was just a stop along the way. How many players have gone through Shattuck's program and never brought it their? We as fans shouldn't hold anything against him because he didn't bring the cup here. 1 Quote

cberkas Posted July 10, 2015 Posted July 10, 2015 I've heard it has something to do with his brother not getting much playing time here, not sure though, just rumors I posted this on here in March. http://espn.go.com/blog/chicago/blackhawks/post/_/id/4687961/respect-for-toews-remains-great-at-north-Dakota Toews, who is in his eighth NHL season, looks fondly back at his time at North Dakota. He credited his college experience to assisting in his current NHL one. To hear his name was still being used within the walls of Ralph Engelstad Arena and he had a lasting legacy at the school was significant to Toews. “That means a lot,” Toews said. “I think those are important years in your career. For me, I had a great experience at North Dakota. We didn’t win a championship. We were very close two years in a row. That was a tough one to leave behind especially when you’re with great friends and good teammates. “I think for me it was a great place for me to go to and develop and step up and have a chance to play in the NHL. Obviously, it means a lot. I’ve had an eventful career so far, and they definitely have their place in the contribution to that.” 1 Quote

keikla Posted July 10, 2015 Posted July 10, 2015 I find it funny that people honestly think Toews is upset with UND (about his brother's playing time, no less), because he would rather take the Stanley Cup to sick kids in a hospital than to Grand Forks. Really?! 1 Quote

Popular Post burd Posted July 10, 2015 Popular Post Posted July 10, 2015 What he's doing with the Cup in Winnipeg is pure class. As a Sioux fan, it gives me more pride to see him doing that than parading it around the Ralph so we can have a jacked up fan experience. 10 Quote
Frozen4sioux Posted July 10, 2015 Posted July 10, 2015 The people loaning and crying and whining about Toews not bring the Stanley Cup to GF and laying it at their feet as he genuflects to their hockey wisdom are just absurd. Toews owes you nothing, it makes Sioux fans look terrible. I am referencing the facebook comments I've seen today....... 3 Quote
geaux_sioux Posted July 10, 2015 Posted July 10, 2015 He didn't play for the mob, he's not forever indebted to UND and its overzealous fans. Quote

UNDPUCKS Posted July 11, 2015 Posted July 11, 2015 Not being critical but I would love to see J. Toews and the Cup in ND. Stop by anytime Jonathan. Keep up the great career. Quote
snova4 Posted July 11, 2015 Posted July 11, 2015 What he's doing with the Cup in Winnipeg is pure class. As a Sioux fan, it gives me more pride to see him doing that than parading it around the Ralph so we can have a jacked up fan experience. Couldn't agree more. What he's doing with it, and the experiences he's making for the youth is infinitely more valuable than having three thousand fans line up and get five seconds to pose with the cup. Quote

Maddogg1971 Posted July 15, 2015 Posted July 15, 2015 Jonathan Toews is going to go down as one of the greatest all-around hockey players in the history of the game and probably the greatest captain of all time in the NHL. No question. Quote
George M. Bluth Posted July 17, 2015 Posted July 17, 2015 Per rotoworld.com: Nick Mattson has agreed to a one-year deal with AHL Rockford. The Rockford IceHogs are affiliated with the Chicago Blackhawks. Mattson was taken by Chicago with the 180th overall pick in the 2010 NHL Entry Draft. He went on to play for the University of North Dakota and is going pro after completing his senior year. He had four goals and 21 points in 33 games last season. Quote
Frozen4sioux Posted July 17, 2015 Posted July 17, 2015 A few alums still unsigned. D. Zajac Chris Porter Brock Nelson -Nelson rejected his Qualifying Offer from the Isles, but he has no arbitration rights, hopefully another team gives an offer sheet. Quote
Frozen4sioux Posted July 17, 2015 Posted July 17, 2015 Also Commie...... Not sure if he officially "retired" but I'd say it may be the end of pro hockey for our gingerfro'ed Favorite. Quote
