WHO WOULD YOU ADD?

[AZSIOUX]

Just for fun i'll list 10 former players from around the 2000 era to nowthat you could add to this years team. The point is to add a player and his style that we could use more than others and why they would help this current sioux team and maybe who you would pair him up with on this years roster?

please choose and explain why as well..........

i know the oshie,parise,toews ect.....would be the answers so i went with others than that obvious answers

or if you have a write in list him and explain why..............

side note - i love the make up of this current team and this is simply for fun to see fans opinions and thoughts on different styles

GO SIOUX

[AZSIOUX]

i went with jeff panzer. throw him in with gregoire and duncan and create a big time scoring line i thought maybe roche as well because of his offensive abilities but panzer was the choice

[redwing77]

Brian Lee

[AZSIOUX]

Brian Lee

works for me but i kind of left off all 1st round picks on purpose

[sioux7>5]

I think I would love to add Spirko. I loved his style of play and very few penalty minutes. I still think of the move he put on the gopher player at the Final 5, that player might still be looking for is jock strap.

[summy1977]

Spirko. Just wish he would have had a longer career here.

[UND2007]

Karl Goehring, even though hes not on the list, just because he was dominant

[AZSIOUX]

nice, i was gona add 2 goalies but figured they would be added anyhow like you did. karl was amazing

[Hale4David]

David Hale, mainly because I'd have to come up with a new screen name if I didn't vote for him. Kidding aside, I voted for Panzer because while it's been nice to see a little bit of scoring the past few weeks out of this years team having Panzer would defiantly help that to keep going.

If you ignore what they've become, and just focus on what they were at their best at UND, I'm drawn to Jeff Panzer. Panzer as a senior was a better college player, for me, than anyone at UND since. (If you can stand it ...) go back and watch the 2001 title game, where he must have set up 10 grade A chances. Always ahead of the play mentally, he won every race for the puck because he knew where it would be before most other guys, and he was faster than everyone else. On this list my runners-up would be Roche, who dominated so much in college, and Greene, who was physically in the wrong league, by a mile. If Greene hadn't played with one arm in the playoffs his last year, we might recall him differently and there might be another banner up.

Did I mention Panzer was faster than everyone? Sweater flapping in the wind faster.

[Goon]

I think Hands down pre-Parise in the 1997-2001 era Jeff Panzer was simply amazing.

I would put Jason Blake right behind him.

[nodak hockey fanatic]

it is hard to pass on panzer... but i like our forwards and the way we are playing. i think the piece we could really use is another puck moving dman who can transition out of our zone and be and offensive force, so i went with roche. my heart would have taken prp, but hextall is filling that role this season, and i loved greener, but with his size and new focus on obstruction, he might never leave the penalty box (he rarely did before, he was good for 2-3 crosschecks a game, but noone on the opposition would come in front of the net )

[Siouxmama]

I picked Greene for the big D in front of the net. He didnt take any crap from the other team either. But...he would have to work on those penalties.

[richthorpe]

I only saw Spirko play a few games, but he seemed like a STUD!!!

I too liked Brian Lee, us Sioux Fans though had it out for him since day 1 (Me Included) And am happy he is having success with Ottawa...

Go Sioux...

Rich T

[Windsor]

Even though he is not on the list I pick Kevin Spiewak.

[Goon]

he was good for 2-3 crosschecks a game, but noone on the opposition would come in front of the net

I used to remember him shattering those wood sticks in front of the net.

[Sodbuster]

You want a finisher, then Jeff Panzer is (was) your man.

[Snake]

Lee Goren, hands down. He was a gamer & wasn't afraid to get the "ugly" goals in front of the net.

My second choice would have been Roche.

[Big A HG]

Roche was my choice.

[Speez]

Even though he is not on the list I pick Kevin Spiewak.

I like your pick.

[UND2007]

How about David Hoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooogggsteen? Hes was a thunder bay BEAST

[dagies]

I like our forwards but there is ALWAYS room for Jeff Panzer on a team. The guy was that good, IMO.

Someone mentioned Spiewak. Panzer might have been the scorer but I'll take Spiewak on my team for an all around solid 2-way forward that you can depend on not to screw up with the puck, kill penalties and shut down the opponents top line. Not to mention score key goals against top goalies in the NCAA's. A key player on any team.

[Walsh Hall]

Spiewak was a nice player, but does not belong in this discussion.

I'm surprised that Goren and Roche aren't getting more attention. Roche commanded the game unlike few blueliners. I'd rank him in the top 5 d-men I've seen play the college game (and I've been around awhile.)

roche was almost my pick but went with the finisher. roche could do anythi out there. very talented

i agree with roche, which is why i picked him. and remember, it is who would you add to THIS team. as i said earlier, i think a blueliner like roche could be the piece that would put THIS team over the top. we have some balanced scoring even without the so called "blue chipper", good team defense, and a solid goalie (who will be great before long). a dman like roche may not get all the hype or media attention, but the importance of a player like that can't be overstated.
