AZSIOUX Posted March 16, 2010 Author Posted March 16, 2010 hf sabres prospects 16. Bradley Eidsness, Goalie 6'0" 173lbs 5th Round, 139th selection 2007 June 2, 1989 Eidsness is having a very good season for the UND Fighting Sioux. In his sophomore year, he is second in all of college hockey in games played and seventh in save percentage with a .914. On March 12, in the first game of the WCHA playoffs, Eidsness made 27 saves to record his second shutout of the season against Minnesota. Eidsness is proving to be another great value goaltender for the Sabres. Between he and Knapp, the Sabres look to have a solid stable of young goalie talent for years to come. Quote
AZSIOUX Posted March 21, 2010 Author Posted March 21, 2010 hf montreal prospects 2. (10) Danny Kristo, LW, 19 Acquired: 2nd round, 56th overall, 2008 In 2009-10, Kristo has enjoyed no shortage of success. As a 19-year-old freshman, Kristo has been an impact player with the University of North Dakota. And on the international stage, the Edina, Minnesota native represented his country in noteworthy fashion, one of only a handful of returning members of the United States' WJC squad. He scored five goals and three assists en route to a gold medal. With the Fighting Sioux, Kristo has scored 14 goals and 20 assists in 38 games. Kristo looks comfortable, excelling at each level he plays. He has excellent speed, shoots and passes equally well, and works hard on every shift. He was named the WCHA rookie of the year. Quote

UND85 Posted March 23, 2010 Posted March 23, 2010 Tim's Corner great idea to have th do these bits. love hearing old stories and his take with how many sioux hockey games he has called in his day!! I spoke with him (Tim) outside the X on Thursday night and told him how much I appreciate his coverage and the show he does. He was seemed really glad to hear that. UND is very fortunate to have him along with all the sports information dept. along with Brad from the Herald. Whenever I get a chance and run into these guys I let them know. They work very long hours to provide us with some great coverage, Quote

The thing I like about Brad is that he doesn't write a bunch of whiny ridiculous crap about the opposition teams the Sioux like some the other writers from the WCHA, he is professional unlike an unnamed Denver writer.

Will Chambers' head explode if DU doesn't make it out of their regional? They are a team of destiny, after all. Quote

Whenever I get a chance and run into these guys I let them know. They work very long hours to provide us with some great coverage, I was amazed at how far up in the X his booth is...it's gotta be tough to see a game from that high up, let alone call the game. I'd like to see a picture of the view from up there. Here's a couple pics showing his perch. In the wide shot, his booth is just to the right of the scoreboard, below the blue Oilers pennant (taken at 17mm). The close-up is taken at 200mm. Quote

I actually sat in that level during the Frozen Four at the X when the Gofers cheated to beat UMaine. You are pretty far away but you can see everything developing...former Badger Coach Jeff Sauer sat two chairs down from me...I wanted to ask him about his goon teams but thought better of it. Quote
Big A HG Posted March 24, 2010 Posted March 24, 2010 I wanted to ask him about his goon teams but thought better of it. So you did ask him then? Quote
AZSIOUX Posted March 25, 2010 Author Posted March 25, 2010 congrats kristo per brad Kristo named to all-CHN rookie team UND freshman Danny Kristo has been named to College Hockey News' freshman All-American team. The WCHA rookie of the year joins Alaska's Andy Taranto, Merrimack's Stephane Da Costa, Denver's Matt Donovan, Boston College's Brian Dumoulin and Colorado College's Joe Howe on the team. Kristo was the WCHA's rookie of the year. He currently ranks third on the team in scoring with 15 goals and 36 points. Quote
AZSIOUX Posted March 25, 2010 Author Posted March 25, 2010 16 reasons to cheer North Dakota Always a favorite program of mine with a terrific coach in Dave Hakstol. Another team that battled some adversity this season to get where it is. The Sioux have Ryan Malone Quote
nodak hockey fanatic Posted March 25, 2010 Posted March 25, 2010 probably been posted already, but a short ncaa tourney preview on nhl.com http://www.nhl.com/ice/news.htm?id=522534 i especially like the final statement in this paragraph... "The regional final should feature BC and the Fighting Sioux meeting for the seventh time in the postseason since 2000. Look for the highest scoring of the four regionals -- and the most intense play. No team in any post-season tournament plays with more snarl than UND." pretty good write up, especially for a non-college hockey site. but they did get one thing wrong as they have bc coming out of our region Quote

Of course they do. NHL.com's projected regional winners -- Boston College, Denver, St. Cloud, Miami. The Eagles are green on defense. "Our best hockey is in front of us," said Jerry York about his Eagles, who play four freshman defensemen. York references them as "the best surprise" on this season's talented team, which is led by senior captains and forwards Matt Price, Ben Smith, and Hockey East Tournament MVP Matt Lombardi, along with defenseman Carl Sneep and standout goaltender John Muse.

The Whistler Posted March 25, 2010 Posted March 25, 2010 I just found this from the article. Of course they do. Wow, they're going way out on a limb. They picked all the #1 seeds. Quote
yzerman19 Posted March 25, 2010 Posted March 25, 2010 Wow, they're going way out on a limb. They picked all the #1 seeds. SCSU is a #2 Quote
jodcon Posted March 25, 2010 Posted March 25, 2010 Wow, they're going way out on a limb. They picked all the #1 seeds. Except St. Clown, the one dog they should have buried. Quote
Big A HG Posted March 25, 2010 Posted March 25, 2010 I think SCSU will be tough. This is one of their best teams they've had in awhile, and they've had some decent ones in recent years. I can see them as a Frozen Four dark horse with good potential. Quote

Big A HG Posted March 25, 2010 Posted March 25, 2010 I guess they beat Wisconsin a week ago so it could happen again. Take away that 8-1 thrashing, and Lee playing like crap in the Final Five, they were a tough team for us as well. They have the scoring. They have good goaltending most of the time, and their defense is better than in years past. Plus, they didn't have Roe against us and their lines were a bit scattered at the F5. Quote
yzerman19 Posted March 25, 2010 Posted March 25, 2010 SCSU has 3 1985s on their roster...two of which have already turned 25. To put that in perspective, they are older than: Travis Zajac, Drew Stafford, Jon Toews, and TJ Oshie Quote
yababy8 Posted March 25, 2010 Posted March 25, 2010 I guess they beat Wisconsin a week ago so it could happen again. I watched the Final 5 semifinal game between Wisc and SCSU and I thought Wisc pretty clearly carried play. i thought SCSU might have milked the refs when they got the 5 min major. I think the SCSU player milked it anyway. i wonder what the stat is on game outcomes when you have to kill a 5 min major? I hope the Sioux stay out of the box in the regionals this weekend! Quote
The Whistler Posted March 25, 2010 Posted March 25, 2010 SCSU is a #2 My brains not working today. Quote
