sioux rube Posted January 29, 2011 Posted January 29, 2011 After watching the links of his fights, I'm guessing he has a SUPER personality. Like this one. Quote

tho0505 Posted February 1, 2011 Posted February 1, 2011 Eye of the Tiger, baby! To bad we won't see any of that at UND. Can you imagine NCAA hockey allowing fighting? I hate to play the Sioux. We'd probably be to 18 NCs by now! Quote
thecircus Posted February 1, 2011 Posted February 1, 2011 tuesday n mattson 1g in win (ot game winnner) parks 1a in loss wednesday macmillin 1g, 2a in win odonnell 1g in win QUESTION......what is the highest jersey number a sioux player has ever worn?? i see odonnell wears 91. wonder if he will get that as i dont remember any high numbers and they just became way more popular with the crosby era. the great one started it but it didnt really catch on until this new era of the nhl I wonder if he will take Trupper's number next year. Seems logical. I personally don't like the high jersey numbers in the NCAA (ala Alaska). Quote
redwing77 Posted February 1, 2011 Posted February 1, 2011 Michael Parks - USHL Offensive POTW Oh, and Jordan Schmaltz is the Defensive POTW. Quote
tho0505 Posted February 1, 2011 Posted February 1, 2011 Someone posted that Zane Gothberg isn't getting much experience the other day, but he's actually spliting time. GP 15 W 10 L 5 GAA 2.07 SV% 91.2 Playing half the games and putting up dang good numbers I'd say. Quote
Just Curious Posted February 1, 2011 Posted February 1, 2011 Q & A with Grimaldi: http://unitedstatesofhockey.com/2011/02/01/weekly-american-prospect-update-q-a-with-rocco-grimaldi-usntdp/ Sounds like if the right team drafts him and wants him, UND may never see him. Quote

Great goal for him to have, but he will be at UND next year. Quote

I can see that interpretation but I wonder if he's just not keeping every avenue open. I don't think many players entering the draft would turn down an opportunity to go straight to the NHL rather than working their way up through the AHL/ECHL or Major Juniors or even College. However, those types of players are VERY rare. Grimaldi is a special player and he knows it. However, I don't think he's pulling a Jack Campbell here. He said "He'd like to..." or "I see myself..." Those are goal statements and not definitive. The only thing that is definitive is that, if Grimaldi turns out as special as he is projected to be, he will indeed be at best a 2 year player for UND.

Yikes, the comment about wanting to play in the NHL at 18 scares me. "My dream has always been to play at 18. That Quote

Oh he's not going to go to the CHL, thats not my worry. Its more that his goal is to get to the NHL ASAP. As he said "I want to get there as fast as possible." I guess it bothers me when players aren't too committed to UND and the culture. Granted Toews and Parise weren't here long, to think a recruit would come to UND for one season really bothers me.

MissSioux85 Posted February 1, 2011 Posted February 1, 2011 The quicker the better for me and I want to get there as fast as I can. That statement scares me a bit. However, he also had this to say about UND I felt I Quote

Granted Toews and Parise weren't here long, to think a recruit would come to UND for one season really bothers me. If a kid has the goal of getting to the NHL "as fast as he can" and chooses UND as a development step, it tells me he has an awfully high opinion of our program and culture. Quote

mikejm Posted February 1, 2011 Posted February 1, 2011 And coach. I thought we fired that slacker. Quote
The Sicatoka Posted February 1, 2011 Posted February 1, 2011 If Rocco Grimaldi was six inches taller I'd be very concerned. I'm guessing his drafting team will want to see how he performs against bigger, older players for at least one year. Quote
ScottM Posted February 1, 2011 Posted February 1, 2011 If Rocco Grimaldi was six inches taller I'd be very concerned. I'm guessing his drafting team will want to see how he performs against bigger, older players for at least one year. Agreed. Even smaller players like Gionta had to cut their teeth in the college and AHL ranks for awhile. The right college program (read: UND) is a cheap development team for the NHL. Quote
redwing77 Posted February 2, 2011 Posted February 2, 2011 On the other hand: It all depends upon who drafts Grimaldi. Some teams are better about the NCAA than others. Quote

I'm guessing his drafting team will want to see how he performs against bigger, older players for at least one year. No doubt. Rocco is like 2 inches shorter than Duncan, he'll be here for two years at least...I wouldn't be surprised with three. Unless he wants to play in the AHL instead, but even then he'd have to put on some muscle weight first. Quote
redwing77 Posted February 5, 2011 Posted February 5, 2011 Especially when the players go to the Gofers... Maybe.... But Calgary under Sutter's control? I don't think anyone is safe from the Sutters. Quote
