Blackheart Posted February 3, 2011 Posted February 3, 2011 i guess i get confused on this then. its okay to tell people that "someone" told them he was doing better and blah blah blah but someone (me) gets blasted for posting an opinion (based on past indiscretions from the hockey players) on what he thought might have happened. i guess some people cant take the bad with the good So you're saying someone posting 'information' they have allegedly heard from a credible source is the same as you posting an opinion? Are you seriously surprised that you are getting blasted? I'm not saying their information is 100% accurate but it certainly carries more weight than someone saying "this is what I THINK happened"... Am I missing something here?
NorthDakotaHockey Posted February 3, 2011 Posted February 3, 2011 All I know and believe on this issue is as follows: 1. Danny was taken to the hospital for frostbite. Most likely a serious case, or a cautious reaction to the same. 2. Danny and his family wish privacy on the issue. There has been no other official word. 3. Official word will come in due time, and will come from authorized sources. 4. Until that time, Danny will not be in the lineup and there is hole to fill in the lineup. 5. There are several plenty talented young hockey players who are chomping at the bit to step in and and step up for however long Danny is out. These kids will step up. 6. This team could well use Danny for the stretch run. This said, injuries and incidents happen on and off the ice that take players out of lineups. Happens all the time. To alot of good teams. 7. This team will be just fine without Danny for as long as it is without Danny. One player does not a team make. 8. Number 8 is coming real soon. Enjoy the rest of the season boys or girls. Danny get well. Danny be damned. This is going to be my last wasting of time on the Danny Boy matter. 1
siouxkid12 Posted February 3, 2011 Posted February 3, 2011 So you're saying someone posting 'information' they have allegedly heard from a credible source is the same as you posting an opinion? Are you seriously surprised that you are getting blasted? I'm not saying their information is 100% accurate but it certainly carries more weight than someone saying "this is what I THINK happened"... Am I missing something here? no, i'm not surprised and like i said i expected to get blasted by people; but when we all know he lost his shoe in a snowbank taking a short cut you start to wonder, especially with all the run-ins the team has had with the law the past few years that involves alcohol. in the end its a forum and people can have logical discussions on here but people have to remember that since these players play for a high profile hockey program they will be under scrutiny all the time. so when a good story is reported they better be prepared to handle a story like this where there are a lot of unanswered questions. its hard to believe people that stick up for him and say alcohol wasn't involved when not only kristo but the team has a history of alcohol related run-ins with the law. all i am saying is people need to stop having this mentality that the sioux never do anything wrong. this wouldnt even be that big of a deal if people didnt take it so personally. on a side note do you think that hak would rat out his own player to the media if he was drinking underage? if he did that wouldn't he be opening a can of worms for not only kristo but the other guys who either drank or supplied the booze? just a thought....
Runninwiththedogs Posted February 3, 2011 Posted February 3, 2011 Forbort is going home to play for the Bulldogs! He said goodbye this week? Crap! My sister's cousin's friend's mom heard that we might get runningwiththedogs in a trade for Forbort I guess...don't quote me though... I do have four years of eligibility! It'll be like... The Natural 2. Or, more accurately, Rudy 2: Rudy's Revenge. A slasher flick. 1

After reading these posts the last couple of days, the only thing missing is Jerry Springer commenting on what happened or being abducted by aliens story!
The Sicatoka Posted February 3, 2011 Posted February 3, 2011 You know what is sad? A Bueller reference means you are old for posting it, and I am old for understanding and laughing at it... It is always good form to post quotes from a movie where a main character wears a hockey jersey.
jimdahl Posted February 3, 2011 Posted February 3, 2011 UND Press Release: Update on Kristo St. Paul, Minn. - Feb. 3 - University of North Dakota hockey player Danny Kristo remains in fair condition at Regions Hospital in St. Paul, Minn. Kristo, who is suffering from frostbite on the toes of his right foot, maintains full use of all of his extremities and is in the early stages of recovery. "I'm doing fine, I'm planning on recovering as safely and as quickly as possible," Kristo said. "I'm just trying to get better day by day. I'm doing better today than I was yesterday and I was doing better yesterday than I was the day before. I'm feeling a lot better than I was the first two days. "I definitely feel fortunate, I definitely feel lucky. I want to say thanks to the fans and friends and family members who have prayed for me." Said Kristo's father, Mark Kristo: "Our family wants to express our sincere gratitude for all of the thoughts and prayers from his friends, supporters and the Sioux family during these past few days." After being discharged from Regions Hospital, Kristo is expected to remain at his parents' home in Eden Prairie, Minn., for continued treatment before returning to Grand Forks. 1

Unless you absolutely know alcohol was involved, then it is wreckless to make that assumption. Whether or not you are correct is irrelevant...people are more concerned about Kristo's health than what lead to this incident, and that IMO is why you are getting bashed. The truth will come out and Kristo will ultimately have to pay for his actions. To answer your question, I doubt Hak would 'rat him out' to the media. Hakstol likes to handle his team issues in-house from what I've seen.

It wouldn't shock me either way, but you seem adamant that it was and it seems to be your first thought. Most people on here are more prone to jump to conclusions toward the negative side, and I find that unfair. I don't think anyone here has the mentality that we never do wrong and if you honestly believe that, you're being kind of naive. Using the past indescretions as an example, why would any of us say the sioux do no wrong? That's COMPLETELY misguided. Hak said there were no rules broken, and I don't think he would say that if it wasn't true. He hasn't hid from the facts of all the other incidents over the years and I don't see him starting now. The fact of the matter is, the Kristo's requested privacy. UND is respecting those wishes and so should everyone else but apparently everyone else thinks it's their "right" to know, when it's not. Sorry, but there's more important things to worry about.

Sorry, but there's more important things to worry about. Agreed. I don't think it's suspicious at all that his family and he want privacy. Some people just don't want people knowing all their business, even if there's nothing shady about it. I know that it's now the trend to overshare every single piece of information about oneself, but not everybody wants that. He could have simply wanted privacy because he was freaking out, expecting the worst, and terrified he'd never play hockey again, and he didn't want to talk about it with everyone and their grandfather.

SIOUX HOCKEY PLAYER GETS FROSTBITE AFTER HE LOST HIS SHOE TAKING SHORT CUT THROUGH A YARD, ENDS UP AT REGIONS HOSPITAL! umm if you read something like this of course your would think alcohol was involved and if you didnt than you are the naive one my friend! if there are more important thing to worry about then why do you spend the time to respond to my post? and over the years of watching this board there are a lot of people on here that think the sioux are angels....they are the first to blast other teams/players but when one of "our" guys does something stupid they say its no big deal or lets wait and see what happened first before we jump to conclusion. do i really think hak would lie to us...prolly not but like i said earlier when you play a D1 sport like hockey and are drafted by an NHL team you darn right people believe they have the "right" to know! i also believe the Habs would have a right to know because they used a draft pick on him and they prolly want to know if this issue will affect his future and IF alcohol was involved then yes they have the right to know because they could see it as being a problem not as "kids just being kids" 2 3
Sioux-cia Posted February 3, 2011 Posted February 3, 2011 then this thread should be shut down because everything that is said is speculation. if you don't like peoples opinion don't read, its that simple. Nope. I will continue to be here, and call out the rumor mongers for what they are. What WOULD be simple is people would post what they know and not go off on 'he was drunk, he passed out in a snowbank, his face is frozen and is going to fall off, Altru had a frostbite unit, etc." Now that's simple!
Sioux-cia Posted February 3, 2011 Posted February 3, 2011 well that's good!...although it doesn't say if booze was involved or not No it doesn't and neither should anyone else.
Sioux-cia Posted February 3, 2011 Posted February 3, 2011 its hard to believe people that stick up for him and say alcohol wasn't involved ... AGAIN, no one said alcohol wasn't involved. What people are saying is no one knows if alcohol was or was not involved. To post that he was probably drunk is irresponsible regardless of the history of college students drinking alcohol underaged or not.
Sioux-cia Posted February 3, 2011 Posted February 3, 2011 I do have four years of eligibility! It'll be like... The Natural 2. Or, more accurately, Rudy 2: Rudy's Revenge. A slasher flick. I've seen you play hockey! You're able to get into tight spots that would stop most hockey players!! Being 4'2", has it's advantages!!!
