Diggler Posted November 14, 2003 Share Posted November 14, 2003 That doesn't sound like something Grant would say. If he did, he is essentially saying he will get revenge and try to injure Prpich in January. I really doubt it though. Grant is a good guy.

sprig Posted November 14, 2003 Share Posted November 14, 2003 According to R. Potulny's account, he injured it fighting for the puck while being checked along the boards, when his skate stuck at the same time he tried to turn. Not the result of a hit at all, according to him. Probably something someone watching the game even noticed, since he continued playing and played the next day also. And I agree with dagies, why would the Sioux players single out the Potulny's for cheap shots because they are from GF. Have little doubt the fans would give them a bit of grief (as well as other gophers), but signs and taunts don't cause injuries, I don't think Dagies, would be interesting to see on the tape if Prpich was ever around R. Potulny on the ice, would guess it was minimal given the shadowing of Vanek. You'd think there would be a ruckus over this on POI already; someone had to hear it on the radio show, and, as yet, not a word? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I listened when Grant was on PA and Dubay and he made no mention of this at all. He was very cool and calm and talked about being outworked against the Sioux and how they need to step it up this week against Bucky.

Hopefully it was just a "radio bit" that was misunderstood. Otherwise, January's visit to the Ooochie could get ugly! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greyeagle Posted November 14, 2003 Share Posted November 14, 2003 1. This kind of reaction does not fit Grant's SOP. 2. Right now, GP is more POed at his own team's performance and future. 3. As someone mentioned, the injury was caused in a fight for the puck - this is straight from RP I would guess someone is trying to get Sioux fans dander up.

ScottM Posted November 14, 2003 Share Posted November 14, 2003 I agree the Sioux players have little reason to single Grant or Ryan out, their dad's insipid whining notwithstanding. I doubt Grant would say anything like that, especially when he knows it would end up in front of Prpich in January. He's a pretty solid guy who knows his role as a leader, witness his scoring first on Saturday. He's more likely to rip his own team, as a good captain would, than getting our guys more pumped for the rematch in January. (Especially since he won't be around to defend his brother next season if the games did get ugly over something like this.) Moreover, if Ryan has a good idea of when/how it happened and it was the result of a legitimate scrum along the boards, this is probably more BS than anything. I'm still curious why he played Saturday, unless the Friday injury was exacerbated somehow Saturday. As far as Nanne: Hey, Louie! Looks like your Caddy, with its left blinker flashing all day, didn't get to Faribault fast enough ... maybe you should climb off Sid's lap for once and get in the game.

The Sicatoka Posted November 14, 2003 Share Posted November 14, 2003 I don't know if any of this is true or not, but, either way, the wise don't "go after" Mike Prpich. He can, uh, let's just say, take care of himself. Signed, Marco Peluso Minnesota-Duluth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sioux fan in phoenix Posted November 14, 2003 Share Posted November 14, 2003 Might not be long until we have a goaltender one to talk about. I don't know why at this point, unless you're referring to the situation next year & the logjam of goalies we'll have then. But then again, Sioux could start out 20-0 & there would always be the possibility of a controversy...Human nature, perhaps... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next year does scare me though, we half of the roster being goalies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smoggy Posted November 14, 2003 Share Posted November 14, 2003 Why would Prpich care if Ryan came here or not. Prpich isn't from GF. A lot of Sioux fans secretly cheer for the P brothers. Even if their family hates everything about the Sioux. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
