siouxfan512 Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 For those of you that have followed Aaron Dell's progress this year, he has been pretty stellar; not to mention showcasing some impressive boxing skills. Who knew? Where would UND be is Mr. Dell had decided to stay at UND. No doubt we have had some impressive showings from both Gothberg and Saunders, but neither had the experience that Aaron had compiled through his years at UND. I tend to believe that with that type of goaltending we would be running away with the conference. I definitely see us winning the majority of the 7 ties that we currently have. Thoughts??

Depends on whether we got the Dell from the beginning of last season or the playoff-push Dell. One was terrible and one was decent. Either way, I don't see our record being much (if at all) better than it currently is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiouxTupa Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 I'm going to see Dell tonight when Allen plays the Rapid City Rush. Will be wearing my Sioux jersey in support (despite Allen being the away team). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siouxfan512 Posted March 8, 2013 Author Share Posted March 8, 2013 I agree with this.... I'd take the Dell from THIS year! Everything I have seen about him has been impressive. Thats not to know Zane or Clark, they are doing a good job, but it would have been great to see Aaron back for another season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dead Yedi Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Could you imagine if Brock Nelson stuck around for this year. I'd rather have Brock then Dell (if I had to choose one). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather have Brock then Dell (if I had to choose one). 100% agree, obviously having both could really set this team apart, but Brock would have really added that huge scoring punch. Hard to imagin the sioux having tied 7 games if we had Brock on the ice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InHeavenThereIsNoBeer Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 You could play the 'What If' game every year but it just sucks to think about. We could have Brock, Stefan Mateau, JT Miller, Kristo, Knight, and Grimaldi on the same college hockey team. Now that would be a ridiculous level of talent.

tho0505 Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 I'm actually pretty surprised we're as high up in the WCHA as we are without Dell and Brock. Dell brought consistancy night in and night out, we'd easily have 6 more wins win Dell in net. Brock would've added another 20 goals.

geaux_sioux Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Dell sucked last year until he pulled his head out of his ass late in the year. Ill take Gothberg and his upside. Sucks that Brock didn't stay though.... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fun to think about all of that potential together. I would love to see UND get a group of talent like we had with the DOT line. How did we not win a title back then. Tough to get that much high end talent together on a college team though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geaux_sioux Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 What if game eh? 05-06 team could have featured Parise and Stafford in addition to Toews Oshie Zajac Spirko Porter Kozek with a defense of Jones Chorney Finley Lee Smaby Radke with Parise in net and JPL as backup. Could you imagine a top line of Toews Parise and Stafford or Oshie? The DOT line would have had nothing on the POT line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
