Siouxman Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 I think Prpich gives Hextal a pretty good push in the entertainment area. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keikla Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 I think Prpich gives Hextal a pretty good push in the entertainment area. Agreed. I remember Brad once telling me that when Hextall first heard some of the things Prpich did (like the water bottle incident against Denver), he was in total awe. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yzerman19 Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 Archie...Archie...Archie... Entertainment off the chart...scored big goals...got in big fights...taunted the officials and the other team's bench...got the crowd going. He played 4 years at UND and won a title in 1982, logging a regular shift as a freshman. In the 84-85 season he averaged almost a goal a game and almost 5 PIMs per game This thread is not the most skilled player in UND history, nor is it the greatest single season. For my dollar, Archie was the man. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UNDBIZ Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 I think Prpich gives Hextal a pretty good push in the entertainment area. Not even competitive. Prpich wins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yzerman19 Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 Has there ever been a more talented top dpairing in college hockey than James Patrick and Craig Ludwig??? Think about the NHL careers of those two Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackheart Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 Something tells me that even if the 86-87 team had Wayne Gretzky, they still would have lost that game against American International. If they lost that game even with just the roster they had, I'm not sure anyone else would have helped.i remember Hrkac taking a really lazy/bad penalty that game...the whole team seemed like they were skating in mud...must have been a hell of a party the night before.

Frozen4sioux Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 The way I see this the question is somewhat null in the realm of interpretation. really there are three distinct meanings that can be taken to the question and those can be answered separately as opposed to the ambiguous "greatest Sioux" debate. 1. Who is the best hockey player to ever play in the program. TOEWS.... Belfour 1st runner up 2. What player had the single greatest season in the program. HRKAC Joyce 1st runner up 3. What player had the overall greatest career in the program This defined by BigA's post would be distinctly different than the other 2. TAYLOR Ben Cherski 1st runner up.

I also wonder if you have to go by era as well. During the 1970 and 1980, the game was a lot different than it is now. You could almost go 3-4 different era's.

UND's all-time scoring leader played on some pretty bad teams,...how good would he have been on any of the powerhouse teams of the 80s or 90s?

SiouxForever Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 If you win a Hobey you need to be in the discussion. If you want to talk about consisdancency Ryan Duncan was that. Guy is a true example for younger and upcoming Sioux players on what it takes to play at the college level. A great player and very well respected.

The Sicatoka Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 Dixon Ward remains UND's only 100-100 guy (110G, 109A, 219 points). The way things are going with scoring in college hockey, that one is going to stand for quite a while. Ed Belfour was playing a different game than everyone else on the ice. This has me thinking about an all-time 20-man line-up card (12F, 6D, 2G). That's brutal ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tnt Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Not only was he a great Sioux hockey player, Dixon was a helluva good guy off the ice too. Hopefully the Sioux can land another standout from Leduc, Alberta in Tyson Jost. I'm sure they must be interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
