UND-RedSox fan Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 My bad. I thought you were implying that you remembering it being before the semester. You were referring to the timing between the end of the semester and his announcement. Makes sense. I also think Jordan's situation was pretty unique being he was a first rounder and had a lot of options. Yeah. I think I was trying to convince myself that Jordan was thinking if he stuck around for another year then he could sign with whatever team he liked. Possibly the team he team he grew up cheering for that isn't too far from where he grew up and owns the rights to his brother haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stoneySIOUX Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 I'm just tired of the star players I think a team of Gaarders & Generals type players would have better odds of a Championship Next year's team would have NO odds of a championship without potential star players. No Boeser + no Wilkie + no Gersich + no Tomek = no chance .... Not having good players would only hinder us. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sicatoka Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 Is there a link for that? Yup: http://www.almanac.com/ Folks aren't correlating Hitchcock's contract extension yesterday with this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siouxkid12 Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 Semester has been over for 2 weeks. Those announcements tend to be made immediately after the semester ends since they likely have had their mind made up for months. Zane's announcement seems to be a normal time frame, but Jordan's seems longer than normal. Maybe I'm just not remembering the time frame others used correctly. maybe he was seeing what the Blues were going to do with Hitchcock.... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OshieRoll Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 It seems like people have turned their attention to blaming Toews/Oshie/Parise/Nelson/Schmaltz and so on for us not having a recent natty because Hak is no longer here. Pretty pathetic if you ask me. We have always had a good mix of stars and blue-collar guys. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tnt Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 I don't agree with Fetch on a team full of the Gaarder types, but it will be interesting to see if any of the young faces we have in the lineup, or some other underclassmen can have an impact down the stretch of the season like Gaarder did. Scoring goals during playoff hockey is a lot different than scoring during the regular season. Hopefully somebody steps up and keeps the ball rolling as a big game scorer.

SiouxScore Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 I'm just tired of the star players I think a team of Gaarders & Generals type players would have better odds of a Championship Is this serious? If so sorry but that will never happen here and I'm very glad we will continue to attract top prospects. If you want a team full of just grinder type players and no stars you better look somewhere else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoneySIOUX Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 Did Yale Union or Providence have lots of star players Lol no but you have any more examples? 3 total? That's it? BC had plenty, Wisconsin, DU, BU all did, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siouxstudent Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 Lol no but you have any more examples? 3 total? That's it? BC had plenty, Wisconsin, DU, BU all did, too. I would say Prov had some pretty high end players, Gilles, Gilmour, Jankowski I can think of off hand. I also remember Union's Gostisbehere was in my book a Star player as well. Yale I'm not sure but Id still prefer the high end talent all day every day with a good mix of hard working grinders. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoSiouxFan Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 Guys like Gaarder and Pattyn are gold and are a great mix with the top end talent. And in the case of those two, they were the heart and soul of our squad. Wish they both had a year left. BTW, did either of them get scholarship money their last year or two?

petey23 Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 Did Yale Union or Providence have lots of star playersby whose definition? Union had 2 of the best defensemen in the country and 1 of the best forward lines in the country.Providence had the guy coming into the year being lauded as the top goalie in the nation and they were preseason #4 or #5.Funny thing is that if the NCAA hadn't messed around with the pairings and locations their is about a 90% chance that Providence would have been 1 and done.

The Sicatoka Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 by whose definition? Union had 2 of the best defensemen in the country and 1 of the best forward lines in the country. I believe Union's goalie was the Team USA goalie at the most recent Worlds (US: bronze). Meh ... no stars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sicatoka Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 A team full of grinders will lose as soon as they give up the second goal. You need a mix of skills. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
