DAR Posted March 30, 2004 Share Posted March 30, 2004 I know this is early speculation but who replaces Parise on the top line next year and centers Bo and Murray. I think those two will stay on the top line. Genoway? Zajac, I know he is talented but that is a lot to put on the shoulders of a frosh. Will Blais try and get another late recruit to play center on the 4th line? We have a BIG hole to fill. It is still SO frusturating to think we lost to Denver, one of the most frusturating games I have ever watched. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jk Posted March 30, 2004 Share Posted March 30, 2004 I've been holding off on this kind of speculation about next year because we don't know who else will leave ... but since you started it: I've been thinking the spot is Genoway's to lose. He had a good year, played with the top guys on the PP most of the year, and played with Bochenski some. If he works hard over the summer, I think he is the #1 center.

fan1234 Posted March 30, 2004 Share Posted March 30, 2004 Stafford played center at Shattuck. He could easily make the transition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sicatoka Posted March 30, 2004 Share Posted March 30, 2004 Brady Murray played center at Salmon Arm (when he was the runner up for both league ROY and MVP). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoteauRinkRat Posted March 30, 2004 Share Posted March 30, 2004 Brady Murray played center at Salmon Arm (when he was the runner up for both league ROY and MVP). I've been thinking that Murray might make the transition to center, but too early to tell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAR Posted March 30, 2004 Author Share Posted March 30, 2004 I would think that either Stafford or Murray will have to play center, nothing against Genoway but I do not see him as a first line center. Man no Sioux Hockey for 6 months this really SUCKS! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sicatoka Posted March 30, 2004 Share Posted March 30, 2004 Genoway centered Bochenski from 12/27/03 to 1/24/04. The Sioux went 7-1-2 during that stretch. Bochenski had a 10-6-16 line and Genoway had a 1-11-12 line during those 10 games. Fylling played three games with them and went 1-2-3; Porter played the other seven and went 3-2-5. So, during those ten games with Genoway at center with Bochenski, the line produced 15 goals in 10 games. Colby can do the job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superman0099 Posted March 30, 2004 Share Posted March 30, 2004 Colby can do the job. Agreed. Genoway is solid center who has stepped up his playmaking significantly. He will play well with Bochenski and Murray, however Zajac is probably more of a dynamic player than Genoway and could quite possibly be a first liner in his rookie season. The Sioux have great talent at forward even without Parise. I would say that losing Greene or Jones right now would be more detrimental. We all remember what happend in '02-'03 when D. Hale was out, and we saw the same out of the gophers when they lost Ballard. Losing a teams primary defensemen (especially one as good as Greene or Jones or Ballard) hurts a lot more than losing a key first-line forward, IMO. The Sioux have the best young talent in the nation, and the next few years are going to be alot of fun to watch. Smaby, Porter, Stafford, and Murray are going to be even more effective next season, and the addition of players like Radke, Lameroux, Zajac, and Kaip bodes well for overall team improvement. Barring multiple departures of the defensive core, UND will not have anything close to a weak link next year, and personally, I only see them getting better.

Fedorov Posted March 30, 2004 Share Posted March 30, 2004 Does Murray stay with Bochenski, or do you have Murray with Stafford and Bochenski with Colby? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fighting Sioux Fan Posted March 30, 2004 Share Posted March 30, 2004 Bochenski, Murray, and Genoway - Bo scores the goals, Murray is the playmaker and Genoway grinds it out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BinaIsGod Posted March 30, 2004 Share Posted March 30, 2004 I wouldn like to see Colby, B-Bo, and Fylling, and then Murray, Zajac, and Stafford. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siouxhockey03 Posted March 30, 2004 Share Posted March 30, 2004 Here's my opinion on lines next year: Murray(So)-Zajac(Fr)-Bochenski(Sr) Stafford(So)-Genoway(Sr)-Spirko(Fr) Fylling(Sr)-McMahon(Sr)-Porter(So) Kaip(Fr)-Canady(Sr)-Massen(Sr) Sr:6 Jr:0 So:3 Fr:3 Jones(Sr)-Greene(Jr) Smaby(So)-Schneider(Sr) Radke(Fr)-Fuher(Sr) Bina(So)-Beaverson(Fr) Sr:3 Jr:1 So:2 Fr:2 Lamoureux Brandt Parise Ziggy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fedorov Posted March 30, 2004 Share Posted March 30, 2004 Can UND afford to keep four goalies? Will Foyt be gone if no defeseman leave early? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tboneund Posted March 30, 2004 Share Posted March 30, 2004 As long as all four goalies provide something for the team we can afford to keep them. We kept Sofie around so we might as well keep Ziggy around. I only say that becuase based on this year and what I have read about Lamoureux, Ziggy seems to be the odd-man out. (Or is it even-man out when there are four goalies?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redwing77 Posted March 31, 2004 Share Posted March 31, 2004 Will they all be on scholarship? I'm guessing no on the Scholarship for Ziggy. :/ And I think it would be: Bo-Genoway-Murray Porter-Stafford-Zajac Prpich-McMahon-Fylling Kaip--Massen-Spirko Defensive alignments are so tricky at the moment that I dare not try to figure them out. Look at our forwards, we're going to be DEEEEEP. Potentially, I even think we'll have more scoring next year than this year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilbur Posted March 31, 2004 Share Posted March 31, 2004 Ziggy is probably going to leave from what I've heard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhillySioux Posted March 31, 2004 Share Posted March 31, 2004 Obviously, this is very, very far down the road. But, the Ralph hosts a regional in 2006 and no one wants to be CC. Assuming Greene leaves before his senior year, doesn't the 05-06 defensive corps look a little thin, young after the first pair? Forwards Murray, Stafford, Prpich, Porter, Fabian, Zajac, Spirko, Kaip, Oshie?, Chorney?, Defense Radke Bina Smaby Lee? Beaverson Goaltender Lammy JPar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BinaIsGod Posted March 31, 2004 Share Posted March 31, 2004 hm, nobody is putting Oshie in the lineup, i think he might play over massen, seeing how much he played this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
