Goon Posted June 17, 2004 Posted June 17, 2004 You've convinced me. A steady round of that regimine, including the bike, for all of them! PS - GF is an nasty town to ride the bike in. You never get to coast (rest) because there's never a downhill. The roads are in terrible condition too. Lots of pot holes. Quote

You never get to coast (rest) because there's never a downhill. You forgot about having them bale some hay, perhaps the single most greatest conditioning activity one can do, plus, earn a little cash on the side. They be out in the field, having that hot sun beating down on them, stacking hay onto a wagon, or up in one of those old barns that are just a sauna in there stacking hay. Quote
PCM Posted June 17, 2004 Posted June 17, 2004 I'd recommend the same regime for Messrs. Oshie, Chorney and Miller. I'll try to do the steak and shake part of the plan, but I can't promise anything beyond that. Quote
#1siouxfan22 Posted June 17, 2004 Posted June 17, 2004 Isnt this thread about moreland not bike rides through the horrible gf roads. From what I've heard from ppl he is trying out for UND this year not playing for sioux falls. Quote
The Sicatoka Posted June 17, 2004 Posted June 17, 2004 OK, .... Moreland needs to get to the weight pile and on the bike* (avoiding GF potholes and we'll call avoiding the potholes "agility training"). Current and prospective members of the team would be well advised to do the same. The bike is great work for hockey players: legs and cardio. Matt Moreland, et al, are you listening? * Cross country tour with rolling land? Why not offer them the scenic beauty of a bike ride from Baldhill Dam to Kathryn? Or how about Bismarck to Washburn up 1804? A ride around the Bully Pulpit Golf Course at Medora? Quote
PCM Posted June 17, 2004 Posted June 17, 2004 Or how about Bismarck to Washburn up 1804? I made that ride in my younger days. I remember waving at Lewis and Clark, who admired the onion I wore on my belt. Everyone meet at James Massen's house and bring your bicycles. Quote

airmail Posted June 17, 2004 Posted June 17, 2004 You forgot about having them bale some hay, perhaps the single most greatest conditioning activity one can do, ... Screw hay. They can pick rocks. I've got about 10 acres that would keep these boys busy for a while. Hell, I'll even provide the steak. Quote
FrozenTundra Posted June 17, 2004 Posted June 17, 2004 I made that ride in my younger days. I remember waving at Lewis and Clark, who admired the onion I wore on my belt. Everyone meet at James Massen's house and bring your bicycles. Judging by the shape that Massen was in last year, he probably hasn't seen a bicycle in quite awhile. As for Moreland, I wish him the best because he is doing what he wants to do. However, my personal, uninformed opinion on him coming straight to college is that it is a mistake. He probably doesn't want to leave his friends (or girlfriend?). You know, behind every bad decision ever made by man, there was a woman that nudged him into it. Quote
jk Posted June 17, 2004 Posted June 17, 2004 I wish Moreland the best as well, but I agree with your sentiment. If he wants to get on with life and get college started, more power to him. But if he wants to play hockey at UND, his best bet is to go play 60+ games in the USHL against other future Division 1 players. ... I hope he proves us both wrong and excels at UND despite taking an unusual route. Quote
redwing77 Posted June 17, 2004 Posted June 17, 2004 Apart from medical reasons, is there any reasoning that would allow Moreland to redshirt his first year? As stupid as that sounds, if he isn't spending a year in Sioux Falls, then perhaps he can wait that way and get quality playing time without giving up a year of eligibility. Matt may be good, but he's not ZPar (meaning he's not so good that his draft position will make him a key part of leaving early). That is, if he's even drafted (don't know the whole deal with when you can be drafted or if Matt is past his draft year). Quote
spfreak Posted June 18, 2004 Posted June 18, 2004 2004 is Moreland's year of eligibility for the draft. He is not ranked though in the top 240 north american skaters (forwards and defensemen). Quote

The Sicatoka Posted June 18, 2004 Posted June 18, 2004 To me it is clear: The level of ND HS hockey competition doesn't prepare you for the rigors of the WCHA. Coming right to a top tier Division I program from high school is a rarity any more. The Zach Parises and Drew Staffords are exceptions, even from preps like Shattuck-St. Mary's. The best example I could give to try to convince someone: Quinn Fylling. He tried coming from the US National Development Team. He ended up leaving UND for a year to play in Sioux Falls. He's a much better player for it and able to contribute more at UND now. Quote
#1siouxfan22 Posted June 18, 2004 Posted June 18, 2004 Well maybe someone should give him a good talking to. Quote
redwing77 Posted June 18, 2004 Posted June 18, 2004 He's not terribly underweight. There's a defenseman going into SCSU who is 6'2 or 6'3 and less than 180lbs. Quote
spfreak Posted June 18, 2004 Posted June 18, 2004 He still needs to gain in the 10 to 15 pound range to be effective at the U with his style of play. Otherwise he will just get pushed around and out of the way. Quote
The Sicatoka Posted June 21, 2004 Posted June 21, 2004 Screw hay. They can pick rocks. I've got about 10 acres that would keep these boys busy for a while. Hell, I'll even provide the steak. A quick trip back to "conditioning techniques": Three words: retaining wall block. Oh my achin' everything .... Quote
redwing77 Posted June 25, 2004 Posted June 25, 2004 Heisenberg has Vandevelde and Moreland as 2005 recruits... Quote
Gaggle Posted July 24, 2004 Posted July 24, 2004 I don't know if this answers any questions but Matt Moreland is now on the UND online directory. Quote
U2Bad1 Posted July 24, 2004 Posted July 24, 2004 I don't know if this answers any questions but Matt Moreland is now on the UND online directory. Stalker !! Quote
#1siouxfan22 Posted July 24, 2004 Posted July 24, 2004 well if he doesnt make it he is still going to go to school their: from an unnamed source haha true story though. Quote
