siouxperhockeyfan1429 Posted July 25, 2004 Share Posted July 25, 2004 Fabian did fine last year. He probably could've done some damage to the other teams, if Blais would have let him play more. Remember that hat trick he had against MSU? Then again, their goalie wasn't too great. We won that game 10-1. yeah i guess you're right he really didnt get too much of a chance right away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spfreak Posted July 26, 2004 Share Posted July 26, 2004 i agree. genoway is a great talent. he didn't get the accolades that bochenski and parise did, but their numbers were in another league (amongst the hobey high numbers). i think genoway will center the first line on starting night at the ralph. i think spirko's size and college inexperience will take a little adjustment (the first weekend anyways). 1-Murray - Genoway - Bochenski 2-Zajac - Stafford - Porter 3-Prpich - McMahon - Fylling 4-Kaip - Spirko - Massen with 2 and 3 interchangable depending on when the opposing team's first line will play. let's hope that all line adjustments will be made early and all lines will fire every night unlike a couple of years ago when lines were still being shuffled going into the ncaa's before that humiliating loss to ferris state. i hope massen can turn up his game to the levelof his sophomore year. this should be an incredible team this year with many highlights from many players. Zajac is a center so he would be center on the second line and Stafford on the left side if that line happened because Stafford is a left wing. Spirko wouldn't be a center on the fourth line but Kaip is a natural center so that would change around. Here is how I think the lines will be 1-Murray-Zajac-Bochenski 2-Stafford-Genoway-Fylling 3-Prpich-McMahon-Porter 4-Spirko-Kaip-Massen/Fabian However Murray could centerBochenski and Stafford on the first line as Murray has played center at the Kings prospect camp and they project him as a center (he has also played center before I believe). That would move Zajac down to centering the second line with Genoway moving to the left side. D-Men 1-Jones-Greene 2-Schneider-Radke 3-Smaby-Fuher 4-Bina-Marvin/Foyt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dagies Posted July 26, 2004 Share Posted July 26, 2004 Everybody's neglecting Canady. Brian had a much better year last year. He may yet be a real factor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PCM Posted July 26, 2004 Share Posted July 26, 2004 Zajac is a center so he would be center on the second line and Stafford on the left side if that line happened because Stafford is a left wing. Here is how I think the lines will be 1-Murray-Zajac-Bochenski 2-Stafford-Genoway-Fylling 3-Prpich-McMahon-Porter 4-Spirko-Kaip-Massen/Fabian Stafford is a right wing. Your second line has two right wings and your third line has two left wings. That's not to say that your line prediction might not be accurate. However, Blais usually tried to avoid playing righthanders on the left and lefthanders on the right. Whether Hakstol is the same way remains to be seen.

morley Posted July 27, 2004 Share Posted July 27, 2004 Well, if PCM's story on USCHO about Bochenski is true. I"m guessing all of your guys line combos are wrong. Personally I hope PCM is wrong, but for some reason that rarely is the case. My lines are (without Bo) Murray-Genoway-Stafford Porter-Zajac-Fylling Prpich-McMahon-Canady/Fabian (checking line) Spirko-Kaip-Massen until any of these three show they deserve better D Jones-Greene Schnieder-Radke Fuhr-Smaby Bina-Marvin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PCM Posted July 27, 2004 Share Posted July 27, 2004 Personally I hope PCM is wrong, but for some reason that rarely is the case. It's not about me being right or wrong. I simply quoted what Blais told me. That being said, I think your Bo-less lines are pretty good. I'm hoping that Massen will return to form for his senior season and move up to the second line, enabling the Prpich-McMahon-Fylling line to stay together. Over the weekend, I got my Sioux hockey fix by watching a tape of the 2003 game of UND at Minnesota. The Sioux won 4-2. Massen was on the first power play and on the second line with Lundbohm and Spiewak. Massen had an assist on a power play and played well throughout the game. And this was against a team that went on to win the national championship. I'd forgotten how good James could be when he plays well. Without Bochenski, the Sioux will need him to step up next season.

dagies Posted July 27, 2004 Share Posted July 27, 2004 I agree, PCM. James showed some real skill his sophomore year. If he can put last year behind him and build on that sophomore year, he could go a long way towards filling the scoring void left by Bo.

UNDProud Posted July 27, 2004 Share Posted July 27, 2004 Ok, have to throw my two cents in also. Stafford, Murray, and Genoway Porter, Zajac, and Spirko McMahon, Pripch, and Fylling (too good to split up) Kaip, Massen and Fabian (Canady really needs to step up his game to be in the lineup) D Schneider and Bina Jones and Greene Radke and Fuher (Smaby would be put in with whoever's partner is not performing.) Goaltending BRANDT!! Lamoureux as back up. (With Zach gone, I don't think Jordan will get the playing time) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAR Posted July 27, 2004 Share Posted July 27, 2004 Give me a break Bina is not going to play over Smaby!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMT Posted July 27, 2004 Share Posted July 27, 2004 Goaltending BRANDT!! Lamoureux as back up. (With Zach gone, I don't think Jordan will get the playing time) Jordan Parise's playing time had nothing to do with Zach being here. It may have something to do with him being here, but not his playing time. I don't have his stats right now (PCM has a nice chart) but his performance is why he plays.

Goon Posted July 27, 2004 Share Posted July 27, 2004 (edited) Goaltending BRANDT!! Lamoureux as back up. (With Zach gone, I don't think Jordan will get the playing time) Its obvious your not too bright. Yikes. If you have half a brain you would know that Jordan played some good in goal last season. His brother being here or not being here will have no bearing on how much he plays this season. Its no conicidence that Brandt sat on the bench while Jordan played in the NCAA regional playoff. Why because Jordan was playing better than Brandt at that part in the season.

BinaIsGod Posted July 30, 2004 Share Posted July 30, 2004 Well, I personally wouldn't be surprised at all to see Stafford playing a lot of center this year. I think it's a possibility the lines could look like- Murray-Stafford-Porter (line 1) Spirko-Genoway-Zajac (line 1a) Prpich-McMahon-Fylling Kaip-Canady-Fabian Defense could be interesting, as I think Bina has the capability to jump in and replace anybody at any time if anyone starts to slip, and I don't think the coaches will hesitate to throw him in there. That being said, the D should look like this- Greene-Jones Schneider-Smaby Fuher-Radke Early in the season, I wouldn't be surprised to see a lot of Robbie, especially if Smaby or Fuher struggles at all in the defensive zone If Radke has a little trouble adjusting to D1 hockey, they might not play him every single game at the beginning of the season, to let him get a feel for the game. Goaltending is very tricky, as Brandt and Jordan did an excellent job last year, dispelling any doubts as to their capability as goaltenders, especially Brandt. However, I think the job is Phil's to win. If he can prove that he is capable of replacing either of the two incumbents, we should see a lot of Phillipe in the early goings of the season, at least splitting weekends with Jake or Jordan. Well, that's my two cents, any comments? complaints? I don't want to hear em!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UNDProud Posted August 2, 2004 Share Posted August 2, 2004 Ok already - stop with the emails!! Apparently I didn't come across successfully. I do think Jordan is a GOOD goalie, but I think that the constant switching between two for the past three years messed with their heads and with the changes this year, it will be very tough for Jordan mentally. I just wondered now that Dean and Zach were both gone if Brandt wouldn't get more time for this year, graduate then the job goes to Jordan.... Lamoureux will have to work for it to beat them out but it sounds like he stands a shot. As far as the defense, they are all VERY good but we can't consistanly play all of them so someone will be odd man out. In all reality I would guess it would change each game but with Bina being a GF kid, I am a little baised towards him and hope that he will get lots of playing time. Just because someone doesn't agree with my opinion doesn't mean you should be nasty... Chill out. This is supposed to be a discussion board, and we can all have our own opinion without someone going ballistic when you don't agree... Jeez, it's not like I am a gopher fan...

Jordan_Parise_FREAK! Posted August 2, 2004 Share Posted August 2, 2004 But still.... Jordan did very good last year- and all as a freshman! Don't freak out or anything, I'm just pointing it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UNDProud Posted August 3, 2004 Share Posted August 3, 2004 I think both Jordan and Jake did well. But I still think that the rotating did a number on both of them. I remember Brandt getting three shutouts in a row two years ago and then sitting on the bench for 3-4 games. It has to be hard to stay mentally alert if you are in that situation. I wonder if Dave will do the same thing or stick with one... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PCM Posted August 3, 2004 Share Posted August 3, 2004 I think both Jordan and Jake did well. But I still think that the rotating did a number on both of them. Jake and Jordan had no problem with the rotation. They were both willing to do what was best for the team, and that was playing the goalie who was playing best.

redwing77 Posted August 3, 2004 Share Posted August 3, 2004 With Bo gone, I think the lines will look different this year. I also read somewhere that Murray was going to try his hand at center. So, that being said, I am anticipating this line up. One disclaimer though: those players I list as wings are not particular to that side. So if I put a LW in a RW slot and vice versa, it was unintentional. Zajac-Murray-Stafford Spirko-Genoway-Porter Kaip-McMahon-Prpich Canady/Fabian-Massen-Fylling Greene-Jones Schneider-Radke Smaby-Fuher Bina-Marvin/Foyt Yeah, I put Massen in the lineup. I'm just not ready to give up on the kid yet. Last season on the ice it does seem like he lost some of his edge, but I think he will pull it together... or sit out the second half.

From what I have read, it appears that Bo isn't gone yet.The suspense is killing me, I wish we as fans could get some closure on this so we could move on knowing wether he is going to be with UND or not. Reading between the lines it seems that Bo hasn't got the contract he was looking for as of yet, maybe he is postioning himself through the media. I wonder if he has signed up for classes just in case he doesn't get the contract that he was looking for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should edit it to say "With Bo possibly leaving" instead of "With Bo gone" Nevertheless, I wonder if talks stalled and the big loser in this may be Bochenski. Bo wanting a contract, Ottawa offering what resources they are wiling to give to him and Bo's agent unwilling to compromise. Now, this is a big assumption, I know, but if it is true, Bo could be in trouble because the dry land conditioning should be starting very soon.

choyt3 Posted August 5, 2004 Share Posted August 5, 2004 Pretty sure Brandon hasn't been sitting around eating Krispy Kreme's all summer, if that's what you meant by that. If he hasn't signed by the time the rest of the Sioux team reports for conditioning, there's not really a reason for Brandon not to show up as well.

Because it seems if he was going ok, he might have been gone. Bo's not being gone isn't a bad thing I think. Also, Brandon is a 7th round draft choice, they aren't going to give him a hugh signing bonus. Not like they give 1st or 2nd rounders.

OETKB Posted August 20, 2004 Share Posted August 20, 2004 Things are a bit uncertain, so here is an attempt with Bo gone: Murray - Zajac - Stafford Porter - Genoway - Spirko Prpich - McMahon - Fylling Fabian/Canady/Marvin - Kaip - Massen I really like these lines.
