sappysieve Posted March 7, 2005 Share Posted March 7, 2005 I don't know how some of you guys can sit on here and say this kid isn't ready to play here next year? 100 points in a season? Setting up the game winner for all the marbles in double OT? Give me a frekin break!! I hope you all seen him at his best Sat afternoon when it was all on the line. If not, you missed a great player make one hell of a play. I hope the Sioux coaching staff can find a way to bring him in next year. There's some dead weight on that team and they need someone who can make big plays and contribute. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goon Posted March 7, 2005 Share Posted March 7, 2005 Ok, he is ready to play next season. However, its not up to us its up to the coaches. It doesn't even matter what we think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I suppose we might not include you in that statement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW Sappy, we all decided Parise and Bochenski needed another year of development in college, but they just didn't listen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skating and defensive positioning come to mind. The 100 points means absolutely nothing as most of them came aginst vastly inferior competition. Some of the moves that he attempted in the final would have landed him flat on his back in the WCHA. I trust that Hak knew what he was doing when he recruited him as a 2006. Besides, I don't think that offense will be the issue next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skating and defensive positioning come to mind. How can you cut anyone down for scoring 100 points? Think about it for a minute? That's a lot of points for anyone playing MN high school hockey in any section. I don't know that he was cutting him down. Oshie is an incredible player, but not many kids can make the transition from HS to college so quick. I think Oshie could, but I also think spending a year in the USHL will do more for him then coming straight to UND. Throughout the entire tourny he played very hard, I was most impressed with his backchecking and physical play. Like siouxnami said, there are parts of his game that need improvement. I look forward to seeing him play whenever he does come to UND. I will disagree that scoring 100 points means "nothing", it is an huge accomplishment, something very few HS players have done, especially with Warroads schedule, which wasn't a cakewalk.
