PCM Posted November 15, 2002 Posted November 15, 2002 There's lots of interesting news in Virg Foss's column in the Herald today. 1. Blais thinks that he might want to stay at UND longer than 10 years. 2. Herb Brooks says he had a lot to do with Zach Parise coming to UND. 3. Sidney Crosby, the Shattuck-St. Mary's player billed as the next Gretzky, will be "unofficially" visiting Grand Forks this weekend. 4. There might be a Sports Illustrated reporter here to do a story on Zach. Oh, there's also a story about the UAA series. Brad Berry was on the radio this morning talking about how terrible the ice was last season for the UAA series. He says that it's now "the be-all and end-all" of ice sheets. No more blaming it on the ice. Quote
dagies Posted November 15, 2002 Posted November 15, 2002 That is great news that they have the ice figured out. teams should be able to skate on good ice. Big news in Virg's column today, for sure. Too much to hope that Crosby goes the college route. Maybe we should ask Herbie to consult again like he did with Parise! Quote
Goon Posted November 15, 2002 Posted November 15, 2002 2. Herb Brooks says he had a lot to do with Zach Parise coming to UND. I suppose the Gophers fan will be calling for Brook's head now after seeing that in the press. In fact a few of them are a little sensative about not getting him... Quote
jimdahl Posted November 15, 2002 Posted November 15, 2002 I suppose the Gophers fan will be calling for Brook's head now after seeing that in the press. In fact a few of them are a little sensative about not getting him... I like the discussion on prideonice on how Parise really went to North Dakota because in North Dakota he stands out as a superstar, but in Minnesota he would've just been another player on a team full of stars. The thing that should really burn them up is Herb Brooks actual reasoning (he didn't just say "go to ND"): Quote
sprig Posted November 15, 2002 Posted November 15, 2002 THe Sonmor/Nanne bus better get on the road immediately to visit Herb. Have to go check POI to see if this stuff has made it there yet Quote
U2Bad1 Posted November 15, 2002 Posted November 15, 2002 I read that herb brooks quote in the newspaper too. First, i figured that he probably just said something about choosing the best school hoping he would pick U of M...... but when he said "and that was north dakota " specifically, i was floored beyond belief. I couldn't get this sh*t eating grin off of my face. Quote
U2Bad1 Posted November 15, 2002 Posted November 15, 2002 Didnt take very long for the thread to pop up on POI.http://www.prideonice.com/chat/viewthread.php?thread_id=4036&sec_id=1 Im usually not one to gloat, but this is just too funny. Quote
U2Bad1 Posted November 15, 2002 Posted November 15, 2002 Now they are saying over there how they feel bad parise didnt go to U of M because the gophers have a better chance of winning a national championship during the years he is in college. According to one poster the gophers are going to be unstoppable. Quote
elmduf Posted November 16, 2002 Posted November 16, 2002 Here is Herb Brooks quote from the Herald, "I told him since he was the best player, he needed to go to school with the best tradition and facilities and coaching staff, Quote
