LakotaNation Posted February 14, 2013 Posted February 14, 2013 To the post above. Would have been helpful if he would have added a few periods here and there. Hate when people write like that. Anyway, stupid decision. Quote
yzerman19 Posted February 17, 2013 Posted February 17, 2013 In the end, we are all in it for ourselves and those we care about and love...a kid gets frustrated and sounds off...not the biggest deal in the world. Quote
siouxforce19 Posted February 17, 2013 Posted February 17, 2013 In the end, we are all in it for ourselves and those we care about and love...a kid gets frustrated and sounds off...not the biggest deal in the world. I'm sorry, but I disagree with this attitude. A no-big deal attitude just sends a bad message. These things are important. It's important to teach young kids sportsmanship and respect. I liked this take: Chaska coach Dave Snuggerud said, “What I saw is what everyone else saw. It’s unfortunate. I talked to my players right after the game about what’s important in life. It’s not a hockey game on Feb. 12, it’s about playing the game with character.” 3 Quote

That sophomore goalie played as many JV games as varsity. I don't think you can play both in one night so one night JV next game varsity. Some people talked about the goalies numbers. Without knowing which goalie played against what quality of an opponent the numbers mean little. When you do not have much of a team to start with then why not play the kids who were there for years instead of sitting them on the bench? Quote
Frozen4sioux Posted February 17, 2013 Posted February 17, 2013 Regardless of the situation or behind the scenes parents coaches players tricodomy. ... This kids actions are 100% indefensible. So many life lessons that can be learned from this hope they can take that out of it Quote

So in real life if he feels like he should be getting more pay or a promotion and doesn't, he should then find a way to cheat the company somehow and make a big scene and flip off the boss? It's called a life lesson, and he had better learn it early. Quote

It's called a life lesson, and he had better learn it early. It is just a bs high school game that means nothing. He did what millions of people wish they could do. Flip off the boss and walk. There are two games left. One regular season game and one "one and done" playoff game. Neither of which he would have played in. He tried playing by the rules and that did not work. So then game on. Comparing this to a job is a stretch on your part. I will give you a comparison that is as far off as your's. During the Vietnam War how many times did enlisted guys ignore their Lt. because having listened to him would have gotten everyone killed? So by your logic they should have just listened and died instead. Quote
petey23 Posted February 17, 2013 Posted February 17, 2013 The fact that this kid's father opened the gate for him to escape the ice after his "bitch" move tells me the father knew about it ahead of time and that this kid probably didn't have much of a chance in life to be an accountable human being. 2 Quote

Since when have high school star athletes ever been held accountable? What were the start athletes that graduated from Red River in 1980 doing? Having keg after keg which they operated like a business. Real upstanding citizens selling beer to underage kids. If one of those kids had died would they have been held accountable? Only in your wildest dreams. Quote

A- Never bothered me much either way if they were or weren't treated like the rest of us. B- I preferred to handle situations with my boss like an adult. And, now that I am the boss, I expect the same. C- Doesn't matter if there were 20 or 2 games left, what he did was weak. D- Wouldn't know. My dad was in Vietnam, maybe I'll ask him. E- See answer A. 1 Quote
SIOUXELEVENS Posted February 17, 2013 Posted February 17, 2013 Isn't this a recruit forum? Don't believe the kid is a potential recruit. Quote
Frozen4sioux Posted February 17, 2013 Posted February 17, 2013 Isn't this a recruit forum? Don't believe the kid is a potential recruit. well he seems kinda bitchy and whiny so maybe he is being recruited at the UMtc..... I'd like to see how he responds with a zebra in front of him to see if reeeaaallllly has what it takes Quote

scpa0305 Posted February 18, 2013 Posted February 18, 2013 Well, L. Johnson started off the year slow however I thought he was going to turn it on for the second half. He heated up a little bit but now is in a super slump. Unfortunately I think he may have a terrible draft year. Quote

geaux_sioux Posted February 20, 2013 Posted February 20, 2013 Wow. He needs to catch fire down the stretch to save his draft stock Quote
