But, here it is confirmed by Michael Russo: Sidney Crosby was almost a Fighting Sioux The first time I'd ever heard the name "Sidney Crosby" was in a private conversation with two really, really old guys named Rick and PCM. That was before Rick ever put the name out here. OK, really, really, really, really old guys. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 UND was the only program he was looking at and there actually was a way he was coming here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct, at that particular time (when he was 15). I believe Parise and A. Schneider gave him the tour or were at least there for it. However, during what would have been his true freshman year, he had 102 points in the NHL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having him play at UND would have been one way to make me a big fan of him. Great player, just get tired of him bein a little cry baby sometimes. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post UNDBIZ Posted June 9, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted June 9, 2016 Had he came to UND, the flopping and whining would've been coached out of his game. UND could've saved the NHL players and fans some headaches. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, he'd have taken a run at it, but college hockey has changed so much* that I think that Hrkac record (46-70-116 in 48 games) will stand for quite a while. *Larger goalie pads, shot blocking, defensive schemes in general, and overall lower scoring.

Frozen4sioux Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 I'd say Hrkac record is even more out there unbeatable......like Ripkens consecutive games, Gretzky point total.......or my epic post college dry spell with the ladies. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's cut down, but it's still awful. He's a hack. Phenomenal player, but a hack, in my eyes. Prime example was last night when he slashed Thorton as Big Joe was skating away from the opening faceoff. Why does he do that nonsense. He's so good and it's so unnecessary. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm talking hack in the sense of slashing and nonsensical dives and piddly junk. Not hack as in a poor player. My fault. Hack probably wasn't the best choice of words.
