sprig Posted January 9, 2003 Share Posted January 9, 2003 Hope Roche gets a shot; think he would be up with several other teams. Not good new on Bombadir's concussion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shootdogger Posted January 9, 2003 Share Posted January 9, 2003 Here's hoping. I went to both the Kings and Bluejacket games this week and the Wild suddenly look HORRIBLE. They're running into each other througout the PPS and the worst is their D passing when bringing it out of their end...and right onto the sticks of the opposition in the Neutral Zone. God awful mess.

choyt3 Posted January 9, 2003 Share Posted January 9, 2003 When you see Duvie Wescott skating a regular shift at defense for Columbus, it doesn't take much to see that Roche would have been much better off in another organization if he wanted to play in the NHL right away. Hopefully the Wild will give him the chance he deserves. If not, there probably won't be a lot of decision making once the end of his current contract is here.

dagies Posted January 9, 2003 Author Share Posted January 9, 2003 Hope Roche gets a shot; think he would be up with several other teams. Not good new on Bombadir's concussion. I'll be honest. Maybe I am just a wussie but it seems to me that concussions are becoming WAY to big a deal in football and hockey. I know it is a rough sport and I like seeing guys knock each other around (i.e. Fuher's hit this past weekend) as much as the next guy, even the occasional fisticuffs. But there just seems to be too many guys who get concussions through the season. Way too many. And for me it is hurting the games. Both games. I think too many guys are out of action or leaving the game prematurely these days. I'm not old enough to have paid attention, but were the levels of concussions the same in the days before helmets?

mezzy05 Posted January 9, 2003 Share Posted January 9, 2003 Just my thoughts, but Murphy may be up just as soon as Roche. He has had a hell of a year, and if they are looking for some productivity from the point I bet they go with Murphy... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dickgraham Posted January 9, 2003 Share Posted January 9, 2003 Murphy was called up last month and played about a week, I think, for the wild. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schmidtdoggydog Posted January 9, 2003 Share Posted January 9, 2003 He may have been up for a week, but I believe he only played in one game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What surprises me more is to see Tyler "Pudge" Arneson in the NHL, I always thought Tyler was a soft player (physically), great offense but shyed away from the hitting. I remember him in college and in Juniors avoiding going after the puck in the corners... IF Duvie can play in the NHL Roach can be an all star...
