siouxnami Posted March 17, 2006 Posted March 17, 2006 LET THE FLAMING BEGIN Final vote 73-72 over some loser named Oshie... Seriously though I would contend that Chorney was robbed more so than Oshie. Quote
jimdahl Posted March 17, 2006 Posted March 17, 2006 Final vote 73-72 over some loser named Oshie... Seriously though I would contend that Chorney was robbed more so than Oshie. This was raised a couple hours ago in the WCHA awards thread. Hard to complain about ROTY going to the top scoring rookie in the conference who's also playing on the #1 team in the conference and nation. Congrats to Phil. Quote
SFSIOUX#1 Posted March 17, 2006 Posted March 17, 2006 I would dare say congrats to Oshie as it was Kessel's who was the annoited one. Oshie came very close to unseatting the chosen one. And by the way as you would all agree, if you had the choice for a player on your team, Oshie wins in a landslide... Quote
Fetch Posted March 17, 2006 Posted March 17, 2006 I still say BS but Kessel has lived up to his reputation Quote
Upper Deck Posted March 17, 2006 Posted March 17, 2006 I still say BS but Kessel has lived up to his reputation Right on brotha, right on . . . he fits in with his squad very well Quote
Sioux_Yeah_Yeah Posted March 17, 2006 Posted March 17, 2006 Dang Kessel.... I guess all those phantom assists were put to good use Quote
HockeyMom Posted March 17, 2006 Posted March 17, 2006 Congrats to TJ. We all know who the real winner was. Quote
Let'sGoHawks! Posted March 17, 2006 Posted March 17, 2006 Saw Osh's dad tonight, as well as Oshie. He is a nice kid with a good head on his shoulders. Kessel is good, but I'd take Osh any day! Quote
mikeypat15 Posted March 17, 2006 Posted March 17, 2006 Kessel is good at this level, he's a headcase though, my bet, he ends up like Jeremy Roenick, good for a few years, never the best, big mouth, gets injured for 2/3rds of every season. Hopefully he gets lit up by Ovenchkin (and I mean be one of his crushing hits) early in his NHL career and realizes he will never be the best. And the sad part, like Potulny, if he ever wins Lord Stanley, he can't take it back to his hometown, cause Madison has disowned him. City Council passed a resolution. Quote
dagies Posted March 17, 2006 Posted March 17, 2006 Congratulations to Phil Kessel for winning the award. He certainly had a good enough year to be considered in the argument, and it's clear he's a very dangerous player. Someone else mentioned it but I agree, congratulations to Oshie for coming from almost nowhere to compete very closely for the RoTY honor. Way to go, TJ! Quote

I think its time to start the over rated chant. Quote
AZSIOUX Posted March 17, 2006 Posted March 17, 2006 big ups to TJ!! great 1st regular season and he is a hell of a player. both players tore it up this year being freshman and it could have went either way. Quote
THETRIOUXPER Posted March 17, 2006 Posted March 17, 2006 Congrats to all of our guys for their hard work and accomplishments throughout the regular season, the big prize is still up for grabs, let's go take it. As far as TJ and the ROTY are concerned, let's just say that "THE REAL" hockey fans already know what kind of a special player he is . I'm glad everyone else can be so diplomatic, however phil is still a stain on the hockey jock strap of life, enjoy your little award phil, see you in GF next week, it's gonna take more than that to roll past the Sioux. As far as Johnny Toews is concerned, his justice will come the day of the NHL draft. Quote

THETRIOUXPER Posted March 17, 2006 Posted March 17, 2006 You've got a whole team of shrinks working with you, don't you? They gave up. Quote
NorthDakotaHockey Posted March 17, 2006 Posted March 17, 2006 They gave up. They not only gave up, they let the guy out!!! He's running around loose I tell you. He's running around loose. Loose cannon, running around loose. Look for him at The West. Where the Sioux will be whipping the so-called best. Quote

I wonder if phil is sitting in his dorm room stroking it (his ROTY trophy that is), as we speak. Quote
AZSIOUX Posted March 17, 2006 Posted March 17, 2006 he should hang up the skates, his career is complete i want to face him and the rodents tomorrow night in the title game soo bad.. 1st things 1st, beat the wisconsin.............. Quote
Slap Shot Posted March 17, 2006 Posted March 17, 2006 Kessel is good at this level, he's a headcase though, my bet, he ends up like Jeremy Roenick, good for a few years, never the best, big mouth, gets injured for 2/3rds of every season. Hopefully he gets lit up by Ovenchkin (and I mean be one of his crushing hits) early in his NHL career and realizes he will never be the best. Yup. Nothing like wishing ill-will toward the NHL future of a U.S. born player (or any player for that matter). I suppose once a Gopher always a Gopher and we just can't have a stinking Gopher having a successful NHL and international career can we? Pathetic. Quote
ATLSiouxPhan Posted March 17, 2006 Posted March 17, 2006 Oshie doesn't care about ROTY. Oshie shouldn't care about ROTY. Neither does Kessel. Both of these guys would give up any and all individual accomplishments to win something with their respective teams. Oshie and Kessel are well above the sewer talk in this forum, and would likely laugh if they were ever bored enough to read about you guys whining over who deserves it. They both deserve it, and they both don't care about it. Quote
Sioux_Hab-it Posted March 17, 2006 Posted March 17, 2006 Yup. Nothing like wishing ill-will toward the NHL future of a U.S. born player (or any player for that matter). I suppose once a Gopher always a Gopher and we just can't have a stinking Gopher having a successful NHL and international career can we? Pathetic. Actually based on what I saw of him at the WJC I hope he has a very long international career of at least dressing against Canada. Quote
dagies Posted March 18, 2006 Posted March 18, 2006 Oshie was an absolute stud today against Wisconsin. He looked more like a junior than a freshman. That said, it's only fair to post my impressions of Kessel from tonite's game as well. He's electric with the puck. Some have said he gets all the defensive attention, but I'm amazed at how much space he's give when he has the puck. Obviously that's respect for what he can do to a defender. He's extremely quick, makes excellent passes on the power play and gets up to speed faster than anyone else I've seen. I'd still take Oshie on my team, overall, but Kessel does some things exceptionally well too. Quote
Taz Boy Posted March 18, 2006 Posted March 18, 2006 Yup. Nothing like wishing ill-will toward the NHL future of a U.S. born player (or any player for that matter). I suppose once a Gopher always a Gopher and we just can't have a stinking Gopher having a successful NHL and international career can we? Pathetic. Good point (the part about the stinking Gopher that is). taz Quote
