southpaw Posted March 23, 2006 Posted March 23, 2006 this team reminds me of teams in the past when they hit the playoffs. after a goal, a lot of teams act like they've been there before and thats fine... but i want to see guys acting like they just won the national championship after every goal. that excitement has to get contagious and other players can just feel the excitement and energy. i love see our guys smiling and really getting into it during the playoffs. it helps take some of the pressure off of being a fan. thanks again pcm (ps, did you hear about kenny's dog tags in las vegas two weekends ago? pretty special.)

NorthDakotaHockey Posted March 23, 2006 Posted March 23, 2006 You da Man PCM. You have come a long way from your Jackrabbit days. Speaking for many, I really appreciate these detailed recaps. There are too many reporters these days who do not pay much attention to facts or pay any attention to detail. You do both with style and grace. Big bowl of ice cream for you if you hunt me down at The West. Quote
redwing77 Posted March 23, 2006 Posted March 23, 2006 I think I would have jumped higher than Prpich if I had been able to see Kaip score. There was no one on the team who deserved at least one goal more than Kaip did this year. He's grown a lot. As for Kaip, I'm glad Prpich and I are in agreement. Quote
PCM Posted March 23, 2006 Author Posted March 23, 2006 (ps, did you hear about kenny's dog tags in las vegas two weekends ago? pretty special.) No, I didn't hear about that. Could you PM me and let me know what happened? Quote
forecheck Posted March 23, 2006 Posted March 23, 2006 Thanks for the recap PCM! TH should interview players more often. It's always fun to hear their perspective. Quote
dagies Posted March 23, 2006 Posted March 23, 2006 Great stuff! Love how Hakstol quickly turned the conversation to the Michigan game, and Michigan alone. Love this quote TH: Matt, what do you think of Zach Jones? He can get a little crazy at times. MS: There Quote
kfah1 Posted March 23, 2006 Posted March 23, 2006 Thanks PCM! Always good to read your recaps. I really enjoyed this particular summary. Listening to Smaby and Prpich and their perspective on things, along with Coach Hakstol's comments, it just brings a smile to my face knowing that I'm rooting for a team full of class, grit and good humor. Thanks again! Big weekend coming up!! GO SIOUX!!! Quote
PCM Posted March 23, 2006 Author Posted March 23, 2006 You da Man PCM. You have come a long way from your Jackrabbit days. Yeah. A whole 250 miles due north. Big bowl of ice cream for you if you hunt me down at The West. That's tempting, but a couple of USCHO big-shots are coming to Grand Forks to cover the West Regional and I've volunteered to help them. I don't expect to have much free time on my hands, but who knows. I'll try to look you up if it works out. Quote
Sioux_Hab-it Posted March 23, 2006 Posted March 23, 2006 Obviously PCM saves his best for the playoffs too as this is an outstanding recap. I like what the players think of the ROY award and what Matt had to say about Oshie besides the fact that he scored more goals than any other WCHA freshman. "He Quote

jk Posted March 23, 2006 Posted March 23, 2006 After last weekend anyone who still thinks phil "DESERVED", the ROTY award should simply be ashamed of themselves, especially the ones who call themselves SIOUX FANS, and post on this board. I know in the grand scheme of things it really doesn't matter, but Oshie was clearly a cut above the rest last weekend at the X, and has been all season long. Honestly I think Toews has come pretty close to catching him, at least based on last weekend. Both beat defensemen numerous times on the rush. Oshie's still more physical, and I think Toews may move the puck a little better (tough to say that though). Overall it's a nice problem to have. Quote

Toews has certainly come around, which is bad for anyone who has to play us. Look out next year, these two could be a dangerous combination if they were playing together. Quote
Upper Deck Posted March 23, 2006 Posted March 23, 2006 Yeah. A whole 250 miles due north. That's tempting, but a couple of USCHO big-shots are coming to Grand Forks to cover the West Regional and I've volunteered to help them. I don't expect to have much free time on my hands, but who knows. I'll try to look you up if it works out. Thanks PCM. I've enjoyed reading this each and every week. Yellow and blue, SDSU! Quote

Oshie's still more physical, and I think Toews may move the puck a little better (tough to say that though). Overall it's a nice problem to have. Toews, Oshie and Duncan have taken the Sioux from a nice team that is dangerous to a team that is a serious threat to win #8 in the last six weeks. They have given the Sioux great scoring depth that they didn't have last year for much of the season. Quote

They have given the Sioux great scoring depth that they didn't have last year for much of the season. Yeah, Duncan has quietly been making his presence felt, by quietly I mean not getting the attention as an Oshie or a Toews, but effective nonetheless. Quote

Look out next year, these two could be a dangerous combination if they were playing together. Or we could have have two bad a$$ lines if they're playing apart! Quote

Sioux Hockey Fanatic Posted March 23, 2006 Posted March 23, 2006 Thanks for the recap! I too love to hear from the players, lets you see a little bit more of their personalities and how it comes out on the ice. Quote
stafford_rules Posted March 23, 2006 Posted March 23, 2006 gosh, Prpich seems like an awesome time. meaning fun. Quote
