AZSIOUX Posted June 4, 2006 Share Posted June 4, 2006 I know that you can't put too much stock in what is said in these interviews but did anyone else catch Johnson hinting that he won't "make the jump (to the pro's) for a couple of years ." That would rock! you are right in that you can't put stock into wat they say but thats good to at least hear if you are a gophs fan. if you guys get 1 year from the guy you should be happy...

That would rock! I guess it will soften the blow of Johnson go direct to the Pros but the Sioux D all know his one move by now anyway.

Um, can you explain the stuff about the things again? I am guessing that either: 1. You are smashed 2. You are confusing Johnson with Kessell 3. You think Johnson and Kessell are the same person 4. You have the attention span of a jr. higher after shot-gunning a six-pack of "Vault" 5. A combo of 1,2,3 and 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sioux7>5 Posted June 5, 2006 Share Posted June 5, 2006 great interview by Toews! I cant even imagine what that Crosby,Toews,Malkin line would be like. wow is all i can say. He is pretty well spoken. Kessel's was straight and to the point,almost like he didnt understand the question... After listening to that interview I would think that Mr. Toews is gone. It sounds like he is looking to his pro career right away. I am sorry but that would suck. I want him to stay and play for the Sioux at least one more year. One more thing you are right. Kessel one statement. Extreme face Makeover buddy....UGLY, it should be a crime to be that UGLY! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATLSiouxPhan Posted June 5, 2006 Share Posted June 5, 2006 That was kind of the feeling that I was having right now. I don't know if I was a GM I think I would be looking at Stal instead of Toews. Not impressive to say the least. Funny thing is he will probably still be drafted ahead of Kessel. Staal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATLSiouxPhan Posted June 5, 2006 Share Posted June 5, 2006 The dude who wrote this better watch it. First he steals my photo, then he talks trash about a Sioux player.

ATLSiouxPhan Posted June 5, 2006 Share Posted June 5, 2006 From what I understand you ride the bike for a certian amount of time with someone screaming in your ear to keep pedaling as fast as you can. and then for the last minitue or so they suddenly raise the resistance by quite a bit and you are expected to keep pedaling as fast as you were or at least close to it. Has anyone else heard the same thing? I cant' remember where I read it. Somewhere online this morning and don't get me wrong I enjoy watching Kessel play. But isn't he one ugly SOB I'll trade the tail he gets for the tail I get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AZSIOUX Posted June 5, 2006 Share Posted June 5, 2006 SWITCHING BACK TO TOPIC should be very interesting on where toews goes in the draft, i have a feeling pittsburgh moves up somehow and grabs e johnson leaving it a wide open crapshoot from there. hell, toews or staal will go next with the other being picked no later than 5 at the very worst. throw kessel and backstrom in there as well...can wait to see what happens.... or EJ joins oshie in st louis and pitt grabs toews or staal to go with sid the kid and malkin either one of them going there makes for a damn scary core of great young players.... also i see the WILD taking forney higher than expected with their 2nd 1st round pick, just a hunch..if he doesnt go to minnesota with that pick at #17 (via edm) i see forney going to new jersey or st louis late 1st..then lapoint going 1st 10 picks in the 2nd round. zach (dont fk with me) jones going 3-6 rounds darcy zajac?? not sure, maybe he will be picked up late rounds (im assuming he is draft eligible?) is trupp eligible?? ANYONE ELSE IM MISSING also will we be signing phils lamoreux's brother? for those few who know about our MYSTERY recruit goaile if jpar leaves, WILL HE BE DRAFT ELIGIBLE? i know this is not the right thread but maybe some can help since it is somewhat a draft thread......thx NCAA player info from HF...top 55 from HF http://hockeysfuture.com/article.php?sid=8803 Zach Jones* Freshman, University of North Dakota Jones, along with his defensive partner Matt Smaby (TB), gave North Dakota one of the nation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

degroat Posted June 5, 2006 Author Share Posted June 5, 2006 should be very interesting on where toews goes in the draft, i have a feeling pittsburgh moves up somehow and grabs e johnson leaving it a wide open crapshoot from there. I know a lot of people think that the Blues will want a forward, but if there's one that that I'm sure of when it come to Jarmo Kekalainen, it's that he's going to take the best player available. If they think that Johnson is the best player in the draft, I seriously doubt that they'd trade down. There has actually been some talk that the Blues are looking to move UP from Carolina's first round pick and get another pick in the top 6. I'd love that, just as long as they got Toews, Backstrom, or Okposo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sioux-cia Posted June 6, 2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 Isn't there still a dime bounty on each gopher tail one turns in? Yep, sounds about right. Gopher tail=10 cents. I think the price is the same bought or sold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redwing77 Posted June 6, 2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 Few things of note: 1. I wouldn't be surprised if Chicago went off the board and drafted Sanguinetti (Major Juniors). Why? Chicago wants speed over all else and he reportedly is the fastest player in the draft. In any case, Chicago will draft for speed first. Boston (sorry Goon) will more than likely blow their first pick like they've done quite often over the past 16 years. The Bruins are the Minnesota Vikings of the NHL draft. 2. Forney won't go 17th overall. Most draft rankings have him 20th to 35th in ranking. Yeah, there are a few that have him as high as 15 (and a few rubes predicting that he could go in the top 10 or 15), but I just don't see it with Forney's injury trouble as of late. Trust me when I say this, Forney will be better off if he doesn't get drafted by Minnesota anyways. Forney will either go with one of the last picks in the first round or somewhere in the first half of the second round. Just my hunch. 3. Okposo is a wild card. He did pretty good so far in the combine and his stock is definitely rising. I don't see him cracking the top 5, but he could go higher than 8th overall. 4. Again, I don't see Zach Jones going before the 5th round, if he gets drafted at all. Yes, I think there is a chance that he gets overlooked entirely.

siouxforeverbaby Posted June 6, 2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 also will we be signing phils lamoreux's brother? If you are talking about jacques (spelling?), then no. He signed with one of the Michigan teams. Does he have another brother? then maybe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
