TC_transplant Posted February 20, 2003 Posted February 20, 2003 The refs are all out to get UND, right Goon? You sound like a Gopher fan. Quote
kr Posted February 20, 2003 Posted February 20, 2003 The refs are all out to get UND, right Goon? Yes they are! Actually it is Randy Schmidt (sp?) this weekend --- so it should be a decent weekend. Go Sioux. Quote
BigGreyAnt41 Posted February 20, 2003 Posted February 20, 2003 Blais says that next season, Parise will probably be playing with Brady Murray and Bochenski. He thinks that could be one of the greatest lines in Sioux history. This is VERY encouraging. Seems like we'll have him for one more year for sure. I don't think Blais would have said anything like that unless Parise has also said something. Quote

I don't think Blais would have said anything like that unless Parise has also said something. I wouldn't read too much into Blais' statement. I suspect it's based on the assumption that both Parise and Bochenski will be back. Quote
mksioux Posted February 20, 2003 Posted February 20, 2003 Best line in Sioux history? Talk about pressure. This is a tired subject, but I personally think that both Parise and BB will back next year. I wouldn't hold my breath for '04-'05 though. Quote
The Sicatoka Posted February 20, 2003 Posted February 20, 2003 For the record 12/22/02 -- University of North Dakota men Quote
The Sicatoka Posted February 20, 2003 Posted February 20, 2003 mksioux: The NHL Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) expires at theend of the 2003-2004 season. Not reaching a new CBA by the start of 2004-2005 is a very real possibility. The owners are deep in red ink (Ottawa and Buffalo are in bankruptcy). They want salary (and bonus) caps and schedules like some other leagues have. Owners, if they think they can save some money later on a draft pick, may hold off on signing. Who knows what affects that'll have on player decisions, by both players and teams, over the next couple of years. Quote
kdbucher Posted February 20, 2003 Posted February 20, 2003 Remember that the Mavs have given UND some real trouble late in the season (early WCHA rounds) the past few years. It will be a tough weekend, and I think really tell us what the near future of this team is - mentally if nothing else. After the past couple of weeks, they need to react positively now, or it's nearly impossible to recover to 3rd place. Quote
PCM Posted February 20, 2003 Author Posted February 20, 2003 It's quite possible that how the NHL CBA turns out could have a great influence on whether any Sioux players leave early. However, the one constant theme I've heard from the players is that much depends on how UND's season ends. I find it difficult to believe that players are making any concrete decisions at this point. Quote
mksioux Posted February 20, 2003 Posted February 20, 2003 I agree that 1) the players probably haven't made up their minds yet, 2) the outcome of the CBA will play a big role, and 3) the drafting team (in Zach's case) will play a big role. So it's all speculation at this point...which is what I was simply doing. I'm speculating that all 3 of the aforementioned players will suit up in Sioux uniforms next year and that 1 or 2 of the 3 might not in '04-'05. Of course, I'm basing that opinion in large part on the fact that the line will produce such great offensive numbers that the NCAA will pass a resolution eliminating their eligibility so the rest of the teams have a chance of competing.

TheSiouxFan Posted February 20, 2003 Posted February 20, 2003 I know that Parise is already making arrangements with another current sioux hockey player to move into his house for next year. I know it doesn't mean much, but all the signs right now point to he'll play again next season. Despite what Craig Dahl said about he'll be gone if he scores over 50 pts this year. Quote
PCM Posted February 20, 2003 Author Posted February 20, 2003 mksioux, I think your speculation is probably correct. I don't, however, believe that anyone can safely assume that Parise told Blais that he'll be returning next season. Quote
