Chuck Schwartz Posted December 30, 2006 Posted December 30, 2006 Thought it was interesting.... I was informed by a very, very reliable source last night and then confirmed this morning that Hirsch has been kicked off the team. Last night after the players were all gone Lucia told Equipment manager Harry to remove all of Hirsch's stuff from his locker. The coaches broke the news to him this morning. What a waste of talent.

siouxguyinstpaul Posted December 30, 2006 Posted December 30, 2006 I could see this happening a few weeks ago when there were issues floating around him. Quote
Handyman Posted December 30, 2006 Posted December 30, 2006 I dont post here, and I wont again in any other topic but I think it would be better if this subject was not talked about until it is official. Rumors like this do nothing for anyone. Quote

Its not that I dont trust you bucky, I know you have your sources...but it aint official until Lucia says it himself and you know that. Plus seeing as this discussion always leads to some real bad fighting and mocking might as well put it off til we have official confirmation from the team. Quote

Oh well I wish him luck with the mental thing but he is a Goofer. Quote
Sioux_Yeah_Yeah Posted December 30, 2006 Posted December 30, 2006 Trust me...it's official. It's been reported by two different sources now. Really, where at?? TV, internet, radio? Any links? Quote
mikeypat15 Posted December 30, 2006 Posted December 30, 2006 I'm lost, I know what happened a few years ago at the final five, and that he took the year off, but what happened now that he would be kicked off, did I miss something? Quote
siouxguyinstpaul Posted December 30, 2006 Posted December 30, 2006 I could see this happening a few weeks ago when there were issues floating around him. It does seem like an abrupt and non-professional way handling this though. Quote
jimdahl Posted December 30, 2006 Posted December 30, 2006 That's a real shame. He really seemed to be playing well and otherwise getting his life to a good place this year, until the academic problems came to light. Hope he does ok for himself. Quote
Chuck Schwartz Posted December 30, 2006 Author Posted December 30, 2006 Really, where at?? TV, internet, radio? Any links? It was reported to me through a source and also to someone on GPL. Link Quote
siouxguyinstpaul Posted December 30, 2006 Posted December 30, 2006 From GPL "Tonight's Lines: Gordon - Wheeler - Barriball Lucia - O'Brien - Bostrom Howe - Kaufmann - Flynn Pohl Shack - Vannelli Peltier - Anderson Goligoski - Fischer Briggs" Quote

Everything I've read there tonight leads me to believe that he is gone - or should be if not yet after lasts nights exhibition. I'm not sure it was handled the most ethically though. Quote
Diggler Posted December 30, 2006 Posted December 30, 2006 Whether or not he's been kicked off the team, it's no surprise he isn't in the lineup tonight. From the sounds of it, he literally did absolutely nothing last night on the ice. He just skated around. Quote
Fetch Posted December 30, 2006 Posted December 30, 2006 Think Positive - maybe Duluth will pick him up & he will get hat tricks every time they play the goofs Quote
siouxguyinstpaul Posted December 30, 2006 Posted December 30, 2006 I would have to believe that with all the chances he's had - all the bench time given him and all the support that theoretically he has been awarded - he's gone as what else is there -- more bench time? I feel genuinely sorry for him and his family and I hope they are able to work things out. Quote
AZSIOUX Posted December 30, 2006 Posted December 30, 2006 wow, i heard from a couple friends at the game he just skated around and did NOTHING, just skated, very wierd and strange to watch i guess. interesting to have seen this but the game wasnt on tv last night. Quote

siouxguyinstpaul Posted December 30, 2006 Posted December 30, 2006 Thats weird what did he do that he took a year off? I believe that he was playing in Europe. Quote
Goon Posted December 30, 2006 Posted December 30, 2006 That is what sites like this are for? What subject, the guy is a waste of talent and has some serious mental issues. Oh well I wish him luck with the mental thing but he is a Goofer. No crap, now we have Gopher fans policing a Sioux message board. If it wasn't for rumors and pontifications void of fact what would we talk about? I guess to each his own. I think Hirsh is a good player and he has some issues but I think this is more about tDon trying to repair his image in the eyes of the univeristy and his peers. Last season there was the impression that Lucia's team was out of control with the Channel 9 report and then the implosion at the end of the season. I am pretty sure last year was a emabarassment to him and he has been making examples out of people to get his message across and to repair his image. Quote
Siouxmama Posted December 30, 2006 Posted December 30, 2006 Thats weird what did he do that he took a year off? He had a moment at the end of their game at the Final Five. Game over, he stays on the ice, gets a puck, sets it at center ice, goes in to score on an empty net, and crashes into the net. Gets up, skates off. After that, he had a medical redshirt year off. I believe he had some mental issues that had to be worked through. If this isn't correct, somebody please correct my post. I believe that whatever has happened since, may still be related to mental issues he has. This will be a difficult time for Tyler and his family, I wish them all the best as they work through it.

sagard Posted December 30, 2006 Posted December 30, 2006 Hirsch could stick handle around many defenders in a phone booth. There has been a lot of speculation that he wouldn't finish the season. It's a shame that a kid who grew up a hockey player can't seem to enjoy himself during what is probably his last year of organized hockey. Quote
