redwing77 Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 I think there's a reasonable chance that UND will only lose 2 this offseason in Oshie and Toews. I think Chorney may actually be back. The rest aren't going anywhere unless they are graduating. Vandevelde looks like he's coming around and Genoway was getting TONS of love from Melrose and Thorne. He played well too.

Goon Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 I love Oshie. Hopefully he comes back for another season. We could only be so lucky. I am praying that he is. The kid is awesome. I feel bad for Porter, he has been one of my favorite grinders for 4 years along with Fabian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marco Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 Uh... I think either Phoenix or Chicago have that one down. I can look back a few years to when the Blues were good. I'd have to look back decades to know when Chicago was last decent and Phoenix...... True, the poor Blackhawks are a mess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Walrus Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 What a great season, great semi-final game, Boston College out played us in spurts and outshot us like 2 to 1. We never gave up and played hard to the finish, made a couple of costly mistakes in the last 6-7 minutes. Boston College will win it all. Congratulations Coaches, Players and Staff Great Job this Year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farce poobah Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 Just got back from the game and need to say how impressed I was at the multiple thousands of Sioux fans that made the trip. Well done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sioux-cia Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 I think his family is pushing to get him to the show. I remember talking to T.J.'s dad the fall T.J. came to the U. His dad said then that T. J. would be here four years. I recently heard an interview with T.J.'s dad where he said that the Blue's family wanted T.J. to stay in school for three years. I believe T.J. loves the Fighting Sioux program and his fellow players but agree, if he leaves it will be because of family....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
U2Bad1 Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 I remember talking to T.J.'s dad the fall T.J. came to the U. His dad said then that T. J. would be here four years. Famous last words. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fightingsioux4life Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 Another trip to the Frozen Four, another loss. Ever since 2001, we can't win the big game in hockey or any other sport. I won't list them here, most of us know which games and sports I am talking about and frankly, I'm not in the mood. I am not bashing any of our players or coaches or anyone else; I will support this program (and all of our other programs) forever. But at some point, just getting there isn't good enough anymore. This loss really, really hurts. And now we can sit back and watch as another half-dozen or so players leave school early and Hak is left with a bunch of question marks and not enough answers come October. What a great offseason THIS is going to be. I couldn't care less about Saturday's game now, I don't plan on even watching it. And if that sounds like a sore loser, then so be it. I really don't care. October can't get here soon enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe T.J. loves the Fighting Sioux program and his fellow players but agree, if he leaves it will be because of family....... I love to hear that. Even one more year of getting to watch him would be great. His puck handling skills are incredible. OK his whole game is incredible. I must be listening to the wrong people, that Dakota Husby keeps leading me astray. If they can keep these guys around next year looks pretty promising.

PCM Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 Famous last words. Actually, I wouldn't be surprised to see Oshie back next season. I'm not guaranteeing anything, only saying that I wouldn't be shocked to see him in a Sioux uniform again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
If only we had Belfour Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 Another trip to the Frozen Four, another loss. Ever since 2001, we can't win the big game in hockey or any other sport. I won't list them here, most of us know which games and sports I am talking about and frankly, I'm not in the mood. You kind of sum up what I am thinking I LOVE THE SIOUX but I really am sick of just being there. ANd I am not knocking this years team because 3 months ago all of us would have taken this ending, but I just know we had more in us that we left on the table and that is Disappointing. But the best team won and I wish the BC eagles well, but I hope Michigan state wins it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiouxDog Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 What am I going to do on Saturday now? My two year old only knows how to root for the Sioux he does understand hockey enough to watch anyone besides the Sioux. Ugh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big A HG Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 Things we had going for us tonight that said we were going to win... -We wore black -Dubay picked BC -Bob Norton picked BC -We scored 4 goals -The alternating streak between us and BC, saying we should win this time -We were the only WCHA team left....a WCHA team was supposed to win -We were supposed to play MSU again 20 years later -We had the streak of every 10 years going for us, 1987 and 1997 -First year Hak gets to the Nat'l Championship and loses. Second year Hak makes the Frozen Four, but loses before the NC. Third year he was supposed to get the 3rd Frozen Four leg and win it all. -We all had our superstitions going. I'm probably missing some, but WHAT WENT WRONG? No excuses...we just didn't get it done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayor Steve Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 That was a rediculous call. Especially with 4 minutes to go in the game. Obsurd.. I agree with this. That call on Finley was an absolute joke. I want to blame the refs for this loss but you can't give up 40 + shots an expect to win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sioux Hockey Fanatic Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 I'm really sad too. Guess I won't make the trip to St. Louis this year. But Denver Here I come! (And I hope the Sioux will be there too) I sure hope the DOT line stays, I will miss Porter and Fabian. ( and that new COW Line) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

October can't get here soon enough. I can agree with you. I'm not even going to watch the championship game now...unless I'm bored and have nothing else better to do. Congrats to BC though and good luck to them winning #3 even though the Spartans got my fan support. Also as I've said before this loss wasn't as stinging and painful as the 1-0 to Denver in the regionals a few years back. That was truly our year IMO!!

Goon Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 I fear the worst, but I don't think another year of college hockey would hurt his career one bit. Thats what makes it sad their kids. If we could only lose one I would be happy. If we can return the corps the Sioux could make a run again. One of these years UND is going to win it again.

SalParadise Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 I thought the Sioux played a great game. Lammy had some great saves. I think the Sioux overly agressive play may have gotten the better of them. I really felt that the game could have gone either way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My bracket is shot. Maybe my Master's pool will do ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How come that phenomenon never works in our favor? Maybe because you need a quality goaltender for the phenomenon to work. This loss isn't all PL's fault but the last two goals before the empty netters were saveable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sioux-cia Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 Ok, enough of the feeling like crap!!! Geeze Louise. Our team has made it to the F4 three friggin' years in a row. We didn't win and it hurts. But fu@kin' A, we made it to the F4 three friggin' years in a row!! I'm going to St. Louis Saturday and I'm going to celebrate the success of our athletes. The best hockey players in the WCHA and as far as I'm concerned the best in the country. I'm sad but I'm damned proud!! HERE'S TO EVERY LAST ONE OF YOU, TO OUR FIGHTING SIOUX HOCKEY TEAM AND COACHES!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
