GeauxSioux Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 Three recent top draft picks will take part in Canada-Sweden semifinal game Toews, 19, has yet to announce a final decision on whether he'll return to the University of North Dakota, but it's hard to imagine him not joining Chicago's lineup. Staal, Toews and Backstrom know the feeling. They've all been careful to show proper respect to the veterans, with Toews even volunteering to travel from the 25th floor at the team hotel earlier in the tournament to get Doan a bottle of water. Toews has already secured a place in Canadian hockey lore with the three shootout goals he scored against the U.S. in a semifinal win at the world junior championship in Sweden in January.

hrkac Posted May 12, 2007 Share Posted May 12, 2007 He won't but if Toews stayed all UND fans would have to apologize the whole year for him being on the roster! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sioux_Hab-it Posted May 12, 2007 Share Posted May 12, 2007 When TSN posts the highlights to their site you have to watch the goal scored by Toews! He has the building and analysts buzzing about that one. Canada is up 3-0 after one period of play in their semi-final against Sweden.

It was a fun two years and if I remember correctly - he wasn't going to come here in the first place but made a mid-summer change of mind.

At least he didn't promise a national championship, unlike another superstar that played for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diggler Posted May 12, 2007 Share Posted May 12, 2007 Where was he going to go instead of UND? Tri-City? I thought he made his decisions rather early in his senior year that he was coming to UND? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

icecleanerguy Posted May 12, 2007 Share Posted May 12, 2007 I work at the arena and there are many speculations of what he is going to do, and the top one is that he is comming back for 1 more year. Have some good sources to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sioux_Hab-it Posted May 12, 2007 Share Posted May 12, 2007 Toews goal stands as the winner in a 4-1 Canada win. Going for Gold tomorrow against the Finns at 12 Eastern Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goon Posted May 12, 2007 Author Share Posted May 12, 2007 Good enough for me. I believe in reverse psychology, if we all believe and talk about how he is gone and he leaves, duh it wont be a shock if he stays which I think is probably not all that probable it will be a nice gift. The sky fell in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

U2Bad1 Posted May 12, 2007 Share Posted May 12, 2007 Just a few thoughts I had while observing this thread: 1. Yes, there is a good CHANCE he is gone. 2. Nobody knows for sure what will happen. 3. Those who say for sure he is gone are just prepping themselves for reality when it does happen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought he made his decisions rather early in his senior year that he was coming to UND? wasn't he the #1 draft in major juniors and was going to play out west but decided to come here because it was closer to home?

GeauxSioux Posted May 12, 2007 Share Posted May 12, 2007 What are the rules of a player (Toews) who is a draft pick of a team, but doesn't really want to go to that team because they stink? Obviously Toews is doing great at the Worlds. So well, that he would sought after by any and all teams in the NHL. At what point would Chicago lose their rights to him? Stay in school Jonathon, your stock will keep going up with a national championship. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
