Toews Watch

[Rick]

i wonder how many hockey players go on to hairdressing?

I believe this years whole Gopher team are going into the hairdressing gig.

[AZSIOUX]

very few, but they do actually go to the hairdresser. my cousin used to cut jpar's hair. my only question is if he is wired has he considered decaf?

just joking. seriously, would be great if Jonny comes back, if Brian leaves I sincerely hope it is not because of the fans. either way, best of luck to them.

i doubt it would be bacause of the fans,if it was it would be pathetic and good luck in canada playing hockey in the nhl if your feelings get hurt, seriously, he would be out of hockey in no time there if thats the case, that saying, when brian leaves as i think he will it will because he wants to move on and develop in the AHL...but i do hope he comes back!

News just in:

I have a source close to the team that told me Eric Fabian and Chris Porter are gone. Sorry to break the news.

Well at least we still have Foyt.

Hello all,

I've been checking this site out for some time with nothing really to add, until today. I know someone who is close to the team and he was joking with one of the players that they should get Toews to come back, and the player told him that Toews has decided to come back for 1 more year. Although this happened before Toews went to the World Championship, so take it for what its worth.

I understand this, not really sure if I believe it myself, but it gave me hope that I wanted to share with someone.

welcome anyway, and right now hope is all we have that he will be back. Right now, i am still going with he is leaving because then if he leaves i won't be as depressed because I will have somewhat accepted it or I will be pleasantly surprised if he stays.

share it. this whole site is that kind of stuff. heresay is entertaining, and when it starts to come from more than just a few people, we have something started. if i wanted credible news, i would read the paper(which i do not)

[Let'sGoHawks!]

Who would have better talent? The line JT would play on in Chicago or the DOT line???

One more year JT!

[dallassiouxfan]

I was listening to 204 on XM on my way home tonight. Had a recap of the show with esposito on. EJ McGuire said Toews will be in Chicago next year. Then he said something to the effect of he will be in Chicago only if they can get him signed. Had some other good stuff to say about NoDak hockey. Nothing real important and probably not worth posting but thought I would share.

Feel free to insert this into the "my sister's boyfriend's cousin's hairdresser" category, but my son-in-law heard this week from a buddy of his who apparently ran into a "former Sioux hockey player who is wired" that Toews is coming back (he's in "the pact"), and that Brian Lee is gone.

I'm just passing on what I heard folks.

If true, I wonder why all the other uber-soph players (Oshie, Chorney, Duncan, Toews, Finley) were included in the pact, but not Lee?

maybe because he has a different agenda and wants to develop in te AHL, who knows, i guess we will know hopefully shortly on him and jon

So Jonathan's been stringing us along, making us sweat all for a laugh!

Course if he actually comes back I'd think the joke was funny!

It may be entirely possible that Toews has been strongly considering coming back. I think being named to Team Canada may ultimately be the deciding factor. If he plays well and seems to fit in I would suspect he will sign with Chicago regardless of where he had been leaning previously, assuming Chicago is offering a fair contract (rookie max with plenty of reasonable incentives).

I think if he comes back I am going to have a cardiac arrest.

[THETRIOUXPER]

Hopefully it's just a mild heart attack there Goon. If he does in fact come back you won't want to miss any of the action next year.

No kidding. LOL, I am not holding my breath but if he does come back I will very happy.

[TinScott]

I guess I was wrong on Toews coming back, I talked to the guy who is close to the team today and he informed me he had talked to a player who is close to Toews and it doesn't sound like he is coming back. Being on Team Canada with all those pros has helped him decide he can play at a high level in the NHL.

Good Luck #9!

Wouldn't be a real shocker.

[Siouxmama]

It's a prediction, but I'll post one in a week or two when he signs.

Any news? It's been almost 3 weeks.

[siouxpuckster]

maybe I'm just missing something, but how can JT miss the last 3 weeks of school and still be in good standing academically? or is thi sjust a sign that academics don't matter because he is signing?

List of possibilities

1. Took in-completes;

2. Tested out early/turned in papers early;

3. All his classes were short termers, finished mid semester;

4. On-line classes;

5. His grades were high enough so missing the last three weeks will only lower his final grades a little bit;

6. Duncan's taking all his shots classes.

[Let'sGoHawks!]

Pretty sure I read somewhere that he was finishing classes overseas. All you need is a proctor to administer the exams. (The proctor has to be trustworthy.)

Good point, also he went to Shattuck and according to some of the comments that the players have made it would seem that you have to be a pretty good student to go to school there and that college was somewhat easier. I would be willing to bet that Towes is up to date on this studies or making arrangements.

i wouldnt worry about him missing school, there are ways around it and im sure he did what he needed to do, hes a smart kid. also i hope many fans dont think hes coming back, or at least i mean most fans should be prepared for him to leave is a better way of stating it, f a miracle happens and he stays well damn, watch out, if not watch out still, we will be dammmm good!!
