GeauxSioux Posted May 11, 2007 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. Quote

BigGreyAnt41 Posted May 11, 2007 Posted May 11, 2007 Yep he is gone I think it is just a matter of time. Prepare for the worst, and hope for the best, right? Quote
Goon Posted May 11, 2007 Author Posted May 11, 2007 Prepare for the worst, and hope for the best, right? That is what I say... Quote
Walsh Hall Posted May 11, 2007 Posted May 11, 2007 That is what I say... I thought it was, "keep your standards low and your expectations high." Quote
Big A HG Posted May 11, 2007 Posted May 11, 2007 I thought it was "stay clean, stay focused" Wait...wrong thread... Quote
hrkac Posted May 12, 2007 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
Sioux_Hab-it Posted May 12, 2007 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. Quote

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. He has absolutley no reason to come back to UND. 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. Quote
Dean Posted May 12, 2007 Posted May 12, 2007 He has absolutley no reason to come back to UND. 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
Diggler Posted May 12, 2007 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
AZSIOUX Posted May 12, 2007 Posted May 12, 2007 At least he didn't promise a national championship, unlike another superstar that played for us. YEAH, what a bad guy for doing that, he should be tarred and feathered for not coming through, what a chump he was Quote
Goon Posted May 12, 2007 Author 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? Comeon stop clouding the issue with facts. Quote
icecleanerguy Posted May 12, 2007 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
The Whistler Posted May 12, 2007 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. Good enough for me. Quote
Sioux_Hab-it Posted May 12, 2007 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
Goon Posted May 12, 2007 Author 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

The sky fell in. Just saying that I have heard from some good sources that he is REALLY talking and thinking about staying 1 more year... Quote
Goon Posted May 12, 2007 Author Posted May 12, 2007 Just saying that I have heard from some good sources that he is REALLY talking and thinking about staying 1 more year... I hope it's true. It would really be nice. That would make the target on the back of the Sioux even bigger. Quote
U2Bad1 Posted May 12, 2007 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
siouxguyinstpaul Posted May 12, 2007 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? 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? Quote
Sioux-cia Posted May 12, 2007 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? Senior year? I thought graduated early so he could play at UND? Quote
AZSIOUX Posted May 12, 2007 Posted May 12, 2007 Senior year? I thought graduated early so he could play at UND? he did, probably what he meant, still his senior year then in a way Quote
GeauxSioux Posted May 12, 2007 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
