Old Time Hockey Posted April 11, 2007 Posted April 11, 2007 Great news to hear that Dunc and Chorney will be sticking around. You have to think that their old men had a lot to due with their decisions. Quote
The Whistler Posted April 11, 2007 Posted April 11, 2007 my little brother has a class with TJ and he siad TJ was in class today. Algerbra 103 He's just in Algebra because it's a good time. Quote
proudsioux Posted April 11, 2007 Posted April 11, 2007 or cuz its required for almost every major and its the easy math class for a credit at UND Quote
Fighting Sioux 23 Posted April 11, 2007 Posted April 11, 2007 or cuz its required for almost every major and its the easy math class for a credit at UND Easy math for FOUR credits at UND At least, it was four when I took it a few years ago. Quote
squirtcoach Posted April 11, 2007 Posted April 11, 2007 Easy? My roomate at UND failed Algebra 103 5 times. Quote
dagies Posted April 11, 2007 Posted April 11, 2007 Per the thread subject, they're not the only ones! Quote
GeauxSioux Posted April 11, 2007 Posted April 11, 2007 Per the thread subject, they're not the only ones! All I can say is WOW. This is huge. Quote
gordwiser Posted April 11, 2007 Posted April 11, 2007 Wow. Simply, wow. I know it can all change, especially since it is so close to the end of their season, but this is quite the news today. What will the Meet the Sioux be like tomorrow?! Quote
#1siouxfan22 Posted April 11, 2007 Posted April 11, 2007 Yeah and the odd possibility that Finley would leave. Looks like we will be having a few guys sitting out every game next year. Quote
dagies Posted April 11, 2007 Posted April 11, 2007 Simply amazing. Who's left? Toews and Lee? I would think Finley is a possibility. I don't know how much but it's probably fair to have him in the conversation. Quote
brianvf Posted April 11, 2007 Posted April 11, 2007 Yeah and the odd possibility that Finley would leave. Looks like we will be having a few guys sitting out every game next year. Yeah, Finley too. Either people will be sitting or recruits may have to play another year of juniors. Quote
proudsioux Posted April 11, 2007 Posted April 11, 2007 im jw what that article said as i dont have a herald log on Quote
captsioux Posted April 11, 2007 Posted April 11, 2007 I think by having Dunc, Chorney, and TJ staying it makes the decision on Taves that much harder. We also cant forget about Finley who is also a #1 pick. I'm a die hard caps fan as well but I would prefer Joe to stay at UND for another year. look for tj to stay as well!! Quote
gordwiser Posted April 11, 2007 Posted April 11, 2007 im jw what that article said as i dont have a herald log on You're a Sioux Fan and you don't have a free herald logon? Oshie says he's coming back. Quote
proudsioux Posted April 11, 2007 Posted April 11, 2007 never took the time to get it. usually just get all my info from brads blog or in teh herald in the mornin Quote
brianvf Posted April 11, 2007 Posted April 11, 2007 I think by having Dunc, Chorney, and TJ staying it makes the decision on Taves that much harder. Agreed. Everyone is staying for a run at #8. He might want to join in on the fun. Quote
Old Time Hockey Posted April 11, 2007 Posted April 11, 2007 TJ is staying!!!!!!!!!!! This is HUGE!!!!!!!! Now lets hope the boys can persuade JT into sticking around for one more kick at the can. #8 in 2008!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Quote
JacksonW Posted April 11, 2007 Posted April 11, 2007 I think sometimes "we" give these young men too little credit as far as making decisions that are best for them. Obviously staying in the college atmosphere/setting is what is best for alot of these guys. Some will feel that turning professional is what is best. But in a day and age of greedy, me! me! athletes (MLB and NBA players at the top of the list), it is refreshing to see these 2 young men put friendships, teammates and an experience that college provide as a priority at this point in their lives. Now with that being said, I would not have any issues if Toews, Lee or Oshie turns pro or stays for another year. Although it would be nice to have them all around next year, I have no doubt that each will make the best decision for them down the road. And those decisions, whether "we" approve or not, should be respected. What college hockey fan would understand if say LaPoint's(just to use a name) junior team almost wins national junior championship, he has some very good friends that will be back on the same team next year, loves his coach. He plays 75 games, has no school or job to deal with, plays 27 minutes a game, first team power play, first team penalty kill, 18 year old puck bunnies. College coach wants him to come this year, probably 12 minutes a game, little or no special team time. Long walk to class at 8:45 in Jan, Feb. 18-21 year old puck bunnies. If he said no to college coach, everybody would think he is insane, lazy, scared, or stupid. Sometimes the offers from the pros are just the next step, no algebra, no dorm rooms, more hockey, more spending money(unless parents already loaded), 18-31 year old puck bunnies. Sometimes the potential new boss wants you to sign now, and getting off on the wrong foot may not be wise. (See Jack Johnson). And for most kids pros are the real dream, juniors(or HS) and college are a step in the process. The step from juniors to college is a no brainer for you, why is the next step somehow disloyal and short sighted? Quote
sioux7 Posted April 11, 2007 Posted April 11, 2007 I am going out on a limb to say that Toews is staying. Just a gut feeling that he stays. Awesome, awesome news! This just shows how tight these guys are as a team. Gotta love them Sioux! Quote
Sioux Hockey Fanatic Posted April 11, 2007 Posted April 11, 2007 Guess I am going to have to get up early and get online for the Herald news before I go to work. I hate hearing all the news from my sister in GF. I have good feelings about Toews staying. Quote
The Whistler Posted April 11, 2007 Posted April 11, 2007 You're a Sioux Fan and you don't have a free herald logon? Oshie says he's coming back. bugmenot.com Quote
Sioux87 Posted April 12, 2007 Posted April 12, 2007 The Sioux will be a force to be handled with these two back, great news. Now JT come on back! Quote
