Sioux-per Villain Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 Yep... See, Johnny needed one more year at UND to develop and strengthen his finger. Then it wouldn't have broken! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howe and Richard had their noses broken during games and still managed their next shifts. If you are handling a stick with your nose, you are on the wrong end of a play. Those are not even comparable. You don't need a nose to handle the puck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoCalSiouxFan Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 ESPN's article today - good read http://sports.espn.go.com/nhl/columns/stor...&id=3039334 Nice Quotes. "Me, personally, I'd make him captain right now," Lapointe said. "It's not that I don't want the C. He could sit beside me and I could help him. I would take pride in that. "Jonathan's the kind of guy who wants to be a leader, who wants to learn from the veterans. He's a smart kid, too. He plays with a lot of emotion. He's not just a skill guy who can score goals. With him you get the whole package. Very special." Lapointe says of Toews. "He's scary good." "He obviously was able to keep up, more than keep up," said Yzerman, adding that he was startled to see how physically mature Toews was. "They have to be tickled pink that Jonathan Toews is the real deal. And he is," Button said. "He's such a well-rounded player, there's no part of the game he can't compete in. There's nothing light about Jonathan. Nothing." "Toews has never played an NHL shift, yet he's already won a World Championship and people are talking captaincy." " Toews said. "We don't know how hard it's going to be. But I guess we're going to find out." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZSIOUX Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 he hasnt even played a nhl game yet but im going to say hes the best pro ever to come out of UND. could be totally wrong but i think he has the skills and the mental part which is just as important just a bummer he cant play tonight speaking of former players, im gona check out bochenski and jones saturday night here as the bruins are on town. always nice seeing a couple old teammates going head to head Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taz Boy Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 CR@P! Wife and I are going tonight, but the game just got a whole lot less interesting. Might have to head on over to the Windy City sometime to watch him play. taz digs Toews Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeMorelli Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 "It was funny, we were driving the other day and you see a big billboard: Jonathan Toews, the future of the Blackhawks," Kane said. "Some of that stuff is awesome." "It's crazy," Toews said. "I saw that driving to the United Center. I just erupted laughing." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally think Parise is better, just my personal HMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZSIOUX Posted October 6, 2007 Share Posted October 6, 2007 That is a pretty daring statement being UND has had some pretty good NHLers over the years. I personally think Parise is better, just my personal HMO. parise has already played 2 years in the nhl and jon hasnt so in about 5-7 years we will see. parise is very good and improved a lot in his 2nd season playing with zajac and getting way more ice time but i dont see him being a star in the nhl like i do with jon. both were great with the sioux, no doubt and both will have nice nhl careers.

jk Posted October 6, 2007 Share Posted October 6, 2007 I said the first time I saw Toews play for the Sioux that he had a chance to be the best pro skater ever to lace them up for UND. This was after I saw him in person, where you can really appreciate how smooth he is. To have the best pro career he has to top Belfour, which is a high hurdle.

THETRIOUXPER Posted October 6, 2007 Share Posted October 6, 2007 I said the first time I saw Toews play for the Sioux that he had a chance to be the best pro skater ever to lace them up for UND. This was after I saw him in person, where you can really appreciate how smooth he is. To have the best pro career he has to top Belfour, which is a high hurdle. Eddie has had an outstanding career, no doubt about it. However, keep one thing in mind, he wasn't 17 years old when he came to UND. Johnny is still only 19 and look at his accomplishments to this point. I'm not taking anything away from either one, but Johnny still has his whole career ahead of him and we have yet to see him reach his full potential. I think being Chicago's marquis player right now tells you what that organization thinks of him. I see nothing but good things down the road for Johnny.

spfreak Posted October 6, 2007 Share Posted October 6, 2007 According to the Blackhawks website, Toews will play his first game on Wednesday night against the Sharks. I hadn't seen that posted on here yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
