Let me get this straight.
Half of the 2010 Winter Olympic Mens Ice Hockey all-stars (Sidney Crosby, Jonathan Toews, and Zach Parise) all played High School hockey in Minnesota and you are suggesting that the only reason they didn't play college hockey for Minnesota is that Minnesota didn't have enough scholarships?
If that is the case U of M needs to fire the idiot that is giving away hockey scholarships to inferior hockey players?"For me, college hockey was obviously the best step I could have taken to get to the next level." - Jonathan Toews, North Dakota/Chicago Blackhawks

Re: WCHA First Round: MN @ UND
From Brad:
As for the news, UND coach Dave Hakstol restated that he does not believe that the Sioux have a spot in the NCAA tournament locked up. He said that the Pairwise Rankings this year are a very slippery slope and he thinks the Sioux could be in big trouble if they don't take care of business this weekend.
As far as the lines tonight, Brett Hextall will play right wing on the top line. The junior line will stay together and the third line will be Corban Knight, Darcy Zajac and Danny Kristo. David Toews also will be in on the fourth line, along with Mario Lamoureux and Carter Rowney.
Also, Brent Davidson will play on defense again tonight for either Joe Gleason or Corey Fienhage. Hakstol said he felt Davidson was solid last weekend.I like chocolate milk and Kate Beckinsale and Lauren Graham and Brooke Burke and Elisha Cuthbert and Eva Longoria.

The reason for the talent in the west? Because MN didn't rely on Canada.

Sidney Crosby is Canadian and was probably much more prone to go a different route than NCAA from the start. I doubt anyone was going to land him regardless.
Going player by player through the state and looking at how future careers went is a futile endeavor. Not all good NCAA players turn out to be good pros.
Schroeder has medals from WJC and may be a great pro with the Canucks (or whoever). Which I guess means UND was out-recruited (by your criteria).PSNetwork / XBOX GamerTag: xJeris

Re: WCHA First Round: MN @ UND
It's that time again for RinkPig's weekly predictions.
1. Danny Kristo will break his fingers after scoring a goal and doing his gay little knuckle drag celebration move….Danny why don’t you try and act like you’ve been there before instead of like the tool?!
2. After scoring yet another goal against the Susie’s, Cepis will get cross checked in the back when he isn’t looking by a frustrated ND player…I would predict the player who does it, but we all know each Sue player is as dirty of the next guy. So it would be impossible to pick just one.
3. Coach Hak will bring back his patented flip off the ref move after Tony Lucia beats down Lamoureux yet again….and his twins sisters will feel embarrassed to have the same lat name.
4. Last but not least the Gophers will kick the **** out of the hicks from North Dakota, and all their fans per usual will say they got screwed by the refs!.

North Dakota cannot recruit every great player from Minnesota but 2 out of the top 3 isn't bad."For me, college hockey was obviously the best step I could have taken to get to the next level." - Jonathan Toews, North Dakota/Chicago Blackhawks
