    Again more proof that UND,s coaches go the extra mile to find the players that will embrace "Fighting Sioux" hockey.

    Maybe this is a result of the Toews effect. Chicago area youth are now dreaming of going to the UND hockey factory, to be molded into the kind of player that can lead an NHL team to a Stanley Cup Championship.
    of course, they will have to be retrained after hakstool teaches them how to choke every year at the FF.

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

      How do you suppose Rau is going to adjust to no post season hockey after the first round?

          Rau more proof that Gopher hockey is going downhill. Seems that UM was the only school that was willing to offer him a scholarship right out of High School. Have a feeling that a 158 pound kid just out of high school may have a difficult time adjusting to the WCHA.

              I think Rau is more highly regarded than Archie Skalbeck was, and Skalbeck adjusted very well to the WCHA. 9g 9a won't set the world on fire, but it's a lot better than I would have expected.

                I'll second that. He should be a solid all around forward at the NHL level, but it may take some time to get there for him.

                That makes 11 players that North Dakota lost from last year's team. It will be difficult to compete consistently in the WCHA, but we should be a top 4-5 team and have a shot in March/April to do something special. Fortunately, we should be very strong defensively to keep us in a lot of games. Look for a lot of 2-1, 3-2 games next year.

                I'm curious if Hakstol has another forward lined up to come in.

                      What a great opportunity for the underclassmen to step-up and fill some very big shoes. Seems that most of the Sioux players comming in not only have goal scoring skills but also a proven track record of leadership and an unusually strong committment to learning the game. Seems that most were captains or assistants in juniors.

                      I won't be supprised at all if at the end of next season the Sioux put together another win streak.

                        I watched the frozen four game vs Michigan today and noticed two things:
                        1. We lost
                        2. The gophers were nowhere to be seen.......again.

                          Today I opened up the USCHO home page and in the college hockey news section I noticed two things.

                          Latest News Headlines
                          1. Gardiner leaves Gophers to play in USHL
                          2. Gregoire leaving North Dakota for NHL options

                            actually, it's called a choke, not a loss. that's six straight chokes in a row, luckily, you don't have enough good players left for hakstool to go for the magic 7 chokes in a row. I mean, come on, how do you choke 6 straight FF in a row?

                              How do you have time to be in this thread? Shouldn't you be on campus with the rest of your brethren trying to keep what's left of the goof players locked in Mariucci so they can't leave the team?
