What's the word on Kristo for this weekend? Will Hak and the boys stick him back in the lineup, or are they going to give him the weekend off?

Why would you give him the weekend off? He is a young kid I am pretty sure will be able to play. The NHL right now is playing compressed schedules so I can't see a 18 or 19 year old kid sitting out an important weekend when the Sioux desperately need points. I would be willing to be that Kristo is one of the top three lines playing a full game/shift and running the power play from the point. I can't wait to see him in the line up. Also, Zajac said in the pre-game that there is a good chance he might be back this weekend as well. If that happens it would be really good news.

In the past with the WJC, they have given the players a day or two off from practice at UND and then put them back in the lineup for the next series.
I agree with Goon, he'll be back playing this weekend against Mankato.
Kristo will probably be back in ND by Wed, so that gives him a couple days for his legs to recover.

I actually think to keep Kristo out of the line up you would probably have to sit a 300 pound gorilla on his chest or duct tape him to a bench in the locker room because I would imagine the minute his game is over tonight he will be chomping at the bit to get after it with the Fighting Sioux.

Right on Goon!!! When he wins gold tonight , nothing better than sweeps of MSU-M and UM in your next 4 Games!!! Go USA Go SIOUX!!!!

I think the rest for Kristo would be more needed if the tourny was in Europe. Like others have said i doubt he will miss either Mankato game this weekend.

Plus he is playing awesome. They need him in the lineup.

Team USA and Kristo win gold.
Now he can bring that gold medal back to GF and show it to the MSUM players after he helps lead the Sioux to a sweep.

Yeah I would say that is the best thing I have heard all week after USA wins the gold.

The injury woes continue for this team.

Good news first: Both Kristo and Zajac are expected back in the lineup this weekend.
Bad news: Hextall is out 4-6 weeks with an undisclosed injury.

Zajac recovered very quickly from his hernia surgery, which is great to see. But then you toss in Hextall getting injured against ND, and this team just can't get to 100% healthy...

That news sucks.... I was counting on Hexy getting under the skin of both Minnesota and Denver

No doubt. I don't see anyone else on the Sioux roster capable of making fun of Gwoz's suit and making him walk across the ice.

maybe Hexy can sit right behind the DU bench and taunt mercilessly. Maybe he'll even invite Dirty over!

Re: UND 2009-2010 Season Thread - The Lawnmower and Cookie tossing edition!

Ha!
Brad mentioned on his twitter that Kristo was still in Saskatoon because his flight to Minneapolis got cancelled.
So he is flying to Winnipeg instead and then Hakstol is going to drive there and bring him back to GF.

That would be hilarious.

"Hey Gwoz! I'm still here! Even though I'm not on the ice, I'm still here!"

Very Brett Favre-esque.

That would be hilarious.

so, does Gwozdecky go Ty Domi on Hextall and Dirty and drag them over the glass and onto the bench where the rest of the DU team promptly destroys them? Or do they drive him so mental that he just walks across the ice?
