So what did the egg say to the boiling water? "It may take me a while to get hard, cause I just got laid". (joke)

The St. Cloud State men's hockey team has added another defenseman to its list of recruits who have verbally committed. Tim Daly, a defenseman for the Langley Chiefs of the BCHL, has decided to play for the Huskies -- likely beginning in the 2011-12 season. He was at the National Hockey Center on Saturday to see SCSU's 4-2 win over Minnesota-Duluth.

"I got along well with everybody, I liked the coaches and the plans for the (arena) renovation, and the players seemed like a good group of guys," said Daly, a 5-foot-11, 165-pound 17-year-old from Maple Ridge, B.C. "And the WCHA is the best place to play college hockey. That was one of the loudest buildings I've been in -- and I'd compare that to some NHL buildings I've seen."

Daly, a right-handed shot, was a sixth-round pick of the Calgary Hitmen of the WHL in 2007 and was leaning toward playing major junior. However, he got to know Huskies recruit Garrett Milan two years ago and liked the more he learned about an NCAA career.

"Calgary asked me to play a few games there, and later on they said they'd guarantee me 40, but I didn't do it and it was probably one of the best decisions I've made, because that would've been the end of any chance at playing in (a U.S.) college," Daly said. "I think my game will be well-suited to it."

Daly played four games for the Chiefs last season, when he primarily played for the Junior B Ridge Meadows Flames. This season, through 17 games, he has three goals (two on the power play) and six assists for nine points. He also has 27 penalty minutes.

"I think I'm gritty but I can also be a skill guy," Daly said. "I just want to bring other dimensions to my game. That's one reason I've been taking a ton of one-timers to work on my shot."

SCSU coaches are prohibited from commenting publicly on recruits until they sign a letter of intent.

Daly is a "power-play quarterback," according to Roy Henderson, president of Global Sports Scouting Services, which operates showcase tournaments in Burnaby, B.C., and Las Vegas, where players get exposure to college and major junior representatives.

"(Daly) played in one of our prospect tournaments last May in Vancouver and he was the best player on the ice," said Henderson, a former Philadelphia Flyers scout. "I'd say he's one of the top two players in the (BCHL). It's a steal for St. Cloud. He's a very skilled, smart defenseman. He plays bigger than he is and he can quarterback a power play. I think he also could be a captain-type guy."

Daly is listed as a potential late-round pick (C player) in the preliminary rankings for the 2010 NHL draft by the league's Central Scouting Service. He previously played with the Burnaby Winter Club, winning the western Canadian bantam championship.

SCSU's list of committed recruits includes: Forwards -- Joey Benik (St. Francis HS), Nic Dowd (Indiana/USHL), Milan (Penticton/BCHL), Nick Oliver (Fargo/USHL) and Bryce Ravndalen (Waterloo/USHL); Defensemen -- Daly, Kevin Gravel (Sioux City/USHL), Nick Jensen (Green Bay/USHL) and Andrew Prochno (Minnetonka HS).

Henderson said North Dakota and Northeastern were among the schools showing early interest in Daly. Daly also said he had a trip to UND scheduled but canceled those plans after his trip to SCSU.

Here's a story about him that appeared recently on BCLocalNews.com:

It would be nice to have a qb for the powerplay

Barta and Mosey aren't like Brockelhurst and Borer...players who flat-out sucked but for some reason had a following of people who thought they were good. Barta and Mosey are passable with scattered signs of life.

I'm not.
It gets really old seeing you rip on those two constantly and seem like you know more than the coaches and continue to question why they play.
We get you don't like either one of them, but enough is enough.

I have a simple solution. Put me on ignore and then you never have to read another one of my post again. Otherwise I guess you will have to live with me complaining about Barta, because he sucks.:D As for Mosey, I have said all along he could be a decent player if he put the work in. I hope he has changed his ways, but a couple good games hasn't convinced me yet.

Borer was a very good player. I just happen to think he wasn't as great as some people made him out to be. You on the other hand thought he sucked, which makes me wonder what the hell you were watching.:D I will say this though, he did make some bone headed decisions that cost the Hsukies a couple games and they were one's captains shouldn't make.

Brockelhurst wasn't as bad you made him out to be. my problem with him was he never seemed to be able to live up to the potential I thought he had. Of course I think Motzko deserves part of the balme for him because the moving to forward and Defense thing really screwed him up.

Has anyone heard if Lee or Dunn will be starting in net tomorrow night?

Yeah, and it gets old hearing you coddling them and sticking up for both of them for no reason... yet in the good ol' U.S. of A. you get to do that. Honestly, I think tb is pretty negative, but I don't think he's overly hard on those two. They step onto the ice, they deserve whatever praise or criticism comes their way. Hell, tb complimented Mosey after Saturday, and personally, I thought he played just as lousy Saturday as he always does. Maybe TB's turning a corner on Mosey.

And hon, EVERYONE knows more than Motzko or any of the coaches... that's why we all spend our time talking about how brilliant we are on here. :D
 
Re: SCSU 2009-2010 Season Thread

Barta has sucked so far this year. It's as simple as that. The good thing for him is we aren't even a month into the season so he has plenty of time to turn it around.

I am just hoping she puts me on ignore so I don't ever have to read her lame responses to my posts again.:D

Sorry if I don't think they suck as bad as the rest of you do.
Do I need to be a lemming?

No, not at all. Be your own individual. Just realize... that if everyone else, or most everyone else, thinks one way about someone, and you have a completely different opinion.... you may wanna take a look at your stance again.
 
Re: SCSU 2009-2010 Season Thread

I just wonder how FTLT and Rabib can know so much about the players even without seeing them play.

We do see them play, just not in person.

My stance has never been that either one of them is good per se, just that they don't flat out suck and should never play again.
I've never said that either player is a star, but they are servicable and right now, it's not like we have a whole lot of other options, especially on the defensive end because with whatever is going on with Rioux and Zabs' injury, Barta is about all we have.
I'm also not the type to want to see players benched because of mistakes, you gotta see how they react to them.
Yes Barta has had a rough start, no question about that, but it's also only 6 games in and I never believed he was as bad as TB made him out to be last year either.
My big problem right now is the whole "what excuses will Motzko make" thing.
How is it an excuse to say that you notice a lot more right out of Barta when watching the film?
TB doesn't watch the film so how would he know?
Motzko could easily be dead right but because it doesn't match TB's thinking, it's an "excuse"
It's starting to sound a lot like it was with Dahl, " disagree with the coach, so he must be making excuses."
