  1. As a fellow fan of hockey and lover of writing, let me thank you for your sharp and witty words. Stick taps Yes, the stoic Finn had ice in his veins and learned hockey cliche under the mentorship of the great poet, philosopher and king of understatement, one professor Jacques Lemaitre....Kaptain Obvious told it like it was, a hard-fought game where our guys worked hard, had our chances, but their guys got one more goal than our guys, and it cost us the game....
  2. Indeed Pierre LeBrum reports in TDN that the ask is minimum 1st rounder and likely a pick. Trick is Giordano can choose his destination, whomever he believes has shot at cup.
  3. My son was a Spud and thinks they can win into the final. I expect Edina will be a finalist out of its bracket.
  4. Dumba and agent will not take hometown haircut. This will be his swing at likely his highest salary, as he's technically in his prime. Sign and trade an option, depending on what Wild are looking for. New center Rossi or rental. Also there are high quality five year college seniors available as teams are eliminated. Several scouts at Bemidji State vs. Bowling Green last weekend in Bemidji.
  5. Vic is steady and ready for the call. A goal and 5 assists in five games.
  6. Per Lou Nanne, in Minnesota High School Hockey Tournament, on KFAN with Dan Barario says name he has heard is Josh Manson, a big tough Anaheim defenseman, who becomes free agent this summer. Saw him play in juniors. Believe he is son of former Winnipeg Jet favorite Dave Manson. You can never have enough tough guys on the blue line.
  7. Suter makes nearly as much as Sidney Crosby this year!
  8. Nashville falling to the pack and Dallas rising fast.
  9. They don't have enough fuel to get troops and armored vehicles home......
  10. A 6-foot-6 Right Wing named Kirill available mid-1st round...234 pounds? Put him with Rossi and the Thrill!
  11. Funny to hear Zane McIntyre called a veteran. He's from Thief River Falls, played USHL at Fargo Force, where he often volunteered as assistant to help run 6 a.m. practices with my son's Moorhead bantam team, and collegiately at UND. He's lanky, acrobatic and fun to watch.
  12. Giroux would be expensive. Hearing a 1st round, a top prospect potentially a player. Plus his salary. I've heard 1st rounder or equivalent for Giordano. The Isles think they can get a 2nd for Parise, or Chara. Minnesota might add depth player but there are better options in Iowa than rentals.

    UND Hockey

    I'm from Grand Forks and usually see a half dozen UND games this year. Sometime to Bemidji. UND can clinch NCHC auto bid with a sweep next weekend on road. Then it will be quarterfinals, the NCHC tourney, regionals and finally Frozen Four. Could try onhockey.com. mite not get audio though. I don't have cable, all wireless.

  16. Mark Gionardo from Seattle. Would make a very good backline stronger. Will cost, but he's a rare breed of tough defenseman.
