Oshie
TJ Oshie tallied two goals and an assist in North Dakota's 6-3 win over Minnesota State-Mankato Friday night in Grand Forks. The Fighting Sioux went onto sweep the Mavericks the following night, posting a 4-2 win. Oshie ranks third on the team in scoring with 26 points (14g, 12a). <!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>His 26 points ranks him only second to Phil Kessel in rookie scoring.</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END--> Five of Oshie's 14 goals are game winners, which leads the nation...<br><br>Awesome job!!!! <p>____________<br>"Just go have fun out there.

Re: Atta boy................................by SS
Defineately one of the top 10 players to come out of minnesota in the last 10+ years. Dare i say much better than Wheeler and the rest of the Gopher duds(Kessel aside)? <p></p><i></i>

Re: Oshie
Watched him play 3 years of high school hockey...<br><br>Tremendous skills...one of the most un-selfish players I have ever seen. Too bad he's playing for UND and not the Gophers!<br><br> <p></p><i></i>

Not Totally
Not to discount Oshie at all because I think he is a great player, but I don't think you can say that he is "outperforming" any "duds". He is definitely playing a different role than the "duds". The Gophers aren't relying heavily on them to score whereas Oshie is already one of the top players on the Sioux because it is expected and needed. He is playing better than them, but at the same time they need him to. I don't know if that totally made sense, I'm not sure how to say exactly what I want to say, but hopefully you will get the jist of it.<br><br><!--EZCODE EMOTICON START 8) --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/glasses.gif ALT="8)"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <p>Elk River AA State Champions- 2001 Boys & 2004 Girls</p><i></i>

Re: Not Totally
I agree with you Mr Empire<br><br>I don't see the freshmen on the Gophers as duds at all!! The guy who said that must not be watching.... or, has some pretty unrealistic expectations.<br><br>My comment that its too bad Oshie isn't playing for the Gophers was not to compare him to the freshmen who are, but to lament the fact that I want him to play well and lose!<br><br>Sorry T.J. but I'm just not a Sioux fan! <p></p><i>Edited by: <A HREF=http://p100.ezboard.com/bmnhs.showUserP ... n>Northern Hockey Fan </A> at: 1/23/06 2:30 pm<br></i>

Re: Yeah but.....
Look at hte Russia or Finn game in the WJC. Oshie was the only guy throwing his body around. Wheeler (the biggest guy on the ice) got pushed around. I think top to bottom Oshie is the real deal, and will have a very successful carrer after college. Wheeler, not convinced. Scoring isn't everything. <p></p><i></i>

Yeah but...
I agree Oshie has a bright future, I think the Marvins knew that when they moved him from Washington. Even if he is currently a Fighting Susie<!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :lol --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/laugh.gif ALT=":lol"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <p></p><i></i>

Yeah but...
I really like watching Oshie play in both high school and now in college and USA. He is a hard worker and he never seems to stop working on the ice. He throughs his body around and isn't scared to hit. He got laid out a couple times against the gophs, but he always got right up and it didn't seem to slow him down. He is also creative with the puck and is a real goal scorer. He makes mistakes like any freshmen, and early in the season they would pull him then he would get a shift and score. He had really proven himself as a leader. <p></p><i></i>
Re: Yeah but...
What's really interesting is UND intitially didn't even have Oshie playing this year. He was going to pay in the USHL, however, when Brady Murray left the Sioux and went to Europe, they had an opening for Oshie. I think UND has at least 10 freshmen on the roster this year, and half of them forwards. Hard to believe that the Sioux coaches didn't think Oshie wasn't good enough to step right in.<br> <p></p><i></i>
Re: Yeah but...
I didnt necessarily mean they were "duds" persay, just that they aren't doing what Oshie is doing. However, RJ Anderson doesn't look like he belongs out there. Stoa isn't much better. <p></p><i></i>

College section?
I think this topic should be under the college section of the forum.

Re: Yeah but...
Yeah, the Sioux coaches sure are dumba$$es for "almost" making TJ play in the USHL this season. <br><br>They need a guy, like you kickshot, on the staff who can accurately "predict" the impact of a freshman coming to the USHL straight from high school. In fact, Lucia could have used you, too, to let him know how Borgen would turn out.<!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :rolleyes --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/eyes.gif ALT=":rolleyes"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <p></p><i></i>

Re: Yeah but...
Oshie did move here from Washington I believe... so not really a true Minnesota product, but I would say he is good enough to be. <p></p><i></i>
