Wheeler Wooed by Bruins

You guys are a day late and a dollar short.

They "balked" signing him under his agents demands? Are you serious did you even study this before you wrote this article? They gave him the max offer they were able to give. Wheeler declined the offer because of all the solid prospects in the Coyotes organization. He knew he could not make the nhl roster this year so wanted to go somewhere he could.

wheeler is a pussi, I am just glad the Wild didn't get him. Wheeler is a loser.

oh and I almost forgot...Gophers suck. Must be why the little Biatch went there.

Paul, you nailed it man! I think another reason he made the jump was because he didn't want to face the wrath of Big Joe Finley another season. Good riddance, I'm sure Wheelie will suck in the NHL! YEAH SIOUX SIOUX!!!!!

Honestly, is Blake Wheeler someone you want to see when you watch an NHL game? Does hockey really need another Barry Tallackson, only with less heart? I think we will have to go to AHL games to watch Blake Wheeler play pro hockey. Check the career of Hugh Jessiman. This might explain why Blake's whirlwind tour of the hockey world didn't end in New York.

Joe Finley Sucks!!!!!! If he would have went to The U, then he would have at least 2 WCHA regular season titles, and a playoff title. What does he have? Nothing. Oh wait, he has three, count them three frozen four appereances and no national title. Wow, what a great player he is.I wish he was on my team. A big goon and I am sorry but if all you want to do is fight in college hockey then he should have leff long time ago. Last time I checked, fighting was not allowed in college hockey. I am not one to back down from a fight, he should save it for the pros, if he ever makes it there. IF I was Wheeler, I would have really loved to kick the crap out of Finley. He is a goon and so is most of the sioux hockey team.

Really confused here? First, you claim that Big Joe Finley is a goon, he sucks and all he wants to do is fight. Then you follow it up by saying you wish you had him on the rodent bantam squad because he would win Nat'l Championships? What's it going to be? Keep in mind that the Gophs can't develop talent (see Oksposo). Secondly, your poor sentence structure, sporadic thoughts and lack of spell check is indicative of the quality of education you received at Rodent U. Please work on that. Now that we got that out of the way, before you or any other Goph fan comments about our trips to the Frozen Four, take a look at your own team and be thankfully that you even made it to the tournament! Point is, at least the Sioux can make it beyond the first round! YEAH SIOUX SIOUX!!!!!!!!

You can make past the first round, but what do you have to show for it? NOTHING!!

Much rather make the Frozen Four than not at all. Would be nice to win another title when you have chances the Sioux have had but I'm not complaining when the team is good enough year after year to do what they have done.

I agree with the above posters that state that Finley sucks. And so do the Sioux for that matter, especially when it's time to play BC.

Lets all remember who has won more national titles overall. On that note I'd much rather make the frozen four then crawl why way into the postseason. Gopher fans are probably the dumbest people I have ever met in my life. They are the only fans that try to poke fun at another school for not winning the national champion even though they did far better then they beloved ****ty team did. I compare it to this. Would you rather settle for getting head from a hot chick or holding hands with her? Just because we didn't win the national championship, at least we were getting so more play in then your crappy team. The gophers are at best the 3rd best team in Minnesota.

If Finley (oh sorry, BIG JOE FINLEY)is so tough why didn't he go pro like Wheeler did? I guess he's the one who's scared. Keep that facemask on Joey.

Why is Joe Finley, a 1st round pick staying in school at UND? Washington see's him as a total bust. Watch for him to get the pro version of "Being Beaverson'd". "Big Joe the Highway Cone" was truly exposed for the slowpoke that he is many times over last season. If he was as tough as Sue fans say he is he would have a few fights in college under his belt. Keep that facemask on "Slow Joe, the Highway Cone". Skates like Treebeard. only Treebeard is a lot tougher.

This site has the best comment area of ANY site I've been to. Lots of Minny...NoDak...Sconnie smack talk going down. Keep it up...it's good reading. But realize how fortunate WCHA fans are to have such a solid conference. Screw Baaah-ston and the crappy East Coast teams. WESTSIDE!!!

Yeaaaaaaaaa, we got the whinie ND fans back...........yeaaaaaaaa.

As a long time Gopher Season Ticket holder, I am not sorry to see him go... he always played like a guy who was 5' 2". Not a lot of grit. When things were tough, he was no where to be found. The great one knew what he was doing by not signing him....

Hey, it's a privelege to play D1 hockey. Wheeler is no loser, by reasonable thinking. Screw the Sue.

Oh, I almost forgot...I heard that the Sux heavily recruited a winger from Bismarck...oh yeah, she ought to be good! Keep coming over the border for your roster.
