Well it is really the Houston Aeros, but it might as well be the Wild since the Houston players made up a big part of the Wild's team this year. They almost blew a 3-0 series lead. It went to games 7 and they won 4-3 with about a minute left in the game over Hamilton. They play Binghamton Senators in the finals.

A little off topic but is Danny Irmen(old Minnesota alum forward)still playing in Houston? If he is, is there a chance of him being a NHLer. I suppose if it hasn't happen yet it probably won't.

Nice to hear the Aeros doing well, I know a lot of people want an experienced coach for the Wild but that Mike Yeo is doing amazing things as a first year head coach for the Aeros and he might just be our guy. I don't think he is as green as Richards was coming in either, 4 years as an assistant with Pitt with a Cup and lots of playoff experience to come with it.

It looks like Irmen is in Italy and doing fairly well over there. I really thought he was going to be a great 3rd line grinder type of player who could chip in 15 goals a season, wow was I off.

He was a great college player, a prime example of a guy who would have been an All American and probably a Hobey candidate had he returned to the Gophers for his Sr. season.

I was afraid he went european. It seems he can find alot of former college players there. The money is pretty good and tax free(no income tax) from my understanding or union dues.

I thought the same thing Bear... he was gonna be a NHL regular with his stlyeof play. I like watching him in college and high school. He played at Grand Forks Red River before going Jrs.

It is nice to see a Minnesota based franchise having some success, albeit in a different state. It is nice to have someone to root for that is actually winning some games.

Hey you guys aren't forgetting about titletown (Duluth) are you? wink

Those Potulnys and Irmen are just a tiny little payback for all the great MN players the Sioux have landing over the years. I doubt we ever get even with you guys, the Sioux have harvested untold amounts of talent from MN over the years.

Yeah, but the MN players UND got . . . were the ones the Gophers "didn't really want or go after" according to many Gopher fans. sicklaugh

MN is definitely a battle ground state, with five Minnesota schools, UND, Sconny and top flight big schools all recruiting hard.

I am sure there are a few gopher fans with blinders on. We normally reserve that "we didn't want them" stuff for the smaller MN schools who often get the leftovers once UM, UND, and WI come calling. I guess we have to take UMD off that list now that they have won the big one.

There is a long list of Sioux MN born players who I would have loved to have play for the gophers. I don't even want to list them because I might start crying.

Theres plenty of kids that went elsewhere that I wish we got, but it is the truth, many of kids the U never even bothers to go after. Parise we lost, other then him I cant think of any Sioux players. The biggest ones I remembered were Matt Cullen and Tobey Peterson. I think in the last few years a few more have gotten away, but I dont think the Gophs have recruited as hard either. Back in the day we just knew who we would get. Unfortunately we have to deal with relatives and kids and politics too. Man we have had a few terrible players.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.

      I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      reviving an old thread due to running into the same issue with the same year of house. not expecting anything from yetti and I already have replacement parts ordered and on the way.   I am looking for some input or feedback on how to replace the leaf springs themselves.    If I jack the house up and remove the tire, is it possible to pivot the axel assembly low enough to get to the other end of the leaf spring and remove that one bolt?   Or do I have to remove the entire pivot arm to get to it? Then I also have to factor in brake wire as well then. What a mess   My house is currently an hour away from my home at a relatives, going to go back up and look it over again and try to figure out a game plan.           Above pic is with house lowered on ice, the other end of that leaf is what I need to get to.   above pic is side that middle bolt broke and bottom 2 leafs fell out here is other side that didnt break but you can see bottom half of leaf already did but atleast bolt is still in there here is hub assembly in my garage with house lowered and tires off when I put new tires on it a couple months ago. hopefully I can raise house high enough that it can drop down far enough and not snap brake cable there so I can get to that other end of the leaf spring.
