      Re: North Dakota Offseason Thread

      Thought you guys might get a kick out of this. Think anyone in the QMJHL is making a call to see if they can somehow send him to North Dakota after all?

      Devils first-rounder Stefan Matteau reportedly quits B-B Armada, travels home on fan bus

      Details are slowly being filled in, but Stéphane Leroux (@StephRDSJunior) of Réseau des sports (RDS) is reporting that Matteau has quit the Armada, who are down 2-0 in to Baie-Comeau in a QMJHL semifinal series.
      Both RDS and QMI Agency states that the 19-year-old Matteau did not even take the team bus home after being benched during the third period on Saturday.
      Is the awkwardness doubled, trebled or quadrupled since the forward's father, former NHLer Stéphane Matteau, is a member of the Armada's coaching staff?

        Out of all of the recent defections from NoDak's committed recruits, Matteau was not missed for long. If you took a poll on SS.com you would find the same I think. Kid has had quite a few issues.

          I got to see him play quite a bit in the WJC and a couple NHL games, and he seemed like an undisciplined bruiser. I don't know a single thing about his attitude or personality (other than these preliminary reports of him quitting), but I definitely wouldn't mind getting/having another bruiser this year (12-13) or next year (13-14). You're right though, I'd definitely rather have J.T. Miller 100% of the time at this point. Sounds like this guy will have a long road of growing up to do before he really can prove himself.

            Matteau is a cheap hack and him decommiting was nothing but a blessing. He gave St Clair a concussion in the USHL, and has served a lot of multi-game suspensions for cheap shots in both the Q and USHL. There's a difference between being a tad undisciplined and being a thug. Couldn't be happier he didn't show up.

              So New Jersey spent a first rounder on an enforcer?

              From what I've read, glad he passed on UND.

                I'll have to disagree with some of our fans on this one. This story doesn't give me any particular glee or happiness. More than anything I feel disappointment.

                The kid obviously has some talent, and maybe even an NHL future ahead of him. He's young. He just needs to do some growing up.

                Putting him in the Canadian juniors, and giving him an early shot at the NHL were obviously not the correct steps. You wish someone could have stepped in and given him some good advice.

                He probably could have benefited from heading west to North Dakota, taking on the discipline of a college course of study and foregoing the early cup of coffee in the NHL. He would have seen plenty of playing time, and would have had a chance to grow up. Meanwhile, UND would have received the benefit of a talented recruit. It really seems like a "lose, lose" situation to me.
                That community is already in the process of dissolution where each man begins to eye his neighbor as a possible enemy, where non-conformity with the accepted creed, political as well as religious, is a mark of disaffection; where denunciation, without specification or backing, takes the place of evidence; where orthodoxy chokes freedom of dissent; where faith in the eventual supremacy of reason has become so timid that we dare not enter our convictions in the open lists, to win or lose.

                      Didn't even get the Bad Boyz thread going. But really, 2 of the 4 were involved in the September incident--slow learners?

                          Because all people who drink in college get in trouble with the cops multiple times.

                            It's not like it's an assault charge? Two minors. The majority of people without minors just didn't get caught. Plain and simple.

                              I agree that the majority of people without minors just didn't get caught. But I think that when people get minors, they are doing stupid stuff that draws attention to themselves and then the police get involved. It isn't just drinking. I drank 3-5 nights a week in college and didn't turn 21 until the summer after my junior year. Never got a minor.

                                A minor getting caught with booze the first time is one thing--getting caught the second time is not just a minor in possession, it's a stupid minor in possession. And when one of those present gets a noise ordinance citation, it's a real stupid minor in possession.
