Much to the chagrin of Fighting Sioux hockey fans Lets Go DU is reporting that DU bad boy Geoff Paukovich is forgoing his senior year of college to sign an professional contract with the Edmonton Oilers.
For Sioux fans this is a bitter sweet moment because we will never get to see Pauko get his due, at least in the college ranks. Geoff Paukovich will be remembered most for his dirty hit on beloved Sioux defender Robbie Bina that nearly left Bina paralized during the 2005 semi final game of the WCHA Final Five. It's not an understatement to say that he won't be missed in Grand Forks, ND.
Most Sioux fans will remember Geoff Paukovich for his being on the wrong end of a vicious cup check from Sioux tough guy Mike Prpich.
Goon's World would like to wish Geoff good luck in the professional ranks. My advice to Paukovich is to clean up his act and play hockey straight up, because if you cheap someone at the next level you won't be able to hide behind the refs and turtle, someone along the way will come to collect...
At least you're still not bitter!!
ReplyDeleteI was hoping we could get a little revenge on Punk-o-bitch. But oh well, he might get his just desserts in the minors or the NHL. I wonder how he will fair against the Boogey-man?
ReplyDeleteNice video. Who posted that?
ReplyDeleteI don't think that he'll make it very far in the pros. He isn't a tough guy, although he has the size for it.
And he hasn't been a standout scorer in college.
I could be wrong, sometimes people games are better suited to the Pros then college.
