The Green Bay fire-sale sent Perbix to DM for Meyer and Herrmann and Ethan Frisch to Fargo for Gurney and O'Reilly. https://www.ushl.com/page/show/1434570-ushl-suspensions-and-transactions Force: https://www.fargoforce.com/news_article/show/998556

I heard second-hand whispers that Green Bay (USHL) held a roster fire-sale over the weekend. Should be interesting to see who lands where ... UND's at CC Saturday. I think I'll go to a Fargo Force game instead.

Coaches create a game plan and set expectations. Team leaders ensure that the team is ready to go, to meet expectations, and execute the plan. Being ready to go every night, every shift, not having ups and downs, is a maturity issue. Historically we've been blessed with some self-starters and some folks that have that and the natural ability plus the ability to make those around them better. (See Parise, Toews). What I don't see right now is that guy in the upper classes. I don't see that inspiring leader. I see a couple self-motivated, self-starter folks, but nothing that stands out as "so follow me" natural leadership. I see flashes of natural leadership in 19 because he's always there (consistent maturity), but talent-wise he'll never be confused for a Parise or Toews. But, right now, I'd take a Mario Lamoureux, Rylan Kaip, Mike Prpich, Peter Armbrust type leader. I really like Colton Poolman's game and play, but he's not that leader, I don't see that spark (whatever it is). I don't see it in the others with letters either. Frankly, I don't see it in any of the upper classes. I didn't see it last year either (Pogo et al). But I do see a glimmer of something in 19.

@MafiaMan @Blackheart Some seem to be playing fast and lose with the Queen's English. I sure hope we don't loose control of the language.

With an internal testing program and a supplements consultant there a lot I'd think it'd be possible to come up with a levels management approach to stay just below detectable or NCAA allowable.

It'll be a mile north of Horace at County 17 and 76th Avenue, so, yes, they'll have to redraw the Sheyenne lines at minimum.

Same thing is happening in Fargo. South's strong suits will go (have gone?) from football and hockey to BB and soccer with changing demographics. Davies (newest area, higher socioeconomic realm) will take over in football and hockey. Expect the same in West Fargo as in Grand Forks with the Packers being Central and WF Sheyenne being Red River, Or South is WF and Davies is Sheyenne. Bismarck (BHS, CHS, LHS) just doesn't seem to follow this pattern ... yet.

Say what? Can't find that news.

Nope. And that's just fine. https://fightinghawks.com/news/2019/2/14/north-dakota-unveils-2019-football-schedule.aspx

The ice on Copacabana Beach isn't so great. It would slow them down.

Wilber ... off the top rope ... down goes Davies!

I'll cut that PxP guy some slack. He's trying to read numbers on the backs of those Bismarck jerseys.

That's where you have the circle of sticks, right?

Caveat emptor.

And a fifth ... ... round draft kind, not the @MafiaMankind.

NHL Radio on SiriusXM is saying Boston is getting Coyle.

Um, $85,000,000.00 in misappropriated UCF / State of Florida funds isn't exactly ... "Whoops". And to think that dude did all that in just 8 months.

That's the problem. We haven't had a lawn mower tossin' man for a while. Can I at least get someone to freeze off a couple toes walking barefoot across a golf course in January? Will someone at least take a freakin' leak in an elevator!!! Maybe they can hold a Sunday night Judy's team meeting to discuss this and then get 'chauffeured' by GFPD.

I really want to see a picture of this QB and Freund side by side. I suspect they are nominally the same height.

That's because there are so many FBS MAC schools that hit Michigan hard.

If he was 6'4" he'd be at Michigan State. If he was 6'3" he'd be at one of the Michigan MAC (FBS) schools.

Dean Blais doesn't work here anymore.

The longer there is no official word on Scheel it is a _____________.
