  1. Who needs a mature stable experienced defenseman (albeit with some health questions) to eat some PK minutes and teach a young corps? My first thought: Columbus. Plus, they're about capped out so Greene being paid already by LAK would make him cheap to pick up.
  2. People forget that long ago Tim Hennessy was the noob. So was Hammer, Sweeney, Jack Michaels, Ed Schultz, ... and on and on ...
  3. At least Rough Riders would've had some TR (import from NY) personality.
  4. Please let one be on an outline of the State. I think that'd be a good shoulder patch or helmet logo when you already have the context of "North Dakota" from the rest of the uniform.
  5. One person's plain is another person's clean and simple.
  6. I like that the "N" is really an "N" now because the top right piece is clearly defined. (I'm still not sold on the bottom right part of the "N" -- don't need that point.) Can the "D" be made into a real "D" with a center hole?
  7. Not quite. He'd have been perfect if he had a British accent and a white, long-haired cat.
  8. You mean like a cleaned up (finalized) logo, and maybe a secondary mark, that's been around for more than a week?
  9. A 7-1 vote when the ND SBoHE has such a notable Fargo/Cass County/NDSU slant is somewhat stunning. I'd say someone was just given six months notice.
  10. Hall to NJD (for who?) looks like pure and simple salary dump.
  11. Personalities and presence in "the room" matter. Here's hoping both MTL and NAS got what they bargained for and need.
  12. By law, North Dakota had to have the words "North Dakota" near the interlocked ND any time it was used. Thus, the law recognized that the mark, and recognition by the average observer, was for "Our Lady of South Bend" if North Dakota had to specify and clarify when it was using it. As I've already said, anecdotally, during the national championship game, while the ND with "North Dakota" on it (shoulder patch) was displayed on television, I had someone in a pub ask me who Notre Dame was playing. < facepalm >

    2016 Season

    Yup. Agree.
  14. * Then you throw JJ up with Boeser and Gardner (as I optioned). ** I had Hoff centering a fourth line because of his age (three USHL seasons) and experience at center. Most freshmen, even natural centers, don't play center right away. There are exceptions (see: Jost). And when a freshman is put out at center there's normally a defensively responsible winger with them.
  15. August 5, 2005. Over a decade. < stunned >
  16. I know folks are predicting Boeser and Jost together. Allow the resident contrarian to make a point: I recall the pure havoc and utter distress Boeser and Gardner together provided on a Saturday night to WMU (at K-zoo). I suspect something like: Gardner with Boeser and Wilkie. Jost with Gersich and Poganski. Simonson with Janatuinen and Bowen Hoff with Olson and Gornall (scratch: Yon, Smith) You can rotate Wilkie, Pogo, and JJ depending on what's working. Yon and Smith can be spotted in for Olson, Gornall, and Bowen to see what works. If there is a freshman (besides Jost) that can jump into the top six, all the better. It'll create a third line that is not only defensively responsible but very dangerous offensively.
  17. SiouxFan9: That water is already over the dam, under the bridge, and being drunk by a horse that's already left the barn.
  18. Last year's defense could cover for defensive mistakes by forwards and contribute to the offense. This year the forwards can't make those mistakes and must not expect much offense from the blue line. Put another way, last year's defense allowed the forwards to learn and grow. Now those forwards must provide a similar opportunity to the defense.
  19. Did you vote? I did, and my selection did not come out on top.
  20. Whodathunked?
  21. You may be vastly underestimating the amount of nickname fatigue out there.
  22. Hey, maybe you have a new avatar for DaveK.
  23. Dude, I'm talking just logo design, not politics. (You knew that but just couldn't resist, could ya.) That geometric logo is everything that people say is wrong with this one: no color, boring, uninspiring, amorphous, etc. Yet it's well regarded (dare I say loved) for some reason ... or another.
  24. I'm thinking Mr. Cashman needs a personal, pointed, and direct phone call from a Mr. Matthew Frattin.
