Just as I was talking to a friend about seeing Sanderson's skating ability in person...... My fault. Hope they find a way.

Well hockey is niche according to you so why do you care?

We definitely could have run with no nickname. I love this. No Sioux logo on it so those who get offended can't get offended, and that ugly US postal service bird isn't on it so those that won't buy anything that has the hawk are more likely to buy it.

I remember my dad talking to Mark Kauk (aka the Kauker) at state hockey years ago after Central dropped the Redskins and became the Maroon and Grey. He was ticked and I proudly saw him wearing his redskins beanie for years after when we would run into him at state hockey to chat for a bit. I think it speaks to your point that Central was only the M&G for maybe 2 years before Knights was adopted I believe? IMHO not taking a name for a few years (5 years at least) may have eased the transition to something else at UND, a cooling off period per say. Would our fan base be having the same argument had the school went with Norse or Nodaks? Probably.

I'll forever die on the no new nickname hill after Fighting Sioux was retired. There are a thousand teams out there that are the hawks. The one I truly hoped for was Nodaks when they decided that we needed a nickname, but I was in the minority there I guess. New alternate looks good IMHO.

I'm a fan. Be nice to have a road version too. Am I the only one that would love to see an all green look. Just one more time?

Winning just enough to fall out of being able to draft a franchise tackle or guard in the top 10. Who am I kidding Zim would take a corner. Getting us excited before A-Rog....great..

Savoie gets NCHC forward of the week. Surprised/not surprised he got to play Friday....

Talk to me when Sanderson, Kleven, and Frisch are all back next season. Nothing against this group, or other great d corps we had, but IMHO that 2016 group was the bees knees. Start to finish, just a dominant season.

The top four guys we have at D are pretty good. IMHO not at the 2016 level though. Stecher, Poolman, Ausmus, LaDue, Thompson, Wolanin/Shaw....what a group..... We've been spoiled.

If you are insinuating that the NCAA may or may not have used a number of their "dives" in an embellishment video......

True test #2 visits REA this weekend. Reigning NCHC goalie of the week Ryan Fanti and the always good defensively bulldogs are in town after taking five of six points against @Godsmack's second favorite team. I was a bit on the fence about how good Denver was after their showing here, but they swept a pretty good Western team (albeit at Magness where the rules are different). I think this Duluth team is better than Denver, time will tell. The story will be the Jammer line vs. Whatever line has Noah Cates on it. They've experimented with breaking up the Kobe (plural) line, but you could see them together again. Heart says 4 points, head says split. Wife says, "shovel the driveway and stop posting."

On a surprising note, the Pioneers have had more power plays than the opposing team at Magness arena.

So the 5-5 Hawks go to Brookings. SDSU is going to need a win to try and get seeded for the post. Very very small chance the Hawks make it, but if they were 6-5 what would they need to get in?

*4th line guys can't take penalties....period.....never. Your whole role in life is to not get scored on and eat minutes/save legs.

A win is a win. Get on the plane and focus on Duluth.

How many shots does Miami have?

Come on stripes. We are killing ourselves but if we are gonna go tight on the calls it has to be both ways.

I am for whatever moves the football down the field and consistently scores points.

Just keep rolling lines and playing the right way.

Bubba ball baby. We win 14-7.

Keep rolling green. Those plays happen. Lots of game left.

South Dakota State....seriously. 4th and 1 with Pierre Strong and you throw it? Or crap, punt it out of the endzone...

Us beating the bunnies now doesn't do anything. Win your last home game seniors.

Bubba at half. -We get the ball the 2nd half, gotta get points. -Gotta take care of the ball. 7-0 Hawks.
