TJ is coming back, Blues fans just want to hold out the slim hope that he'll join them. Don't really blame them. Kinda like we held out the slim hope Toews would be back. Didn't really think it would happen, but still held out hope.
If the town had Sioux in it, I'd hope UND's nickname would be different. It's so dorky when nickname is the same as town name. Like the Detroit Lake Lakers or Red Wing Wingers.
Why do some fans get so upset about other teams being talked about? Especially in a thread like this that is about all teams and their loses. Sioux fans brought up the discussion of how the Gophers will do next year and what their weaknesses will be. Why get your shorts in a knot when a Gopher fan expands upon this? You can't talk about Goligoski and the effect his departure will have on the Gophers and then get all huffy puffy when a Gopher fan talks about the Gophers.
A few Gopher fans have been saying Oshie and Duncan will both leave since Toews left and they keep citing Jordan Parise as a reason. It does seem to be wishful thinking on their part and I'm sure it'll only ramp up with Goli leaving, Osh and Dunc being praised at the Blues camp and UND now considered the WCHA favorite. I highly doubt that will happen though.
But at least the rednecks in Grand Forks can drive relatively well. Fargo's rednecks have to be the worst drivers in the history of this planet. I'm gonna die soon with all the idiots on the road.
I got to say the fact that Fargo media calls Fargo-Moorhead-Dilworth the metro area annoys me to no end. This is not a metro area.
Dangit! This is like the second straight post I've made where someone made the exact same point right before me. BOO!
