I can't think of a team who has more shots blocked than this year's Fighting Sioux squad.

^Sweep.

"Bloodbath"? "Kill"? Sounds to me like someone's taking a game a little too seriously. (And yes, I'm serious.)

^You're kidding, right? You really believe that?

So, Huntsville is Gonesville. http://www.al.com/sports/index.ssf/2011/10/uah_hockey_to_lose_division_i_1.html Sad to see an already small community lose one of its own.

^Same problem for me.

I blame my hair loss on the nickname thing. Just sayin'

The Sioux have a bunch of kids who've just had illustrated to them how difficult college hockey is. And how much faster, and more physical it is than junior hockey. The team needs to take a deep breath and regroup. They need to work really hard on their defensive responsibilities in front of their own goal. The missed passes are just timing; that will get better on its own. Be interesting to see how many Maine skaters are left untouched between the dots Friday.

That line won't be skating together in a month's time.

^Methinks Frank has been raiding Doug's liquor cabinet.

Wyobisonman is on point here. Carlson is stirring up a hornet's nest. It appears to me the majority leader has the SBOHE in his sights, and is locked and loaded. This nickname stuff is just a red herring hiding his real motive.

^I bet the insurance company denies the payment. If the kid fills out the claim form with his name, they'll say he wasn't the right person to take the shot, and therefore ineligible to win the dough. If he fills it out with his twin's name they'll go after him for insurance fraud. I hope someone from the community steps up and shoves some money the kid's way.

Walking???? (I'm kidding, friend.)

That's a horribly-written article and is fraught with errors. The writer is correct in that the nickname will be changed, but the article itself is almost unreadable.

This is a horribly-written article that says, essentially, nothing.

I am a proud J-School grad; it was a sad, sad mess to watch that program be butchered alive.

Is this from personal experience?

Time to stock up on Pepto-Bismol.

Juvenile Turncoat. I kid.

UND and Denver are clearly the big dogs in the conference. I'm not saying that is a bad thing at all; in fact, after years and years of having to put up with second-class treatment at the hands of the inept WCHA "leadership", I'd say North Dakota deserves to be in the driver's seat. Our favorite team is one of a handful of big dogs in all of college hockey; they should be treated as such in their home conference.

From the looks of things Faison and Dasher Dwarf were having kind of a two-man lovefest, so I'd say the "power" in the NCHC is clearly centered in Grand Forks and Denver. I'm 100% serious.

+1

Did NR make up the part about people saying the Vikings are offensive? Or were they referring to the quality of the football team?

That's how I found out.

The fact that hockey can't seem to attract any support at NDSU is sort of surprising, considering one of the athletic directors has a long history with the sport.
