I'm old. Please forgive me.

Two future Fighting Sioux skaters named players of the week in USHL: Parks, Schmaltz honored

I also heard he was somehow connected with the Lindbergh baby kidnapping. He might have something to do with crop circles. And Stonehenge, too.

So you're saying the tree that falls in the empty forest makes no sound.

Jebus, people! There are two different things going on here, only one of which matters in the immediacy: DannyK is suffering from a pretty serious weather-related injury. Let's all try to send positive, healing vibes in his direction, and if you are so inclined, pray for his healing and recovery. The longer-term "thing" is that, yes, there is a bit of a pattern of over-indulging on the part of some of the hockey players. I trust the University, the athletic department and the coaching staff also see the pattern, and are or will be addressing it.

I don't recall this one ever developing any legs.

I thought we fired that slacker.

Anyone know anywhere on the internetz where a guy can go talk some hockey?

The Herald is reading this thread

This seems to be what is being talked about.

Did you happen to catch last night's performance?

I think we can cross that off the list.

Not to be a complete a**hole here, but Jesse made a couple of sort of derisive comments about "North Dakota" that probably could've been skipped. They added nothing to his story, nor to the seemingly miraculous ending. Good luck to him as he continues to heal and rehab.

It would be an interesting test of the NCAA's powers, no?

Please pardon the crude artwork. Spirit Lake already gave the University permission to use the logo. Just got to change the nickname.

Wow! A 21-year-old freshman. And I see he's picked up his penalty minutes again: 115 in 30 games this year.

Serious business, this internet is.

I'm telling you, do not count out Spirit. I am not a fan, but I keep hearing whispers...

Here's my take: the Pairwise only matters on the day the tournament field is chosen and seeded. It has absolutely no bearing on any other day of the year. I suppose one could argue that expanding the TUCs might influence how a team schedules non-conference opponents, but aside from that the Pairwise "rules" have nothing to do with actually playing hockey.

It's not like they are changing the rules of the game. No team would've played a game any differently had they known this was going to happen.

This is the attitude the team has to adopt. Well put.

ND higher ed board won't actively fight proposed legislation on Fighting Sioux nickname

Really misleading headline. But an interesting article nonetheless.

Yes, I'd agree with this. Yes, our power play is not good at all: 18 goals in 102 opportunities (17.6%) is nearly woeful. Add to that giving up 3 shorties... I do disagree with your characterization of Genoway's play; it took him awhile to get back to speed, but since then he has added that "whoa! watch out for this guy" dynamic to the Sioux attack. I'd imagine that opposing players cringe when they see Chay heading up ice with the puck. Yes.

I agree with you about the atmosphere in The Ralph, but differ in that the M-I-N-N-E-S-O-T-A thing is kinda cool to me.
