Seriously, I dig that. In hockey they'll be all confused because they grew up seeing that symbol on player's backs. Maybe it will be an advantage in that our guys will never get hit (except by Marvin).

RedFrog, thank you very much for what you do for the rest of us.

Kelley can whine all he wants about how inconvenient the proposed legislation is for him. He can just suck it up. It's not quite the same for those of us forced to give it up but inconvenient is one way to describe it. This feels a lot like the body telling the mind "you might be dead, but we're not willing to go quite yet, so don't pull the plug yet". This will sort itself out one way or the other before too long. Shut up, quit whining and let it run its course. Those of us who "conveniently" have to give up the name would at least like to see every last drop of effort wrung out of the effort to save the name before they pry it from our stiff fingers.

Yeah, but snowmobile helmets are expensive to replace. (I can't believe I stooped to snowmobile jibes)

I'm not so sure we shouldn't be scared of that.

As things shape up right now I agree with you. The Sioux have their destiny in their own hands and an easier on paper schedule than their rivals for the top spot.

I don't totally agree with you here. I understand you to say that when they decide on a nickname they will tell us. My read is it says that when the process of determining a nickname is implemented, we will be informed. Perhaps I have misunderstood your interpretation, but that's my perception. A cynical person might interpret the process has predetermining a nickname. I can't say that won't happen. I'm just hopeful that's not the case. That we'll find out what the process is at the beginning and can watch as things transpire.

I thought my tickets looked right. They had the right section, row and seats on them.

I gotta say, while I agree the Bavarian almonds have a very attractive scent on their own, I'm not a fan of it in the REA. It's certainly unique, but frankly, it's too sweet for a hockey barn.

I thought so and tanked purposefully. Or so I tell myself.....

Sneaky pick. Sly like a fox.... Thanks for this. This board could use more of this kind of thing.

Suppose Goon doesn't realize that the Final Five actually refers to a hockey tournament?

I think the release from UND is pretty much accurate. So I think you can discount these two items

This is not the same story I've heard and I'm comfortable enough from where I heard it that I think your information is not correct. What I've heard is pretty close to what UND released.

Wasn't this the name of the line for Panzer, Lundbohm and Bayda? back in 2001?

Back in '05? I think it was, the line with Massen, Canady and Fabian? was called the Red Pepper line (unofficially around here, anyway). Because they were good grinders.

And coach.

That's about what I would expect from Siouxman

I wasn't quite sure but I think I heard Hak say during postgame that they moved Nelson up during the game, so maybe that's when Hextall moved down? This is my concern. At some point this record is more than a coincidence. The team needs to figure out to bring that in the ol' greens as well. Sooner or later you depend on the Blacks too much and it will lose the effect. Can't keep trotting them out like a pacifier.

MCL Sprain?

Hak: Played best period of the year in the 2nd period. Good 1st too. 2 late goals in 2nd were key to putting the game away. Top line was very good tonight and every else good along with them. Didn't shoot ourselves in the foot with untimely penalties or successive penalties. Great jump and energy, showed on the PK. No time for them on their PP. More complete game than we've played in long time. Like Rowney/Kristo/Nelson a lot. Thought tonight was a breakout game for Brock. Kristo deserved an assist on the PP goal for frustrating the CC d-man enough to draw the penalty . Good to go into the off week on a good note.

Agreed. Turned on the game about 8 minutes in. Sioux looked ragged for a couple of minutes and then seemed to carry play in the last half, generating some good opportunities. Sooner or later a rebound will find the right stick.

Personally I think Rowney is hitting his stride and I don't want to see him sit.
