What you don't realize, dagies, is that Glenn would explode if he didn't have something like this to do in the off season. That being said, I, too, want to thank him for his excellent synopsis.

There's a place called (I think) The Frame Shop just west of Scheel's in that same strip mall. They have framed photos of both the old and new arenas. I have also seen them at Columbia Mall, Barnes and Noble and perhaps a few other places that I can't recall offhand.

I've seen those photos on sale at local frame shops and a few other places, but I can't remember what they were going for. If I see one again, I'll check on the price.

Is there any other way to hunt? As a SD native, this seems like the perfect opportunity to brag about shooting a jackrabbit on the run with a .22 out out of my moving Bronco while I was driving. Oh ,yeah, and I was on the cell phone at the time.

What a coincidience that was, ay? Congratulations to Travis. He is a credit to the Fighting Sioux tradition.

Tell me about it!

Hey, what's wrong with the press box???!!!

Do you mean that organization also known as the NC Nay Nay? I had lots of fun with them at the Frozen Four in Providence. A well-known local media figure (who shall remain nameless) told me that in his view, the NCAA ruined the Frozen Four when it noticed there was money to be made and took over the event.

I really like Canady and McMahon. I agree that it doesn't seem right to put them on the fourth line. On the other hand, if those two guys are on the fourth line, it's because some other players are doing very well, which gives the Sioux one heck of a fourth line. Massen played most of last season with a bum knee. Despite that, I saw him do some things that demonstrated his potential. Maybe it's not saying much, but he was simply awesome against Michigan Tech. I also remember his breakaway goal that Blais said very few forwards in the WCHA could have scored. A healthy Massen teamed with a playmaker like Parise and corner man like Lundbohm might make a good combo.

I said I wasn't going to make an predictions about line combinations for next season, but my daydreaming and Sicatoka's comments got the better of me. Here goes. 1st Line Scorer: Brandon Bochenski Corner man: Quinn Fylling Playmaker: Chris Fournier Prediction: Plays great! More Fylling! When Fournier and Bochenski are reunited, their USHL chemistry returns. Fylling

Dagies, I know you did. I just wanted to see if you were too humble to admit it.

I can imagine of some line combinations that I think would be effective. But I know that I'll just end up looking dumb when next season starts and Blais starts shuffling people around. It would be fun to look back in old threads to see if anyone predicted the lines of Bayda/Ulmer/Goren, Bayda/Lundbohm/Panzer or even Bayda/Skarperud/Bochenski in their preseason analysis. Gee, anyone notice the common thread in those lines? We're going to miss him.

I'm not going to make any predictions about who will score how many goals, but I don't think the Sioux will have any problems offensively next season.

I think Engelstad's intention is to make it too expensive for UND to ever change the name. I'm beginning to wonder if Ralph isn't trying to make it too expensive for UND to ever take over the operation and maintenance of the new arena.
