TSN...keeping you up-to-date on all the latest trade rumors!

...still works!

Just double-checking the phone, Sicatoka...

Yes, thankfully the nickname is gone so that ISIS won't attack Grand Forks, UND won't be closed permanently, and whatever else was supposed to happen if the Sioux name wasn't scrapped. Whew!

What was the score of the game when they left the ice?

Technically, the 2012 team was the last one to wear that uniform - at least until the NCAA tournament started. I get what you're saying though, because a title in 2012 would have been captured in Sioux-less jerseys.

I tried bringing that back in 1989-1990...it worked for a game or two but I guess my fellow students liked saying s**t better.

Sheesh, give that team some effin' credit, would'ja? They watched a teammate get his head stuffed into the boards during the Final Five and promptly have a bunch of screws attached to his head for what, the next 6 months, yet the season's a failure because they didn't "overcome" that along with some other injuries and hang a banner? I'm stunned they won the Final Five 3rd place game that year, let alone put together 3 more wins after that en route to the national championship game. One of the gutsiest Sioux team performance I can ever recall, in my humble opinion, national championship or not.

Got this to work from my, er, Blackheart's iPhone...

I'm getting about as upset as this Falcons assistant coach...

Kelley waved a magic wand thanks to some t-shirts and - POOF! - a $100K a year "diversity" job was instantly created. Meeting with tribal leaders regarding saving the school name? Meh...too much work.

Dammit anyways! My authentic Jokinen Maple Leafs jersey I bought a week ago from River City Sports hasn't even arrived in the mail yet!

Sorry, Fetch, I dropped the ball on this yesterday...

Word on the street is that Adam Hauser and Grant Potulny are on Fletcher's wish-list.

Sooooo predictable.

Quick, who is paid more for coaching hoops at UConn, Geno Auriemma or Kevin Ollie?

She's Canadian...does that help?

How about the fact that any time a former Gopher is rumored to be on the market, the talk about the Wild acquiring him bombards local media? Can we get Thomas Vanek? Hey, how about Jordan Leopold? Does Phil Kessel want to come back? Not to mention that every Gopher fan I know owns a Parise Wild jersey...yet when he played at North Dakota, they absolutely DESPISED him. Mentioned that to one buddy and got the "yea, but he's from Minnesota" line. As expected, I suppose.

Apparently Eastview came out for the 2nd period of their 2nd game of the day on Saturday, then promptly left the ice to "protest" the officiating.

Did anybody attend any of the games this past weekend? I heard Eastview's A team made quite the statement. Is this the norm nowadays at some of these "kid" tournaments? I've heard plenty of stories of fights, coaches being ejected, parents getting into it in the stands, and even host town hotel rooms being trashed by visiting teams. We even heard about the dance competition at Target Center a few weeks ago. Winners allegedly cheating, losers refusing medals, Little League teams stacking rosters...Is this what youth sports is coming to?

nattys...stateys...me thinks you have had too many drinkeys.

Only 6 championships in 31 years? What's the problem there at Central? (I kid, I kid)

Yuk yuk yuk. You two are a riot. Rick Astley is not on my iPod. However, Paul Hardcastle's "19" and Falco's "Rock Me Amadeus" were recent additions.

Because she's a strong outspoken gay woman and gfhockey wants more diversity in the coaching ranks?

Technically not correct. St Cloud State was the top seed, but was eliminated by Miami in the first round. North Dakota was the highest remaining seed.
