Crisis averted in Philadelphia! http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2776735/Philadelphia-Flyers-ditch-male-cleaning-crew-announce-squad-scantily-clad-Ice-Girls-return-rink.html An all-male ice cleaning crew? "Bill, it's Ted. Get me the marketing department NOW. Someone's head is gonna roll over this."

Seriously? Hakstol hasn't even lost a game yet this season! #black_out or #blacked_out ?

Forgotten about Joel Lovelien?

Nice...it works with a name that doesn't have "North" and "Dakota" in it...

I kid you not, Sicatoka, I was literally going to write that exact same thing and then decided against it because I thought I might offend someone...

I don't understand the group of folks who think that having the word "north" appear in the school name AND the nickname is an OK idea... NORTH Dakota NORTHern Lights? NORTH Dakota Warriors of the NORTH? Really? As much as the Nokota horse is cool, is a combination of "North" and "Dakota" in the nickname the best we can offer? And is it Nokota or Nokotas? Nokoti?

I was being facetious...lots of long-time Blackhawks fans on the board here but an equal number of newbies who jumped on-board after Toews joined the team and won his first Stanley Cup. As for me, I'm just an old fuddie duddie Red Wings fan who still can't get over seeing Detroit lose game 7 at home to Pittsburgh in 2009...

I said it a long time ago...there's an infinitely better chance of Toews bringing the cup to SSM in Faribault than there is of him ever bringing it to GF. Best bet for a return visit to the area would be Oshie and Warroad.

How about some pictures of the club hockey jerseys?

You don't say...

Uh oh...I'll get the popcorn...

Kansas City vs Oakland...what a game!

Welcome to the redundant department of redundancy.

Yep. SiouxSports.com Rule #19: You must cheer for Jonathan Toews and be a Blackhawk fan...or else you aren't a true Sioux fan.

I'm goin' white this weekend. Hook 'em 'Horns!

Red Wings forever. Minnesota isn't the same without the N-star logo.

Bison rube!

...and expensive!

Michigan State had plenty of empty seats when the school hosted Minnesota last year - win and the Spartans clinched a B10 championship game berth. The defending Rose Bowl champs didn't even sell out last weekend's Homecoming game. The media and ABC were practically giddy while showing downtrodden home fans and empty rows of bleachers last weekend at Michigan Stadium. I guess it becomes a point of emphasis when the home team is losing.

Michigan rumored to be looking for a new AD... SMU rumored to be interested in Mack Brown as head coach...

It is like a different planet out there, isn't it?

Bantams forever!

The fix is in if Jake Mauer is named manager.

Pretty much expected - not his fault that the Twins held onto players too long and got little, if anything, in return on a trade (Morneau, Willingham) and sign guys to crippling contracts (Mauer)...

Aren't you just waking up from one?
