Actually they're the Capitals with an "a" but let's not get bogged down in semantics...I'm offended by Congress' approval rating too.

But since "America" didn't actually exist until white people established the United States of America, wouldn't the nickname "Americans" be considered racist as well?

Sorry, I didn't mean that to sound like you were indeed rooting for Price to be unable to play...I was speaking in general terms about myself and how I'd feel...

If I didn't know any better, Goon, I'd say you're nothing but an "obstructionist" Republican standing in the way of progress. If the GOP wrestles control of the Senate away from the Democrats in the next election, how quickly will Harry Reid reverse the reversal of his stance on the filibuster?

I agree with what you're saying...but I wouldn't "wish" Price being unable to play...I'm sure most Rangers don't either. New York vs LA sounds like a nice NHL Stanley Cup Finals...

Yea, there's no way the Rangers ever come back from being down against the Penguins...oh, wait. It's possible. The Canadiens are still a dangerous team.

Neither Gibson nor Hiller was impressive in game 7...like I said, they might be willing to kick the tires on Ryan Miller...assuming they're going to tell Hiller to hit the road. San Jose's an option - although I think they're more likely to think Joe Thornton is the problem and not goaltending. How about a dark-horse, Tampa Bay? Their goaltending when Bishop went down was atrocious.

I bet Anaheim might be willing to take a look at Ryan Miller...

Miller becomes an unrestricted free agent this summer. I assume the plan was the Miller would take the Blues to the Stanley Cup finals and re-sign a big contract upon the season's end. Plan A failed...Elliott's Plan B.

Everything about that stereotype just pisses me off to no end... My brother-in-law and my sister both attended NDSU and graduated with degrees in architecture. They currently run a very successful business in the TC west metro and have immense talent in that field. They put their education to use not only for their business, but also in remodeling their own house as well. In addition, both served their country quite admirably as service members. My dad also went to NDSU and graduated with a degree in engineering. He worked a short time for Caterpillar in Illinois, then took his skill-set to use for the United States Navy on the USS Epperson in the late 1960's, before returning to North Dakota to take over the family ranch from my grandfather. While you may not consider him a "businessman" by your definition, I admire him like no one else. On any given day, he could fix five-ten miles of fence, keep 300+ cattle safe under his watch in the harshest of winters, and take apart almost any piece of farm machinery and fix it himself, all while providing and caring for his family, not to mention making some time to watch his kid play some basketball in grade and high school. I don't know how he ever found the time for it all... I can promise you this: If your car is ever out of gas, your tire is flat, or you need some general assistance on Highway 85 about 23 miles north of Belfield, he will GUARANTEED offer to help you in any way he can -- and won't say a word about your University of North Dakota license plate frame and Fighting Sioux Indian-head sticker in your back window. He'll no doubt turn down any money you'd like to offer him in appreciation, wish you well, and send you on your merry way. You can drive away mumbling all you like about NDSU ranch hillbillies...he won't care at all. I bet I could find dozens of UND law school students or graduates who would sooner book a summer crabbing in Alaska as opposed to work three months on my dad's ranch. The very notion that every graduate of NDSU who chooses farming or ranching as a career is somehow worthy of scorn and contempt from UND graduates like yourself makes my blood boil. In general, your commentary is "a joke." Anyone who doesn't believe that North Dakota consists of two very fine universities in UND and NDSU needs to have their head examined.

Whew! I guess it's a good thing that the President of the United States bureaucrats in Cincinnati are making sure they do their best to de-rail anything Tea Party related by putting the IRS to work...

I don't know of any Catholic or Methodist group resorting to kidnapping and forced conversion, do you? Were you forced to convert to Christianity when you moved to Arizona?

Good grief, Torii Hunter hit that ball a mile! And did I mention how much I liked the Fielder for Kinsler trade? Yea, I think I did!

I'll have to consult with Oxbow6 on this just to be sure, but I'm pretty positive that that's the Scouts road BLUE uniform and not the home white one...

I'm no fan of the Dallas Cowboys, but they were pioneers of the white jerseys at home movement. Genius.

That wasn't the reason the NHL mandated the change. And actually, it's red vs white now for EVERY home game in Chicago as opposed to white vs black, red, blue, green, etc...

With all due respect, are you predicting a UND playoff appearance this upcoming season? Or 2015? If Bubba can pull that rabbit out of his hat, he'll Craig Bohl his way into FBS as well.

Like button x 10,000!

That's because last place is currently only 2-3 games behind Minnesota. One White Sox or Indians sweep of Minnesota and they could easily be back in the cellar.

...2nd place and 6.5 games out of 1st place. It's the middle if May! The AL Central is awful.

Thunderbirds! Sure seems to be a secretive effort to put a team there...

Come on now...a few more Twitter followers to "Bring back our girls" and this group in Nigeria will no doubt crack under international pressure...

I'm sure it really bothers NDSU football players and coaches who are wearing 1, 2, or 3 NCAA championship rings that they didn't get to play UND at some point during that run.

I'm surprised Matt Greene doesn't get more love from fans on the board here. He has really turned himself into quite an inpressive NHL player.

Canadiens...Blackhawks...Rangers...and a member of the Class of '67...couldn't have asked for a better Final Four. Well, unless the Red Wings were in there, but that's about it...
