What days were those? Kids today know that going to UND or Minnesota doesn't guarantee anything. Kids from Mankato and St Cloud State make the pros too.

Would have been interesting...BEST TEAM WON!

Don't forget about the old Montreal Expos three-color M logo...Expos Le Baseball AND and M...brilliant!

Special thanks to all the veterans on the SiouxSports board today. Happy birthday, America.

I said 'recent' history, Bob. I will put you on the list though. BTW...rest in peace, Bob. http://www.nytimes.com/2011/03/03/sports/hockey/03fighter.html?pagewanted=all&_r=0

You know what's sad? I already thought of that as well...

My post should have been titled 'Good-bye Phoenix.' Sounds like regardless of the outcome of last night's vote, the Phoenix Coyotes have indeed played their last game under that name.

Brendan Shanahan...Darren McCarty...Chris Chelios...yea, Detroit's recent history is full of turtles...

WTF, Goon, didn't you at least take English 101 while at UND? I can't wait to see if Chicago puts Zdeno Chara's name on the Stanley Cup as a thank-you for all of his hard work this post-season. On the ice for 10 of Chicago's last 12 goals...that's pretty tough to do!

Yep, I like it. But since I'm against the Rough Riders for obvious reasons I guess UND can't be 'green' due to the proximity of EGF High School. I guess it's the University of North Dakota Green Rough Knights.

Green Reapers...I like it.

As a Detroit fan, this bugs me to no end...for crying out loud, it's Red Wings, not Redwings. Kind of like writing Fightingsioux instead of Fighting Sioux... Goon, you pay attention to this post too.

I was in Phoenix in December the first year the Jets spent in Phoenix. TERRIBLE sightlines at the old America West Arena so we moved down to the lower level for the third period. The Coyotes upset Pavel Bure and the Vancouver Canucks that day...good game. I agree 100% on the shorts and flip-flops to the game...great time. However, 13,000 and change for a home game this past season doesn't cut the mustard. Terrible decision by Glendale. What a boondoggle they've gotten themselves into. The buyout clause all but guarantees that the team will be gone in five years anyways. A blog post I read a bit ago said it best...'Glendale is re-arranging deck chairs on the Titanic...". I couldn't have put it better myself.

I'm picking up your sarcasm...one of three NHL teams playing to around 80% home capacity this season...yikes.

5-4? Did Gretzky cancel out Bettman's vote?

4-3 vote...Coyotes stay.

The Glendale city council is voting tonight...hello Seattle Thunderbirds?

Which would seem to make sense because SCSU won the MacNaughton Cup and made the Frozen Four this past season...

COPS...filmed on location in Williston...

Now you're really making me feel bad so here's a heads-up...the county sheriff is sending a SWAT team over to your house in just a few minutes (maybe they're already there)...something about a conversation I had with them this morning involving words like 'kilos' and 'Sacred Heart cartel.'

That's what I thought as well...the red skater might be a clue!

A bit off-topic, but the 'new' WCHA has an updated logo... I've always preferred more subdued conference logos...I like the new WCHA version. Curious to see how the multi-color NCHC logo will look on uniforms this year.
