They had a shot towards respectability last year when they played New Jersey in that great opening-round playoff series...only to regress totally this year. Seattle's a long-shot for the Panthers but the NHL is currently having some quiet discussions with their group regarding the relocation of the Coyotes.

Nice work, Florida Panthers. Would you please vacate Miami tomorrow and fly immediately to Quebec City or Seattle and at least pretend to be a real NHL franchise?

Nice! I'm a bit slow on picking that up tonite LOL!

And this, friends, is the textbook definition of 'exaggeration.'

Onto the topic of shipping and handling...who was my contact in Fargo willing to take care of picking up and distributing hats in that area? Was it you, fargosioux?

Good news, jimdahl. 74 hats is now 75. Problem solved!

H HEAR YE! HEAR YE! JIMDAHL'S GETTING A HAT!

Double effing eh... jimdahl, I'm working on fixing this, OK? With all of the special requests, don't tell this person, I'm paying for that person, etc., I was bound to screw something up, wasn't I? I lost your hat somewhere...

Grey no moniker...I'm ball-parking $15-$20 depending on shipping and handling costs.

Post a pic please!

Tell me I didn't miss a PM or post with your name on it...I'm ball-parking the figure at $15-$17 + $7.50 if you wanted a name on it...if you are picking your hat up in GF or Fargo in person in a few weeks (the how and who of that coming later), you can save on shipping costs. Also, Mpls/St Paul if picking up or meeting me directly too. For a custom-item with low order numbers, it's still more reasonable than an authentic MLB 5950 baseball hat from Lids at your local mall.

The train has left the station, folks...68 SiouxSports.com hats have been ordered, 34 with monikers and 34 without. 6 IceHoggs hats have been ordered, 1 with moniker, 5 without.

Please check the updated list...I think I have everything listed correctly...at least I hope.

This series certainly has the possibility of going 7, doesn't it? Why, oh why does the NBA generate so much hype when the NHL playoffs are infinitely superior?

No problem. Updated hat number will be sent tomorrow morning. If you're not on board by now, well, it sucks to be you.

Every time he scored a goal, you threw a chair at your apartment wall?

NDH doing motivational speaking? That's kind of like joining the group Christians against Christ, isn't it?

Chair going thru your apartment wall...security deposit...what's the first part of the story that I missed?

...and starting in goal for your Mighty Ducks of Anaheim...J...S...Giguere!

Sheesh, Goon, enough already...I got it, I got it...but I have enough special requests for hidden names and secret Santas to make my head explode. I'm trying to keep this as simple as I can but you're not helping. Keep it up and this will be the next list: Black w/moniker ($7.50 additional charge and $20 additional charge on top of that for being a pain in the a** - 1 total) Goon

Whoa, whoa, whoa, Goon, so you're saying that in your opinion, Wayne Gretzky is one of the best to ever play hockey? Talk about going out on a limb! It's not like you're trying to put Marty McSorley in that category...
