Of the five choices, Nodaks is clearly the best choice. I don't wanna get on my Roughriders soapbox, but there's already a Roughriders in this town. That should have been the end of that story right there. Fighting Hawks? I'm having trouble finding something, ANYTHING, that could be more generic than that. I might have gotten on board with Prairie Hawks. North Stars? So now we get to go from having to explain the history of the interlocking ND because we keep being asked, "Notre Dame fan, huh?", to having to explain away an NHL franchise that no longer exists. That'll be fun! And Sundogs? Nope. Just because nope. Plus I think Northern Pike should have made the cut. So there's that...

Went to the game this morning with my boys. They put some sting on the ball, but just couldn't find any holes. Couple timely hits and a couple mental mistakes in the 8th cost 'em. Bakersfield takes it 7 nil.

YES! In opposing teams buildings!

Well, I'll put this out there even though it'll be ridiculed. But I really don't care. First of all, stop with the Rough Rider stuff. That's taken. Secondly, Here's what I like: 1) Fighting Sioux 2) No nickname 3) if there has to be a nickname that isn't Fighting Sioux, I like Northern Pike. Why? It's the state fish. Not a lot of teams use a fish so that makes it unique. Goes with our color scheme. One hell of a freshwater predator. Same cadence as Fighting Sioux. That is all for now...

Maybe I've missed this conversation, but it seems to me that Nick Schmaltz is fighting the game. Anyone else see it that way?

100% correct, scpa. Cam didn't have any help on two of the three. Even the goal that they tallied on Zane was a result of a WHOLE LOT of standing around and watching. I say throw him back in there tonight.

Keep in mind that the guys burying the puck for us down the stretch were replacement walk-ons for highly drafted recruits who decided to bail out. The two things I'm looking at with guys returning next year are Luke Johnson and Drake Caggiula. I think they will be keys. And I think both are capable if 15-20 goals. We'll be just fine.

My bride and I are hittin' the road! Gotta beat the weather. Gonna hole up in Sauk Center tonight. GO SIOUX!! See those of you going, down there!

Zero "stones" on the blue line. I think it's time for Schmaltz and Mattson to watch until after Christmas break...

I know it's probably not, but he was BRUTAL tonight...

Is the correct answer to #5 Schmaltz?

Show the first intermission report where they talk about college football the ENTIRE intermission during a college hockey game.

Yup. And in the championship game, it took Sandy about two shifts to have an adjustment for the trap that Michigan was running. Tells you something...

Yale absolutely beat our a$$es all over the ice. Again, Hakstol either can't or won't make in game adjustments.

Gotta get two in the third! Gleason has been brutal!!

The truth of it is, and give all the credit to Yale, Minnesota played like the silver spoon, cake eaters they are. That program thinks that they're entitled to something. You gotta play the game. Heck with 'em!

It would have been nice if someone from the airport authority could have talked with Allegiant and said, HEY! You have flights out of Grand Forks. You have Flights out of Grand Rapids. Any chance we could get two flights from GF to GR on Thursday, and two flights from GR to GF on Sunday?

Well played!!

Go back to GPL and stay there. Ridiculous post or not, if you care enough about your team, then you you shouldn't care one bit about what's being said here.

Doesn't matter who wrote it. The only thing I can think of right now that's more insignificant is the half time show at the superbowl...

Two things: Paging Carter Rowney. Come in Carter Rowney. Maybe I'm wrong here, but the first five, six seeks of the season I thought the freshman line of Grimaldi, Caggiula. and St. Clair looked unreal. They were a high enerry "buzz buzz" line that kept everyone on the ice back on their heels. Can't understand why that line was broken up.

I got One Goal, a couple sweet long sleeve t's and the new jersey in green. My wife got a longsleeve t and a new hoodie. The kids got new UND granny pants and some little things (key lanyards, tree ornaments etc. etc.) in their stockings. My three year old LIT UP when he opened his foam finger!!

I can't think of anything more insignificant than what someone in Hollywood thinks of North Dakota.

Just another way for them to get another $60 $59.23 out of you but adding a number after market.

You missed Rodwell. I would think that if he's healed up that he'd get penciled back into his spot in the line up.
