I have no idea if those logos were in those places last year, honestly. Your word/memory versus Hodgson's, I guess. I have no reason to disbelieve either of you haha. If the list of what he provided was new adaptations and uses of the logo, I see that as a step forward.

The ND word mark is absolutely a part of the marketing brand. The logo, as he just said, will be placed many other places, this year. Again, take it as a step forward instead of such a travesty of justice.

He literally just gave you a list of all the ways the logo will be integrated further and yet this doesn't do it.... C'mon, give a little! Cripes! The new text is 100% a part of the new brand. Maybe if you see everything as a step forward instead of demanding a leap, this will ease your mind a little.

Couldn't care less if he takes offense to it, nor how much money he makes. Because he did nothing with the Gophers, the situation itself and the face he made, he will always be this to me:

I guess I'm confused... are you saying that I am TOO positive about my team? lol.

Definitely agree with this... also, I have a hunch that that kind of trend won't continue and this should make us hopeful. No way we miss the same amount of open nets this year. Just not mathematically possible

We have to quit comparing teams to 15-16. That is a once in a generation team. The were a ridiculous blend of stud D and forwards. Drafted and undrafted players. We have enough talent left this year and coming in to win four games in late March and early April, in my opinion.

As the second youngest player in the USHL, no less. I'll take the blame for it haha. People are seeming to be excited about a kid that compares to another kid coming into our roster this year. Hain is comparable and is definitely coming to UND. Not sure there's a spot for Weiss.

Mancinelli... I've heard some good stuff about this kid.

Si, senor. Agreed to all. Plus, the group of recruits on the blueline that we have coming in the next handful of years, starting in 18-19 is the best in the country, hands down. This is constantly ignored. Tychonick, JBD and Kleven have the potential to be stars.

Don't take that as a dig at you, AJS! Not my intention. It's a growing theme among our fanbase on here, though, that our recruits aren't good and everyone's else's are. He definitely wouldn't be able to come in this year, I'd think.

Completely fair, but Hain certainly is not painted that way these days, on here. Point two is also fair.

I mean, are we supposed to be excited about his potential? Gavin Hain doesn't get the rep of being "high end" these days (although he definitely once did), but Weiss does. Hain had more points than Weiss this past season. We're an interesting fan base lol

Well said

This is exactly what it is.

And we're tied!

I'd say it's a toss up between he and Casey, IMO. Way different players. I don't mind a Smith-Bowen-Johnson 4th line.

I think it's more likely that he'll crack the lineup at forward. Apparently, so does he. In regards to our recruiting discussion we've had, I think we have to assume progression of our younger players. With that said, Casey should fit fine into a 4th line or a 3rd line grinder role, I think.

I'm not sure this was the entire reasoning. I think Casey saw the pipeline of D men we have coming in for the next couple of years, not to mention the current depth and realized he was swimming upstream. This is the best move for him to be able play decent minutes, I think.

Well, at least we have something to argue about this Summer.

That's what you get for picking him lol. *Pops jersey*

Yeah, I'm not suggesting that Shaw won't be fine, I was just surprised.

I guess, but he doesn't really do it from me. Oh well. Not fully against it, I just thought Janatuinen was a better candidate for it.

C - Colton A - Gardner A - Jones A - Shaw http://www.undsports.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=13500&ATCLID=211715169&_ga=2.89792027.1479225891.1525875126-1096547208.1522879919 Not gonna lie, I'm stunned Shaw is up there lol. Big fan of Colton wearing the C. I think he, Gardner and Jones all could have been fantastic captains.
