Just today they had 2 players sign NHL contracts and 2 players refuse NHL offers. There will be more from this years team to play in the NHL. They are also the second winningest program since 2012. Would be #1 if they had beat UND.

Serious question, are there any D2 or D3 schools with FCS football teams, similar to hockey? I know there's a lot of small Eastern schools with successful FCS football programs like there are in D1 hockey.

I admittedly have not yet come to like the Fighting Hawks nickname. But it was nice having a nickname so we didn't have to hear about the controversy during the ESPN broadcasts.

Anyone have a good scouting report on QU? I saw them play for a few minutes when they were up big on RIT. The way Starman describes them is the same as he describes Duluth: very structured defensively with a lot of individually skilled offensive players. Will be an interesting matchup if that's the case

Hajdu wouldn't confirm on Twitter. I'd still love to see our green lids and breezers with the black sweaters someday.

I'd like to see the CBS line play with more urgency against Denver than they did against Michigan. Boeser has one of the best releases in college hockey but he was too slow getting rid of the puck on a couple odd man rushes that should have been scoring chances. Schmaltz needs to shoot the puck more. He had atleast two golden shot opportunities where he held onto the puck to wait for a passing lane to open. In playoff hockey, you take open shots. That's my opinion. They still played great, especially defensively, but I think they could've had a couple goals on Michigan if they played with more pace and urgency.

Just rewatched the game from last night. I noticed St. Clair came out of the tunnel for warm ups but was never on the line chart to play. Is it normal for scratches to warm up with the team?

Anyone have any suggestions on where to watch the games in Marco Island?

I'm not exactly sure, but I believe the linesman can tell the referee if there was a potential major penalty that the referees missed. Then the referee can review it and decide if there was a major penalty based on replay

Could Conference tournaments go away? Not saying I think they will but I'm just curious if it's a decision each individual conference can make or if the NCAA rules require them all to have one

I disagree with the article as well. If good ideas come locally, use the professionals to come up with the entire brand package while incorporating the local ideas. That's where a logo companie's value will be. I would proudly wear this logo not only because how great it looks but also because it was designed by one of us, who is passionate about the university, its players and fans. I would love to see it materialize.

Of course they do. The fact is that feathers must be grown on a bird before they are put on a headdress. They are not different feathers!

I just recently noticed the "H" in the Whalers logo. Mind was blown

Yes. If any UND fans boo the name THEY deserve to get punched in the back of the head. I'm not a fan of the name but I am a fan of the players that will be representing it. You can't boo one and not the other

lol that's really good!

Is Chicago playing tonight?

The coaches were out to eat last night with Boesser and 3 other kids. I don't know what most of our freshman look like so I'm not sure, but I'd bet there were a couple recruits.

DU would be so pissed at our manly Boone

The gf herald poll is currently: Fighting Hawks- 42.05% with 2117 votes Nodaks- 30.98% with 1560 votes Roughriders- 26.97% with 1358 votes

Roll Fawks!

Here's a tweak for you. The Fighting Daks

I was just referring to logo possibilities. I agree with you that North Dakota Nodaks is redundant. I used Canucks as an example of a team that can use a variety of logos because they have an undescript nickname, not because of the phonetics of their name.

It's not exactly apples to apples, but if you once again use the Vancouver Canucks as an example, the logo possibilities are pretty flexible. They went from their skate logo (one of my all-time favorites) to their current whale logo. If Nodaks wins, it would be cool if they design a logo themed toward the runner-up. That could possibly get more people on board. We could be like Alabama and pick the most irrelevant animal possible to our state/nickname and go with it!
