YaneA Posted December 8, 2003 Share Posted December 8, 2003 I'm sure CoteauRinkRat will forgive my starting a duplicate thread... Here are the ideas I have for signs for the Duluth series. Your comments, as always, are requested, as are additional ideas. Since 'Tis the Season, you'll see a holiday theme dominates. 1. [santa in Duluth colors as goalie] Five Ho-Ho-Holed 2. Scrooge Duluth 3. [penalty box] Only 12 Slashing Days 'Til Christmas 4. [illustrated with ribbon & bow] Wrap 'em up, Sioux 5. R-Zach Beats I-saac 6. [penalty box--pic of Santa with his lists, which are labelled:] "Naughty." "Nice." "Chippy." [candidates for the respective lists?] 7. [not exactly "The Twelve Days of Christmas" but...] Four lines a-rolling;Three forwards scoring; Two D-men hitting and J. Parise as the goalie 8. [To our Goalies] Merry Crease-mas 9. [Not sure I've got the spelling right--French majors, correct me but...] Joyeux Goal 10. 'Tis the Season to Beat the Goalie 11. [illustrated with boughs of holly] Deck the Dogs 12. Season's Beatings 13. [after Caig has be tapped, wrapped and hung out to dry] T.S. for T.J. ! 14. [illustrated with mistletoe] Merry Kiss This! 15. [penalty box] Not the Brightest Bulb on the Tree 16. [penalty box thought bubble] That Swan Lake Barbie is Hot! 17. [santa in referee stripes, to tune of "Santa Claus is Coming to Town] "He sees you when you're slashing; he knows your fall's a fake..." 18. [to our beloved refs, who are doing the best they can] We Asked for 3 Wise Men; they sent us 3 WISE GUYS 19. The Matt Pack: Serving Up a Heapin' Helping of MACHOS Navidad [quien es mas macho: Matt, Matt or Matt?] 20. Sleigh the Dogs 21. [illustrated with stockings in Duluth colors] Knock Their Stockings Off 22. Hang 'em Up By the Blueline With Care 23. [penalty box, see #17] You Better Not Pout. 24. [illustrated with pic of who? maybe both with Sioux goalie] Dog Catcher. Dog Blocker. 25. [penalty box; divided poster] Cinn-a-bon [arrow pointing to pic of carb-laden treat]. Sin-a-bin [arrow pointing down to penalty box] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sicatoka Posted December 8, 2003 Share Posted December 8, 2003 I just got the December "Sioux Illustrated." Why not just put the two-page Prpich vs. Peluso picture from in there on a sign with a simple caption: Back for more? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YaneA Posted December 8, 2003 Author Share Posted December 8, 2003 I'll have to go get a copy of Sioux Illustrated at the Pro Shop. How big is the picture? What is it--the centerfold? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoteauRinkRat Posted December 8, 2003 Share Posted December 8, 2003 I'll have to go get a copy of Sioux Illustrated at the Pro Shop. How big is the picture? What is it--the centerfold? It is two pages, but not certain if it is technically the "centerfold". Only one thing comes to mind when you use that term. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redwing77 Posted December 8, 2003 Share Posted December 8, 2003 It is two pages, but not certain if it is technically the "centerfold". Only one thing comes to mind when you use that term. Perhaps you can use punnage? Like Prpich v Peluso Caption: "Pound (Cup) Cake" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marty Posted December 8, 2003 Share Posted December 8, 2003 My favorite: 5. R-Zach Beats I-saac There are many good ones though. Keep them original. No offense or anything but nobody wants to see "Wrap them up Sioux." It's somewhat cheesy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dagies Posted December 8, 2003 Share Posted December 8, 2003 My favorite: 5. R-Zach Beats I-saac There are many good ones though. Keep them original. No offense or anything but nobody wants to see "Wrap them up Sioux." It's somewhat cheesy. Lots of good ones here. I like #5 best. That one is pretty clever. And I like the Sicatoka's idea too. Another idea for the penalty box: "Not on Santa's LIST" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MinnesotaNorthStar Posted December 8, 2003 Share Posted December 8, 2003 For the Box I like.... Not the Brightest Bulb The Swan Lake Barbie is hot!! Seasons Beatings is a good one too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, and Prpich was pretty much "undressing" Peluso. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why not just put the two-page Prpich vs. Peluso picture from in there on a sign with a simple caption: Back for more? Or we could put Season's Beatings on that...either one works.

Fighting Sioux Fan Posted December 9, 2003 Share Posted December 9, 2003 15, 16, 18, 23, and 24 get my vote! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YaneA Posted December 9, 2003 Author Share Posted December 9, 2003 Still haven't gotten Sioux Illustrated but I have to run lunch time errands and will pick one up at Scheels. "Season's Beatings" caption for that picture sounds inspired, NorthStar. I've finished "R-Zach Beats I-saac" and Santa Referee ("He sees you when you're slashing; he knows your fall's a fake"). The way this usually works is I make the ones that get the most posts of approval plus ones I'm particularly fond of-- yes, whether you like them or not! So post the number that corresponds to your favorite(s) from my original list or tell me which other ideas you like. As always, if inspiration strikes you, post your brillance here but please do it soon. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not a big fan of the Santa referee sign because it's not really true. They have only called one diving penalty since I started watching UND hockey. At least, WCHA refs. CCHA refs who reffed the Ferris State game last season don't count. So they don't really see when the fall is fake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UMDDogz Posted December 9, 2003 Share Posted December 9, 2003 I'm not a fan of this sign either, not because it isn't good, but because UMD is not a team that is known for diving Thanks for noticing. I've seen Caig with guys draped all over him still fighting to stay on his skates. There are certainly no Peter Forsbergs on this team!

YaneA Posted December 9, 2003 Author Share Posted December 9, 2003 Thanks, everyone, for the input. I still like the Santa Ref sign so I'll bring it mostly because I did such a great job on the illustration. As always, whether--and when--it's displayed depends upon the mood of my students helpers. Does anyone here see anything objectionable on the list? Remember, security screens these twice. Once, on Friday night when I bring in the whole batch and then again on Saturday when the students bring them back. What's been approved one night has been censored the next. So if you think any of these ideas are problematic, please let me know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YaneA Posted December 10, 2003 Author Share Posted December 10, 2003 Let's get those votes in; the polls are closing. Last night I made "Season's Beatings," "Not the Brightest Bulb" & "Five Ho-Ho-Holed." Tonight I'll paste up Naughty-Nice-Chippy which I've tweaked somewhat. It'll say, "He's making a list; hip-checking it twice" and then there'll be an illustration of Santa with a single list of names followed by the designation "Naughty," "Nice" or "Chippy." Since statistics don't lie, the "nice" will be one of our players with few PIMs; the "naughty" designation" for Prpich and "chippy" I guess is Peluso, Anderson or Stauffacher, Duluth's PIMs leaders. Terms may not fit exactly but you can chalk it up to fan bias or poetic license. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greyeagle Posted December 10, 2003 Share Posted December 10, 2003 I didn't see any signs referring to what some friends of mine called UMD when I went to school there: UMdee Dumbdee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
