(Minnesota) Wild thing

I remember some consternation around here whether the critter depicted in the Minnesota Wild logo was a bear or some sort of big cat.


Well, turns out the team itself isn't quite sure. Meet Nordy.

Nordy himself has no idea whether he's a bearcat or a prehistoric wombat. Nor does he know the meaning or origin of the disturbing rune on his forehead. One thing's sure, though. He's Wild.
Oh well. If it makes a few sick kids at a children's hospital happy, I don't begrudge the Wild their truly goofy new mascot, even if it is Fail on Ice.

 

Itchy: That Nordy's one outrageous dude!

Scratchy: He's totally in my face!

 

"Poochie's DEAD! Hyuh-hyah!"

 

Nordy?

 

What the shit?

 

That's Huckleberry Hound wearing a wig.

 

Remember kids, Nordy recycles...TO THE EXTREME!!!!

 

[Note: Nordy died on the return trip to his home planet]

 

That's awesome.
Needs a tounge to pull off though.

 

You bastards up north leave Harvey alone!

 

What's his name again?

 

Hey man! Just thought I'd drop by!
