Hey, I guess some marketing braniacs have decided that nothing represents hockey better than a cuddly stuffed animal on skates. The mascot, Nordy ^[1], has a mullet, a tattoo of an “M” on it’s forehead,  wears the number 18,001, and is being called a hybrid of several animals. 

You can check out the Wild fan site and see what the fans are saying,  Should the Wild have a Mascot? ^[2].  Sasquatch is one of the few mascots people actually wanted.

I think Nordy is pretty lame looking and I don’t know a single fan whom actually wanted a mascot. (sasquatch comments aside) I get the feeling we’ll be seeing Nordy stuffed animals released just in time for the holidays.  So is this just another sales gimmick?

As far as I’m concerned they might as well have chosen My Pretty Pony.

So what do you think?
