MafiaMan Posted April 9, 2014 Posted April 9, 2014 In the 33 year history of the award, only five Hobey Baker winners have led their team to the national championship: Forward Tony Hrkac (North Dakota, 1987) Forward Lane McDonald (Harvard, 1989) Forward Paul Kariya (Maine, 1993) Defenseman Jordan Leopold (Minnesota, 2002) Defenseman Matt Gilroy (Boston University, 2009) Seven other Hobey winners fell just short, falling in the title game: Forward Neil Broten (Minnesota, 1981) Defenseman Mark Fusco (Harvard, 1983) Defenseman Tom Kurvers (Minnesota-Duluth, 1984) Forward Scott Fusco (Harvard, 1986) Forward Jason Krog (New Hampshire, 1999) Defenseman Mike Mottau (Boston College, 2000) Forward Blake Geoffrion (Wisconsin, 2010) Dave Adam Wilcox for Hobey! 3 Quote

MafiaMan Posted April 9, 2014 Posted April 9, 2014 and Gadreau! First co-hobey winners ever! Can't think of 2 more deserving guys and teams Maybe a three-headed monster this year along with Shayne Gostisbehere? I like it. Quote
scpa0305 Posted April 9, 2014 Posted April 9, 2014 2014 NCAA Frozen Four Preview: Boston College vs. Union Discuss. Dave Bold....I like it. Quote
Goon Posted April 9, 2014 Posted April 9, 2014 Bold....I like it. I think that B.C. will get revenge. Quote
MafiaMan Posted April 9, 2014 Posted April 9, 2014 I think that B.C. will get revenge. Union is going to beat BC. My "take it to the bank" pick-of-the-day. Quote
GFG Posted April 9, 2014 Posted April 9, 2014 Union is going to beat BC. My "take it to the bank" pick-of-the-day. They're a clog it up kind of team. Those are the teams that give Minnesota and BC trouble. Rick Pizzo from BTN said a few weeks ago that Union is his pick to win it all and with the potential matchups that they have looming it's entirely possible. I feel like tomorrow's UND-UM game is going to be lower scoring. My guess is that UND is going to try slow the game down and clog everything up. That's how you beat this Minnesota team and one would assume Hakstol and company know that. That's how Wisconsin was able to beat Minnesota. If the game's a barn burner I don't think UND has as much of a chance, but hey, I've been wrong before. Quote
Goon Posted April 10, 2014 Posted April 10, 2014 Union is going to beat BC. My "take it to the bank" pick-of-the-day. Wow! That's a bold prediction, but I actually have them winning on my brackets. Quote
Wilbur Posted April 10, 2014 Posted April 10, 2014 Union is going to beat BC. My "take it to the bank" pick-of-the-day. Hah....take it to the bank pick of the day. Union hasn't lost since January....and its April.....wow. Suffocating defense, with strict play in the neutral zone. Me thinks MafiaMan is correct on this pick. Unless Johnny hockey and crew score five...... Quote
Blackheart Posted April 10, 2014 Posted April 10, 2014 Union is going to beat BC. My "take it to the bank" pick-of-the-day. 'Take it to the bank' pick is nice but it's not exactly the 'Super Lock' pick of the day, is it? Come on Mafia, I expected more out of a varsity letterman....(80s movie reference) Quote

MafiaMan Posted April 10, 2014 Posted April 10, 2014 Lol...never gonna let him live down the fact that he cost UND a chance at repeating in '98. Funny you boys should mention that...just got my annual "thank-you" card from Red and Marty in the mail today. 1 Quote

MafiaMan Posted April 12, 2014 Posted April 12, 2014 National Championship game 1.5 hours away and this place is a morgue...oh, what could have been. Did UND fly back home yesterday or did they stay in Philly for the game? Quote

Let'sGoHawks! Posted April 12, 2014 Posted April 12, 2014 Hmmm, who to cheer for. On the one hand, I hate the gophers....on the other hand, I hate the gophers....... Let's go Dutchmen?! ? (The Dutch males must really be upset with this name) Quote

They used to be called the Flying Dutchmen. Not sure if that's better or worse... Dave Quote

Carl Posted April 12, 2014 Posted April 12, 2014 So are the Irish. Being part Irish myself, I find the "Fighting Irish" to be incredibly offensive Quote
