I don't think you have to worry about that...most of the time UND players don't even win the Hobey when they do deserve it.  ;) 

Hobey has become somewhat of a joke to me. I think it started in 2016 when UND had no top 10 finalists and they gave it to Jimmy Vesey.

The only time we should mention him should be in reference to his loss against UND in the 2001 NCAA semi-final, a day before his robbery of Panzer was announced.

The absolute best part of that entire day was listening to the announcers talk about how he was so good that his teammates couldn't even score on him in practice...and then watching Spiewak score literally a minute into the game.  :D

Thanks for a great memory!  (I needed one today.)

A week ago 9, 17, and 22 were each -9.

9 and 22 held serve and remain -9. 

17 is now -11.

Are we going to talk about Gaber's defensive deficiencies or will that draw ire from the "Cult of Momma G". 

Why on earth is he on PK2?

Give me Strinden (Cole Smith 2.0).

I was watching 9 on a play in the Saturday game against WMU that turned out to be an example of his lousy plus/minus rating. He was behind the play a little ways and just coasted behind it until the puck ended up in our net. I don't know if he could have caught the guy (that scored) but there was no effort to do so. Not what a 200 foot player does.

What is this? Moderators are taunting a player's mother now?

I'll watch to the end, because of this.  A while ago when the team was struggling in the second half, a former player said to a mutual friend that he thought they'd be ok, and his reason was that he knew how good the coaches were.  Despite the derision heaped upon them lately, they've demonstrated as recently as last year that they are in fact very good coaches, and perhaps unlike many here, I don't think they've tragically forgotten how to coach.  So I'll continue to hope they manage to convince everyone to back check like they did a year ago and go on a little late run.  I'm certain no one will give up.

So if it’s not the coaching then does that it’s poor recruiting?

This is probably the most disgusting part of UND hockey fandom I've seen in 40 years.

The constant butt kissing and awkward references to distant yet connectable connections is gross.

"Hey mamma I saw a map of the US and Canada today and your boy is in that map, and I saw that map.  do you want a copy of that map.. ill send it to you!   Make sure your boy knows me and your boy are both in places on that map.... WITH YOU!:love:!"

I know shes brought this on herself by engaging with the awkwardest wierd of our fanbase but,fer gosh sakes have some class people.

But.. id probably be the same way if my kid would be good enough to be D1 player one day too... so... flame on Mamma, enjoy the ride.
