rochsioux Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 Just want to add my best wishes to Robbie and his family. Hopefully he will make a full, complete recovery. I would like nothing better than to be among the 11,500 fans at REA giving him a standing ovation as he is introduced in the starting lineup, whether it is next year or later.

tp033 Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 Look, I'm going to say something that's going to get me ripped but I will say it anyway. I don't know what Gwoz thinks of what went on. However, it IS possible that Gwoz didn't see what happened himself, therefore doesn't know how bad the hit was. He MAY have kept Paukovich off the ice for a while in order to let the whole situation simmer down for a bit before putting him back on the ice. Frankly, if the above suppositions are true, it's a pretty smart move. I'm only trying to put forth another explanation. We've all generally assumed what Gwoz's motivations were, but no one has put forth a different viewpoint to consider. So here's one. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Valid point, however according to this quote from the INCH article, someone on the other sideline saw it; just a little differently Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amn5hol Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 No one's mentioned this that I know of, but have Gwozdecky and Paukovich visited Robbie in the hospital? In my opinion, personally expressing their concern for his health and/or apologizing would be the classy thing to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MafiaMan Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 I realize this will be tossed around as heresay, but I spoke with a DU player's mom during the title game Saturday night. I asked her if she had any "inside information" and she gave me a line about how the DU players heard rumors that Bina was not even taken to the hospital and was in the locker room watching TV during the rest of the DU/UND game. She also mentioned that it was "too bad" because Paukovitch is the "nicest kid around." Blah blah blah. I was so steamed I couldn't even muster up a reply, which, if you know me, is quite a rare occurence. Frankly, I don't think there was much concern at all over on Gwoz's bench. I enjoyed watching DU's run to the title last March. Now it makes me sick to think I cheered for that bunch of goons to beat Maine. Robbie, good luck. You are in my prayers. I pray that even if you never wear a Sioux jersey again, that you are able to live a normal and full life. Hockey is secondary to everything else right now, but God willing, you'll be back skating soon, too. All the best. MafiaMan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, and they're faking major surgery too. Get well Robbie. Be well Robbie. All of North Dakota Hockey is pulling for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MafiaMan Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 Like I said, I was so livid at her comments, I decided to just turn my head and walk away rather than say something stupid. They don't just strap guys to a board and secure their head and neck, only to let them walk out of an ambulance ten minutes later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah they bring out a backboard and have 10 people huddled around the situation and it isn't serious? Give me a break.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iceberg Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 She also mentioned that it was "too bad" because Paukovitch is the "nicest kid around." <{POST_SNAPBACK}> This is the same guy who scores a goal against UMD with 20 seconds to go to make it 6-3 UMD and he punches I think it was Hammond. Rosehill grabbed him, slammed him to the ice, and grabbed his head and bounced it off the ice Nice guy, huh. But back to the topic.... Get well soon Robbie.

7>4 Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 All the best to Robbie on his road to recovery. The kid is a class act, on and off the ice. I'm thinking that a nice NC ring will help him through the therapy sessions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dagies Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 I just hung on "Doctors are hopeful for a full recovery". Whether that means he ever plays hockey or not isn't the biggest thing. Remembering how we could not see him on the ice from our seats, and fearing that he could not move, to know it's likely he can at least get out of bed and walk around in his future is something I'm very happy to hear.

BigChief Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 I wonder if the hit he took in the Wisconsin game was the start of his injury? Get well soon man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forecheck Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 I wonder if the hit he took in the Wisconsin game was the start of his injury? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I remember being worried for him after that hit. He landed right on his neck, and I was surprised he got right back up again. He's definitely a tough player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BinaIsGod Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 Yeah, during the game they said that he wasn't supposed to play in the Denver game because he didn't feel 100% after the Wisconsin game... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PCM Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 USCHO just posted this story about Robbie Bina. The information on his surgery is from the UND news release, but there are also some quotes from Matt Greene regarding what happened during the DU-UND game.
