  • It's Awesome.....

    ......to have a local NHL team to cheer for. I would HATE to be one of the guys who just follows ex-players of my college team in the NHL.

    Anyone else think that's a bit creepy?

    It isn't any more creepy than your obsession over all things Minnesota.

    Each to his own, no?

      Civic pride is much different than obsessing over athletes in my opinion.

            They aren't much, but they are a wonderful alternative to slobbering over Okposo, Vanek, etc.... or making up stupid phrases like #NHLUniversity

            More like #StalkerUniversity

              You have to at least give him props for not posting this in the North Dakota thread. I don't have an obsession, but i'm proud of players who went through UND's system and are in the NHL. May they have continued success.

                To be honest, this wasn't directed towards UND fans as much as it was towards another fanbase. There is a certain fanbase that has an extraordinary ex-player fetish. I just don't get it.

                  I see. Well I'll let you continue.

                      Agreed. Sacred Heart fans are terrible. No one cares that you have one player each year who makes it to the CHL, stop obsessing over it.

                        I don't read these types of threads that much, but from what I've seen of JDUBBS, I can't imagine he's a day older than 15. Grow up!

                          The only way to stop that type of behavior is to create and enforce a strict code of conduct for college hockey fans, not just at games but at home, on line, and in bar rooms. Of course there will have to be special exceptions written in for MN fans.

                            While obsessing over how ex-players do in the pros is probably unhealthy, following ex-players in the pros is no different than say...obsessing over how ex-players from a certain state helped win a gold medal 30+ years ago.

                              those role players who helped the BU4 should have a lot of pride for that they helped accomplish
