    Nathan Gerbe definitely had a similar domination in 2008. Points-wise I think he had more than Vanek and the most since in a FF since Silk for BU a long time ago.

I can't imagine him ever making anyone even feel uncomfortable when he's sober.There are plenty of players in my time covering the team who have looked at me differently or flirted with me or the like. Trivino has never been one of those players. Even outside of the rink, he'll say hi and is plenty of friendly, but has never been even close to saying or doing anything inappropriate.

      Re: Hobey Baker Top-10

      I agree exactly with shiftyjedi. I have never seen one player dominate a frozen four in every facet more than vanek did, he was a betetr, mor skilled complete player. yes, gaudreau is a great player, great story but Vanek is more skilled and about 6'2" 210 lbs, JG is 5'7" about 150 lbs

      His skill level is top 1% in nhl and world.


      The move that Vanek made was one for the highlight reel and the ages. Flying down the left wing alone, Vanek shifted direction slightly to get around UNH defender Mick Mounsey. Mounsey then dove into the net to back up Ayers, who had come out to challenge Vanek. Vanek crossed the crease left to right, shot behind Ayers, and beat Mounsey under the defender’s extended leg at 8:14.

      “He showed a lot of patience,” said Ayers, who finished the game with 40 saves. “When I went down, he had a lot more room short side than I expected. He made a great play and it was a good goal-scorer’s goal.”

      That gave the Gophers all the momentum they needed. Three minutes later, Vanek took the puck down the right wing and shot, with Waibel picking up the rebound. Ayers saved Waibel’s initial shot but the puck squirted back out to Vanek in the left corner. Vanek then passed from the corner back to Waibel between the circles, and Waibel’s shot beat Ayers midway up on the goalie’s glove side to make it a 3-1 game at 11:25.

            Agreed, and did Vanek win the Hobey? As he and Kessel were both on track to graduate Summa Cum Barely maybe that mattered?

We brave the cold for tailgates, our friends know not to ask about the game after a tough loss, we laugh, we cry, we BLEED hockey, specifically the maroon'n'gold. Many of us have a tattoo waiting in the wings, WHEN (not IF) the Gophers are champions again.
