You did ask him to let you know when he had a nickname for one of the NHL players and he did just that. Maybe you should try being more clear.

No I didn't. I asked him to let me know when he comes up with a nickname for his university. One that screams "I desperately wish we had an NHL team of our own" would be best. "NHL University" is already taken.

I don't think following players you enjoyed watching in college is any more weird than obsessing over who has more youth teams in a geographical boundary.

As far as I'm concerned Massachusetts is just as good of a hockey state as Minnesota.

Nowhere did you mention that you were talking about BC specifically. He mentioned both BC and Kreider in the post you replied to, how was he supposed to know which one you were referring to? You are obviously at fault and do indeed need to be more clear.

Civic Pride <> Ex-Player Fetish

Maybe if you and your neighbors cared a little more about your state's hockey culture, your state would produce a little more hockey talent. And if your state produced a little more hockey talent, you'd probably feel less threatened/envious when I talk about Minnesota's hockey culture and traditions.

The problem is that you think everyone cares about their state's hockey culture. I care about hockey. period. and could care less where, or by whom it is played.

and when other states have success, you get threatened and feel envious enough that you must remind everyone where college hockey was "born".

Of course you don't care. Your state likely has little hockey tradition and not much of a hockey culture. And again, maybe if more people in your state did care that you don't, maybe some day your state would. Then you wouldn't be threatened every time I talk about Minnesota's absolutely wonderful hockey culture and rich hockey tradition.

Next time I can bring this up in the UW season thread where I saw the comments that prompted this discussion if you'd like?

If you're going to hurl insults at me, why should I do you any favors?

......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?

I see nothing wrong with it.Being a season ticket holder I get attached to certain players and obviously will follow them throughout their NHL carreers .Don't see the problem with that.

I don't see anything wrong with following former player's careers. I have distinguished what I feel constitutes taking it so far it's creepy.
