So your wife nagged Lavins into giving her information regarding his health and availability for future games? Is there anything you two nutjobs won't do to bother the players and coaches? How often do you two stop by their dorm rooms to ask them questions? I guess this it what you mean by having insider information. Holy cow.

UNH- How Far West Do We Go?

Please call 911 as you must be having a stroke. If not, you need to be committed to a mental health facility. I will try and explain this in a simple manner that you might understand.
The players who were not playing, were in section 208. The tickets we were given were in section 208. Most normal humans who see someone might ask how you are feeling. If you want to call that nagging, you have a strange sense of realism.
Does it pain you this much that others might know players and have conversations with them? You are a sad man if you do.
It pains me that wacko fans like you and your wife choose to bother these college players. Just leave them alone. They have no interest at all in meeting zipper heads like you, your wife and Buford. They do not confide in you at all because they see you as a weirdo. It's not their fault that you don't have a life.
"Normal humans", as you put it, do not approach college kids they have no personal relationship with to check on their health. You're about 40 years older than them. It's ok to show up to the yearly fan event or whatever where the players have prepared for your idiocy to approach them. They'll even pose for pictures!!!! Imagine! But otherwise, stay away.

Oh Corky off the rails again. The math was too much for you to handle and the 40-year gap is laughable. Again, you don't understand the level of relationships that people on this board have with people.
Oh, but I do, Meathead.
I'm not sure what the problem is, but athletes interacting with fans has been going on for decades. Back in the Umile / Friends of UNH Hockey era, Umile and the coaching staff encouraged their players to meet with and talk to the fans at the many postgame Friends gatherings in the Skybox Lounge at the Whitt. The Friends days are long gone, but it was good PR, and I would like to think that Souza and Co. would still allow and encourage this practice with current team members.
Like it or not, there are many instances where fans are well-acquainted with team members. My brother, who is also a season ticket holder, played high school hockey with Alex Gagne’s dad. He had plenty of interactions with Alex when he was a team member, what was wrong with that? My fiancé lived in Goffstown for twenty years and knows the Chauvette family. A few years back there was a young family who sat in front of us who also had season tickets and through a series of off-ice interactions became very friendly with Tyler Kelleher and his family as well. No harm, no foul. But I personally love the story of my nephew, who many years ago attended his first UNH game as a young lad, standing starstruck behind the player’s box during pre-game warmups and was encouraged by the staff to enter the player’s box and say Hi to the players. One of them gave him a hockey puck right from the ice. That’s the kind of PR that goes a long way.

preexisting relationships are different. Pucks for small children is a completely different scenario.
I’m talking about the fanboy / fangirl zipper heads that pester the players and then write about it online, like some of the morons posting here. Take a look at the viscious things they were written about Conmy. Unattributed crap written by fanboys and fangirls that have no lives of their own.
I promise you the players hate the Norberts and Chuck Murrays of the world that post garbage online without knowing what they’re talking about. Yes, at a season ticket event the players are told by the coaches to be polite, but so what? Ask a player what he thinks about the 30-40 Body Mass Index crowd that posts online passing judgment on their game performances and claim to have inside information.
I can promise you the 100% opposite but since you hide at home behind a keyboard and won't reveal who you are, then you can go along with your 6th grade name calling. The true fans on here Corky know what is going on.
Having viewed this from outside the box, the only conclusion I can come to is Potluck is running interference on this thread. The more other posters try to defend their observations, honor or game/program details, the less time spent on the REAL ISSUE - How far UNH hockey has fallen and the huge amount of work needed to get back toward the top.
The attacks are always personal about the posters and not constructive to the conversation. Toss in a few details here and there, add in a little substance occasionally but mostly interrupting the flow. A subtle tactic to deflect, but the question remains, deflect for Whom?
"Mom, Dad, I think I am pregnant" said the 19 year old flunking out of college, who just burned down the family cabin.

This thread is hilarious.
Nick, it's hilarious and sad at the same time.
Good gawd, how I yearn for the "Big 4 Years" - BC, BU, UNH and Maine jockeying for the top spot in HE. And the BC/UNH/Maine fan battles here. I guess I'm just too damn old now.....
