Not until you start tweeting and posting about it daily, make a name like #NHLUniversity up, and make player jersey avatars.
That's #StalkerUniversity IMO.
Exactly. It's like cheering for kids from your state when they make it to college (or beyond), even when they are not from your own specific town. It's pathetic.

I just think the extent to which a certain fanbase fawns over ex-players is a little odd. And this is a discussion because I'd like someone to explain it to me. The only rationalization I can think of is it fills the void of not having an NHL team. Is that it?
Try to understand it this way. Some people who did not even attend a university somehow grow a fetish for that university's teams. Or, as Uncle Bill would say, "What is Hecuba to him or he to Hecuba . . ."

And just LET people cheer for players not from their city????
PREPOSTEROUS!!!
Obsessing over players period is a little creepy. I take pride in our hockey heritage and traditions in Minnesota. I don't obsess over individual players. But that's just me.

If you don't like it, you can get your own website, right, Jup?
Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.
