Hobey Hat Trick

Re: Hobey Hat Trick

Not every fanbase has someone who is complete awesomeness though. RPI and Michigan for example.

Hey, you can't say that - we have Ralph Baer!

Re: Hobey Hat Trick

I am no way saying what he did was ok, thankfully nobody got killed from it and he got a wake up call and learned his lesson. Has he done it since then? No, so he realized that he almost threw away everything he worked his entire young life for by doing something so stupid as driving drunk. So in my mind he has paid his price.

Obviously what Frattin did was terrible, immature and selfish. However, he has learned from it. When he was kicked off the team, he was offered chances to turn pro and go that route. Instead, he shoveled concrete 12 hours/day, earned back the respect of the coaching staff and a spot on the team (no scholarship) for the last half of last season. This season he has shown tremendous character and leadership, along with being a great player and honor student. Will he win the Hobey? Who knows, but if he does, he will have earned it. The Hobey Baker is an award that is given out for a particular season. Frattin's (and Atkinson and every other player that was up for the award) issues were in past seasons. Clearly, the committee that votes for Hobey felt that Frattin had outstanding character.

So no RPI players are in the final 3 for this award correct? Ok good Im getting out of this wee wee contest before it gets any worse. Best of luck to all teams left playing.

Re: Hobey Hat Trick

I agree with not questioning that pathologic fan-base, but the point was NoDak has a huge drop-off in scoring from their top scorer (#2 in the nation) to their 2nd leading scorer (tied for 27th in the nation).

Yes. Having only 5 of the top 50 scorers in the NATION, shows that North Dakota doesn't have depth.

Please, name one other school that has 5 playeers in the top 50 in scoring in the nation...

Re: Hobey Hat Trick

Miele can have the Hobey and become a footnote on the balls of history, and Frattin will play for a National Championship and then continue his hockey career in the NHL.

Sounds like an OK trade-off.

Yes, I did.

I have no idea what this means.

That's all well and good, but it's irrelevant when you consider what this thread is about.

If people saying he shouldn't win makes them obsessed, you're just as obsessed for posting this.

Re: Hobey Hat Trick

Bingo. Miele should win this--no contest. Unfortunately if that happens, the whining from Sioux fans would be unbearable.

I could bear it. I bore it when Panzer didn't win. I can take it.

No big deal. Panzer won the national title...err, wait, nope...not that either.
