Good morning from the media work room at the Xcel Energy Center, everyone. It was a great day of hockey yesterday, as four outstanding teams played two fantastic college hockey games in the best hockey arena I’ve ever been in. It should be a great game tomorrow. Tonight, however, it’s about the Hobey (and the … Read more

A quick thought or two from the press box at the Xcel Energy Center (where the wireless is working much better for me on account of it being less crowded than it is down in the media workroom). I’ve said on many occasions that “Hobey Likes Goals” or “Hobey Loves Goals,” borrowing a turn of … Read more

One final point on my last post before we begin: I said no more blogging when I was sick, and that’s probably a good move. Of course, the truth is I don’t think that’s why I forgot in my last post that Cam Atkinson was the sixth member of the Mean Street Posse (apologies to … Read more

The last time I tried updating this blog when I was sick, I mixed up the names of Minnesota-Duluth’s “FCC” line and North Dakota’s “Pony Express” line, which opened me up to a fair bit of criticism from the North Dakota fans. That misstep notwithstanding, I’m going to try again anyway, and make a final … Read more

I know the rules. I go over them all the time: Hobey Likes Goals, there’s always an candidate from the East, all that stuff. And I spit in the face of all the rules. Sure enough, it came back to bite me. Cam Atkinson, not Jack Connolly, is the third member of the Hobey Hat … Read more

Sometime Thursday, the Hobey Hat Trick will be announced, which means that I really should have posted my predictions some time ago. What can I say? I’ve been busy. First, I’ll look back at my finalist predictions, which saw me go 7 for 10, which is pretty much par for the course. The three I … Read more

The time, it seems, has come. It’s the eve of the announcement of this year’s Hobey Baker finalists, and it’s time for one of the most challenging parts of my job as your humble Hobey pundit: picking the 10 players whose names will be on the list when it comes out tomorrow. It’s also one … Read more

If you followed my work in the CSTV days, you know that I’ve spent a fair amount of time in fraternity houses. However, this post has nothing to do with any frat parties I may or may not have found myself at along the way (really, unless I was at my own house at my … Read more

One week from Sunday, we’ll know who the 16 teams are in the NCAA tournament. And, while the two are not perfectly correlated, there are connections … Read more
