Following many statements made after Sunday's basketball game, the hypocrisy was so enormous that you didn't have to be HOCKEYBEAR to see it all the way from Pluto.<br /><br />Is giving up five goals to Alaska on a Friday night proof of a lack of effort? Because Notre Dame just did that, and they're in first place at the moment. Are they a bunch of "[delete] [revise] [delete again] fellows" too?<br /><br />If you have want to convince me the Michigan hockey team is full of lazy ne'er-do-wells, you have to give more proof than they missed some backchecks. Poor play is not a sign of a lack of effort (see Stauskas vs. The Ohio State University.) If you've got the proof, post it. HOCKEYBEAR wants to see it.HOCKEYBEARhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12374090030368196910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35971090.post-5308098409999240592013-01-18T07:56:41.143-05:002013-01-18T07:56:41.143-05:00NOW you offer this suggestion. I watched Michigan ...NOW you offer this suggestion. I watched Michigan fail to check the trailing guy three times, and all led to that guy scoring goals in the Friday night game. Have you ever (..from your space jet/Mars vantage points) seen a Red Berenson team no backcheck?Misopogonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07852888144275755045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35971090.post-40206700891869729072013-01-14T22:12:41.646-05:002013-01-14T22:12:41.646-05:00HOCKEYBEAR rules.
