They split up so they could shop for each other, but at one point Hayes literally bumped into his wife. He didn't notice her, even though she was cradling their newborn in her arms. ("I call those his black holes," says Pistorello, a clinical psychologist for the university. Hayes sheepishly explains...

The five-goal loss matched a pair of 6-1 drubbings at the hands of Minnesota-Duluth in November...
