Re: NCAA regionals in Springfield - 27 days ago
Beeeej Jeff Hopkins '82 They certainly announced him as the goalie at the rink. Whether the Maine line-up sheet for the media was accurate is another question. The broadcasters later specifically said the sheet had not been accurate. Well there you go. Thanks for the info.by Jeff Hopkins '82 - Hockey

Re: NCAA Round 1 - Maine - 27 days ago
cth95 VIEWfromK Even on tv I still noticed how passive the Maine defenders were. I saw multiple times where their guys just seemed to cower and allow a Big Red player the space to make a play. In one of the articles I read on CHN or USCHO, Mack or Penny said they were surprised how much room they had. They just took advantage of it and let the shot fly. That was Mack. He said it in the posby Jeff Hopkins '82 - Hockey

Greenberg '97 dbilmes The arena website says the parking garage is closed due to construction, so I'm sure parking is going to be fun. Everything I'm reading online says you can park for free at the MGM Springfield, which is an 8 minute walk from the arena. I make no promises, but this is the approach I plan on taking. some pages say parking is free for guests. Others says it's free for eby Jeff Hopkins '82 - Hockey

upprdeck what normal activities, school? best of 3. thur-sat. fri-sun miss no more time than bball schools will I meant the normal activities held in the arenas / training facilities.by Jeff Hopkins '82 - Hockey
Re: Opponents and Others 2023-24 - 30 days ago
upprdeck if regionals were best of 3 I bet more places would try to host it. that would add an extra week as well to the whole thing best of 3 best of 3 final 4 It would also increase the conflicts with their "normal" activities.by Jeff Hopkins '82 - Hockey

pjd8 Jeff Hopkins '82 jtwcornell91 abmarks Trotsky jtwcornell91Now that they're doing the regionals on Thursday-Saturday and Friday-Sunday, couldn't one site bid to host both regionals?This is actually brilliant. Only downsides I can imagine would be finding enough practice facilities for 8 teams plus enough hotel blocks Good point.

Beeeej Jeff Hopkins '82 I missed the first two periods of the famous "Providence Game" because I had a Chem 208 prelim. A bunch of us asked the prof to move it, but he refused. In other words, you were there for the important parts anyway. Exactly.by Jeff Hopkins '82 - Hockey

jkahn Jeff Hopkins '82 "I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now." I saw the Byrds sing that at Barton Spring Weekend my freshman year. Great version of My Back Pages here: I've seen that video. Just seeing George Harrison brings a tear to my eye.by Jeff Hopkins '82 - Hockey
Re: Opponents and Others 2023-24 - 4 weeks ago
Some AHL sites in the Midwest: Chicago, Cleveland, Grand Rapids, Des Moines, Milwaukee, Rockford. ECHL rinks in the area are in Kalamazoo, Toledo, Cincinnati, Iowa City, Indianapolis, Fort Wayne, and Kansas City. FWIW al lot of the ECHL rinks are pretty small (5000 seats).by Jeff Hopkins '82 - Hockey
Re: NCAA regionals in Springfield - 4 weeks ago
sah67 Dafatone but we struggle against the sorts of clutch and grab teams that we get accused of being. Definitely this. It's been the first season in a while where I really noticed us struggling badly against aggressive forechecks, and our players (especially our D) frequently getting muscled around in our zone and coughing up pucks due to the opponents' physical play.That used to be us!

Re: Lake Placid-2024 - 4 weeks ago
Trotsky Give My Regards andyw2100 Seven for me too. (Same seven as Greg.) But can any of you say you've seen Cornell win the title with three different wives? (This was Kim's first, though she was with me in AC at least once and in Lake Placid at least three times before this year.) My girlfriend in 1986 was my wife in 1996 and 1997. I was in Albany in 2003 by myself. Wife number two was wby Jeff Hopkins '82 - Hockey

I haven't seen Cornell win the title with any wives. Unless you count someone else's wife who was sitting near me.by Jeff Hopkins '82 - Hockey

Chris '03 Trotsky Time to retire this thread, I think. Because the final pairwise impacts Cornell's 13th ECAC Title how? To be fair, I interpreted it as #13 in the Pairwise, not our 13th title.by Jeff Hopkins '82 - Hockey

I missed the first two periods of the famous "Providence Game" because I had a Chem 208 prelim. A bunch of us asked the prof to move it, but he refused. The TA's were also pissed they had to be there. FTR, I aced the exam.by Jeff Hopkins '82 - Hockey
Re: Lake Placid-2024 - 4 weeks ago
Trotsky Lake Placid was great again this year, and I am glad it is our tournament home. Anne and I have seen us win 7 ECAC titles now. LGR! I've seen 7 wins, too. I missed 1986, but saw 1980.by Jeff Hopkins '82 - Hockey

Dunc Unfortunately for us students a lot of people may have Prelims the Thursday before spring break - I imagine some will try to come on Saturday tho if we advance That sucks.by Jeff Hopkins '82 - Hockey

I bought a ticket to just Thursday on the official site. It's in the upper deck, but I expect that I'll be able to sit downstairs, at least during our game.by Jeff Hopkins '82 - Hockey

Dafatone BMac Wow BU got screwed. Overall #2 but sent to grand forks because BC takes Providence as #1 and UMass hosts Springfield. I'm deeply offended that you're mixing up the Dakotas. Well, he could have said Sioux City.by Jeff Hopkins '82 - Hockey
