He boarded the train and found an empty seat. Aby Jeff Hopkins '82 - Hockey

Micah Zandee-Hart getting some good ice time (and some praise from the TSN announcers) in tonight's Canada-USA game in St. Louis. She's even skating on the power play. Johnston, Saulnier, and Jenner are also playing, of course, but Kristin O'Neill is not playing as far as I can tell.by Jeff Hopkins '82 - Hockey

Re: Polls 12/5 - 9 months ago
Trotsky Swampy billhoward I know. There should still be a scarlet letter attached to blowing a 4 goal lead. In some cultures, the leader might turn to seppuku. (n/a to coaching football) Good idea. Maybe Mike can atone by knifing Archer. The football coach is less competent than the spy. And that's saying something.by Jeff Hopkins '82 - Hockey

Thanks for sharing those stats. I was fortunate to have seen every one of them play, except John Gillies, 41st on the list. What's really impressive is that there are defensemen on that list!

Re: St. Lawrence postgame - 10 months ago
Trotsky RichHHonestly, I rather enjoyed the broadcaster. He had to juggle radio, TV, intermission, color, interviews, sponsors, and tugging at his mask all alone. Wouldn’t surprise me to learn he was also running the board. Seriously, he wasn’t your typical homer and complimented (and criticized) CU fairly all night. I agree completely.

Al DeFlorio Weder Just noticed on the schedule that there is a home game against Washington State on the afternoon of Dec. 19, and WSU is playing at BYU the afternoon of the 18th. That’s a pretty rough turnaround for WSU (assuming that they are flying commercial). Also, WSU appears to be coming East just for that game. I’d be interested in the backstory.
