Re: Greatest Game? - 21 days ago
Cornell - Providence, ECAC Quarterfinal 1979. Or as TBRW puts it "The Game" Box Score Second choice would probably be the triple OT game in Green Bay in 2006.by Jeff Hopkins '82 - Hockey
Re: Recruits beyond 2020 - 24 days ago
6'4", 205# D-man. Right up Schafer's alley. He's from Cobham, which is just up the road from Guildford where there's a professional team in the EIHL. Wonder if there's a connection?by Jeff Hopkins '82 - Hockey
Re: Opponent News 19-20 - 4 weeks ago
Trotsky dbilmes Trotsky I had no idea until just now that there is an ostensible ECAC season for 20-21, with 4 teams.One of those lucky teams is going to get to hang an ECAC championship banner in their building! And we don't for '20. Can you say asterisk?by Jeff Hopkins '82 - Hockey

ACM Jeff Hopkins '82 billhoward Don't celebrate until you get a thick aid-package envelope. Given the mature years of many here on the forum, "ED" gives one pause. Gotta admit, it took me a while to figure it out (because I knew it wasn't the obvious one). I thought "ED" was the section of the Crescent they named after Marinaro ...

Re: HARVARD SUCKS - 7 weeks ago
Killer Anyone else notice that if you watch any of the college hockey games currently being televised, the stands tend to look like typical Harvard home games (sans Cornell, of course)? Does that mean if Sucks played this year they'd set attendance records?by Jeff Hopkins '82 - Hockey

Trotsky redice Jim Hyla When a parent can't send their child to school, they generally get them vaccinated. "Generally", perhaps.... But, the anti-vaxers that I know ALL home-school, without exception. To be clear, I don't belong to or agree with that group.

Re: RIT Cancels 2020-2021 Hockey Season - 2 months ago
Trotsky rediceThe same folks who refuse to wear masks & social distance will refuse to get vaccinated (even if it's mandatory). Problem solves itself. Sadly, no. How many of them will become asymptomatic carriers? And so far, neither vaccine is 100% effective.by Jeff Hopkins '82 - Hockey

Jim Hyla Troyfan They had on Wisconsin vs. Notre Dame last night. Did the King of Ivy ask how they did it? Excess of caution is great but not unlimitedly. The King of Ivy is the combined school presidents. Based upon how well CU is doing, I'm willing to give them enough slack to go along with their combined opinion. This is the worst medical problem that any of us have seen. Probably tby Jeff Hopkins '82 - Hockey

CU2007 billhoward David Harding Archer skeptical about spring football happening. “How on earth do you appropriately schedule the facilities, the training staff, and all of the shared resources at work?” Archer said. “Who would you give priority to?

Trotsky jtwcornell91I did visit Hoover Dam once, though.When Dr. Mrs. was on hill staff we got the "double secret" tour. You would absolutely eat it up. The behind-the-scenes stuff at HD is incredible, and that's from a layman. A physicist would appreciate it 100x more. I took the regular tour 35 years ago. Even that was impressive.by Jeff Hopkins '82 - Hockey

Re: Future Frozen Four Sites Announced - 3 months ago
upprdeck where are you staying in vegas to feel that way. had nothing but great times out there. Between shopping/shows/gambling/food/exhibits/golf there is so much to do. Then take day side trips if you want too.. What was sleezy about your visits? I was staying a few blocks from the arena. You had to walk through a smoky, noisy sports bar and casino just to get from the room to the garage aby Jeff Hopkins '82 - Hockey
Re: Future Frozen Four Sites Announced - 3 months ago
Trotsky Jeff Hopkins '82 upprdeck vegas in 2026 would be a fun time. Vegas is a sleaze hole.Only the casinos. Stay away from them and it's one of the most lovely locations in the country. LV is the same as NYC: just erase the people. I avoided them as much as I could. I spent most of my time out in the desert. But you still have to sleep somewhere, and get from your hotel to the arena.by Jeff Hopkins '82 - Hockey

Give My Regards Trotsky French Rage Apparently Maryland Heights is in Missouri.It was a "wide open town" back when, so perhaps there will be an apres hockey scene with gambling, gangsters, and whores. I mean if you like that sort of thing. Meh, sounds like Allentown. I can only find info on 2500 seat indoor and a 4000 seat semi-outdoor arena in Maryland Heights.

Thanks, Jim. Based on the webpage of the hospital network who administered the test, I believe the test I took is a "DiaSorin LIAISON® SARS-CoV-2 S1/S2 IgG" test. I got my info on accuracy from this webpage from the FDA.by Jeff Hopkins '82 - Hockey
