Re: cu 2 - u18 0 - after 1 - 18 years ago
That thought did actually occur to me Looks like U-18 was up 4 on 3. Gametracker missed one of the three.by Jeff Hopkins '82 - Hockey
Re: cu 2 - u18 0 - after 1 - 18 years ago
Anybody want to translate Gametracker saying we only had two players on the ice for the U-18 goal?by Jeff Hopkins '82 - Hockey
Re: cu 2 - u18 0 - after 1 - 18 years ago
Hard to tell from what I've seen so far, but based on the two goals, it's pretty clear what the #1 power play unit is: Moulson-Scott-Bitz Pokulok-O'Byrneby Jeff Hopkins '82 - Hockey

Re: [Ticket Line] How does everyone else do it? - 18 years ago
Someone should tell Athletics that this is a method for assessing fan interest. From that they can determine where they can focus their budgets and where they can charge higher advertising dollars. That might make them spend the money to put in a monitoring system.by Jeff Hopkins '82 - Hockey
Re: [OT] NHL Scoring Out of Control! - 18 years ago
If that's the case, it seems like they apply it inconsistently. I'm sure they don't, but it does seem that way to me. I'll have to watch for that once I get back to the states.by Jeff Hopkins '82 - Hockey
Re: [OT] NHL Scoring Out of Control! - 18 years ago
Also don't forget "the Gretzky Rule." During his playing days, both players during offsetting minors sat in the box and they played 4 on 4. Edmonton was scoring too much, so now they play 5 on 5 (though the players are still out for 2+ minutes). I mean when's the last time you saw a good 3 on 3 - not too often. I'd rather they repeal that rule, too, but It probably won't happen.by Jeff Hopkins '82 - Hockey
Re: [OT] NHL Scoring Out of Control! - 18 years ago
That save was the play of the day on CNN World Sport this AM in Korea, which is unusual since that program is usually 30 minutes of soccer and cricket highlights. The fact that hockey even raised a ripple, says how incredible the save was. Though I'm glad the Flyers eventually won out after choking so badly (again).by Jeff Hopkins '82 - Hockey

Re: Oct 14, 15 - 18 years ago
And Michigan is now 3-0, and will probaqbly be 4-0 after Sunday. My money says if OSU beats CC on Saturday, then they're #1, Michigan #2 and we stay #3. If OSU and CC split, Michigan is #1, OSU and CC #2 & #3 and we're #4. Not that it matters.by Jeff Hopkins '82 - Hockey
Re: [OT] Princeton Tickets - 18 years ago
The only downside to buying through Princeton is you end up on their mailing list and get all sorts of mailings on football, squeakball, etc. Other than that, no difference. Last year I just showed up and bought SRO. Nobody in the CU section cares about seat location anyway.by Jeff Hopkins '82 - Hockey

Re: Louis Chabot- Senior Weekend - 18 years ago
If you have to live in touchy-feely land, where everybody has to feel good about themselves, then you just don't understand life in the real world (and I'm not talking MTV). I respect Louis for sticking it out even though I think he probably knows he'll never see any significant playing time. But you don't sacrifice everything all of the other players have worked for to give him a warm and fuby Jeff Hopkins '82 - Hockey

Re: hockey line forming - 18 years ago
Many pro sports team have some system of full and partial season ticket packages. The key to those, however, is the fact that without the partial plan, you won't come close to selling out the place. The teams that sell out their arenas on season tickets alone (e.g. NY Giants, Phila. Eagles) have zero incentive to spend the extra money to create partial plans. Therefore, in the case of Lynah wby Jeff Hopkins '82 - Hockey
Re: STOP THE MADNESS: Bring the Bell Back to B - 18 years ago
The cowbell being somewhere other than section B is like.... 1979, when there were two cowbells, one of which was in D and the other of which, I believe, was in C. or 1981, when they had the cowbell band which usually played once between C and D (or D and E?) and the other time on the townie side of the rink at center ice (between L and M?) The cowbell doesn't need to be in B. The kby Jeff Hopkins '82 - Hockey
Re: What I like about being a Big Red fan - 18 years ago
Last year I went to the Princeton-Alabama Huntsville game at Baker with a co-worker of mine, his wife (a UAH alumna) and their four kids, three of whom play organized hockey. I had a ball teaching his kids and the few UAH fans some of the Lynah cheers and just showing them what it feels like to be a member of the faithful.

Re: [OT] New York State alcohol laws - 18 years ago
Yeah, at least we never had 3.2 beer during my lifetime. I lived in W. Virginia just after they switched from 3.2 beer sold only in ABC stores to regular beer and malt liquor sold in the local mini mart or gas station. There was only a slight increase in the rate of DWI for the next year or two.by Jeff Hopkins '82 - Hockey
Re: Better line ideas? - 18 years ago
The way they did it in the late 70's to early 80's seemed to work. Divide the student section up into three parts sold on three different days. The first part is only open to senior and grad students. The second part is open to anyone who got shut out on day 1 plus sophs and juniors. The third day is open to any student. You could buy a ticket anywhere in the student section on any day.by Jeff Hopkins '82 - Hockey
Re: [OT] New York State alcohol laws - 18 years ago
For those who aren't familiar with the stupidity, Pennsylvania's archaic beer laws: - You can buy single bottles or cans in a bar or restaurant, but you must drink them there. No take out. - You can only buy a six-pack in a bar or restaurant, but you must take them out. You can't drink them there. There a limit of two six-packs. - You can only buy a case of beer at a beer distributor, butby Jeff Hopkins '82 - Hockey
