Re: hockey line forming - 18 years ago
In the real world there is a concept called lawsuits. If anyone did actually get injured, find a good lawyer and sue the Athletics Department, the University, and Gene Nighman. If they realize that the cost of doing it wrong far exceeds the cost of doing it right, there may be some incentive to change. It is, after all, about the almighty greenback.by Jeff Hopkins '82 - Hockey

They just passed a law to allow you to buy a case of beer on a Sunday, but only during limited hours, and only from a "beer distributor".

You're right. No administrator has the balls to do that. But I'd love to see it, and I'd love to hear the ESPN announcers tripping over their tongues when it happened.by Jeff Hopkins '82 - Hockey

Re: What I Did For (Sports) Love - 18 years ago
I've heard stories about Eagle fans who scheduled their wedding for the bye week so they wouldn't miss a game for their honeymoon. Personally, I don't think what I've done for sports is too far out there but: - Wearing an orange wig and a clown hat to harass Ray "Bozo" Casey when Princeton came to Lynah. - Making a foam rubber #1 hand out of an old couch cushion since nobody madeby Jeff Hopkins '82 - Hockey

Re: NHL: It's over - 18 years ago
It seems that the league is eliminating more east-west travel. I just saw the Flyers' schedule. They only play games against two of the three western divisions, and only one game per year against each of those teams. They've increased the number of games within the division to 6.by Jeff Hopkins '82 - Hockey

Re: Alumni in the pros - July 2005 - 18 years ago
Good news for Charlie Cook. I was watching the Flyers press conference this evening and they announced that two of their defensemen, Markus Ragnarsson and Mattias Timander, have decided they're going to stay in Sweden rather than come back to the Flyers. That means the Flyers only have 3 defensemen on the roster who didn't play with the Phantoms this year - Eric Desjardins, Kim Jonsson, andby Jeff Hopkins '82 - Hockey

I guess I'm gonna pick a ticket plan that has the Pens in it this year. And I'm glad Crosby didn't go to the Rangers (like Jeremy Roenick wanted).by Jeff Hopkins '82 - Hockey
Re: NHL: It's over - 18 years ago
Well, some things are good and some aren't. I think they screwed up by not including no-touch icing, but I like the no-redline two line pass and touch up for offsides. I think they should have rescinded the Gretzky Rule - offsetting penalties should cause a four on four, too. And the restrictions on the goalies touching the puck really had minimal impact in the AHL last year. I don't know wby Jeff Hopkins '82 - Hockey
