Re: NC$$ Regionals 2025 - 3 months ago
RichH Jeff Hopkins '82 617BigRed Haha UConn scores 1-0 vs. Quinny mid-1st think all of us here can agree to root against Q! I sure can. And I love that they played "Brass Bonanza" when UConn scored! And piped in over the speakers. The fact they won’t let the UConn band play after goals may be the saddest thing in college hockey. All for the old Whaler nostalgists who don’t careby Jeff Hopkins '82 - Hockey

Re: NCAAs 1st rd. Cornell vs. MSU - 3 months ago
snert1288 617BigRed I remember wanting to go to that UNH game up in Durham that year but didnt, maybe because of a big snowstorm? I dont recall losing to them in the NCAAs later that season. I do recall losing to them in Buffalo, since I was there, my sophomore year... There was a huge snowstorm. I recall driving home with my then girlfriend (now wife) and being genuinely terrified.

RichH Jeff Hopkins '82 stereax scoop85 The last 10 minutes of the second period was some of the most wild stuff I've ever seen. My Devils friends are all crashing out right about now... heard defense was optional. +1 There’s no “D” in “Ohio State Buckeyes vs Boston University Terriers” But there's "D" in Big Red. Count on it.by Jeff Hopkins '82 - Hockey
Re: NCAAs 1st rd. Cornell vs. MSU - 3 months ago
And BU scores again early in the 3rd and a shorty to follow. Now 5-3 BU. Gotta admit that the analysis of our game between periods left me non-plussed. Two minutes about how wonderful MSU is then "Cornell is hot right now." Meh. And now 6-3. Stick a fork in them.by Jeff Hopkins '82 - Hockey

Re: NCAAs 1st rd. Cornell vs. MSU - 3 months ago
jtwcornell91 chimpfood Yeah unfortunately the first round is always at brutal times. I hate the new Thursday-to-Sunday regionals weekend. Friday afternoon games were tough enough, but Thursday is ridiculous. Plus we lost Bittersweet Saturday (six games that day; five more in the whole rest of the season). You and me both.

I didn't see anywhere it said that I had to be intelligent to post here They dropped the eLynah entrance exam requirement about 8 years ago. But is there still a swimming test?

Re: NCAAs 1st rd. Cornell vs. MSU - 3 months ago
I really thought about it. Then I looked at the cost. It would be about $1,000 for the trip (flight, hotels, rental-car) and it's too far to drive. It also helped when I was working and had a ton of frequent flyer miles. It might be better if it was only a two day regional, but when they expanded the regionals to three days a few years ago, that kinda killed travel out west for me when we'reby Jeff Hopkins '82 - Hockey

Re: ECAC CHAMPIONS! - 3 months ago
I worked it out. Thanks Wikipedia. Sucks has done it three times 2004, 2006, and 2015. Colgate (2023), Q (2016), and Clarkson (2019) have each done it once. 2019 was especially egregious since the runner-up in both the men's and women's tourney was us.by Jeff Hopkins '82 - Hockey

Re: 2025 NCAAs: Flip the Switch, Flip the Script - 3 months ago
ugarte MSU has higher PPG and lower GA than us despite playing a WCHA schedule. But it's 60 minutes and the gap is much smaller than HC-Minnesota. FWIW, MSU's non-conference opponents other than BC had a winning percentage of about 0.300. Our non-conference opponents had a winning percentage of just under 0.600. And they had a lot of games in the B1G where they gave up 3 or more goals and lby Jeff Hopkins '82 - Hockey

ugarte Jeff Hopkins '82 I thought the Wisconsin penalty shot taker actually moved backward slightly (and they're actually taking about that right now on the intermission show).I thought this at first too, but on replay it looked more like she pulled the puck backwards but kept her momentum going forward. an incredible sequence.
