Good news from McNally - both our centers are back! (https://x.com/i/status/2021716979040551063)
Anyways, get the points and GTFO.
Ivy matchups, make them count.
So apparently I'm an idiot and can't read our schedule 😂
I know what I want for my birthday.

Well, and a win would be nice.
Does anyone have a recommendation for a pre-game meal in beautiful Troy?

Downtown Troy actually had a great restaurant scene when I was there in the past. I don't think you can go wrong with too many places

Verdiles for Italian but I hear the neighborhood has gotten sketchy. Off Shore Pier in East Greenbush for seafood. Knotty Pine for pizza, about a mile from the rink.

Verdiles if you like 1950's decor - not sure if the waiters have bought new outfits this year. Knotty Pine is dead - replaced with an ethnic pizza fast food feeling joint. The Pines on Hoosick Rd is run by the Knotty Pine family and I have only tried it 2 or 3 times.
Ali Baba if you like Turkish middle eastern plates.
Our family have eaten at Plum Blossom once or twice a year for about 18 years - really enjoy the atmosphere and the food is better Chinese than anything I have had in the local area here (Binghamton - Ithaca).
Best of luck ...

Plum Blossom is almost always a hit. Not a Chinatown experience but the owners are always busting their butts to keep things running smoothly. A nice couple who have transformed a crappy bar into a little palace of a restaurant. The owner's hobby is architecture and the result is fine.
This is the Big Red's first game on Friday the 13th since 1/13/2017, a 5-1 win at Princeton.
FWIW, years ago on HOCKEY-L I posted about Cornell's near-surreal record in Friday the 13th games in the Lynah era -- it was something like 9-1. Of course, they then proceeded to lose four of their next five games played on that date, but they've rebounded a bit since then, and the record, if my math is correct, now stands at 15-5.
(And unless something catastrophic happens, the Big Red will have another one of these games on March 13th when the ECAC quarterfinal round begins)

Yep, the game where freshman year Jeff Malott had a hat trick. He didn't have a goal up to that point in the season, too, and look at where he is now.
We are 16-5-0 in Friday the 13th games. We were 13-1-0 at one time. The 9 years elapsed since the last is the longest interval since 1981:
02/13/1942 W 10 Union 1
03/13/1970 W 6 Harvard 5 ECAC SF
03/13/1981 W 4 Colgate 3 ECAC SF

11/13/2015 W 5 Colgate 1
01/13/2017 W 5 Princeton 1
As Give My Regards said above, the first game of this year's ECAC QF will also be a Friday the 13th.
We have done this double just twice, sweeping in 98 and being swept in 09.

Picked up take out this evening.
