Holy crap these things are excellent.

Those look delicious but pick your poison.  Try tiny fresh picked purple Huckleberry pancakes with maple syrup.  The tartness of these beauties when they truly explode as you eat them is worth polluting your body with too many carbs.  The negative is that I've not seen them on the menu - just picked them to fry up at home.

Marty, you assuming I can cook is your first mistake 😅

We all can do pancakes with practice.

Yes, that was the image.
 
How did you get it to post?

I used this:

" https://imgbb.com/ "

This is similar to the method Stereax mentioned.  It's free and it seems that the images are stored on their servers indefinitely.

This?

RPI now up 1-0.

Quote from: BearLover on March 06, 2026, 04:27:21 PMAlso, why take these games off campus? Women's hockey does not have a large enough following for a neutral tournament to make sense.

I've expressed this sentiment to everyone I have spoken to about this. My prediction is they move back to campus sites as soon as the current contract is completed.

Either that or to Atlantic City.

Much smaller schools have hosted and gotten it done. 

In the past RPI then the ECAC hosted Albany.  Now it's our Ersatz Division III nemesis - Union.

I miss the Coyotes.

And that doesn't even mention his preternatural faceoff numbers.

And probably doesn't realize injury was a factor last year.

Maybe in Hanover they feel as if they're marooned.

Quote from: upprdeck on March 02, 2026, 11:21:28 AMhaving 1700+ SRO packed in would seem to pretty close to a fire code issue.  Are those concourses huge?

I live in Vermont and take my kids to see Cornell at Dartmouth every year (especially with no UVM in the mix).  The concourse at Thompson is huge and does wrap around the entire rink. I have never seen the seats much more than 1/2 to 2/3 full over the many years I have been going.  There are always a few people on the concourse whom I assume just prefer to watch from there.  Does Princeton draw more than Cornell?

I mentioned the tradition in my previous post and I can't find a page with good info, but there's a longstanding practice that whenever Princeton visits Dartmouth, the fans throw tennis balls onto the ice whenever the home team scores. It goes back to when people at Princeton tried to make fun of Dartmouth by throwing tennis balls whenever the visitors had a game at Baker Rink. In retaliation, people at Dartmouth reciprocated the insult and it stuck. It's the only game there that's a guaranteed sellout and certainly draws more than whenever Cornell visits

Edit: Found it. The tradition started much more recently than I had thought

https://www.ncaa.com/news/icehockey-men/article/2017-01-12/some-best-college-hockey-traditions

This is where I'm going to have to chime in again for the newbies (I do this annually, at least somewhere)...

This is by far the most INANE "tradition" in hockey. Not the action, but the reasons. Absolutely asinine. I was there to watch it all unfold.

The Baker Rink crowd did NOT -- I repeat, NOT -- target Dartmouth for this. Total fallacy, and the dumb-ass Dartmouth students of the time somehow got it in their heads that they did.

I was Princeton's broadcaster at the time. The Princeton "crowd," as it were - had a thing where it would throw oranges -- not tennis balls -- on the ice when playing ANY team.

Toot Cahoon, the coach at the time, absolutely hated this. It didn't take him long to make sure this thing was stopped.

For whatever reason -- the Dartmouth "fans" got wind of this, and thought somehow that it was directed at them.

The rest is (moronic) history.

And this isn't delay of game?

Quote from: andyw2100 on March 01, 2026, 03:08:08 PMI meant to post this last night...

Anyone else notice that Clarkson's two backup goalies watched the game, dressed, from near a door at the scoreboard end of the rink instead of from the bench? (Photo attached.) As inexplicable as that was, keeping their helmets on was even more so! And there was only a chair for one of them, so while one used it, the other stood the entire game!

I completely missed that! Wonder why that was. Reminds me of a couple of NHL rinks...

Back when we used to play in the Syracuse (Hockey) Invitational Tournament, the OnCenter benches were too short to accommodate the whole team (maybe the AHL didn't let you dress as many players as in college), so the backup goalies sat in the stands.

Yeah - AHL lets you dress 18 skaters and 1 backup goalie. NCAA lets you dress 19 skaters and 2 backups.

I kinda figured space was the issue. Just not sure why it was an issue for Clarkson and hasn't seemed to be an issue for any other teams or even for Clarkson in the past.

Look at the size of their coach.

Looked exactly like Bright on streaming.  Where did they go wrong?

The incline was designed for a great view over the seat in front of you.  The height difference seemed to be between 30 and 36 inches - though it might be a bit less.  We were uncomfortable enough to eyeball the height.  Great for sight lines except when trying to see the far side same side faceoff circle. In addition the seats are too damn narrow.  My wife and are not wide but the friends we were with are.  I was cramped and skewed to the side as a result. My old man's spine suffered a bit.

Another companion stood for at least the third period. So at least the place was designed for adequate SRO.

I'm wondering if Jim Hyla and Tim V agree.

Quote from: BearLover on March 01, 2026, 11:23:38 AMTo me, the mark of a good season is that we make the NCAAs.

For me that is the mark of a GREAT season.  A good season is we make Lake Placid.

I think we have been so spoiled by the frequency with which Schafer made the ECAC SF that it reset the level of expectation too high, and people are no longer sufficiently thrilled by just that in itself.

If you weren't thrilled in the semi last year...
