Hockey / Re: Olympic Ice, Not UND

[quote ugarte][quote Jacob 03][quote andyw2100][quote Oat][quote andyw2100]
I am really impressed with how easily UND is moving the puck around on the powerplay. I don't recall seeing nearly as many clean passes on powerplays in quite a long time. We --REALLY-- need to not take any more dumb penalties, because we're playing with fire playing these guys a man down.[/quote]
UND passes only look easy because they're playing on Olympic-size ice surface. So there is more room for them to move the puck around.[/quote]
Nope, not true.
The games were played on a 200' X 85' surface, just like the one at Lynah.

I'd say it is the Bizarro Undefeated Dryden, as eLF is the only place that knows who Cropper is and the only place that keeps talking about the Olympic sheet at the Ralph.[/quote]
While not attempting to tear the space-time continuum, the Ralph does have an Olympic-sized practice sheet...

I could be wrong, but I believe that this contract will supply all equipment outside of unis... Check out the Inside Lacrosse homepage, Hopkins (which the story says is also supplied by STX) has the big 'ol Swoosh prominently featured

The band will be there... Of course, we will not be as large as years' past due to a tremendous basketball weekend; however, a few of us could not pass up a trip toCanada North Country.

If I remember correctly, the band will be in section 14 or 15.

After a week of R&R (aka a Saturday full of Columbia football and the basketball home opener), the Pep Band returns to full strength for Harvard (always was?)... However, we will not be visiting the wilderness of New Hampshire, due to the annual battle for the illustrious (mythical?) Trustee Cup in Philadelphia. Be lucky that y'all will be seeing us on Friday after only 6 of 16 hours on a bus...

Even the band seemed out of it cheer-wise, not really starting any, and even when the RIT idiots came over to taunt them, they just sat there looking irritated and didn't utter anything until I started a "Safety Schooool" chant out of desperation.. we were getting out-cheered in our own fan section by 4 RIT guys.
[/quote]
I seem to remember the band being the source of many "Let's Go Red" cheers... not bad for a group containing people that just got back from the Princeton football game at 4am the morning before. As far as the RIT fans, I am proud of the band for not doing anything. The band is not given any leeway on the road by most rink staffs, so a band that doesn't respond to taunting is better than a band that gets kicked out. That, and I really, really wanted the chubby viking kid to come over.

[quote ithacat]Jimmy O'Brien has left Minnesota after only one year to play with Seatlle in the WHL. JOB apparently was disenchanted with the Gophers' free-wheeling style of play and felt that Don Lucia was holding back his development. JOB knows he needs to play defense as well as offense and believes the WHL will be a better fit.
[/quote]
From what I had read and heard back home, this happened simply because he did not want to be a defenseman...

[quote Beeeej][quote Oat]Slow down the cheers especially "It's all your fault - It's all your fault - It's all your fault"
But like I said before this doesn't begin with the crowd. It begins with the drummer who has to regulate the beats when we count up the goals.[/quote]
The beats when we count up the goals are done to the same tempo as "Davy," and always have been (at least in the twenty years I know as "always"). Do you want 'em to slow down "Davy"?[/quote]
Not only that, but I always thought part of the speed was the frenzy following a goal... the thing would speed up on its own, trust me.

[quote Pete Godenschwager][quote KeithK]Why would anyone voluntarily move a pro-sports franchise to Kansas City? Ever looked at the Royals over the last 20 years?[/quote]
The Chiefs do pretty well both attendance and performance wise. Granted, selling out eight home games a year might be easier than getting a good crowd for 41 games a year.[/quote]
You have to consider the product as well. The Royals are not the product of the people of Kansas City, but that of an owner who simply refuses to put a serviceable product on the field. Crosby, Malkin, Staal, etc are easy to sell to people... Angel Berroa and Gil Meche are not.

you're still grumpy about that? get over it Jim, it's our rink.[/quote]
Oh, is that how it works? Any chance you could explain that to Rich S? I think that would do away with about 98% of his posts here. :-P[/quote]
Hmm, seems a storm might be a-brewin'.
Honestly, I could complain until I was blue in the face about the drumming while in play (poor man's Cleveland Indian fans?), however, there appears to be nothing anyone can do about it (short of Schafer...if he complains to the ref it would be taken care of). You can get away with stuff if you live on the frontier apparently.

The tentative document that I have seen says Florida will consist of us, Maine, UMass-Lowell and Clarkson (I wonder what song Estero will play after a Clarkson goal, what with no real fight song...). IIRC, the director of the Mariucci Holiday Classic did mention BC when talking about next year's field.

I get so tired of seeing these guys week after week on cable. At least Moog's color comments are more intelligible than his rantings when coach.[/quote]
C'mon, the weekly Gophers series are staples back home. Growing up without the Northstars, the Gophers were all we had. As for Frank and Doug, they are legends of hockey broadcasting in the Upper Midwest (Sorry, trying not to sound like a full-blown Gopher rube). As for the Frazee goal, it happens...it's also that time of year that NoDak becomes ubeatable (until the Final Five generally).

[quote Robb][quote Cactus12]Agreed. I watched the game again on tws26 today. There was barely contact. Great acting though... I especially liked the part where he came out for his next shift 30 seconds later.[/quote]
That's a fairly dangerous line of thinking - no blood, no foul? If an action is illegal, it's illegal, period, and not dependent on the result of the play.[/quote]
I agree. I haven't seen the play (and couldn't see it at all from Section A, but, personally, I think any back check should result in a five minute major. Checking from behind is extremely dangerous. I don't know if it's the same around here, but in high school hockey the players wear bright orange stop signs to prevent back checking (due to the number of players paralyzed and otherwise seriously hurt by unnecessary back checks). Of course, if you do choose to check from behind, you are suspended and would have to be lucky (or really good) to see the ice again that season.

Is the date and time actually set in stone for all parties involved? I would imagine, if anything, that's the chief hold-up. For instance, have the 2007-08 Rangers and Knicks schedules been released yet? The Powers That Be may have to reschedule accordingly.[/quote]
Coming from the land of 10,000 lakes and one multi-purpose stadium, generally leagues are open to scheduling around prior commitments. Back home, this often involves the NFL. I would think it would be easier for the NBA and NHL, where there are more games. In addition to that, Sunday is generally a light day for NHL games. As for the Knicks, does it really mattter when or where they play as long as they have the contracts they do and Isiah?
