Hey, Gary's a Cornell alum!

So is the guy who unleashed one of the first big computer viruses, and I don't have to like him.

Didn't we have an "embarrassing alumni" thread in JSID?

I met Bettman when I was, like, 5. He was nice. His wife and my mother were sort of friends.

Which means nothing, but it does make all the anti-Bettman vitriol a little funny to me. Not saying it isn't deserved.

Jessica Campbell, as of right now, is not going to be assistant coaching the Kraken next year.

Sounds like she has interest across the league, and that the Kraken would want to bring her back if none of that pans out - so positive all around.

The Twitter comments were a ride. 🤢

But speaking of Campbell, this was a good listen a few months ago:

I don't twat so I couldn't read them, but I am assuming unrelenting misogyny and idiocy from the usual suspects?

Close enough.

Sorry I am so late. Are there any Cornell alumni still alive for the Cup?

Malinski and the Avs as far as players are concerned. No idea about staff or management

Malinski was 1-1-2 +3 as Colorado won 9-6.

Insane game to watch.

Commentator said earlier today that Malinski is a great find for the Avs. Undrafted out of Lakeville MN and Cornell, but plays like a first round pick

Not just any commentator either: it was Erik Johnson, former #1 overall pick and Sam's teammate (and fellow Minnesotan and d-man) on Colorado last season.

I heard that too. High praise indeed.
