The Washington Star article in that list is worth linking separately http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/...=all#pagebreak.

Re: RPI Pros V

so I'm watching NESN Daily, after St. Cloud beat NoDak and they have Adam Oates on....he's talking about all the great goal scorers he got to play with & then threw out this name when talking about Cam Neely, " and also, don't forget Joe' Juneau".

The video here must be that one.

Did he mention that they played against each other in the NCAA semis?

Edit: There is a video interview and another video at the NHL site http://video.nhl.com/videocenter/con...nav-video-main where Brett Hull discusses Adam Oates.

Re: RPI Pros V

Really nice to hear Oates give credit and thanks to his college coach Mike Addesa. I watch these HofF induction ceremonies every year-most of the speeches are quite good but i don't think I have seen one with as much emotion shown-Adam was so close to tears you could hear his voice cracking. As many other players have been-a true credit to the game. Congrats to a great player who deserved his induction and here's hoping for great success for him as coach of the Capitols (unless of course they are playing the Rangers).

Re: RPI Pros V

I mentioned on the main RPI thread that SA was at the HHoF induction ceremony to honor Oates. Obviously they could have met almost anywhere, but I don't think that Oates has been at RPI since SA became coach. Oates didn't attend the '85 team reunion a couple of years ago and his induction to the Ring of Honor was prior to SA. Does anyone have any info?

Looks like Paddy Cullen will be playing in Germany for the rest of the season.

Re: RPI Pros V

Well, he never came to RPI, but he once was a committal. Does anyone know where Nick Quinn is now? He played the last two seasons in the OHL, and this year he was a recruit for U. Guelph, but he is not on their roster.
