    But you are absolutely correct. She gets better looking with age. Reminds me a little of Janice Pennington.

      Today is 2 April 2012. There are 187 days until RPI's next game.


      This is based upon 6 October for the start of next season.

      That is the day that an exhibition game is supposedly scheduled.

        I agree-even though Janice has had a lot of help from the plastic boys.

That probably ends the RPI -> HEA pipe dream.

          Interesting stuff.

          Im curious to see how all the conference jumping changes the pairwise rankings for the 2013-14 season and beyond. With the majority of power teams lined up in the Big10, NCHC and Hockey East, will they get most/all of the at-large bids to the ncaa's on a yearly basis? Will the WCHA/ECAC/AHA struggle to get more then just the conference champ in the tournament every year?

            Good questions, but I think that the WCHA schools will get two and sometimes three bids for year including the automatic one. That's more than thoe schools usually get. The AHA has never gotten more than the automatic, and it should stay that way.

            With a total of six automatics, that leaves ten at-large. I would expect those three leagues to typically get seven of them.

              Considering the ECAC is able to get at least one at-large bid with the leagues as they are (and sometimes two, I don't know if they've had 3 since the tourney went up to 16 teams), I don't see that changing in the foreseeable future. Also, remember that BTHC and BHHC cannot receive an auto-bid in the first 2 years (although I don't know if they're going to just re-brand the CCHA for one of those); they must get in at-large until the 2016 tournament.

                Yes and Yes.

                  No, they haven't.

                  You are correct. And, no, rebranding will not help. I'm pretty sure that the rule is that six teams have to play together in league play against one another before an autobid will be awarded. If anyone can find the actual rule, that would be great.

                    RB asked this several pages back regarding the date for the Men's Hockey Banquet. I just received an email from Kevin Beatie; it's May 5th....@ the Alumni House....cocktails are from 6-6:30 followed by dinner/program. He didn't specify the cost, I'll assume it's about the same as last year ($30).
                    Brandon Pirri: Turk would give it to Jagr. That's awesome! Jagr's untouchable. And he would give it to Jagr.

                      I am assuming that I will be giving a speech again this year at the banquet.

                          In 2010, the Relay for Life was held on the same night as the hockey banquet. That means it was April 23rd.

Winslet just seems to look somuch better now than 10 years ago. Speaking of getting better with age-fully expect our freshman class from this year to show so much more next year.
