Puppa

Are you sure? I just dug up the 1984-85 RPI Hockey Yearbook (i.e., media guide) and it states that he was a management major.

Yeah, I'm going to drive 2.5 hours each way to sit in a bar... I was in my apartment listening to the game.

We missed you Dude, that's all. No need to go all fishcore on me.

In honor of our esteemed colleague Red Cloud may I say "Bed Wetter"

There's a fine line between wetting the bed and doing something that isn't sensible. The poster you imitate realizes this, I am sure.

I've driven farther for more trivial things. I guess you're just not hardcore.

Oh well, there's always some other time. We could always meet up at the State Fair if you want.

For many years Jen and I drove 215 miles each way to have dinner at Verdile's or the Plum Blossom-then dessert at Bella Napoli-then take in the RPI hockey game-then either stay in Troy overnight(with a stop for drinks somewhere first-darn I miss Casey's) or drive back here to south NJ and arrive home at 2AM. We don't think a 2+ hour trip to see our boys play is any sort of task. We are hoping that we can restart these trips next season or the following year. Somehow the winter doesn't seem normal without a few RPI games. BTW in a couple years I think the Frozen Four is in Philadelphia and you can bet we will be there since i think we have a good shot at seeing the Cherry and White there. I sure wish they would hold the regionals in Albany though.

I suppose, for me, there is a difference between driving a long distance to see people play live vs. driving a long distance to watch people play on a television set.

Awesome. As the Fair gets closer we'll figure out logistics.

Now you're making me want to listen to the Eurobeat version by Wain L...

At least on the bright side, we'll have a couple months to find another goaltender...

God bless Allen. Much credit has been given to Chase for reviving the program but Allen is due much credit also. He was “unconscious” this year at times (BU, US Junior game). I believe he was hurt most of the second half. His back after US Junior game and Noggin after Q game.

Allen was critical in bringing the program back. For that Allen, God bless and Good luck.

This signing might also have a cascade effect where Kincaid may leave Union. I think they leave in bunches. Kinda of a peer pressure thing.

Thanks again Allen.

Good luck to Allen York...he was fun to watch at RPI and I look forward to seeing him on the big screen in the 'Big Show'...

I can't stand it....losing Polacek and York in the same season...

Well, congratulations to Allen. We've had a great three years with him, and watching him stand on his head continuously this season was tremendous fun. Best of luck to him! I can't wait to see him as a pro!
