Grzelcyk is soooo good.

"Not reopening until January" could mean a lot of things. I'm sure they would move to online courses for first semester but could they also be ok with housing just athletes? They could take their online classes and compete in games even if no fans allowed. So many things in play here I really don't know the logistics of it all. Maybe you have to chop off the first month of the season? But then I am sure you will have people saying let's just chop off the first semester and everyone will play only league games in the 2nd semester.

All depends onhow this evolves. If i had to guess it would seem that multi thousand person crowds at sporting events may be one of the last things to come back..

It likely will be. There's almost no greater risk activity for the spread of viral infections than crowds at sporting events and concerts. Determining when these events, with spectators, should come back should be viewed as the end of the road.

Maintaining social distance at Agganis would have been very easy task this past decade

Polling seems to be showing that a significant majority of sporting fans won't come back out anyway until a vaccine is available.

Thanks for the very generous offer.

Thanks. My bank has partnered with Zelle and I also have a PayPal account, or an old fashioned check works. If you are interested just send me a message on your preferred choice and I will send you the information.

Hi Sean - I tried sending you an email through the USCHO site. Did you receive it? It included my direct email address which I'd rather not post on the open site. I do want to start the ball rolling on funding the necessary technology to permanently archive the games you've uploaded, and I'd welcome anyone else joining me if they are of like mind.

Hi, I just sent you a second email. If you don't get it let me know and I can use a different email address.

While true, taking that poll in the midst of the worst part of this pandemic isn't going to produce the most relevant results to sports occurring 6-8 months from now. Public polling on these kinds of things is like asking people their thoughts on the weather.

I am a frequent reader but almost never post. However, I am very grateful for Sean Pickett's posting of complete vintage games and would like to know how I might contribute some money to help him with the expenses involved.

Eddie Effinger, the Director of Hockey Operations, left to take a head coaching job at St. Olaf College. Every time I hear St. Olaf, I think of Betty White’s character on Golden Girls.

My wife's favorite show. They are still showing reruns on Hallmark Channel. She has watched every rerun about 1,000 times.

Re: BU Off-Season: Forward to the Past

Here are the latest games I've uploaded to my Google drive:

1990 Hockey East Quarterfinals game 2 NU at BU
-when you've said Joe Sacco you've said it all
1990 Hockey East Quarterfinals game 3 BU at BU
-dogfight
1995 Nov 14 BU at Maine
-the rematch
1995 #500 Nov 21 Cornell at BU
-and retroactively #501
1998 Hockey East Quarterfinals game 2 MC at BU
-the ugly
1998 Hockey East Quarterfinals game 3 MC at BU
-the bad
(and I'm not talking about the tape the games were on, which was both)
2006 NCAA Northeast Regional Semifinal BU vs UNO
-the good
2007 Nov 16 BU at UVM
-goals, goals, goals
2009 Feb 27 BU at UMass
-comeback kids

bonus material
1990 NCAA First Round game 3 highlights UND at BU

When I started converting my old tapes I thought I had no BU losses and with the '98 HE QF game 3 I believe that brings the total I have found and digitized to 7 (not including the '91 title game).

Effinger takes over what has been an ongoing disaster at St. Olaf.

Former Wisconsin coach Mike Eaves was there and departed for Cleveland of the AHL before the start of the season. Eaves had a poor tenure, and the players that hadn't transferred couldn't wait for him to leave. They only won four games all season and the interim coach was not retained.

Effinger has nowhere to go but up, since they are at rock bottom.

Perhaps you're right. But we're all assessing this situation while in the midst of the maelstrom. By July, August the situation may be entirely different. Conceding that all colleges must look far into the future while making their decisions.

It's very reasonable and correct that no one should be making these kind of projections right now. The range of possibilities of where we are on October 1 is very broad. Anywhere from much worse than expected to fairly better than expected. No one knows at this point.
