Boston College Women's Hockey - 2012-2013 Season Thread

Re: Boston College Women's Hockey - 2012-2013 Season Thread

BC did back in the days when the Sioux existed.

Any evidence of the Sioux having existed has been removed from the front of the building! :eek:

It definitely served as a representative symbol of the 4,999 posts that came before it. :)

BC leading 2-0 over Clarkson in the 1st. Clarkson, which does not have 4 lines anyway, is skating 8 Forwards and 7 D. It's going to be a long night for the home team.

Pfalzer (PPG) and Trevigno with the markers. Skarupa with a helper on goal #2.

Really a phenomenal period for the Eagles. Clarkson looks lost.

The period included one of the best 5 on 3 kills I've ever seen.

TTT:

If I remember correctly, this bi-annual road trip for the Eagles to Clarkson and St Lawrence represents one of your's and Joe's excellent adventures complete with police cars, snow, parking tickets, fan abuse (well that was most locations for you guys) and then some. Must seem like a long time ago; or maybe not.

HA you would be correct. Also Mike got pulled over by border patrol too, in addition to getting a ticket on the way up. That was quite the trip...

HUGE WIN FOR THE EAGLES TONIGHT. Ohhhhhhhhh YEAHHHHHHHHHH

They tend to be on the outlook for out of state plates, specially late in evenings. When coming home late from road trips, see them hanging out many times in various places. In the first five years after 911 they were noticeably vigilant. They have been a little less noticeable in recent years. One of their depots along a major NY State route seems to have disappeared within the last year. Maybe they fell victim to budget cuts ?.

The dumb thing was they never once asked Mike for ID, which would have cleared things up immediately because he's got a military ID.

That conversation was utterly hilarious:

"Where are you coming from sir?"
"St. Lawrence for a hockey game..."
"Where you headed?"
"Boston..."
"Hmmmmm.... [shines light inside back seat, where Joe is half asleep reading the SLU/BC game program] ... you came all the way up here for......... WOMEN'S hockey?"
"Yes?"
"...Open up the trunk for me sir."

I'm sure you were all decked out in your BC jerseys too. hard to believe a story like that, huh! Did they make you disassemble your horn?

I have the pleasure to have to deal with them on a weekly basis. The first question and your answer to it is always the key to the rest of the convo.

Last weekend for instance got a new one thrown at me:

Q: "What is your licence plate"
A: "Starts with a B and ends with 122, but don't remember the rest"
(We have long Tag numbers, 4 chars and 3 digits, and got a new tag earlier this year)
Q: "Licence plate number please"
A: "Am I supposed to remember that ?"
Q: " Your licence plate number please"....Audible agitation in the voice!
A: "Hold on a minute, I'll pull out my car registration from the Glove compartment"

Once I produced the Licence plate info, convo was over real quickly.


Another time, pull up and the Agent looks at me, tilts his head sideways and frowns with eyebrows, but sais nothing.....So I proceed to tilt my head over as well and frown as well......Long moment of dead silence, my wife sais nothing (Thank God). Eventually Agent asks where I'm headed and the convo was over in a few seconds. He was clearly trying to get me to say something stupid and then throw the book at me.

When the first question is: Where where you born, I have to answer my native land in Europe, and that leads to inevitable series of follow-up questions, as to why you came over, when you came over etc etc etc. One time the agent had a good sense of humor when I told them I had been over here for 33 years and his answer was...."That is long enough I guess, Have a good day sir".

Once the first question was: "Do you have a gun"....Be careful how you answer that one :D


Just realize, they are in control and the minute you say something stupid you are in for long investigation/delay.

No but all they found in the trunk was every piece of sports equipment imaginable that Mike had.

No SLU women's hockey players getting smuggled to the border.

Funny thing is they never question us Canucks about the Hockey thing and the lengths we go to to support it. The view of most agents seems to be..."Figures, must be a Canadian thing". :D

Another great moment from when I was still young (Early 20's)...Get pulled over for speeding on the freeway, doing about 135 in a 100 zone (KM's not Miles). Four College students heading home for the weekend on a Friday afternoon......

Cop takes of his hat, displaying his fiery red hair, leans into the car window and asks...."Where is the fire".....Well I had to bite my tongue hard not to say something stupid, like on your head.....Anyways, got off easy on the speeding ticket, but my two buddies in the back seat both got written up for not wearing their seatbelt. With the three citations to write up, he held us up for over an hour. (This was 30 plus years ago in the days when it was all handwritten stuff, and they would check with head office for violations via radios, no computers, so each citation would take forever).

On the way back from Dartmouth in 2007 we got pulled over for a broken taillight. After explaining where we came from, the cop spent the next 10 minutes asking Grant questions about BC because his son was a junior in high school and wanted to apply to BC. Fun times.

I loved that trip up to St. Lawrence, even if it was cold as all hell. We didn't actually see BC play the Clarkson women, although we did go to a Clarkson-SLU men's game at Appleton Arena, sitting in the Clarkson section. We were on the wrong side of that one as IIRC, SLU smoked them. This was in '09. That was a great hockey experience...loved those wooden seats
