Finding old games to watch

Re: Finding old games to watch

In the 1974 ECAC playoffs, UNH was seeded #1 and RPI #8. There were 16 teams in the ECAC at the time, so #8 was in the middle of the pack. RPI upset UNH 7-6 in OT on Freshman Rick Smith's second goal of the game, which also was his second of the season. I listened to the game on the radio in Troy, but clearly it was televised by UNH because a short snippet, which would make one think that UNH manhandled RPI, is on line. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JUEHAUJsKDE Does anyone know if the entire game is somewhere? The poster doesn't know, and I would be interested in seeing it, as would banished USCHO poster FlagDUDE08 judging by his comment on the video. :D

Sean, why was Terry Meagher only a three year player?

While the NCAA allowed freshman to play on varsity teams in all sports but football and basketball beginning in 1968, the ECAC refused to go along. In February 1971 the ECAC reaffirmed freshman couldn't play hockey, but in September 1971 the schools voted to allow freshmen to play. This led to a dispute between those schools that didn't want to allow freshmen (Dartmouth, Harvard and BC among them) and those that were allowing freshman to play (BU, UNH, Army and Colgate among them). However, BU didn't put all freshmen on the varsity roster; instead BU converted their freshman team to a "B" team, which was composed of mostly freshman. So, while Terry Meagher was eligible to play varsity, he was put on the "B" team for his freshman season.

game that shall not be mentioned or it will be removed

That 1991 Hockey East Championship game reminded me why I despised Coach Walsh (I also saw that Coach Gendron did indeed have red hair).

As a bonus I have most of the 1991 ECAC Championship game, but thanks to BU and Maine the tape ran out before the game. I was surprised that I recognized several Clarkson and SLU players, but I did see those teams several times in both 1989-90 and 1990-91. I loved Les Kuntar's reaction to the game-winning goal.

The latest batch of tapes I pulled out included games 2 & 3 of the BU at MSU 1990 NCAA quarterfinal series as well as more HockeyFest '91: both ECAC semifinal games - Clarkson vs Harvard and Cornell vs St. Lawrence.

Re: Finding old games to watch

I received an email from HockeyTV.com that all archived games are free until 6 April. Anyone know what games they have and how far back they have them?

Re: Finding old games to watch

It looks to be primarily youth traveling teams and NTDP games.

There have to be people out there with massive VHS tape libraries, but the issue is transferring them. I was lucky enough to have a hacked Tivo back in the day where I was able to capture games and then dump them to my PC, old games are another matter though.

Yes, which is why I have never converted most of my massive tape library to digital files. I was wondering if anyone cares that I have made 2 dozen games available, several without BU playing in them.

Anyone have the game in Orono where Jack Parker threw every single item that wasn't nailed down on the BU bench onto the ice?

I was at the game, but I would need to know if it was on NESN and when it was played and who won.

Obviously the 1991 CCT-SLU final is important (and I have it somewhere here on VHS), but McEachern's OTGWG was a thing of beauty.
 
Re: Finding old games to watch

I’m waiting on a new capture card, but I’m going to upload my whole library of Maine games soon. Mostly from ‘93 on. The tape quality is OK, but better to copy now and not let things deteriorate further.

Thank you. Very interesting. Interesting to see how little hitting there is in these games -- for all the talk about "finishing the checks" being old fashioned hockey, it really is an invention of the late 80s. And its not just guys pulling up on checks, its the idea that hitting is the best way to slow a team so once your guy makes a pass you finish becaus it ties them up for 3 seconds.

Brings back alot of memories. One rule change that i feel changed the game tremendously was the tag up rule for offsides. Back then your dmen really had to be able to handle the puck waiting for forwards to get out of the zone. Kind of a funny thing. As an RPI fan I hated BC and BU too Then during the Olympics I was a big fan of the BU guys.Last fall my niece married Jack o`callahans son. Didn`t see that coming back in 78!
