Those 5 years were enough for me. Those two 60 goal years were as pure as it gets. Who knows what might have been if the next year hadn't been lock-out shortened. He was simply one of the most entertaining players ever and if we are going to complain about longevity then Ken Dryden shouldn't be in either!

Enough about that though let's get to the real point ... Oates at last! Hooray for Adam. Well deserved indeed.

That is exactly the discussion-is a short career, even with some extremely effective years, enough to warrant a HOF induction? In any sport? I loved watching Bure-and had hoped when he came to the Rangers i could see him for many years flying up and down the ice. But I just do not know if a few years should qualify for such an honor. I have particularyly found it irksome for Baseball-and now perhaps hockey. Your point about Dryden is well taken-I think his career was also a bit short for inclusion-but he did do rather well in the Stanley Cup.

I have heard some rumors Oates maybe gay, has anyone else heard these rumors? Having family members who are it does not matter to me if he is I am just curious if it is true. Also curious if it is true what it might do to his coaching career should it become public knowledge. Especially since the majority of people seem to have an issue with it.

Agreed. How many others figured out who the four members of the team who are not listed are? (I won't list their names.)

I figured out one of them easily. I'm still working through the others.

OK, I got them all, but had to cheat on the only upperclassman.

For those that don't normally vote in polls, FS23 has posted one about "what program do you follow?" you can vote for Rensselaer here:

http://board.uscho.com/showthread.php?100765-What-program-do-you-follow-Part-3-Northeastern-Yale


He is running the poll in conjuction with his "Program Mt.Rushmore" thread:

http://board.uscho.com/showthread.php?100752-Your-program-s-Mount-Rushmore&p=5460478#post5460478


for which the RPI nominees currently are:

Ned Harkness, George Servinis, Frank Chiarelli, Mike Addesa, Adam Oates, Pres. Houston, Darren Puppa, Joe Juneau



It seems like the mountaintop is getting a bit crowded with a list that long....if we were forced to be really selective, who would be the "essential" four or five we had to include?

The poll to vote on the choices is now up. http://board.uscho.com/showthread.php?100807-Mount-Rushmore-Rensselaer

Not that there is anything wrong with that but ... this was a rumor related to the breakup of his marriage when he was on the B's. It was debunked back in the 90's.

Please come back if you hear news of anything that wasn't disproved in the last century...

Today is 28 June 2012. There are 100 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.

They sent us home early. Only two pools were needed. The key is to get jury duty before a Holiday. :) I had it once the day before Labor Day or Memorial Day and no pools were needed at all.

OTOH, the Fed Court will probably call me in a week.
