Unbelievable & weird officiating - there were more than 2 times as many penalty minutes against Cornell as Michigan, including a 5 on 3, during a 5 min major. So, we actually were supposed to be watching the CAPS vs Winnipeg game, but were switching a lot. Eventually just went to the Cornell game - especially after the final choking of the CAPS in the OT. Seemed the college game was about the same speed by then - they're not really IRL - but seemed so. We're happy to see that - so DH will be parading around the house wearing his little tuque - when he was the back-up goalie at Big Red - they didn't have to wear their helmets on the bench, so that is what he wore. Consequently, he cherishes that 30 year old knit cap. It is very carefully washed - and he wears it when there are tourneys here that he's officiating at in some capacity - like when we worked off-ice official stuff at the frozen four last year, or at Midget Nationals and at the Women's Juniors this year. Go BIG RED!!!!!!!!!! Ellice |

the NCAA needs to get it's head out of it's ass I totally agree!!!! And there have been rumblings (not from the NCAA) over the names of several local HS's team names - Lancers, Knights, as being "violent or supportive of violence" Wow! I guess maybe they should stop most sports, since they are/can be "violent"! Hockey, football, baseball (might get hit with a ball, donchaknow!), tennis, Lacross, and on and on..... In fact, I can't think of one sport off the top of my head that doesn't involve some sort of "danger"! Joan |

I know nothing about the situation with the Sioux nations. In Florida, the Seminoles and FSU have a pretty respectful situation, in that the athletes have worn jackets made for them by the Seminole tribe for many years - thus providing $$$ way before anyone thought to do the right thing. There was a sacred pipe ceremony in 1969 in which elders from both reservations "gave" the University the right to use their name. That makes no difference to the powers at the NCAA!!!! In fact, they never contacted *any* of the tribes about their feelings on the topic before they made their decree back in 2007! The Sioux, being an oral history culture, wanted no pictures about the event. Now the NCAA is using even that against us, because there's nothing in writing about the event! Who knows how the truly offensive Redskins in the NFL has managed to stay as a name - that really is much the worst - imagine a team name for the pejorative color a group's skin. Really. That I do agree with. The high school I went to used to be called the Redskins and I did support that name change. They are now the Knights. I guess if the PC Police are rallying in NH about those types of names, that name may disappear, too! Joan |

Also - what's with the NCAA Hockey logo - they have nubs for feet - lobbed off with no skates - I'm thinking of writing a letter! You should! That looks ridiculous.

After 31.5 years, my microwave finally needs to be replaced. ... When I turned it on the other night, the rust spot was glowing orange like it was about to catch fire, so as a safety matter, I ordered a new one. Certainly sounds like it needs replacing!

Now that we're an old married couple - not that it might not have happened in the younger, courting days post hockey, after much liquid replenishment.... And it may have been said that I perhaps did marry him for his "perky, Lithuanian, goalie-boy butt" amongst other attributes.... There is something to be said for a guy who has spent virtually his entire life doing a sport that involves a serious amount of leg & gluteal muscle strength & endurance - if that appeals to you. As long as everything else doesn't go to seed - I just feel bad that he's kind of stuck with me after my warranty so clearly has worn out - so to speak. The tuque is away now, safe for the season. But, hey, evidently Ovie decided to come back to play for the last several games.... Ellice |
