Hi All,

I love the “old time” discussion, as viewed from here out on the west coast — where dinner might (it didnt) interfere with watching the games! 

Great to hear from Mike M again and as to Mark’s comment …. Dont call me Surely! :-) (some of you might be old enough to get the reference to “Airplane”??) ….

Sorry for the non-hockey content, but just watching the NCAAs with no team to root for has become, unfortunately, rather routine for us RPI folks. :-(

Cheers to all, enjoy the game on Saturday.

A 5 minute major plus the loss of another forward would afford an enormous advantage to the surging Denver team.  Well worth the risk of losing a challenge.  Even if the referees claim they didn't see it or didn't think it was a major penalty,  forcing them to look at the video would "surely"  have changed their minds (as surely as anything is sure when dealing with referees).
