A sharp-eyed friend notes that Tim Thomas in on the US roster at the Worlds in Vienna. Does this mean he has mailed in the semester, perhaps even that he has signed (I dunno who holds his rights)? I remember when Maine actually had a couple of guys play on the Olympic team, then return in time for finals (and, incidentally, the tournaments). Granted that was Shawn "I never met a rule I didn't want to violate" Walsh, but I suppose Thomas could be, um, studying while he's over there. Anybody know for sure whether Thomas has flipped off his last Lynah crowd? Greg Berge Cornell 86, 99 Ivy League and ECAC Champions Let's Go Red! "The rooster clucks defiance."
