Nowledge. As we used to say at Tulane, "What does the N in UNO stand for?"

Richter's been busy, it seems. From Wiki:

Mike Richter returned to college in 2004 and will graduate in 2007 from Yale University. He is majoring in Ethics, Politics & Economics (EP&E). Richter entered Yale through the Eli Whitney Students Program.[1] His admission was notable in that Yale admits very few older students into the College and he was among this highly select group in 2004. Richter also volunteers as a coach for Yale's men's hockey team coaching alongside head Keith Allain. Allain was an assistant coach for Team USA in the 1996 World Cup of Hockey.[2]

In 2007 the Rothenberg Political Report reported Richter, who lives in Guilford, Connecticut was considering running for U.S. Congress under Connecticut's 4th congressional district in 2008 as a Democrat. However, on March 23, 2007, he stated that he would not run,[3] despite still expressing interest in seeking public office one day.

Richter competed in Ironman Lake Placid on July 22, 2007. The triathlon involves a 2.4 mile swim, 112 mile bike ride, and a 26.2 mile run. He completed the grueling race in 12 hours 49 minutes 10 seconds.

On November 4, 2007 Richter ran in his first New York City Marathon finishing with a time of 3:54:35.[4].

Cool story ... even if he was a Ranger.

"See that big N up there on that hill? It stands for 'nowledge'."

About the only good thing Fox did when they had the NHL rights was to produce some very cool hockey videos. One of my favs (and my kids) was called "Masked Men" that profiled, of course, goalies.

They did, let's see, Hasek, the Beezer aka the Boozer, Roy, Richter and Brodeur. (I think there was one more)

Anyway, Richter came across as an extremely focused and bright guy who was an absolute fanatic about fitness and diet.

JD is quoted as saying "Mike Richter is the hardest working guy in hockey" So, this doesn't surprise me.

It's often paired with the word "Thenledge."

Hmmm. I'm having trouble recalling ... who was the goalie for the team that won the '96 World Cup of Hockey ... and what was that country again?

Um ... it's TV. What do you expect?

It was a joke, newb. Any other international achievements in the last 10 years you'd like to mention?

No? OK then.

I was replying in the same vein. Boy you Canucks are sensitive about the hockey. Don't make me mad or I'll diss curling!

The N in UNO also stands for "Never draft Augie Schmidt ahead of Dwight Gooden".

There's a dated threadjack for ya.
