    Re: RPI 2013/14 Part II: The HFH is Covered with Frozen Drivel

    The sad part is that RPI will suffer more than Union as a result of this fracas. While Union is solidly entrenched as an NCAA team, RPI will need every resource working at its best to climb back into contention. Any suspensions will be a decrement to those chances. So Union got what they wanted even at the expense of possibly hurting their eventual seeding. Union now sucks more than Clarkson.

        Just because FD criticizes the team when they do not play together as one doesn't mean he isn't a strong supporter. I too suffer every time they lose but if you can't be realistic about the shortcomings then you have little chance of fixing them.

          Let's quit with the conspiracy theories. Two guys for Union (Bodie and Bennett) lost their heads at the end of a hard fought game. That's about the extent of it. After that it was a bunch of kids pushing each other around along with a few rather lukewarm punch attempts. To think that the Union guys were consciously trying to get RPI players suspended to ruin our NCAA chances is just plain stupid.

          If missing two players (or more) against Clarkson keeps us out of the NCAA then we shouldn't have been there to begin with. We're likely going to need a big run in the ECAC tournament regardless of how we do next weekend so the entire topic is somewhat moot anyhow.

            Not suggesting that Union planned it, I believe it was heat of the moment - my point is that they are happy to put any dent in the Tute chances. More than a big run at the ECACs is needed. Rensselaer needs not only to get to Lake Placid, but to win it. To get an autobid will require us to get our RPI up to about .5400 or more - very unlikely at this point. We don't know what suspensions will be handed out yet. Hopefully none will be long-term.

              Oh please. I too suffer with every loss, and I am disappointed with the results so far this season.
              But where we differ, is I don't predict a loss before it happens or expect a collapse in the second period of a winnable game.
              He may be a great fan, but he lacks support for this team.
              I am happy to see that he isn't blaming the engineers for the outrageous behavior at the end of last nights game.

                I've always been in support of the team. Now that Appert has beat a team he calls his rival at least one in the past three years, regardless of league consideration, he receives respect from me again. That was what I said in November, and I follow through now. Was the "Fire Appert" thread pre-emptive? Perhaps. However, one thing that it did do is show everyone's stance on what they would like to see out of the team, and what they would like to see done in order to get there. The cultists were exposed, and everyone who was disappointed with a facet of the team was given a chance to express themselves freely without judgement. Mission accomplished, bring on next week. We have a belt to defend (the New York Belt).

                    As was mentioned by DeepRed in the score thread, if you go into something expecting the worst, you receive a pleasant surprise if something good happens, and if something bad happens, it was expected, so no biggie. Also, we have seen many times in the past both second period meltdowns and the inability to beat certain teams. Some would consider it gambler's fallacy (such as seeing red come up 20 times on the roulette wheel), but because there is skill involved and not just straight chance, predictions based upon weight can be made. RPI winning last night and not having a second period meltdown was improbable, but not without possibility.

                      It shows the program's true colors. Any other opponent, he'd be gone for at least the year. Granted, based upon contracts, I assume that the college would have to buy out part of his contract, and then pay a coach on top of that.

                        Whatever you say, the way you run your uninformed mouth on here you were probably disappointed he didn't get more shots in at Appert.

                          He'll get more from the league/NCAA. You can't punch an opposing player and try to attack a coach without sitting at least 10.

                            Mark Morris was fired at Clarkson for a physical altercation with a player in a practice. This guy takes a swing at a student athlete and Union only gives him 2 games. Nice.

                              He didn't try to. He actually got shoves in.

                                Would you like one of those foam rings to sit on? I hear it helps against butthurt.
