Thank God for Turk..he's the only one that likes me on the board, that includes my brother.

I did not read that as meaning he likes you-just that he agrees with you.

thought Doc. might find this interesting regarding concussions. I was told about this by one of our posters....http://www.usahockeymagazine.com/art...09/wave-future This is just one of many sites addressing this "new" treatment.

Turk-not totally new but another of the techniques to get players bigger and stronger or repaired more quickly. In sports, time is of the essence and anything and everything is being tried to get results faster. After my shoulder surgery in 2006 I was hooked up to something very similar to the ARP machine. I can attest that 30 minutes using these electronic stimulators is like exercising for 24 hours or more-I felt completely wasted. I think the book hasn't been written as yet as to the long term effects of this rapid stimulation. In the short run, there is probably no question it helps get muscle injuries back in shape more quickly and can build strength faster than traditional methods. What is not so clear is the effects down the road of this rapid build up or repair. Sometimes we do not find out about the untoward effects for some time. I try to keep abreast of all the newer medical treatments since i am still only semi retired and do a lot of consultation work-but I am also an old time medical conservative and believe strongly in RICE for most injuries (Rest, Ice, Compression and Elevation) and other than to get an athlete back into the game in record time-I believe in giving injuries a proper time frame to heal. Just my medical 2¢

Given RIT seemed to control play in most of the 3rd, I would disagree with that sentiment. If they showed disinterest at any time, it would have been towards the beginning of the game. Maybe we were just playing Prevent D and trying to preserve the shutout, hence why I could have been fooled, but I don't think so, given between about 17 and 19 minutes, we were playing in their zone preventing the goalie from being pulled.

What the hell game were you watching?

In case anyone was wondering, it has been 440:04 since we have scored an even strength goal. During that time we've had 1 shorty and 5 PPGs. I know we said that we needed work on the power play, but I don't think we had THIS in mind.

I realize that it was sold out. I just meant that students typically make more noise than townies.

You got something against townies Ralph

Maybe it is a dietary thing-like eating more nachos and beans?

I didn't do anything, and I am not sure what you mean.

Obviously an ineffectuve attempt at teasing on my part...

Absolutely not, however it has been said here many times that the southside of the HFH is typically quiet.

I agree with FD...RIT brought all they had...it just wasn't enough. There are nuances to each game, and ebb and flow. As Turk said, it was an engaging game with no air leaving the building at any point.I might go so far as to say this was RPI's best effort to date AND RIT brought it out of us...
