Interesting quote from Coach Appert from the Watertown paper - http://www.watertowndailytimes.com/a...TS03/703059914 .

�By no means are we perfect,� RPI coach Seth Appert said. �Just look at how hyper we played down the stretch and the penalties we took. We like to make things difficult on ourselves. Just when this team becomes a team that you can start falling in love with, they make you despise them a little bit with some of the penalties that we take, unnecessarily."

Actually, I had asked Ken on his facebook about Stewie going up to the press box, and I guess PS didn't return the greeting that KS had extended. Sounds like there's still a bit of a grudge there.

I have had my high profile dust ups with Ken but for Paul Stewart to give him the snub is unprofessional (I think I stopped this practice in third grade). However, Ken gives alot of ink to ECAC hockey and besides Ed Weaver stellar coverage does a youmens job covering all things ECAC hockey. Question - besides Fat Mike (and the cocktail waitresses at the airports), is there anybody Paul Stewart likes?

I was in Hershey last night, watching the Bears play Springfield, the team for which I had hoped Allen York might be playing.

I didn't get to follow the RPI-Clarkson game while it was actually in progress, but thoroughly enjoyed tracking the game retroactively on the scores thread. Thanks to everybody who contributed their posts.

Unfortunately, if the superstitious among us would like me to go to another Hershey game this weekend while RPI is in action against Union, the Bears will be on the road at St. John's, so you're going to have to send me to Newfoundland.

This link may have been posted since the information was supplied to the TU blogger by lugnut, but I don't recall seeing it earlier. (I am referring to the blog entry, not the Clarkson handouts which were mentioned.)

Bailen is perhaps one of the greatest offensive threats (as a defenseman) that we have had in Troy. He has had some rather odd moments playing defensive hockey though this year. It was great to see him put it together though these past 5 games. Add to that the fact that the freshmen are all contributing and providing offense (i sure hope Schroeder isn't hurt bad enough to have to sit out this weekend), we are not the same team that we were for the first 75% of the season. I still do not think we match up well against Union-their style of play or their personnel (perhaps the only ECAC team that we don't) and it will take some real strategy and preparation by our coaching staff to deal with them. This weekend we will have our toughest test-if we can get through it-anything we have to face in AC would be easier to deal with.

Doc, the last five games have stood out because of the opposition, but we have been building this since Jan. 1.
I like the fact that we scored some goals this weekend.
This team has a lot of heart, but a little shy on brains. Those penalties at the end of the game last night were totally unnecessary. Playing with a two goal lead late in the third period is not the time to get stupid.
If they do that against Union, we will pay dearly.
This is a good team, getting better every game. I look for a good series against Union.

Complete opposite season from what we all witnessed last year. The team has peaked at the right time and for whatever reason, plays a much more disciplined style of hockey on the road. This upcoming weekend RPI has nothing to lose and as much as I am not expecting this team to finish out an improbable run through AC into the NCAA's, all I want to see this weekend is a team that competes throughout this 2 or 3 game series. That hasn't happened the 3 games they played against Union this year. I was really routing for Brown or Princeton last night beacuse even having to go to Lynah and the crap that goes along with playing there, I would of liked RPI's chances much more against Cornell, plus I would like to see both of these teams in the semis at the same time.

I had a friend, who reads lips, watch the video. This is what he interpreted; Casey Jones..."hey Bergin, gotta minute".....Bergin....yeah, 1 MINUTE AND CLARKSON STILL SUCKS"

Now that is funny (true, but funny). Thanks for the laugh.

Oh good, a nice square number. Divide by 13 if you don't understand.

Have to say this-you posted the absolute best pun of all.

Re: RPI 2011-12 Part VI: Sweet Meteor of Death

I had the same thought about Bergin. Also Bailen seems to have gotten back into his form of last season on offense.

Bailen is perhaps one of the greatest offensive threats (as a defenseman) that we have had in Troy. He has had some rather odd moments playing defensive hockey though this year. It was great to see him put it together though these past 5 games.

I guess Jones had words with Bergin after the game. Nice way to keep your head... coach. If this is the case, I applaud Mr. Hagwell for overruling Mr Stewart. It gives me no pleasure to say this but Mr. Stewart has out worn his welcome. His unprofessionalism and bias unforunately filters down to his officials. I'm sure Mr. Stewart has a nice pension and might want to get some sun.

Actually, I had asked Ken on his facebook about Stewie going up to the press box, and I guess PS didn't return the greeting that KS had extended. Sounds like there's still a bit of a grudge there.
