Re: RPI Recruit Thread 2012-13

As a kid growing up-I got the best advice from my mom. She had been a professional athlete back in the 30's and 40's when most women just did not do that sort of thing. She told me when threatened with a fight-just walk or skate away. But if you can't-then just make sure you land the first punch. Don't stand there and posture or threaten-just throw(and hopefully land) the first punch...

Totally agree with mom's approach. I'm a very patient man and have a very long fuse, but in the few times in my life when I have reached the end of my rope and gotten into physical altercations (usually teeing off on wanna-be bullies) bystanders have told me that my "eruptions" were swift and decisive. Haaa..

I would think that he would know the rule, but considering how many people think that a Game Misconduct results in an NCAA suspension, he may not. I would think that if a Fighting penalty alone would warrant a suspension in the USHL, one would see more multiple roughing penalties, and certainly DeVito had many fighting penalties last year without suspension.

I think you're right RB. The USHL is a fighting league, so unless someone leaves the bench or instigates, I'
ve got to think he'll be in the lineup.

A couple of posts about that fight http://finishyourcheck.com/topic/669...s/page__st__40. Nothing really enlightning.

I don't know the USHL rules but note that some players received Game Misconducts (e.g., Melanson) and some Game Ejections along with the fighting penalties. Ejection sounds more serious.

It wouldn't surprise me if "Game Ejection" were the same thing as college's "Game Disqualification" or the IIHF's "Match Penalty".

Sheldon Dries was the GB player who received the Fighting Game Ejection yesterday vs Omaha....he's in the lineup for Gb in today's game.

That seems to settle it.

On Friday, in a preseason game, the Cedar Rapids Roughriders defeated the Tri-City Storm 3-0. Riley Bourbonnais scored an ENG. He led the team with 4 SOGs. http://ushl2011.stats.pointstreak.co...gameid=2010071

Bourbonnais' preseason line is now 5-1-2-3-2.



Edit: Next weekend their season starts.

even though it was an ENG it still had to feel good with SA in attendance.

Wouldn't you just love to see us scoring a bunch of ENGs this coming year? That has not exactly been a great statistic for us the past few years.

How many times did we have the opportunity last year? Not too many, I don't think.

I took it to mean, wouldn't it be nice to be in a position to have the oppurtunities for the ENG's.

Melanson has a one game suspension. Pure speed, hands and eyes in the back of his head.

You took it exactly as it was meant. No need to read between the lines.

That's what we got to see here in NJ the past few years. Fast, quick, smooth-an almost effortless skater.

So FD08 and I both had that wrong. Thanks for the info including the assessment.
