At least we have finally added a little controversy to the thread-it was getting kind of stale here.

I prefer staleness to this nonsense.

One question for thetruthhurts.

What is your allegiance hockeywise? You don't seem to be a fan of one of RPI's rivals or an RPI fan who is fed up with the team or the coach.

Just a fan of hockey, no real allegiance to one particular team, though there are several I'm follow very closely, for personal reasons.

Appert is a good coach, RPI is a good school and they have a promising team, hence the attraction

Thanks for the answer. (That answer didn't hurt, so it can't be the truth. )

Your turn.

I have seen Reno play several games over the last three years (in person), elite league, MSHSL, advance 16, 17 and USHL.

This year alone, 6 elite league games, 3 NIT, 7 high school, 1 USHL

Next question...

And what is your opinion as to his strengths and weaknesses?

Re: RPI Recruit Thread 2012-13 (Part III)

Just what do you think is his primary strength?

...wait, what? You've seen him play 17 times this year alone & you come on this thread and ask what Ralph thinks his strengths are? Why didn't you just tell us your opinion before getting into all the verbal sparring.

I'll assume the negative case on this one with a belief that offence is the strength. If that were the case, I'm not sure why he wouldn't be playing forward.

Excellent analysis. The fact that he has seen him play at all of these places makes we wonder if thetruthhurts has soon connection to Reno is a scout.

(Interestingly, I was interrupted while making this post by a phone call from an RPI student thanking me for my annual donation. I didn't catch the name.)

He did lead the Edina d-men in scoring.

Wasn't RKarger or I, I'm sure we would have noticed.

Re: RPI Recruit Thread 2012-13 (Part III)

Just wanted to stop by one more time and say how awesomely crazy committed you folks are with following RPI recruits. It's been fun exchanging emails with Robert this past season. Best of luck to Jake Wood, Riley Bourbonnais, Jimmy DeVito, and Parker Reno next season. We are going to miss them here in Lincoln next season. I still wish Parker would play a whole season here. Talented kid from the little I saw of him in person this season.

Hoping Michael Prapavessis makes the Stars in 2013-14, and I can contribute more to your recruit conversations.

Best of luck to the Engineers next season.

Did she say her name? The only person on the board I know I've called is RHamilton.

She did, but I didn't pay attention.
