Many years ago i was stationed at the War College in Carlisle. As a Lt. Colonel in the Medical Corps I had some decent rank and privilege in the service (or at least I had thought so). Then i arrived at Carlisle and promptly saw that I was about the lowest ranking officer there. I never saw so many stars!! But as a physician, rank really matters vry little and you are like a separate entity and not really considered in the same category as the 'real Army'. I am sure things have changed some over the years but I found the area to be one of the most pleasant i have ever seen in the US and loved my time there.

Today is 19 March 2022. There are 196 days (28 weeks) until RPI's next game. There are 104 days until RPI has a new president.
This is based upon 1 October 2022 for the start of next season and 1 July 2022 for the end of @#$%^.

Although we commented negatively on occasion about Kyle Hallbauer, it's good to know that he will back next season. I suspect that he will be step up. With Johnson, Baxter, and apparently Helsen leaving on D, we need two or three replacements. One is apparently Max Smolinski. There is a chance that Kareem Al-Azem will show up in the fall so we won't lose them and because all reports indicate he had a great year at KUA. He could, however, benefit from a year in Maryland (NAHL) where he has signed or even in the USHL.

if we get the sophomore year Kyle Hallbauer I'll be thrilled. As for Al-Azem, Northeastern has two of the better defensemen in HE that both entered directly from prep school, including one from Kimball Union, so it still can be done but they were also 2nd and 3rd round draft picks. If the coaches think Al-Azem is ready then I'll defer to their judgment, but I don't think he's regarded as a talent on the order of surefire NHL picks.

** Graduate transfer was coming in right at the end of Seth's tenure. IIRC Drew Melanson was our first. Would he have stayed if Seth was retained? I doubt it. His RPI career had a downward trend and he was ready to go. I believe the coaching change was incidental to his plan but we may never be sure.
P.S. When the verb tense error changes the entire argument it is relevant, but your apology is accepted.
