      1. Whether or not he's trying to pass himself off as an expert (for the record, he's not), he likely has a bit more expertise about DIII Hockey than you. He was, until this year, the DIII Women's Hockey Columnist for USCHO, and he is currently the Sports Information Director of Norwich University. So, when he does present himself as an expert on a subject related to DIII hockey, he is doing so based on his actual experience in the field.

      2. 13,600 posts over a VERY long period of time... a little over 8 years, to be precise. That averages out to be about 1,700 posts per year. As a matter of fact, if you include his previous accounts (his changing of accounts was based on legitimate reasons, and he made no effort to hide it), he has 29,072 posts over a period of 13 years, for an average of 2,236 posts per year or 6.12 posts per day. And that is ignoring his participation in the old pre-USCHO D3 Boards prior to 2000.

      However, if you take into account the fact that about half of those were weekly posts in many different "Pick 'Em" Competitions, "Last Person Standing" Contests, the "Tournament of Posters" we used to host in the offseason, and other such things we used to do as a community that did not actually involve discussion, these numbers are far from excessive.

      3. When did he insult western hockey? I am from the East region, and I support an East Region team, but I'm not blind to the fact that the West has dominated the NCAA Tournament in recent history, Adrian embarrassed a really good Geneseo team last night, and the West is full of really good hockey teams. Derek knows that, too.

        If I had a vote in a poll id have Eau Claire 1 and St. Norbert 2 with Adrian and Stevens Point all in the top 6 or 7 as well.

          To paraphrase Irwin R. Fletcher: Oh great! It's.....another know-it-all 20something poster. So 29,000 posts over 13 years. Being generous there's about 20 weeks of hockey action and probably 50 dates of game action. Giving each date of action its own post that's 650 pickems and 260 posts for last man standing. That still leaves about 28,000 posts unaccounted for. I'd suggest you call the Siena bursar's office and ask for your money back. PUHLEEZE don't try and say you eastern posters don't look down at the west. The tango has been going on in here from day one especially in March. I could go back and look up some posts from back then but I've already spent plenty of time pulling back the curtain as it is.

            I just don't understand where all this anger came from. It seems like it was a fairly harmless post from the onset about Concordia's recruiting class looking good on paper.

              Does this game not mean as much because its a non con game?
              It still means a lot for power in the West.
              Think of what this game would mean if the WIAC didn't put their tails where their manhood should be and run.
              Nevertheless, should be a great one to watch Friday.
              fridays game should be a barn burner,would love to watch but oswego has genny that night,Im sure il ctch a few shifts,yes were is the chatter/ trash talk/posting

                Don't despair CCM.
                Sir Nubs can be sort of a nuisance, but is harmeless nonetheless.
                Just looking....or trolling for someone to play with, attempting to liven things up in this relatively dormant Forum.
                You can engage Nubbsy in discussion and enjoy the ride, or return to the more amicable eastern threads.

                  I will say that the home team will win both games, but hoping for a SNC Sweep!!
                  I agree with everything you said. One goal game nailbiters.
                  Its a shame this is taking place on the eve of the start of gun hunt. Looks like quite a few die hards won't be there.
                  The student section better not be sitting on their hands as I expect a lot of fans to make the trip from EC.
                  The Marian home game a few weeks back had 10 Sabre students make the trip up and they destroyed our student section. That can't happen anymore.

                      I do agree with Nubs on principal but I don't share his vitriol for Eastern posters. In D3 hockey, there aren't exactly alot of opportunities for crossover games (East vs West) so no one can say for sure which region is strongest. But I have sensed quite a bit of arrogance from people (mostly from New York) that think Eastern D3 hockey is much better, which couldn't be further from the truth aside from a few NCHA teams. I don't think I'm crazy when I say with conviction that the better hockey is being played out West these days. (note - I said 'these' days) D3 has expanded quite a bit and given more kids in the mid-west an incentive to keep playing competitively. Adrian was kind of the string that tied the knot as others have followed. With the exception of Plattsburgh, Oswego, and Utica, I think the East is considerably weaker than the West team for team

                          I always call it the midwest. I just barely live in the West. The only DIII school that plays hockey out here, actually plays DI hockey...

                          Besides that, Sir Nubs left out two of the historically best DIII programs from the East (NU and Midd).

                              Lawrence works hard but they are awful. That win against SNC said more about how badly the Knights crapped the bed then anything about Lawrence.
