      I challenge anyone to come up with a coach RPI has had in the last 30 years that was worse than Appert, and a legitimate reason why.

        If you want to look in terms of Freakout, Buddy Powers.

          Which coach has the best Freakout record?
          I've been lost since 1989. I got a breakaway on a frozen river and have been skating ever since.

            Fridgen, who went undefeated.

                Twelve, actually. And there may have been a tie or two in there.

                  My mistake. You are correct at 12! Still impressive!!

                    Perhaps I should have put the word legitimate in bold or something.

                      Every coach has their pros and cons. The trick is to decide what is the most important to the school and act accordingly.

                          I thought it was a mistake to fire Fridgen. Is Appert in danger? I would think so...along with Donato. I hope Prier has another year...and Pecknold gets fired just because!
                          9/11/01 - Stewie & Pelch, you are missed by the SLU Family.
                          1962, 1988, 1989, 1992, 2000, 2001, we want More!!!

                            I expect we will hear all the cliches again. All the reasons that a team we should have handled easily wanted it more, played harder, came to win, etc. I have followed RPI hockey for 50 years. I am still hopeful that before I call it quits, i will once again see a nationally prominent team at RPI. I am personally in not the best frame of mind right now-from things outside of hockey-but I must say, enough is enough is enough. We have wasted chances with good teams and even finer boys who are superb players. I have a lot of questions but one that bothers me a lot. We recruit wonderful boys to play at RPI. At least someone thinks they are good enough to sign years ahead of time. They come to RPI with hopes and dreams-and they are not fresh faced 17 year olds-they have spent extra years honing their skills in places like the USHL against other tough competition and are often several years older. And they come to Troy-and they get very little chance to play that first year. How many freshmen suited up for this entire weekend? Could they have performed any worse? Are they not good enough to play or are they too young to play? I see younger kids playing NHL and AHL level hockey. Sports are never static-even the best dynasties had to make changes to stay on top. Just my very depressed 2¢ right now. My upset over RPI hockey will abate-it always has. But with other things that have happened, I cannot see any silver lining right now.

                              Well written Doc. I couldn't have said it better myself. Maybe a better title for this thread would be: too many questions, not enough answers.
