Hokydad - your memory is excellent. Since ColSkate65 made his feelings known, in a polite and respectable way, about our coach, Colgate has
Lost to Brown
Lost to Yale
Beat Cornell
Tied RPI
Tied Union
1-2-2

PIM thus far in the ECAC
This is another reason why we should be proud of this team and its coach. The Dutchmen are near the bottom of the ECAC in AV. PIM/game.

I wrote this back on October 20th, right after we dropped a pair to Lake Superior. We were then 1-2-1 ... Collins was out with a concussion after the first period of the first game against Bowling Green.
Re: 2013-2014 Union Dutchmen - Can U Three Peat?
"This is going to be a wild and exciting UNION College hockey season. This team has more offensive firepower than any UNION team I can remember. Explosive !!! The coaches are going to fix the defense. I don't know how, but they are going to fix it. Bennett is a great coach and that last press conference proved it again. I really like this team. I get a sense of a lot of leadership on this team. Players demanding a lot from themselves and from other players. There is an "acid in the gut" feel to this team. They know their lineage and have great expectations for themselves. The NCAA playoffs three years in a row. .... I really like the Captain Bodie and the other team alernate captains. It is a team effort. There are a lot of "intangibles" that seem right about this team. We all know where we would be right now if we had the goal tending we have been used to these past three years combined with this explosive offense, but **** happens. I do not have a crystal ball and don't know how things will end up this year but I just have a really good feeling. I keep thinking of the term "Guts". Next stop, Connecticut and then the ECAC and Dartmouth and Harvard. I am proud of this team already. These last three years have been a wild ride and this season will be no different"
I still don't know where things will end up but nothing can diminish for me what this team has already accomplished and the way they have gone about it.
Go Dutchmen !!!!!

Let me speak Hoky for a second...
i dont know anything about what the phrase 'statitically insignificant' means, particularly due to fact that union starting and/or participating brawls with rpi every time they play them skews numbers upward.and the fact that there have been a bunch of bs calls on rpi like the mutiple nonsense 5 minute majors on rpi when they played colgate at home
also ignoring the fact that my coach decided to go bonkers on appert for no reason and got off easy
I respect a lot of Union fans but you sure aren't helping represent your fanbase at the moment. Particularly with your really out-there and far-reaching comparison to Eddie Haskell. That being said, we definitely have a player or two who I will not name who could definitely cool it with the dumb penalties. How many ECAC points did both of the Capital Region teams leave Hamilton and Ithaca with this past weekend?

one team is in first place(again) another is in 8th(as usual). weekend points is pretty meaningless.... he is eddie Haskell and is an avg ast at best, at best and only if at a good program with a solid hc telling him what to do
now go get the paper eddie...

You responded to my post with nothing of value, between this and the BC thread you are continuing to make the Union fanbase look really bad.

RPI is 3rd in the nation for most penalty minutes, which results in a lack of discipline, too many thugs, or a combination of both. To speculate Bennett went after Appert for no reason is laughable.

Re: 2013-2014 Union Dutchmen - Can U Three Peat? (Part II)
There are very few things anyone could have done or said that warrants attempted assault of someone in that setting. To speculate Bennett had a good reason to go after Appert and in the process punch an opposing student-athlete in the face and then brush it off as "only an accident so it doesn't matter" is even more laughable.
If anything, the first one in your list of proposals is probably accurate, as we have two or three key players (who you can look up for yourself, one being a freshman) that take too many dumb penalties, and one key player who gets called for being too big in the refs eyes, and a bunch of others because the ECAC hates RPI (cue the "delusional fan" quips
)
Speaking of too many thugs, how's your captain doing these days? I also heard your Hobey Baker candidate threw a broken stick at an opposing player to stop a scoring chance. What'd he get penalty-wise for that? Sorry for the vitriol/over-frankness, but sometimes it's necessary to get the point across.
Even funnier, take the delta across the most penalized team to the #10 most penalized team: 2.69 PIM average. That's a whopping less than 1.5 minor penalties per game extra. We're not talking a difference of an extra six or seven man-down situations per game, here. The delta between RPI and Union? 4.3. Again, on the average, about 2 minor penalties per game extra. That's really not a whole world of difference, which is why I think the average PIM per game statistic is a bunch of horsehockey.
Union is a talented team and I offer my congratulations to them on a good string of recent seasons regardless.

Our captain's doing great. He's having another All-American caliber season, which is something that everyone on RPI's current defense corps could only have a wet dream about.
The Ghost throwing his stick incident was one delusional Colgate fan's take on a completely harmless play. The way he described it you would've thought Ghostisbehere tried to stab the Colgate player in the throat with his broken stick. It was one of the most hilarious posts I've ever seen on here, and I don't think even FlagDude would've been able to dream up something so much further from the actual reality of what happened. Ghost's stick broke when he fanned on a clearing attempt, he slid the broken stick away to avoid getting a penalty for playing with a broken stick. Stick never touched the puck or happened to get anywhere near to any of Colgate's players on the ice.

Re: 2013-2014 Union Dutchmen - Can U Three Peat? (Part II)
It seems to me that the straight mean isn't the best statistic to use here. Perhaps the median or just the total number of penalties. That would take outliers (like the Mayors' Cup) out of the picture. I doubt either other measure makes RPI look like a team of Lady Byng wannabes though.
