RPI had nothing to lose with this fight, they will not sniff the NCAA tourney, Union had everything to lose. If RPI fans think Union started this brawl, you are delusional. Rick Bennett runs a very disciplined program. I liked when two RPI goons went after Ghost. "2 minutes for sucking" "(insert any opposing player name) sucks" stay classy RPI and enjoy watching us in the NCAA Tourney!

Exactly. Don't be surprised if Knowlton does 't get involved. I know for a fact he was watching one RPI player in particular as he is sick of his act.

Given the number of times that future broad street bully has dove, he probably deserved it. As for 2 minutes for sucking, we've been doing that for decades, and to all teams, not just you. And what would RPI have to gain from starting a fight? Bodie threw the first punch. Quit being a whining baby.

I bet the president of Union who was there tonight was real proud of his hockey coach :eek::rolleyes::p;):D

Well Bennett has apologized, so doesn't that mean he did something?

I don't think all of the facts will ever come out. They don't ever. I do however agree that one should wait and I was careful about not going into any details.

As far as I know, two players from each team have been given suspensions.


Because he is a class act and is accountable. Right, wrong or somewhere in the middle that is what you would expect from a coach like him.

Good win for RPI though.

I just watched highlights on local news. The game ended in RPIs end and their bench cleared most likely in celebration. Both teams started to mix it up immediately the problem being Union players were badly outnumbered when the hostilities got in gear.

Really? I'd argue Brook Hicks. What was he doing near the blue line with Bodie anyways? Shouldn't he be near the net celebrating with his goalie?

We don't have anyone on our team by that name. And you play to the whistle. I'd think after getting goals scored on you at 59:59 twice in consecutive years, you'd have learned that by now.

RPI won the faceoff and the puck went into the corner. Brock Higgs should have retreated down low or played conservatively, but no, with 1.7 seconds left he charges towards Bodie near the blue line. The cross-check was not ok, but Higgs shouldn't have been up in Bodie's grill.

He was skating forward to block a possible shot should Union have won the faceoff and got the puck to Bodie. I didn't know you weren't allowed to get yourself into position to block a shot. Once he saw the puck went tot he corner, he eased up, and that's when Bodie cross-checked him to the head. Or do you understand zilch about player positioning for quick shots?

If anyone understands zilch about hockey it's you. Go back to running your Starcraft league from your mom's basement.

Bodie starts it with the hit to Higgs but it really gets out of control when RPI has 10 guys on the ice compared to our six. Neither teams look good but there's no way you can blame Union for this without putting equal blame on RPI. At one point there were three RPI guys going against Ghostisbehere all the way across the ice from the scrum. Neither team comes out smelling like roses and anyone who thinks any different is strongly misguided.

They go off the ice to celebrate the win, something I recall your players doing at the game at HFH, and your players start the pushing and shoving. I'd say you were the scumbags in that game. Our purpose was not to go and pick fights, you only want to spin it that way to pump yourselves up. Take the loss like a man.

And for the record, I don't even live in the same area code as my mother. **** off, *** clown.

%100 agree here with 1 exception....the reason for so many RPI players was it was in front of their bench and they were coming over the boards to celebrate. It's a shame this game ended the way it did because, getting back to hockey, it was a great hockey game.

RPI has a track record of crap like this and it starts with the coach. Look at the game in Troy and tell me who starts the crap at the end of that game. Look at last year's game in Schenectady where that no talent ******** Curadi takes a run at Ghost and then your captain runs one of our from guys behind. Look at the playoff series two years ago when Curadi goes to our celebration to throw down.

As for taking the loss, sure RPI was the better team tonight but in the grand scheme of things this is not even a bump in the road. I'll gladly give you guys this game tonight when we're in the NCAA's in March and you're on the USCHO chat throwing around lame #26 rants and talking about how awful Union is.
 
Re: 2013-2014 Union Dutchmen - Can U Three Peat?

Was wondering why Ken Schott did not ask Rick Bennett if he thought he might get suspended like he asked Seth at Union several years ago?

That broad street bully dove, laid on the ice to milk it, didn't miss a shift, and you know it. And I wouldn't be too sure you don't completely blow February after your coach gets fired for going after Appert.

Yes because with 1.7 seconds and the puck in the corner Bodie is going to get a shot off. :rolleyes: The only way Union scores in 1.7 seconds is if Vech shoots the puck right as it is dropped. I agree the cross-check was dirty and it should have been penalized. Unfortunately for RPI, Higgs retaliated and threw the first punch at Bodie.
