Flag Dude is a clown. Let's all ignore him and figure out how we take four points from SLU and Clarkson.

Now you're starting to get the hang of it.

Appert going onto the ice beckoning his players to return to the bench area, and then Bennett going out to give him a cheap shot isn't doing something to stop it? I'd say you're crying victim. You lost, take it like a man.

Dude.......if you watch the video closely, Appert goes out and says something to Luke Curadi. Curadi then proceeds to go give a Union player a shot. This is what set off Coach Bennett. It appears that Appert sent Curadi after someone, and Bennett took exception and went after him. I would like to ask Luke what Appert said to him.

I find it ironic that you continuously defend SA on the RPI thread, yet here you are attempting to degrade Coach Bennett. Are you sure this isn't the frustration that you've been feeling with SA finally coming out?? I interpret this as you wanting Coach Bennett behind RPI's bench!!

I did not degrade Mr. Bennett, I pointed out that he made a bad situation worse. I respect Seth and his class for diffusing the issue with he and Coach Bennett.

You're making the assumption that they were talking to each other. No one was near Appert when he was walking out there; he was trying to get his players back to the bench.

sending players onto the ice, taunting players and coaches a.d shoving a coach is really calming it down. no victims here and seths days at RPI are numbered. key comment was "trying" to get his players back on bench. players dont listen to him

Remember that the next time your son's team goes onto the ice to congratulate his goalie after a win.

We get it you have something against Seth and apparently AspyDad. Both teams and players did not show great class last night and that cant be denied at all. It was a sad moment in what has become a very heated and intense rivalry. Both schools will handle the situation as they see fit and will accept whatever punishments come down from the league or NCAA. End of story, no need for both fanbases to play the finger pointing and blame game. Move on and focus on the rest of the season.

Re: 2013-2014 Union Dutchmen - Can U Three Peat?

I am very proud of this Union Team and its coaching staff. They have always been magnanimus in their comments in victory and defeat. If you eliminate the RPI games, their PIM time is consistently in the bottom 10 of college hockey and this has always been true of Bennett teams. We all know he does not tolerate this stuff. The Dutchmen do not have the reputation, as some of the teams and players in the league, for brutish thuggery and cheap hits. Other teams rightfully do.

There is a chance we will see RPI again this year. Perhaps in round 2 of the ECAC playoffs. Perhaps for the best of three games in Schenectady. I really hope so. If they come about, those are games I would not want to miss.

From the RPI thread, from J.D. who I believe is a Boston College Faithful
"from an outsider's perspective, i see #22 from union start the whole thing with a vicious cross check to the throat of an rpi player as the game ends. pretty sad that he apparently couldn't handle losing to rpi for the first time in forever. what a baby. also pretty sad that meathead bennett apparently suffered a case of roid rage."

dutch? why would tbat post from a kid from BC have any merit?

A video from a distance does not show everything. taunting, yapping and a few years of self riteous arrogance, which is really ineptness came out

made a mistake. apologized and will take it like a man. years of class service means you gett punished but with support and loyalty.

Union is in great hands as the past years have shown and will so in the future. same cant be said for rpi. i called that 3 years ago

Re: 2013-2014 Union Dutchmen - Can U Three Peat?

Cross checking is considered a penalty in the NCAA, fighting is prohibited in the NCAA. In retaliation to Bodie’s penalty, Higgs threw the first punch and initiated the prohibited behavior under the NCAA. The rest escalated from there. How Higgs escaped the initial DQ list is beyond me. Enjoy your non-conference win RPI, see ya next year.

exactly
RPI has turned into the biggest collection of underachievers in college hockey led by the Sean Penn of college hockey, aka dead man walking

You are such a blind homer. I'm not sure what made up videos you're watching but the only ones claiming majority of fault lies on RPI are Union homers. Unbelievable. I can see why you are not considered a voice of the fanbase

Posted by ushockey on the game thread score updates:

I know it has been a long time since you could celebrate a win over Union, congratulations on the win, but try to be factual. First I was at the game, second the video clearly shows Matt Bodie, after time expires, standing at the point position when you see Zalewski start charging full speed towards Bodie. Even if you have never seen a hockey game before, this is not done after the games final whistle unless that player has something in mind other than shaking hands. It is true that Bodie put up his stick to protect himself but no fair minded person would call that an instigation when it was just a reaction to an unprovoked attack.

All hockey coaches know they have a responsibility to control their teams especially after the game is over. No responsible coach would send or allow their team to charge unto the ice when there is an altercation going on as the RPI team did. In fact Union players stayed on their own side of the ice until it was clear that the RPI team was assaulting the Union line that was there. They then went into the melee to protect their players from this mismatch. In the video you will clearly see many Union players trying to separate their teammates from some RPI players who were attempting to draw them into fights. Anyone who has watched Union hockey with a critical eye will be aware of coach Bennett's requirement that his players play in a disciplined manner. Players who don't play in that manner are no longer in the lineup the next game. Matt Bodie has shown tremendous growth in his years at Union both as a hockey player and as leader. To accuse him of instigating is either ignorance of facts or a bald lie.

Coach Bennett is an outstanding coach who made a mistake becoming outraged by the RPI teams lack of discipline and thuggishness. He probably assumed this behavior leads back to their coach.

So teams can't go on the ice to congratulate goalies on a good win anymore?

This is the stupidest thing I've read in ages. Thanks for giving me a source to avoid in the future...

i agree. and in rpi's case they cant say, act like you have been thede before

union moves on and continues to be a top program led by a class coach, rpi the exact opposite

Re: 2013-2014 Union Dutchmen - Can U Three Peat?

led by a class coach

Not for the upcoming weekend at least. Ken Schott reported an internal two game suspension. Saw it on Facebook so I can't link.
