Here's an idea: Now that the suspensions have been handed out, let's go back to talking college hockey. It's been nice having the visitors in this thread, but I'm ready to focus on the remaining 10 regular season games Union has to play (and then hopefully a successful ECAC tournament followed by the National Tourney).

Nice try

Based upon your other posts and threads you are passionately involved in, such as this one below. You better get back to it immediately. Your neighbor just found your food stamps in his box.

Our street number is directly above our mailbox in large brass numerals. How hard is it to not put pieces with a different number into our box? Where are the pieces with our address on them being delivered?
We had a new mail person this summer...everybody's mail was offset by one. We got our neighbor's to our right, and our neighbors to the left got ours. Everyone has the numbers on the front of the house...


I JUST WENT BACK AND READ IT AGAIN. ARE YOU OK? IS THERE ANYTHING WE CAN DO FOR YOU.?? SOME CANNED HEAT MAYBE?

the guys on here 24/7 talking about his mail and soap operas and we are to take his perspective seriously?? sounds like the brother from bench warmers scared of the sun.

I should have asked him if he wants spf 30 or 35 for lunch

5 National titles, 20 Frozen Four appearances, 34 NCAA appearances, winning record against nearly every D1 school....buncha choke artists. :p

I think this incident will bring us closer together as a team and is a valuable learning experience for coaches and players. We have a deep team which will help with the losses of Bodie, Daniel, and Eli and also a great coaching staff behind Bennett.

I agree. Bennett is really happy to showcase his staff. I think he is as proud of them, as he is of the team. This is a great opportunity for them to step up. Another opportunity to overcome adversity.

Dope

League saw no problem with it and at the end of the day that's all that matters. If any of the powers that be actually thought he tries to strike Bubela than Bennett would've been gone. I'll patiently await your cliche Hagwell/Stewart/Schott conspiracy posts.

We have none of that.
We are the smallest school in DI hockey next to Colorado College, about 2300, You have 51,000+ and a lot of lakes to practice on.
We have a few banners in our barn but you probably have to reinforce your barn to handle all the weight of your banners. We have pigeons and sparrows and some bird droppings up there too.
Our trophy cases are largely empty and because RPI beat us for the Mayors cup this year, they wil stay empty.
We have one draft pick, you have 14
Our budget for hockey is very small
You have been at this a long time. We are still new at it.

It appears you have very little competiton that can play at your level. We have a lot and if we don't get focussed and show up to play, we are going to get killed. There are no easy wins in the ECAC. I would like to say "hope to see you in the playoff's" but the reallity is that even with our current record, if we don't concetrate on St. Lawrence and Clarkson, we will not make the playoffs .... so please excuse us. Time to get back to work.

Of all the posters in this thread, you think that I am the troll. Union did beat us, what the hell does that have to do with anything? Would have posted the same thing had we not played Union in the last decade. And I never called Union a dirty team or a dirty program. I said Bodie started this. How it started isn't relevant? So Archduke Franz Ferdinand's death isn't relevant to WWI then too. And I stand corrected... now one person not cheering for Union calls it 50/50. You're in the minority.

Remember, I'm a western fan and we don't care about EZAC teams.

So what if Bodie's cross check started it? If all the RPI players skated away, not one of them would have been suspended. Thus, it doesn't matter what started it. If a guy gets and instigator for starting a fight in the NHL, but in that fight the other guy gouges the eye of the instigator, guess what is going to happen? The facts are that there is plenty of blame on both sides...the RPI guys that came off the bench should have skated right back but instead they got into it and that's another cardinal sin. Even the dance at center ice with Bodie was more Bodie wrestling and the other guy throwing punches. Yes, Bennett's punishment could have been a lot worse and I think he is lucky. But your posts just seem like sour grapes because Union, that EZAC team that didn't even get into the NCAA finals last year with two more EZAC teams in it, mopped the ice with you guys. They are an excellent team and what happened is both out of character for them and RPI as well, but **** happens in big rivalries.

Obviously I hope we can find a way to beat Union this weekend. Unfortunately, I'll be suprised if we do. Except that game and when we play in Cap District, I wish Union every success and think they have earned that through playing well, with poise, consistently.

Valid points, well said.
 
Re: 2013-2014 Union Dutchmen - Can U Three Peat?

In the Mayors Cup Game RPI was awarded 79 PIM. Union, 62. If we go back to 11.16.2013, the previous game against RPI, RPI was awarded 94 PIM. That "Brawl" was started by Haggerty. Haggerty, 6'0" and 200 lbs, skated at full speed and deliberately tried to decapitate a 165 lbs Brodie, right at the end of the game. Brodie who was looking down at the ground, behind the net, got smashed into the wall. He retaliated. The full team brawl ensued and both were thrown out of the game along with several others. If I were Brodie, I would have been very leery of anyone coming near me at the end of the Mayors Cup game.

I'm a little disappointed in the actual Union and RPI fans, I figured you would still be throwing more vitriol towards each other....but then, I doubt anyone around here could out-stupid hokydad. :p

I'll be there if I can figure out how to spell your city's name when putting it in Mapquest

Both Schenectady and Albuquerque are often used as bar bets...I went to school in one city and my father was stationed in the Air Force in the other city, so I have known about both spellings for a while...

Thanks for your input...
