Re: Adrian College Gripefest
You know its really funny to me how you show that RIT beat Adrian. Ok yeah they did so what? Did you ever think of the league they are in? A bull**** one at that. put them in a real conference and then start talking. Not saying Adrian had a tough conference but I would love to see RIT play RF and see how they do? i would say tie or loss! And beside the fact they should not be D3 they should be D1, but thats right they would probably get their butts kicked! Why don't you go hide in a hole until you know what you are talking about! keep running your mouth buddy and we will see what happens next year!!!!! keep talking on the posts tough guy because you know 1 on 1 Adrian is a hell of alot more talented!!!

Re: Adrian College Gripefest
Please read slowly to see if you can follow along crazyfan. It might be tough at first, but if you're having trouble just start again.
The most logical way of comparing teams is head to head.
The ECAC West is a BS league? Here's Adrians record against the ECACW:
W/L record vs Opponent.
2010-11 Season
1-0 vs Cortland
1-1 vs Oswego
0-3 vs RIT
2009-10 Season
0-2 vs Neumann
0-2 vs Utica
1-0 vs Chatham
0-2 vs RIT
Tie vs Potsdam
2008-09 Season
2-0 vs Buffalo St
1-0 vs Chatham
2007-08 Season
2-0 vs Chatham
1-1 vs Neumann
1-1 vs Utica
0-1-1 vs Buffalo St.
Overall record vs BS League 10-13-2
Of those 10 wins, 7 are against Chatham (4), Cortland (1), Buffalo St (2).
They finished this year with a combined record of 13-50-4.
Be happy with the league you're in. If you were playing in this league you wouldn't finish higher than 6th place.
Now re-read this post and tell me again that Adrian is more talented than RIT. See you next year.

Re: Adrian College Gripefest
Take a look at how the western teams have faired when playing the eastern teams in the NCAA Tournament and then maybe you'll reconsider your position.
In the 10 years the NCAA has sponsored a D-III national championship, a western team has only played in the finals once. Stevens Point in 2004.

I still think RIT would beat RF by 5 goals and win that conference. Actually, I think that would be the same for Platt and Elmira.

Re: Adrian College Gripefest
double ugh.
Last year's Elmira...no way. Do I think RIT would have beaten River Falls, yes. By 5 goals..no way. Platty...would have tied or beaten/lost by a goal. Elmira would have lost by 2 or 3.
The greatest thing...last year is over and doesn't really matter going forward.

Re: Adrian College Gripefest
I would not go so far to say that Adrian had better talent then RIT however you saw them play. Did you see any sign of an organised breakout,powerplay,PK,regroup, neutralzone coverage, d zone or Offensive zone. There is no way they stood a chance against the top teams without a plan. That being said there was a reason they beat River Falls that is sheer talent RF has been a team that was well coached but lacking in speed. They have picked up some players that are raising that speed and will be stronger each year if the trend continues. However there is no doubt in my mind that they would have done much better against RIT then Adrian did, they play like a team and are smart in all three zones as well as special teams. As far as Adrian goes it is hard to say what is going to happen on any given day. I think that is what most people are trying to say. The team is capable of being good but loses games they should not. The reason that most that follow the program believe is behind this is poor coaching and if you had watched the games over the years you would see this. I think a large portion of the trouble they have with teams from the east have to deal with speed. When Adrian plays out west they are faster then most teams they play. And this is just my opinion but the teams from the east seem to skate faster. When you go into a game with no plan and are faster it is not so bad but when you go into a game with no plan and the other team is almost as fast or faster you are in for a long night. I have seen most of the games you have listed and believe that to be the case what I struggle with is that all these people that have not been able to see the total lack of coaching that Adrian has had. I just can not understand how people that have been around the game can see so little. By the way if you notice they got progressively worse each year. Year 1 was all another coaches team. Games were in the begining of the season. Coach had very little influence. Year 2 got a bit worse. Year 3 was awful. Can you see a pattern.

Re: Adrian College Gripefest
It's tough to make these assumptions unless the two teams actually played, which none of the teams we are talking about actually did.
River Falls was no doubt a very good hockey team last year that fluttered out at the end of the season after an impressive regular season.
However, losing to Adrian and then getting smoked by Gustavus Adolphus did them no favors in the comparison department, especially when RIT wiped the floor with Adrian in the NCAA's and the second regular season matchup they played against each other.
Facts are facts that when the chips are on the line (NCAA Tournament), the top eastern teams have beaten the top western teams a majority of the time.
Talk to the coaches. I have, and most will say that the top Eastern teams are at different level than the top Western teams because of depth.

Re: Adrian College Gripefest
here is an idea. I want you to read very slowly and understand that Adrian is a fourth year program. How long has RIT been around? A lot longer I bet! You take a look at the talent that Adrian had the past two years compared to the first two. The talent has expanded enormously! Give me a break you really think that Adrian wouldn't finish any higher than 6th. BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, whew that was a good one thanks for the laugh. I will see you next year you ********** idiot! Do everyone a favor and take a hike!!!!!

Re: Adrian College Gripefest
I totally agree the Eastern teams have a lot more depth! But I think one on one it would be a close call!

Re: Adrian College Gripefest
Remember, Norwich was fourth year program, too and progressed a lot faster than Adrian did.
