We’d like to respond to the criticism directed at Bentley fans this past week. To begin, we’d like to apologize to anybody that’s been offended. Obviously, it’s not our intention to create an atmosphere that would make anybody uncomfortable. Our conduct regarding the Army players in the penalty box was unacceptable, and we assure you that it will never happen again. Running down to the glass to scream at the referee was raw emotion and was inappropriate. This being said, we have no control over every student at the game. We know there was a separate group of students who constantly yelled obscenities, something with which we disagree. Granted, we should have acted more respectfully as well. We want everyone to enjoy games at the JAR. After all, we’re rooting for the same team.
Again, we sincerely apologize for the actions of the students at last night’s game. We look forward to next week against Sacred Heart, and continuing our battle for an AHA Championship.
For our purposes,
Bentley needs 4 points to seal up a first round bye.
Mercyhurst has home and homes with Niagara and Bobby Mo their last two weekends. Air Force entertains a struggling RIT team in the Springs this weekend, and visits Niagara for two their last weekend. UConn plays home and homes with Army and Sacred Heart their last two weekends. If Mercyhurst picks up only five points, the Falcons could overtake them.
The biggest difference I've noticed this year is that they are winning (nearly) all the games they are supposed to win, and doing well against teams where losses are acceptable. In previous years, there seemed to be little correlation between where their opponent stood in the standings, and the final score. Beat Air Force, lose to AIC. With a few exceptions, they are winning the winnable games.
I hearby withdraw this observation.
Huge missed opportunity for Falcons to gain a point on the Lakers.
Seriously guys....do you really think this was the collapse you all have been waiting for? Look Komm didn't have his best weekend why else did the coach pull him? The team is depleted and certainly don't have all of their players, in fact they were short a player. So just chill they need one win or 2 points to get the first round bye. .........Let's hope some people rejoin the team next week and they can pick up at least one win. It is senior night next Friday so maybe they will play with some energy. I hope you can dial it back just a bit as a collapse well I think not!
Hey, wwjg, you are right, of course. In fact, all the Falcons need is 1 point next weekend to keep their bye and home ice, as they hold the tie breaker over UConn should the Huskies sweep next weekend. More important to get healthy over the next two weeks.
When was the last time that Bentley got swept by Sacred Heart in the regular season? A bye and home ice could go down the drain. Gotta relearn how to score goals 5 on 5.
Are you sure about that?
Looks like UConn,AF and RMU could go ahead into 2,3 and 4th if Bentley were to take only one point, 3 points for UConn and Af and 4 for RMU would put Bentley in 5th. May be unlikely but not impossible. Bentley would need at least 2 to keep RM out of top 4.
