I'll blame it on a thick skull, an enormous sense of entitlement, and hypoxia from the lack of oxygen way up there around the top of his pedestal.

Ditto.

Re: Brown - Oops! They did it again.

Hey 5-4, answer post #311. There's a huge opening there.

Ya I saw it. But I've also read this guys/girls great long disertations on previous posts and I just can't bring myself to nailing him/her into the boards. Too easy and I got respect for the game so in this case I'm going to hold up...It's the right thing to do and if he/she doesn't get what I'm talking about nothing I can say or do is going to help.

Locker room...Sheesh...this isn't a swim meet.

If your reading comprehension was anywhere near your grammar critiquing skills you might actually realize that the situation with Brown is not anything like the situation with the Edmonton Oilers. I understand you think we’re being obnoxious fans who are sticking our noses places where they don’t belong, but have you ever had the slightest belief that maybe something is actually wrong with the program?

Try to grasp the idea that this is college hockey and it’s over in four years. There’s no NHL for women, so after college it’s off to making a living. If you’re expecting people to wait another year and another before calling for Digit’s head, at least realize your just taking another year and another from a group of kids who deserve to be given some chance of success on the ice during their time at Brown. The graduating class this year hasn’t experienced one winning season in all their four years here. And now ending the season without a league win I’m suppose to believe she’s already turning the team around. I don’t buy it.

So if you’re not even somewhat informed about the situation at Brown, then I suggest you keep your opinions and cunning little comments to yourself. You might be Mr. Know It All when it comes to grammar, but on this topic your more like Mr. Doesn’t Know Sh…

And if you can’t grasp the concept of people using different terminology who live in different places, then you should probably get your head out of wherever it’s stuck right now.

I think he beat you to it. When I jumped in a while back I was basically admitting that my knowledge of the Brown situation was limited. It is clear though that player and coach bashing will not help. This is where you have it wrong. If you had to have success in that four years, maybe you should have chosen another school. This is a tough league, somebody has to lose, and it looks like fate found some of the right people.

I don't know about that, here's another little bit of information about brown.

If someone was to actually take the time to write a letter and send it to the AD then they would have zero results. You have a better chance of having it land in the hands of someone willing to do something by rolling it up into a bottle and tossing it into the ocean.

Conveniently for Digit, the AD Goldberger has had somewhat of a long relationship with her and also was appointed AD by a committee that Digit was on. So there’s some loyalty there already. But to make things even more impossible there’s a committee that overlooks the AD, and the chair is the one person who reports all problems or improvements within the athletic department to the VP of an advisory board that’s responsible for making any decision. Luckily Goldberger is the chair for the committee that overlooks Goldberger’s job as the AD. So if someone was going to write a letter you don’t have anyone to send it to. So why not post here and hope that maybe the right person might read this forum? Because there’s not really any other options.

Yes, someone has to lose. But every game though?

I can feel for you, losing all the time. Not fun. The brass though will not tolerate any sort of bashing, and will certainly not pay any attention to it if they are professional. I am sure of one thing, the brass will also think you have no idea what you are doing because there is no way you could have all the inside knowledge that they have. It is best to shut up, support, and wait patiently no matter how long it takes. Set an example.

If she goes, it is not because of you and the others.

I’ll first start off by saying in no way does Digit being fired affect me. My college hockey days are far past gone but that doesn’t prevent me from feeling bad for this group of girls. There are a lot of details that I do know about and I’m sure there are some that I don’t know. But unfortunately for you guys I don’t think it’s fair for everyone to just ignore that there is a problem that needs to be addressed. Digit showed that she rather be at a scholarship school or even coach the men’s team above her own. And that alone is tuff for a team to just get over. But she literally let the program fall so much that this season is the worst one they’ve ever had in the history of the program.
But still the list keeps going. They had to watch her cut valuable players just so she could prove a point. And she did, she makes decisions more for herself than for her team. They had to watch her hire an assistant coach whose motives for being at brown weren’t even hockey related. They had to listen to her preach good values when she’s actually the only one who lacks them. I know people think only negative things can come from posting this on a forum. But only negative things can come from pretending a problem doesn’t exist for what… another 20+ years?

What I will do is advise you that I know more than you give me credit for.

What I won't do is take any direction from the likes of you with respect to what I write on these boards.

Anyway.... I like succinct. Some people don't have to write an entire novel to get there point across...

In fact I'll leave you with one more as I fade to black on you...

I'm thinkin you were probably a 4th liner.

C ya!

I stand corrected...I now understand locker room is a commonly used term for dressing room in the U.S.A.

I regret my error and trust this will suffice as a retraction.

I'm sorry for any mental anguish this misunderstanding may have caused you.

Dunno..I guess you just remind me of a disgruntled 4th liner that isn't getting any playing time and so you want the coaches fired. I'm probably way off....

You were way off a long time ago. Hcky85 has been right on the money. You are so blinded by the coach's power that you forget what a coach is there for. The players, remember? I'd bet hcky85, with her knowledge of the game, her intensity - as displayed here - and her commitment to the team - would serve any team well on first line. The problem with you, 5 4 fighting, is that's the best argument you can advance when you're losing: Oh, you must be a disgruntled 4th liner. Somehow, I didn't expect any better of you.

Guilty as charged again. You really do know far more than what I gave you credit for.

My eyes are rolling too. There is a lot of talent on the team and - a lot more that's been booted. Too bad if someone has to read about this online, be it team member, coach or spectator. It's no different than any critique that a newspaper article puts out and little miss star player obviously can't do it alone - just because she's coached by 5 4 fighting. PLEASE!
