BU @ RPI, Saturday 12/11/10

Re: BU @ RPI, Saturday 12/11/10

FL, people can ask you to provide evidence as well. Since you said "a lot" of coaches have thrown water bottles on the ice, let's rephrase it. How many college hockey coaches, since that's what we're really talking about here. Please provide a list. Thanks.

Maybe not throwing a water bottle on the ice, but Denver's George Gwozdecky walked across the ice to argue with a ref a few years ago and Miami's Enrico Blasi mock applauded the refs after he was ejected from a game last year. I guess they must both be terrible people, too.

Also, please provide a list of college hockey coaches who have been caught red handed during a league suspension? Didn't Parker do this in the late 90s? Received a one game suspension (shocker) and then was still present at the next game? Or something like this? This evidence game is easy to play. But as I've said, I expect all BU fans and I guess now even "unbiased" media members to defend him at all costs.

I'm not familiar with this incident, so I won't comment on it, but you've gotta be joking if you think Parker is the only coach to ever show up at a game while suspended.

And who could forget ole JackPa "eating his ham sandwich" while he conveniently watched a Harvard practice prior to an NCAA tourney meeting...pretty sure he wasn't supposed to be there.

Depends if it was a closed practice or not. A lot of teams have open practices, meaning anyone, including opposing coaches, can watch. BU used to have open practices before closing them last year.

Are you referring to the time he suspended himself to set a good example for his players? The next game was at Merrimack, I believe, and he watched from the stands.

As I remember, it was a turkey sandwich.

I remember that Gwozdecky incident at North Dakota...glad you at least provided some evidence after asking another poster for some. I haven't personally called Parker a terrible person either. Away from the rink, maybe he's a great guy.

Do you have any evidence of other college hockey coaches getting caught red handed???

Umm definitely not. I distinctly remember a game at WBA where he was supposed to be suspended. The game was on TV (old channel 68 i think) and they actually showed Parker somewhere in the rink. Almost certain HE issued an additional one game suspension because of it. If someone has the exact year/games involved, please help me out.

Again, don't blame you guys for supporting your coach (well, maybe what should be an unbiased media member), just don't get on others for pointing out why they don't like him.

The suspended game he watched from the old press box behind the goal at WBA.

Don't recall a headset on in the runway... But sounded good

Seth Appert was suspended for his actions following the game at Union College on Fri, Nov 12. He was suspended the next week for RPI's next game (vs UConn at our own tournament on Fri, Nov 26). There is video evidence of him going onto the ice to help a fallen player.

Can we please stop the b*tch-fest?

Schott is a great writer, but if he feels that the team that he covers has been slighted, then he's going to write about it. And he's going to write about it until someone hears and starts a similar b*tch-fest. Was Parker over the line? Probably. Were the refs terrible? Probably. Is this all being blown way out of context by the BU/BC hatred? Absolutely. Now, take this out of the RPI-related thread! PLEASE! Get out! Go away! Shoo! Scram! Out!

Y'all are Bill Belichick rump-swabs, right? So, based on your hatred/disgust for Jack Parker and his actions, you must really hate coach Bill. Right?

Appert is also very early into his coaching career. Not sure if he already has a reputation. Guess we'll see in the coming years.

As a football coach? Absolutely I'm a Belichick rump-swab.

I think you need only look at what he's done with Travis Roy to see that.

What burgie12 just posted. And you still haven't provided evidence of your incident actually happening, BTW. I'm not saying it didn't, but I'd like to see an article or something and not just take you at your word.

Again, don't blame you guys for supporting your coach (well, maybe what should be an unbiased media member), just don't get on others for pointing out why they don't like him.

If this is referring to me, which I'm sure it is, I fail to see your point. You do realize I criticized Parker for what happened at the end of the RPI game earlier in this very same thread, right? If disagreeing with Slasher's assertion that Parker is a disgrace to the game and asking him to provide evidence for his outrageous claims makes me a homer, then so be it.

That's fair. I was never trying to talk about Parker outside of hockey as I know nothing about his personal life.

And you still haven't provided evidence of your incident actually happening, BTW. I'm not saying it didn't, but I'd like to see an article or something and not just take you at your word.

My word? Come on man, you conveniently bypassed the BU fan commenting on it being a "turkey sandwich" and also Mookie backing up what I said about Parker being at WBA when he was supposed to be suspended. If my word isn't good enough, I suppose a couple BU fans' word is. These things happened.

The turkey sandwich comment referred to the Harvard practice. I'm talking about the suspension thing. I guess that comment should've been directed toward Slasher, not you, as he's the one who said he was coaching the game from the runway with a headset, something mookie disputed. Like I said, I don't know anything about that incident and I don't deny it happened. I got what you said and what Slasher said confused, so I guess that request for evidence is also directed at Slasher. That said, if all he was suspended for was being at the game, then I honestly don't even think that's bad. Yeah, he shouldn't have been there, but if he wasn't coaching like Slasher claims, then I don't see how it really hurts anything. I guess I just disagree with that rule in general. Suspended players can be at games.

I think Slasher just had the details wrong. Mookie knows exactly what I'm talking about...just read his latest post. I'm 99% certain Parker was caught in the WBA press box with communication to the bench and was suspended for an additional game because of it.

I'll never forget that article. Hysterical. As I recall, it was a "turkey sandwich on whole grain with some honey mustard... very healthy". And it was an open practice.

Well you remember incorrectly, because it was an open practice. Mazzolini (or however you spell his name) was furious, and said he never would have done that... but it was an open practice. I'm pretty sure all tournament practices that take place at the game facility are open. I don't have a dog in the fight, I just remember the whole incident very clearly because it was a riot.

Please provide evidence.

He kicked Russ Bartlett of the team in 1999 because he "reminded him of Craig Janney".

Regarding the off ice stuff, people truly in the know understand what I'm talking about. Needless to say, he's pretty low on the totem.

Here are some articles on the Parker suspension, happened in Feb 2000:

http://news.google.com/archivesearch?q=%22jack+parker%22+suspended&hl=en&prmdo=1&um=1&ie=UTF-8&ncl=daU0HgmKDVfFZvM&cid=4398282734306199&ei=D_oITZ73G8P48Ab36_VR&sa=X&oi=news_result&ct=more-results&resnum=1&ved=0CCYQqgIwAA

Parker, who was observed coaching during the Ch. 68 coverage of BU's 4-3 win over visiting Providence on Saturday night, in clear violation of a one-game suspension relating to aberrant behavior in the previous night's 5-2 loss to the Friars, will be barred an additional game.

Following a teleconference call yesterday, the three-member Hockey East executive committee comprised of chairman and Providence athletic director John Marinatto, University of New Hampshire athletic director Judith Ray and Merrimack athletic director Bob DeGregorio, opted to suspend Parker for this weekend's opening game of a home-and-home series against Northeastern.

"The executive committee decided to suspend Jack [Parker] from Friday night's (Northeastern) game. They felt he did not meet the conditions of the original suspension. The comments which Jack made to the executive committee made them feel that Jack in effect had made contact with his assistant coaches."
