D3 Decisions: Running up the score

Re: D3 Decisions: Running up the score

You know...Chicken Tacos are good too...Fish Tacos on the other hand...not so sure about that.

Actually, I had fish tacos in San Diego and they were phenomenal - sure sounds yucky though.

Re: D3 Decisions: Running up the score

Go jack......I wonder why you feel it necessary to have all that team accomplishment crap all over your posts? Says a lot about your character, but of course that is the right way, where you come from. Probably goes hand in hand with all your other beliefs. Is that simple enough for you to understand, or will I have to try again?

It is in my signature line...meaning it gets attached to every post I put on there...I don't type it out everytime. I'm not sure if that is what you are implying.

Is it wrong for me to be proud of my teams accomplishments? IF that is the case, I'm guessing that all of those championship banners in all the hockey rinks need to come down too. I know your just going on a trolling expedition here, and you got a bite, but come on dude.

I used to post on the D3 men's board where the signature line thing is a very common sight.

Now...go call some people more immature names and move on.

Re: D3 Decisions: Running up the score

Well Go J to be truly honest I'm really surprised you over here putting your shoulder behind the merits of running up the score. I thought you were a true fan...guess your just like the rest of them who don't get it. I actually had you higher on list than that.

I think there is a difference between running up the score and what happens in these situations. If teams continue to push hard all the way to the end of the game, play their starters, run fancy plays and beat a team 16-0...thats running up the score and I frown on that.

If the team benches its top players, or limits their ice time considerably after they get up, implements a five pass rule before your allowed to shoot, changes game strategy, tries new lines...etc and they still manage to score 16-0...they aren't scoring to be ****** bags, and have let up on the team. I don't see as much wrong with that.

I know you don't want the comparison...but I could barely stand to watch the US game yesterday...it was so boring, it was hard to watch a team be so outmatched..and at the same time watch the other team try to play at a lower level.

Another comparison you don't want...When my basketball team got beat 75-8 last year...the coach kept his starting 5 in the whole game, pressed us the whole game, ran designed 3 point shot plays at the final buzzer...he was a ****** bag. When my team was up on another team 20-2 after the 1st quarter..i sat my starting 5 the rest of the game, ran a base zone defense...eventhough we still won 60-12...I don't feel like a ****** bag.


Superior will very likely lose a tie break due to goal differential...so there is something to be said for scoring as much as you can.

I applaud the fact that you have stated your poition on the issue. There has been very little of that here.

The most definitive post to date on the subject. I agree in part, with everything you have stated but nothing speaks louder than your basketball analogy,

As I've been saying all along the coaches are the perps when it comes to a blowout. They are in control of the bench and if they don't take their collective feet off the gas for whatever reason...everyone suffers. I gaurentee you in everyone of the teen blowouts to date no one is more responsible for the outcome than the offending coach.

I appreciate that you were able to get my point across better than I.

As far as goal differential in league play is concerned from what I see it's one or two ahead of a coin flip in a tie break so the point seems moot with respect to GF and GA being an insentive to run up the score.

You see, you just don't get it. You compare a teams accomplishments in an arena to your own personal signature line and you can't see the difference. Every time I see it I have to laugh. You talk about us being arrogant when you display the cheesiest crap every time you post. Get it off and grow up, the past is the past. And you call me immature. Whenever you meet someone do you first tell them your past team accomplishments? That's what you're doing here! Cheeseball. There's more name calling for ya. Start your crying.

I was just about to say something similar 5-4, then your post came up.

NCHA tie breakers

(1) Head-to-Head (2) Most NCHA wins (3) Goal differential in games between tied team only (4) Goal differential in all NCHA games (5) Coin flip by Commissioner

It comes into play pretty quick. Its safe to assume that if the two teams are tied...1&2 will be close



I also agree that you can't really use the olympics as a basis for comparison. Most of these players get one shot at the olympics...and if I'm them and I have a chance to score an olympic goal...I'm gonna take it...even if it is against Slovakia, China


oh and the fish are done biting for the day. Laugh all you want. I'm proud of the team I support's, with all my being, accomplishments. (not sure what the proper grammar on that would be..lol)

Heck, I don't even like UWS the past is the past, but I don't see nothing wrong with Go Jackets signature of teams history. Sum potential recruits might see it and think that might not be a bad place to go....

Let's see how it plays out.

The Olympic Hockey Tournament and D3 League play are worlds apart...

Some potential recruits might see it? You've got to be kidding me. Let's move on....ya

Re: D3 Decisions: Running up the score

Team Canada and Team USA have been training hard for four years (some may say a lifetime) for this opportunity. Now is NOT the time to take their foot off the gas. They're at the Olympics. Go for it. If the other inferior teams get in their way, run em over. It's not their fault.

They trained for this. Why change. They only have five games to get to their goal. They need to play as if this is their last game. And let the chips fall where they may.

Go Canada Go....there's no lettin up now!!!

So, up 10-1 with a minute left, penalty on the Swiss team, and you pull your goalie?

I think that's crap.

Practice man...It's just Practice. Don't want to be down 3-2 in the Gold medal match with a buck 12 left on the clock against the US (if they make it ) and not know what your doing. It's Practice...don't you see just Practice. It's Practice that's all.... just Practice, Relax.

Re: D3 Decisions: Running up the score

trouble is they aren't doing a practice run vs an opposition similar to the states so I question whether you gain anything by doing it. I know you want to keep the athletes working pedal to the metal still don't feel good about that last minute.

And some train a lifetime for the opportunity to play in a DI or DIII national championship and maybe never get there. I agree with you but not just because it's the Olympics. I don't think the argument holds water just because it's Olympic competition. The point is that athletic competition is athletic competition - and you won't ever rise to the next level without being challenged.
