how come?

Re: how come?

The solution is obvious. Schools stop televising games, refuse to sell tickets to games or let people attend games and make players do homework/study while on the bench. If a goalie hasn't faced a shot in over five minutes, he also has to do homework/study. If a player is penalized, he gets additional homework/reading assignments and has to complete them before he's allowed to leave the penalty box.
 
Re: how come?

You have a point, Lyfa. I attended school with the guys who I like to think were the inspiration for the Hansen brothers in Slap Shot, although hockey has seen many such fraternal characters.
As for relaxing admission and academic standards, like most things it's a matter of degree. Many of the denizens of this site go into a frenzy of denial and vituperation when the relationship between college hockey and higher (academic) education is raised. The same thing happens at the suggestion that the proliferation of TV programing and fat pro contracts brings lots of new cash into the college hockey scene, and this money will change college hockey.
The extraordinary anger displayed by posters at the mention of these subjects or an alternative point of view suggests people who rely upon bullying, bluff, and insult to get their way.

I'm afraid you've got us all wrong. If we were 'extraordinarily angry' with you we would track you down and beat you with blunt instruments. Instead, we just laugh amoung ourselves about what a tool you are.

Sorry, I meant to say "extraordinarily angry for posters on a hockey forum," not "extraordinarily angry actual battlers." No, these posters don't "just laugh," they bluster, threaten, insult, and attempt to divert discussion away from college hockey. Look and see for yourself.
BTW: Who's "we?" You got a mouse in your pocket, or do you bunch up for mutual support and safety? What changes do you yourself see in store for college hockey, and what changes would you like to see in organization and play? If none, why do you bother to post to this thread?
 
Re: how come?

Divert attention away from college hockey? You haven't had one post about college hockey, all of your posts have been about the academics of hockey players. If you were actually talking about college hockey, you'd comment on how you believe Boston College will repeat or Denver won't get home ice in the WCHA or Miami will breeze through the CCHA.
