Quiet you.
The better question is why Army hated him.
Quiet you, too.Hal Gill
This the most intelligent thing you've ever posted.

Fred lost them and Hokydad had them welded to his head.

You want one a that would be solid but would fit in within the bounds of 18 scholarships:
Goal Beaudry as a soph, Sims as a Senior (Beaudry playing 3 out of 5 games--both pushing the other
Defense Fay as a Senior, Leach and Libby as seniors, New soph and Velischek and Kelly as Freshmen. Nothing to give the 2 backups so D Cavanagh any year and Harvey as a Frosh.
Forwards. Senior line of Cameron, Lake and M Omicioli as top line
Junior line of Disalvatore, Fregoe and Rask as juniors as 2nd line
3rd line I'd go Bergland So, Jamnick So, Maloney as a soph
Money for scholarships gets tighter now so I'd use the present 4th line of Rooney Balysky and Schaller. The bench would be a mixture of walk ons/back end 2 for 4's/I see only enough money for 1 to get close to a full and that is because the 4th line is so young and costs us nothing this year -- Golden, Simon, Hess and Landman basically
There is some reality here too in the sense we would not be positioned well to rebuild once this heavily senior team graduated. Roughly we would free up 7 scholarships, at least 3 would be picked up by those who are partials already on this team and you could only bring in 4 full boat guys for the next year--beside the lose of experience, a flat out loss of talent. Essentially exactly what happened when the class of '03 graduated and Pooley began mortaging his future to fill holes and I will note Army has kept right on that path if not directly by his desire to have a 30+ man roster which splits up too many scholarships and the fact that he has not truly solved the goalie problem that developed once Goepfert was sent packing. Army has more money in goalies then most schools do.

I think he gave very basic answer to all the questions. I think he knows his role as captain is to at least publicly put on a good face and represenent PC as the face of their program. Truthfully (and maybe more so in his case), his future rests with not rocking the boat. He was a later round NHL pick what will be 5 drafts ago when he finally is ready to go to camp in the fall, if NJ felt he showed signs of not being a "team player" in all respects, there are plenty of players to be found.

Fayne makes a good point that a key for this team is to play at a fast tempo and with high energy. I have thought that for a couple of years now -- that's how the team is built to play, and how it appears to envision playing -- swarming around the puck, being a tough opponent, etc. But I have learned (largely from watching this team) that high energy is only the first part of an equation. The second part is that the energy has to be designed to produce something -- disruption in the defensive zone, transition in center ice, scoring opportunities around the goal. Even when this team has shown good energy (which it has in most games, and deserves credit for) only rarely does it actually hit the long breakout pass, generate a 3-on-2, get to the net with control of the puck. The energy needs to be channeled. THis may run counter to conventional wisdom but I think they are far too focused on getting shots and not enough on playmaking in all zones
