Some of your indirect references make me think you are channeling Dennis Miller. Keep them up-most are really very funny.:)

Yes, but if Nate was standing up there like that, your student section would have egg'd him on. You should have seen us egging on Fridgen a few times when he was coaching. :eek: Not to mention, at that game, the RPI section I believe had a chant involving "Kick his [alternate word for donkey]".

Kick his burro! *clap, clap, clap clap clap*

It's not just the ECAC, all sports leagues protect their officials to the nth degree. See Armando Galarraga.
This is just wrong. We all know that they are human and they make mistakes. When they do, they should be called on it.
Would this have been reviewable if we had replay? And if we did, would this not have been overturned? How is showing the video a suspenable offense?

Officials are disciplined by leagues, but it is usually done in private with little or no public statement. It is essentially a personnel matter that is kept internal.

That is subjective; a judgement call and would likely not be reviewable.

Showing the video may not have been, but then saying that the official should be worried essentially made the point that he was questioning the validity of the call and that is likely the basis of the league action.

I don't see the one-game as any big deal. Hagwell felt he needed to do something and he did. End of story.

The Armory Bar? Now you are really causing me to daydream-I staggered out of there many times. The drinking age was 18 in those days but they served anyone who came in wearing something with RPI on it.

That's pretty sweet, getting some attention from the NHL.

I didn't realize that Kennedy was a walk-on. :eek: It is just plain amazing what he has done for this program.

I heard that he received money for minority students.

Hope Ken "The Snitch" Schott is happy. I don't want to see if the play was called wrong, I want to know if you are breaking league policy. Hope you're happy Kenny. Nate is proud of you. Will see you in AC.

I don't know what you have against Ken Schott but to blame the suspension on him or anyone besides Seth Appert is pathetic. Ken is the best reporter in the ECAC if not the country and an asset to the league. He was just reporting the story after Appert decided to make a spectacle of himself and publicly call out an official. The results would've been the same if Appert had done this in any other major sporting league no matter how egregious the call was.

Not for nothing, but ADs last post on the matter was 40 posts ago. You chose to quote something 300 posts (and nearly a week) old to bring it back from the dead. Who's not done with it?

Perhaps the concern was that the controversial ending had led to the press reporter's question, the question led to the comment, and the comment ultimately led to the suspension. However, you are absolutely correct that any person who speaks to the press has every right to say "no comment" to anything. You're freely able to say anything in this country, but because the ECAC is a private establishment, they refuse the right to service to anyone, including coaches. We may disagree with this premise, but that's the way things are.
