And to think I was trying to get my daily humor from this site by visiting the Reforming College Hockey threads.....

In any case, I assume that the BRO did well at the camp, and will make Dubuque quite proud.

In fact, the BRO never went to Lincoln's camp. He was recruited to play for Penticton and was placed on that team without a tryout.

Remember gentlemen, this is a blog. I can tell you that Hockey Dad can chose the stories he wishes to tell, but the NHL guy who was at the camp would never speak to anyone about any player...he was part of the evaluation team. Hockey Dad: you were not there. If you were there, then you're full of it. So either way, you're full of it. But I encourage anyone who wishes to, please continue to trash those who possess qualities you do not. It's great entertainment. For those of you on this blog that know hockey, let's get back to the discussion of RPI Engineers...;)

BTW - Babo will kick hokydad a--!!! I will be at the Recovery Room watching the draft and laugh in my Guiness at hokydad when Luke gets picked.

My point was simple, it was poor form mugging a kid 5'8" 165 lbs.

FYI, he did go to Rangers camp based upon size. They didnt invite him back this year and hurt his status with NHL teams because of his performance there. He is slated as maybe a 6th or 7th round pick, whcih wont happen. Tough is Steve macintire etc, not suckering a kid a foot shorter and 90 lbs lighter.

In the playoffs, he was below avg, in a bad league.

After a year with montgomery, RPI will know what they are getting. There is a reason why Notre Dame etc who he said was intersted did not offer.

That's why I said it. When discussing an athlete, there's one person you really don't want to tick off.

I hope he gets drafted as well. Granted he's probably a longshot, but you never know, maybe the Rangers will put a 6th or 7th round pick to use for him.

Once more for the slow class -- from today's Dubuque T-H :

"...Montgomery... used one of his seven pre-draft tenders on the 19-year-old defenseman with lumberjack arms and a handshake you can feel in your shoulders.
Curadi benefitted from playing on a team with 14 Division I prospects, including Beau Bennett, who appears at No. 32 on the NHL's draft list.
"Luke's only going to get better," said Montgomery, a former NHLer himself. "He should be someone an NHL team should take in this draft. If he continues to progress the way he has over the last 18 months, it's scary where he could be after the next 18 months."

Forget my opinion, this was another on him from another board in the BCHL. Go attack him for a while.....


"Seriously, Luke Curadi? As a vees' fan, that borders on embarrassing.Yes, he's big, but not a great skater,and lacks a fundamental knowledge of the game."

Talking about the up coming draft

This one from a blog at Rangers dev camp..

"ya man he is god awful and to see him in the rangers organization would kill me"

No one here is surprised that you've been sandbagging us again.:D

I'm not sure what to make of the 73 average, but maybe there is a CN to US conversion table, similar to currency? :eek: :D In any event, I hope he and Quinn are tight and that Nick can convince Beyers to come on along to Troy.

Once again, you're full of it. And by your post, you were most definitley not at camp...or, your little darling got cut and you need to feel better...

The only fight the B.R.O. had at Dubuque's camp was against an opponent nearly as tall and they agreed to it before hand. The 'mugging' to which you refer was carried out by a player who is about 6'7"...he did not make the team.

Did your NHL guy at the camp point Seth Appert out to you? You know, the guy who will know what he's getting after Monty's done with him? He was there. Once again, you weren't.

FYI: the BRO was invited to the Rangers Camp by people in that organization who do not make fickle decisions. If you weren't talking out of your nether cavity, you'd know that only previously drafted players and free agents receive invites to camp ahead of time. Those who are eligible to be drafted this year will not know if they're invited until after the draft concludes...your nether cavity is leaking...

I have no idea if he'll get drafted or not. I guarantee you have NO idea what you're talking about. Get your info from better sources; the ones you have make you look stupid...and leaky.

There's a difference? Without even looking I could bet it's the exact same person.

If he doesn't like him, fine. He doesn't have to. I just find it pathetic to be running his mouth about the player, especially given one of the newer semi-regulars to this thread...

Don't take it personally -- If you look at other threads, you'll see he is an equal opportunity flame artist...

Re: RPI 2010 Off-Season III -- How we learned to stop worrying and love the Class of '14

Hey Guys my uncles brothers friend from high school knows this guy who knows another guy who was in Iowa this past week and saw an ice rink who said that Curadi was a goon who picked on little kids for lunch money before going to the rink to pick on smaller players. So its automatic that Curadi will be a huge bust and waste of scholarship when he finally makes it to Troy. :D

Im with everyone who has said you cannot teach size and that Luke will mature with a year in the USHL. Best of luck to the BRO this upcoming season.

I was actually there too and Curadi mugged an old lady for her cane and beat that 5'8", 165 lb. kid with it...horrific. He is a loser and a bad seed...I say we take him out back and shoot him...draft, schmaft...
