Yeah. There's another thing I'm going to lose sleep over. But no, it wasn't me. I can give you some negative rep if you really want some.

How is he (assuming it's a he) making a logical and factual statement "classless"? And how is this in any way a personal insult? I'm at a loss for words here.

That being said, congrats to your club on the likely-clinched Cleary Cup, all fan biases aside, you or Quinnipiac definitely deserved it on results alone.

With regards to sa`s post game comments :regarding it has to come from that {locker room} he is part of that room and if the boys can`t get fired up on their own as the head coach I feel he should be setting the fire under their back sides. In the real world Sometimes even a good employee needs a little jump put into their step by the boss. I feel seth has been absent in that department and way too tolerant of lazy play and repeated idiotic penalties by the same guys all year.Come on Seth step up and light the fuse before its too late.

If you don't want to get some people upset you should refer to him as OGC please. Otherwise, the great Aspydad will be all over you.

Having said that I do agree with you that he and the assistant coaches should be able to get the boys fired up.

Evidently he does, if you look at the team's Saturday record in comparison to Friday. What happened to the other five days of the week?
 
Re: RPI 2013/14 Part III: Maximum Overdrivel

Last nights game was one of the most uninspired efforts I have witnessed in a while. I hope they can put that behind them. A win tonight against a good Clarkson team will salvage this weekend. Go Red!!!

It could just be we have a " team " that is not very united. If you can`t bring your A game two nights in a row you can`t win any kind of championship. I will be shocked{but happy} if we get past the first round of the play-offs.

It's part of a leader's job description to build bridges and develop a rapport amongst the players. Whether sports or business, it's the same thing. The whole point of having a team is to have a sum that's more than its parts. It's the job of the coach and captains to establish that team mentality. Now sometimes the internal dynamics of the team make the leader's job impossible... and in that situation, something has to give. Either change the makeup of the team or change the leadership.

To be clear, I'm not calling for SA's head. But I do think his job description requires him to accept some of the responsibility for our team's lackluster performance this year. In my opinion the problem is not a lack of talented players.

Anyway, let's hope we get our s**t together tonight. Puck drops in 35 minutes. :D Let's Go Red!

Yes. You and your ilk just keep getting more and more unintentionally hilarious.

Don't ever stop. By the way, your co-workers gave me a large fry yesterday when all I asked for was a medium, so thanks for that too!

Once again, Schenectadopes showing their "originality" by repeating the same zinger made at them.

Hey, as a native Schenectadian who grew up 3 blocks from the Union campus... and has a father that WENT TO UNION and is now an RPI hockey fan because the school screwed him and his classmates horribly... hope you are not including me on that too... :)

I think he was trying to show where the "personal insult" was on that. Where he was mistaken is that it didn't hit on anything personal to him, it was a general insult that could be applied to any Unionite in theory, I am betting.

(Pardon my possibly broken grammar, Sam Adams came for a visit tonight)

I said that. Apparently it "struck a chord," to use the parlance of one of your compadres. Doesn't excuse your insulting personal remarks in this forum. Classless.

Interesting that you'd react that way to a kind compliment paid to you.

Anyone else notice the overly excited Clarkson fan, who felt the need to run from his seat in section 18 all the way to the stairs past section 17, after Clarkson scored last night. I was watching and waiting from section 9 for someone to clothesline him. Didnt know the crotch chop was back in fashion.

saying "it has to come from the locker room" is one method coaches frequently use to fire up their team. So he is doing exactly what you say he should be doing, no?

there's a difference between doing what needs to be done, and having what you are doing work the way you intend for it to work. To paraphrase Stan Wawrinka, sometimes you try what you should, it doesn't work, and so you try some more.

Well I can't possibly call him a Unionite because he didn't go to Union. He's a townie whose sons went there. ;)

No one had the forward thinking of doing a convenient stretch yawn? ;)

I apologize sir it was my first day on the drive through. Did you say you wanted medium fries with your order and got a large instead? There is no additional charge. May I suggest this weekend's beverage special we call the Cleary Cup? We do have a several frozen Whitelaw Cups in the walk-in left over from the last several years, they are quite appetizing especially if you haven't had one in a while. We also offer our delicious NCAA burger served with our pickle with 1 seed! Also please do not leave any negative rep/comments for me as I will be demoted to the deep fryer or worse, wrestling with seagulls out at the dumpster when I take the garbage out. I did hear a rumor that we may be getting a new assistant manager soon as a some guy named Appert applied for the open position this morning.

Of course management has instructed us to never accept any compliments from RPI fans.
