I forgot to mention it earlier -- local TV has done stories on him and NFL interest..with multiple scouts at games.. TE projection for NFL.

Kind of intrigued by the Zalewski, Mcgowan and Bubela line, has some size and I've been looking for a step forward from McGowan. He showed a heck of a wrist shot vs. Acadia and Ferris and was working well in both zones. Can't comment on the last few weeks, haven't seen them since Black Friday. Late last season he looked like he was comming into his own as well. Has a good set of hands for a big guy too.

Yes. That is the irony. An amazing IPA in the middle of pinot & cabernet country. Another great beer is called Racer 5 (Brewed by Bear Republic out of Healdsburg).

I know you cannot get it in the iPhone so I'm assuming the iPad won't pick it up either but I have not tried it.

Haggs must have had a good week of practice to go from being benched to starting lineup. Perhaps Aspydad had lunch with the great coach this week and he got his points across to him finally!! Lets just hope Bailen doesn't be a puck hog on them and prevent this line from performing the way it has in past games thus far.

After the chances from the Harvard game, I'm glad to see that Fulton has earned a spot on the lineup. I'm not too crazy about Leonard being out there given his sophomore slump, but hopefully he has a good rebound.

i can't argue with any of the top 3 lines. Fourth line is always kind of a toss up and you hope for the best. Defensive pairings are very important and the chemistry just has to work out-hope we figure out which pairings work best soon although i do like Bradley in the line up-can fully understand the moves coach Appert has made.

Re: RPI Hockey 2012-2013 Part II: You Better Starting Posting the Engineer Way
I know FlagDude has already discovered that the answer to the question is yes, RPI had a player who was drafted in 1950, though he never played in the NFL.
I know of one other player who attracted some interest from the NFL. That was Denny Lawrence, Class of '69.
Lawrence played defensive end for the 1968 Engineers. He was a very good Division III defensive end. And he weighed 195 pounds.
Somehow the Jets heard about Denny and were sufficiently interested to send a scout to look him over. The scout watched Denny in action and afterward gave him his honest opinion.
He told Denny he really liked his quickness and his upper body strength. He especially liked the fact that Denny had good football sense, and always seemed to know where the ball was going, so he could get in position to make the tackle.
But, the scout said, there was simply no way a guy weighing 195 pounds could play defensive end in the National Football League.
He told Denny the Jets would not draft him, but he gave Denny his card and told him that if he could gain at least 50-60 pounds before the start of training camp next summer, without losing any quickness, Denny could give him a call and he'd try to get him an invitation to camp.
The football season ended and Denny, deciding he needed to do something to stay in shape, went out for the RPI wrestling team. (Don't ask me how he thought that was going to help him gain 50-60 pounds.) He made the team and was named the starting heavyweight.
That year, RIT opened a new indoor sports complex, with a new gym, swimming pool, and hockey rink. For the grand opening late in November, they had a swim meet, a hockey game, a basketball tournament, and a wrestling tournament, all in the same weekend.
RPI was invited to participate in both the basketball and wrestling tournaments, but while RIT wanted most of the visiting teams to be from schools with comparable athletic programs to RIT's own, they really wanted to have at least one big name school involved. So they invited Notre Dame to participate in the wrestling tournament, and Notre Dame accepted.
So, for his very first match as RPI's heavyweight, Denny Lawrence, who had just completed his season playing defensive end for RPI, was paired off against Notre Dame's heavyweight, a guy who had just completed a season playing defensive end for Notre Dame. Denny was outweighed by about 75 pounds. And if that wasn't bad enough, he was about to discover that the Notre Dame guy was just as quick as he was, if not quicker.
The match started, the Notre Dame guy got on top of Denny right away, and Denny couldn't do a thing. He was pinned in less than 30 seconds.
And when those 30 seconds were over and Denny had gotten first-hand experience with the kind of person he would be competing against if he tried to land a job in the NFL, Denny knew that it was time to buckle down on academics, because the real world was beckoning.

Re: RPI Hockey 2012-2013 Part II: You Better Starting Posting the Engineer Way
Great story Waite. i wish we had someone, anyone, from RPI football during my years there but from my previous posts most know that we had one of the longest losing streaks in college history. I would have though there might have been some interest that we do not know about with that very successful team around 2003 that went to the NCAA Div III semifinals. But I cannot think of any particular player that might have gotten the attention.

Re: RPI Hockey 2012-2013 Part II: You Better Starting Posting the Engineer Way
Over all decent performance from our young men tonight. However, I must admit I was getting scared towards the end that we were going to blow another lead. Perhaps Bailen reads this thread and responded to my posts as he had a decent game but still a lot of times when he should have passed the puck and he did not. Good to see Haggs finally lay a body on someone. Curadi sure did lay a big hit on Patry, too bad he wears the black and white jersey but good to see he survived it. Hope Lee is not injured too bad but I am not expecting to see him in the line up tomorrow night. Bryce made some real good saves but also let in what appeared to be 2 easy save goals. Both times he was beaten high glove side. Think we might see Kasdorf for a full 60 tomorrow or at least I hope so. Was also good to see Diebold realized he had the wrong color shorts on during warm ups and changed them before game time.
Believe we will see a different performance from MH tomorrow. They started to poor it on in the 3rd period and wound up with more shots on goal than us mid way through the 2nd to the end of the game. Will be interesting to see if we can respond to their intensity.

Re: RPI Hockey 2012-2013 Part II: You Better Starting Posting the Engineer Way
Gee, since you have all that time to pick and comment and research and parse...how 'bout the evidence I asked you for in the last thread??? You have great attention to detail, no? Where's your research skill??? Is your intellect lacking or are you beign dishonest? Please enlighten us. For those of you who don't know to what I am referring, this young squire stated that RPI players post information about injuries on the internet (FB, Twitter and the like). I challenged him to provide the evidence and he has not done so...he actually ignores me when I ask...so classically 'politican-esk' ...if you go on...I will too. Fess up and make your peace with the facts. The players have been accused BY YOU. Settle the matter.

Yeah FD08 what is up with that? You are normally quick to respond but have been slacking off on Babo's request.

I know it doesn't mean anything, but you can see Lee walk behind Bailen in the post-game interview and he doesn't seem to be having any problems. That said, he had to be carried into the locker room, which is thoroughly not good.

from SaHD's post......Bryce made some real good saves but also let in what appeared to be 2 easy save goals..............I could be wrong but it looked like MH's 1st goal might've come off a deflection by 1 of our D-men's stick, 2nd goal/I wouldn't call it an easy save (had he made it) that was a pretty nice shot. SA's Postgame video, at 5:35 it looks like CJ walking by in the background. I certainly won't make a diagnosis from that but he looked ok..... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oOZgcSdIiJM&feature=player_embedded

Maybe from where you were sitting they looked different. However, on the 2nd goal we had some of Bradley's camp sitting in front of us and even one of them made a comment on the goal. I cannot remember the exact words but basically they were that Bryce should have had made the save. As for CJ I had to watch the video about 10 times 2 see if it was CJ so if you pick it up in the 1 st time you watched it all the more power to you.
