RPI Hockey 2012-2013 Part II: You Better Starting Posting the Engineer Way

Re: RPI Hockey 2012-2013 Part II: You Better Starting Posting the Engineer Way

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

Perhaps one of the 2 goals could have been stopped but I can excuse both after that little stretch where he made 3 or 4 very good saves in about 5 seconds. The overhead shot showed just how nimble he was as he was just peppered quickly. Bryce can be criticized at times for a soft one or letting one bother him-but I swear there are times he shows flashes of brilliance. That being said, he needs to do it for 60 minutes and we have not seen that yet this year. I honestly would love to see kasdorf play tonight (if i was home to watch him) but would not be upset whoever plays. I would sit Lee though-he hit the boards hard last night and even if he says he is fine-he will not be 100%. Not knowing the injury status of the ones who sat last night I would play Tinordi or Schroeder if possible. More importantly i would do something to tweak the defensive pairings-just too many times they were caught out of position and gave up clean odd man rushes and too many good clear looks at Merriam to suit me. Last point-correct me if i am missing something-but does it appear that Luke has lost a few pounds since last year? he still hits like Ernie Shavers out there(ask the official who had his bell rung) but he just looks a bit slimmer to me.

Mincing words I will not do. References to posts, however, I will. I am a firm believer in "put up or shut up", so I will put up.

The original post of information in question to which this argument began is located here at post #635.

As for my suggestion, although indirect and in a zinger format, you'll want to look at post #664 on here, specifically the edit. The post does show the last time the post was edited and cannot be changed by the likes of us. You'll also notice in post #676 that I had, once again, suggested that classmates is a possibility, thereby eliminating the exclusive target of the World Wide Waste-of-time.
Referencing #664 (edited - or redacted ): you changed your words. You have lost all adult credibility with me. Your original statement accused players of using the media to share team info. Done. I won't argue against a slippery foe...so you win. You can look yourself in the mirror and feel great! And, you can take FULL credit that thanks to you two bozos (you and the other one who decided to feign insider knowledge of injuries) have GUARANTEED that I will do everything I can to keep the team apprised of your tactics so you won't have access to a peep, unless it's from a coach. Walk proud. Mission accomplished.

Being a judge in my former life, and always being pro-active in nature, I am going to rule in the case of Babo vs FD. Since I cannot find any post specific to FD saying injuries are actually posted on facebook, twitter, etc., he cannot be held guilty of an act where he is being accused of stating injuries were posted on facebook, twitter, etc.

"So the players are not to use Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram, as well as not wear casts/slings." My ruling is in favor of FD......not guilty!!! However, in light of Babo and her motherly instincts, I completely understand her objection and sensitivity to such information being posted on a fan forum message board, and find rvd5star69 guilty of violating the code of sharing classified information! There will be no television interviews or further comments.:)
I conceded to the outcome before I read this. He edited his post so my assertion would not hold up in a court of law but both he and I know what he wrote.

Am looking forward to being at tonight's game... I have a few things to do early this evening, so I may be a little late. Good to see jericho and babo last night. Hope to see a few more tonight. GO RED! Hey Dr D and Jenny: good to hear things are improving in NJ.

Will AspyDad and troyboy be there? Shout out to Tom.

I guess walking out of the arena with a sling or crutches means nothing to you, but don't let that stop your witch hunt.

We were more fortunate than many. It was pretty bad but we have some advantages-we do not have kids to entertain here. We did not miss TV at all. Missed the internet but so what? Jenny cooked pioneer style in the fireplace. Flooding just barely got up to our door. Cats are all safe and sound. We had no heat, no electric cooking, no cell phone, etc. But we come from an age when we did not really have some of these things like cell phones before. Worst part was no gas to drive anywhere and the roads all being closed. We were just housebound and hoping we had enough cat food, litter, and wood to burn in the fireplace. We looked at it as an inconvenience-as long as no one was hurt and no major damage or losses. We have both had far worse in our lives. We could have left and drove up North-but was not sure we would be allowed back, would never ever leave the pets, and with the burglar alarm losing battery power after 12 hours-had no protection against looting or damage. Did we get a little upset? Sure. But honestly losing the 4 ECAC hockey games bothered us a whole lot more.:)

My head hurts after reading FlagDudes posts. I understand the thread title is Post the Engineer Way, but you don't have to post like an engineer.

SA isn't a lowercase engineer. :)

You weren't also a porn actor in a former life like that guy from Cortland County that made the news here ? :D

Word here at the HFH is Lee will dress for warm-ups and see if he can play. Extra forward will be in warm-ups just in case.

I guessed that since Tinordi was udner Burgdoerfer that was the possible switch, but of course it is Lee. My bad.
 
Re: RPI Hockey 2012-2013 Part II: You Better Starting Posting the Engineer Way

According to the chat feed for the women's game, Kasdorf gets the start.
 
Re: RPI Hockey 2012-2013 Part II: You Better Starting Posting the Engineer Way

Brutlag stood behind the bench when he was injured during the Colgate game that year. The team had much more of a oligarchal leadership within the players themselves, which is probably what led Appert to say last year that he needs to take control, and is why it took so long to pick a captain this year.

This is nothing but conjecture, it should be noted.
 
Re: RPI Hockey 2012-2013 Part II: You Better Starting Posting the Engineer Way

Stay@homeDad, so as one of the “respectful posters,” I wonder what good you thought might come from announcing whose camp said what in the stands during the course of a game? To my way of thinking, identifying the player camp that may or may not have offered a particular comment on the quality of the any Mercyhurst goal adds little weight or validity to the observation. And while this may not have been the intent behind mentioning a specific player’s camp, such a posting on this thread could have the effect of stirring up trouble by implying that friends or family of the player might be sitting in the stands being critical of other RPI team members. I can’t imagine that would have the effect of enhancing team relations. But at least the families/camps of all the players have been served with a valuable reminder that there may be folks in the stands listening in on their conversations, ready to report to the world what they are saying.

Personally I did not think any good would come from what I announced. Think you are correct that it does not add any weight as to the observation and it could have been John Doe for what it matters. It was not my intent in mentioning the player's camp and agree I should not have probably mentioned it on here as to where I had heard it. However, I do disagree with the possible effect of it enhancing team relations. If any player on the team thinks that every family member of the team is not going to be critical of their play I think that is an ignorant player. I don't care who you are in this world we all are scrutinized in one thing or another by some body love it or not. Hell the person that started this website did it, I am sure, knowing that the main purpose of it was for people like us to come and ***** and complain about what it is we see on the ice from these young men. Also to compliment them when we think they did well. Unfortunately, lately we have not been able to compliment often. Therefore, I do not think it matters if another players family member or friend of family something about an other player on the team. Knowing most of these guys personally I really do not think they could care less what any of us have to say let alone even read this **** we post. I know Bryce and a bunch of the guys personally and have no problem telling them to their faces what I really think of their game on particular nights, and have done so. Some of them take it like men and some hate me because of it. Either way I let them know what I think based on how I saw things. How they take it I cannot control but I do not intend harm in any way towards them. I just hope they are able to see things from different peoples perspectives, digest them, and perhaps use them to their advantage. Personally, I think, education is the best thing anyone can have and it comes from everyday we live on this earth. So if by me posting posting Bailen Sucks because he is a puck hog, which I really do not believe he sucks as a player but is a puck hog, helps him to pass the puck more if he reads these posts then I think I may have done him some good. The same that you mentioning this to me has brought light to me that yes, I should have not mentioned where I heard it and will be more careful in the future to not mention where I do here things if I decide to post them.
 
Re: RPI Hockey 2012-2013 Part II: You Better Starting Posting the Engineer Way

Tonight's game. Thought we came out and dominated the 1st period even though we did not score a goal! We had a few good chances and did not capitalize on them. Not sure what happened to the team I saw in the 1st period but they did not come out in the 2nd. 3rd period we started to go back to the team that played in the 1st. Defense played a lot better than the night before. I wonder it that was because they were worried having a freshman goalie in between the pipes. Kasdorf for the most part looked good to me in net. I know a few might disagree with me on this but I did think he gave up a lot of rebounds. Actually the 1st goal in my thoughts were his fault as he should have smothered the puck and not given up the rebound on the initial shot that eventually led to the goal. Having said that I do think we need to start him and ride him out going forward as he seems to have, as I have said before, a bigger presence in between the pipes and makes the big saves at big times in the game. Was nice to see Miller finally get his first goal of his college career with all the hard work he has been putting in thus far. Another good game for Fulton, my Rudy, of the team who keeps surprising me. Glad to see Burgs get a goal too for all the hard work he has been putting in these past couple of games. As for Haggs I think I will need to spend some time with him practicing how not to hit posts anymore and putting the puck into the net.
