there you go again, putting words in someone else's mouth that just don't fit there!

I have never had any problem whasoever with WHAT you say....

The adjectives I used described the manner in which it was said, that's all.

If you cannot tell the difference between what a person actually says, and what your imagination tells you they might be saying even though they never actually did say it.....

It's not that you've claimed to be infallible. It's the air with which you speak - an air of certainty expressed through pomposity and lithe comments. If you want to speak like that, you'd better be speaking from knowledge or from at least understanding, or you A) look like a clown and B) really get annoying.



It should be presented as such, then.



False. I do not take kindly to baseless speculation or rampant speculation. If you want to take a guess at something relevant, go right ahead, you are correct that it is the point of a message board. If speculation begins to take over, then there's a problem.

This is much better.

Of course, FreshFisk probably has a problem with what I'm saying.

Too bad actual voice speaks a lot more than words; it would have been easier to detect the uncertainty in what I had said had this been a vocal discussion. Sadly, there is a limitation in that regard. I guess we have to live with it.

But you know what, who cares at this point. I think you and I have come to an agreement regarding this stance, and I'm ready to see what else we were talking about. I'm sorry to see others had gotten involved, resulting in the past hoopla.

Unlike you, I don't physically change what someone else actually said in quotes.

I know it is the off-season and there is not much hockey to talk about, but out of respect for the time of others on this site, couldn't these protracted adolescent, self-serving ****ing contests be waged privately via e-mail or IM?

A little back and forth banter is fine, but when it gets to be over a few posts nobody else cares.

No, because I'm not interested in having him email me or IM me.

Agree, which is why he should stop embarrassing himself. It takes two to tango, of course, but when you're so ridiculously outclassed, it might be time to just stop.

At any rate, I've had my fill of messing with this little retard and will now allow him to whine at me one final time.

You are right, and I apologize.

My parents taught me never to engage in a battle of wits with an unarmed opponent, and I forgot that lesson. Won't happen again.

That's it? Man, talk about going out with a whimper.

Moving on. The incoming freshmen are known, I am told, with the exception of which goaltender will be coming in. They're trying to make sure Kasdorf will be academically eligible in time for August (since they'd originally planned to bring him in for 2012) and if they can't make that happen, they will have to bring Diebold a year early. It's kind of a catch-22 - Kasdorf would certainly benefit from another year in juniors (especially in the BCHL) but is probably more college-ready than Diebold with what appears to be a much greater upside. If it's Kasdorf, you lose a year of growth similar to what happened with Patrick Koudys (who also could have used the extra year of incubation) but you have a more capable second goaltender in 2011. If it's Diebold, you get that extra year of juniors for Kasdorf but you have a less capable goaltender in 2011, plus Diebold loses the extra year of growth in juniors. It's a tough call.

That makes perfect sense. The difference with the Koudys situation was that he was apparently quite academically ready. Hopefully, Kasdorf is academically eligible because my crystal ball states that there is a good chance that, like York, he will be getting pro overtures and we won't really lose a productive year from him getting him early.

Right. The difference is between being academically ready and being college hockey ready. With Koudys last season you could see the raw talent but it still needed to be refined a bit. Usually, you prefer to get your refinements done in juniors and then fine-tune them when they get to the NCAA. Hand was forced in that situation.

SLU's schedule was posted today by freego here and here and it lists a December 10th game against Clarkson at Lake Placid. So, it looks like the Lake Placid Face-off will live on and will hold the same format (at least for this year).

December 10th is our league home game with Union. Will there be two different teams for the LP Showcase, or are we getting a different league game date with Union and that becomes our NC game?

You know, if your formatting was better in your spreadsheet, I would have known that that was the ECAC game at HFH :p

I jumped on the assumption that since we were playing each other on the 10th and that SLU and CCT "announced" a game at Lake Placid on the 10th, they were related. I should have double-checked before I posted. Well, then I guess we'll just have to wait and see what happens up at the 1980 Rink.
 
Re: RPI Off-Season Thread 2011 Part II: The Bryce is Right

Today is 9 June 2011. There are 114 days until RPI's next game.


This is based upon 1 October for the start of next season.

That is the day that an exhibition game is supposedly scheduled.

There was no "NC" next to Union for that, meaning it was a conference game. It's all good though, we've got the meanings down. The best places I can see for remaining NC games (should we choose to play Union, even if it becomes conference and Dec 10 is NC) would be in October between Notre Dame and Colorado College (either a Sunday or a weekday), we're also pretty open in December as we usually have one more game in there (perhaps that becomes Bentley).

I'm surprised that to this day that the sheet still does not differentiate between home and away games. (except for a few CCHA teams that it is filled in for). A schedule tells us three fundamental things...who, when, and where. Without the where, it is useless to me.

People have taken the time to enter schedules, line by line, but haven't taken the time to select rows and bold them? RPI, whose rough schedule has been laid out in the season ticket flyer for weeks, is not even updated with home/away.

Before anyone gives me the "why don't you update it" speech.....I'm not going to waste my time tracking down every schedule to enter it right. That should fall on the spreadsheet creator. (stares at FlagDUDE)

All this from both posts makes a lot of sense. The nice things about getting players like Koudys aand Kasdorf early are: 1) we don't lose them to a higher-profile program by waiting a year; 2) RPI fans get to watch a player like that develop over the course of 2-4 years; and 3) If the player develops quickly and leaves dearly, we still had him in the lineup for a couple of years.

Do we know if Laliberte is on the list of those planning on showing up at RPI for next season?

Another poster had said, "The incoming freshmen are known, I am told, with the exception of which goaltender will be coming in." I'm going to assume known means by the coaching staff (please correct me if I am wrong), so I would conclude that if he's included on that list, then yes. *Captain Obvious flies away*

I don't know what the list is, and I'm not sure whether or not he signed a NLI or not. Is there a website that lists those signatures?
