RPI Offseason Thread: Six Languages of Drivel

82 - Sorry about your loss and proud to have a man like your brother representing RPI and our country. Just thought I would pass along that I was at Fenway on Saturday night to see their tribute to Gen. Greene. His children stood on top of the Red Sox dugout while the crowd showed their appreciation. Perhaps you were there. For me, that was one of the high points in what was otherwise a very long, drawn out and barely watchable game. Best wishes to you and your family.

Yes, I was there. Although I was somewhat reticent to go, I knew my brother, who ranked the Red Sox and RPI Hockey as his co-favorite sports teams (with the Patriots 3rd) would have wanted us to be there. The Red Sox organization was fantastic, even surprising us by upgrading the tickets Harry bought several months ago to the owner's box adjacent to the Red Sox dugout. We talked about fond memories of many games attended with Harry, including at many at HFH, and just had fun for the first time in several weeks. My nephew also got some laughs from my descriptions of his father's D League exploits at the Frear Park rink. It was a very cathartic experience.

Thanks to all for the many kind comments about my brother. He loved his alma mater and would get back to Troy whenever possible. Even during this past season's 2nd semester struggles, he'd listen to almost every game even though the time difference to Kabul meant they were just ending about the time he needed to get up. I'd get an email or text with his assessment of the game. When the boys shock everybody with a better than expected season this year I'll believe each puck that trickled across the opponent's goal line or each shot on our goal that rings off the post probably got a little help from above.

I don't know if I was on the air for any games that he was listening to, but on behalf of Tom, Perry, Kurt and the rest of the crew, I am honored and happy that we helped bring him a sense of peace over there. My condolences.

Sent my season ticket renewal form in today. Cannot wait to get back into the Field House and watch some hockey. Betting on the horses and little league baseball is getting costly. :)

I thought that the goalie position was crowded with three. Now we have four goalies on the roster. What's up with that?
