Union Hockey 2012-2013 - Unfinished Business

Re: Union Hockey 2012-2013 - Unfinished Business

I'm glad nobody on Union got hurt, but that was one of the most entertaining hockey games I've seen in my few years going to Union games. Only two that rival it for me: beating then #1 Yale and the 5 OT game.

Did anyone catch Bennett and Appert jawing at each other after the first? It was a sign of things to come.
 
Re: Union Hockey 2012-2013 - Unfinished Business

Wow, a great sweep by Union. Going into the weekend I was thinking Union may have taken a few steps back from last season while RPI may have taken a few steps forward. Of course, that is not that case at all. It's really sad to see RPI degrade into a mostly pathetic program that can't compete with it's cross-town rival and has to resort to goon tactics but that's what happens when you sign a completely incompetent coach to a long-term deal. Grosenick was great in the beginning of the second period to keep it tied then the offense took care of the rest after the major penalty. Overall, a very satisfying game and weekend and I'm glad we won't need to beat RPI again until late January.

Come on seriously, were you people at the game? Lee barely hit the guy and then your so called assistant captain jumps on one of our players!! Jooris is a ****ing punk as far as I'm concerned seeing the last 2 games and I'm glad he didn't follow his fathers foot steps and come to RPI. As for our GREAT coach SA is far from incompetent. Do you really think he said go out there and hurt someone boys? *** You Union fans are the worst. You have one good year and you think you're the ****. Come talk to us when you have won 2 NCAA titles.

A witness I spoke with says he clearly heard Appert yell at Bennett "what the f bomb are you doing?". Not sure what that was about. Agree that some of RPIs players were a disgrace. Curadi slamming Ghost's face into the ice and drawing blood was classless thuggery. Time for their captain to lead by example...oh wait a minute that was his example. Still and all 11-5 beat down this weekend quite satisfying.

Typical arrogant RPI fan. We had a couple of national championships eons ago so we will continue to rest on our laurels live in the past and retain unparalleled levels of arrogance. Next time Stay at Home.

I dont speak for any of the other RPI fans on this board, but I dont rest on winning a national title 28 years ago. Heck I was 6 months old when they won it. I also in my short life have realized that any sport is just a game. College Hockey to me is a way to get away from real life for a few hours each weekend during the winter, so while some of the RPI fans rant and rave and whatnot just know that I respect what Union has done the last few years and wish them the best the rest of the way.

S@HD, I like your enthusiasm and pride in our program but its time to hang it(not the enthusiasm rather the defending) up for a bit. Our guys went out there and quite frankly embarrassed themselves and im not talking about the scoreboard,im talking about the conduct.Union wasnt a group of saints either but it was disgusting in the third.Our captain has led a poor example this weekend, retaliatory penalties from an upperclassman captain are unacceptable,and i love the way Lee plays but this weekend was bad. For me,the honeymoon with SA is up, he talked the talk last night and never walked the walk with our team needing to grow up and play with maturity. He complains about our lack of maturity and puts out the same lineup as last night except Rogic.Union knows every weakness in merriams game there is and have exploited it time after time and yet puts him out there anyway. SA is a great recruiter but doesn't at this point in time have all the credentials to warrant the title of great. Union has been the better team for the better part of the last 5 years and they deserve a tip of the hat. Union fans deserve to be proud of the recent success of their boys now as we have the right to take pride in the rich history of RPI hockey. I think its best you leave the Union fans alone and let them have their moment.RPI hockey as we all know and love will be back someday but today, Union won the battle but the war continues.So congrats to the Dutchmen, we'll get ya in January. Lets go Red

Can we please stop with this how many titles do you have crap. We havent won anything in the past 20 years. I sometimes wonder if like the Field House music, the fanbase is living in the past still.

C'mon man,this is a college hockey rivalry, no reason to use personal attacks on another human being,especially during hard times.RPI fans are clearly frustrated, an admittedly old comeback (even from the RPI side) against a hockey team doesn't justify an attack on a personal level.

Everyone makes fun of hockeydad, but he called it. Curadi and RPI are classless. It startes from the top up. Seth Appert is an embarrassment to RPI, and the sooner he and his band of goons go the better.

Thank you for sticking up for me. However, I choose to stay at home with my 2 beautiful kids. Fortunately my wife and I can afford for me to do this even during these hard times for most people.

I wonder if people actually stop and think before they post? Would you call someone a loser in real life to his or her face. Lets keep the name calling out of this.
