I actually done live under a bridge, but do "internet" trolls live under something different? Its really not getting under peoples skins, more or less just the truth most of the time. Sorry you don't like the fact Utica has never seen the day of the NCAAs (BTW still one of my Pool C picks) sorry Utica has struggled (to put it nicely) against Neumann for well ever, sorry some people can't get a grasp on how the NCAA selections work (or have been done for years), sorry Utica plays 85%+ of their NC games at home year in year out but your coach has the gaul to call out other teams for not playing road games, sorry I've been to the Aud a few times to learn more about what someone did the night before and how Aunt Betty was doing down in Florida, Im sorry "some" people feel we might as well skip the playoffs and just hand Utica the trophey because they beat Oswego...twice. (yet was blown out by Cortland), Im sorry some people cry and cry and pout like a 5th grader who just got cut in the lunch line because their not "ranked" high enough and or not getting the "respect" they deserve. And while I agree, im not sure what's more comical, the rankings or the responses. But when youve been following DIII hockey for 20+ years you've seen it, lived it, and bought the t-shirt to prove it especially here on the boards and the old boards. From the old bigger than life Middlebury posters to the RIT days to the Geneseo/Fredonia posters on slaught to the Adrian days. We've seen teams come and go, trophies being left at center ice, posters come and go, teams rise and fall yet three things always stay the same:
1) someone always gets screwed
2) someone always thinks their team is "the best" or gets "no respect"
3) I will always speak my mind and don't really care what anyone thinks, but 9 times out of 10 ill have some facts to back up my statements. Thanks and have a wonderful day
PS I have a lot to say about my "5" loss team, but I am a realist who looks at more then just "my" team. Do I think Plattsburgh (a 5 loss team) could win the NCAA title? Sure. Plattsburgh beat Oswego in Oswego, was anyone crying and carrying on like its the end of the world about how Plattsburghs not ranked above Oswego? Not from me. And don't worry, I once knew a young poster on here (more the other board) who was much like that years ago, he now is one of the most informative posters here. Love and admire the passion some posters have for their team.
About Plattsburgh since someone asked. Of the teams in the Top 15 Plattsburgh have the most freshman playing in at least half of their teams games. Meaning, Plattsburgh is young (11 freshman playing on average in 3/4 of Plattsburghs games). 12-5-1, 7-1-1 2nd in SUNYAC 1 point out of 1st, 4th in PK, last in PIM, 16th in PP and most importantly 6th in team defense.... not to shabby with such a young team.
But anyways carry on. Maybe we can all meet up in Lake Placid and sing a happy song. Maybe make some smores over the camp fire, I think there is a bridge or two in Placid I can stay at.....
