Kasdorf wouldn't have dropped an easy save and let it trickle into the net, though. Happened right in front of me, too.

There isn't a goalkeeper in the world who hasn't muffed an easy shot or two...albeit some more than others.

No wonder I didn't get to see him fight; he used them up early.

Looks like Bruce Coles' penalty minutes records could be in serious jeopardy. I guess if you can't beat 'em, beat 'em up!!

Always thought his numbers would last forever.

Not necessarily. We have had many recruits who had several players with a lot of penalty minutes who didn't have comparable numbers in college. Andrew Lord is a prime example.

True Ralph. But six fights in 31 games does cause some concern. Obviously SA will calm him down and hopefully he won't take out not being able to fight with some other major penalties.

Maybe he's getting it out now because he knows he won't be able to do it for four years.

He's actually a pretty good player. Very O'Grady-like.

Hopefully without being sick/hurt for a good portion of his 4 years.

Thanks for the comparison.

I am indeed concerned, and I have voiced it here before. I was just saying that it is possible that he won't continue like this at RPI.

The fight that earned JD the suspension.

JD means juvenile delinquent?

I he indeed wants to play NCAA hockey he will control that temper-perhaps channel it into just some hard hitting. He will be fine. I just want him to find the net for us.

I think, if anything, he's going to find the right guy for the net, whether it's JL or RB (not our RB of course). I don't see him being a goal machine. Obviously we need that toughness out there, even if he's just protecting JL.

I suspect that he will control his temper much more than in the USHL, bu not completely.

Are you saying that he is going to get more assists than goals?

I would suspect as much. He seems to be more of the protect-your-star enforcer type, and in the game I saw, has a real knack for what's going on on the ice around him.
