    Although did we swap who we play with Union?
    No, just more ineptitude by the league. They don't even know who plays who.

      It's only RPI fans that are classless after all. The best one I heard all night was "Exactly what you'd expect from someone from Troy" after nearly every RPI check on a Union player all night (being a native Schenectadian and going to school and living in Troy for more than 4 years, this isn't exactly an insult). I'm not sure where these people come from, honestly. I'm sure there are good Union fans and crappy Union fans like every other fan base, but I've encountered way too many crappy ones for my liking...

        Don't think so. I'm pretty sure that schools do cover their travel expenses to league games, but it is a rule that is enforced. There are some exceptions,but this is not one of the cases.

            I wish I could say this was a story that I just can't believe, but that sounds extremely believable from my personal experience.

            Glad to have you back, WS. Thanks for the heads up you provided me.
            Keep an open mind. Just don't be so open-minded that your brain falls out.

              So ecac gives 2 more games to Bennett. But also a one game suspension to appert. What did appert do except shout a bit?

                At this point, I am about as frustrated with this whole incident as I can be. With the officials, with the league, with Union fans, and with hockey in general.
                Did the league give a reason for Appert's suspension, or was he just suspended for taking a shove. If anyone is suspended by the league, there should be a published reason and explanation. It would be nice to find out what they are looking at.
                But I believe that it is over now and we have two games this weekend. And thanks to our lackluster play in 2014, they are both must wins. So we must get over last week and concentrate on this one.

                lets go red!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                  Answering my own question, I don't think he did much physically except protect himself. However, he is the head coach and while most RPI players and staff conducted themselves well (as did most of the Union people), we did have a few players and one staffer who did not. While I was upset at Bennett and Union at the game, I wasn't exactly so proud of RPI either, and that is hard to admit. So I guess it seems fair, or at least fair enough, if it's viewed as penalty to the program. Hopefully everyone takes some lessons on self discipline and we go on a nice streak starting with the North Country.

                    Someone wrote here that Vines will likely coach the team in SA's absence tomorrow. Do we know that for sure? It was my original thought also that Vines would be the acting coach since he has seniority, But Graham has head coach experience (in the BCHL) while I don't think Vines does.

                      Didn't Vines coach during the UCONN game during our tournament a few years ago when Appert was suspended?

                        I forgot about that game, and you probably are correct.

                          Vines was coach against UCONN. His record is 1-0.

                            So now that the Haggerty curse seems to have been broken, does that mean we have a shot at winning against Clarkson tomorrow?

                            Oh wait, according to the ECAC we are playing at SLU tomorrow... nevermind...
