    Did you hear what I said? He has the best winning % of U18 team in its history. Plus, the best minds in USA hockey trusted him with those players. JJ and others knew he got a crap deal here and let him guide our elite talent. Plus he's got 2 Natl Championships on his resume.

      Then why did 2016-17 have a similar number of wins to this year?

        Nice observation. +1

          Where did you get your facts Aspy?

          We'll deal with the fact that Appert is just a coach at the USNTDP U18 level, later

                            Agree that this team was more than a 6 win team this season. IMO the team lacked consistency because of all of the in game changes that the HC made. So I disagree with you that we didn't see any in game changes. I also felt that there were too many game to game changes with the offensive lines. Forwards, IMO, need to develop chemistry and it takes more than just a 2 or 3 game segment for that to happen. Scoring is a function of chemistry between forwards. Knowing where each other is and trusting when to make the pass. At times this team was to much "INDVIDUALS" and not enough "TEAM". Solid D1 players, this team has more than just Hayhurst and Riley. It doesn't matter who I think they are, my opinion doesn't matter. Only the HC opinion matters. Changes are coming that's for sure. I don't believe this team will carry a roster of 34 and with that said I'm sure more than the 3 seniors will be leaving. Will all just have to wait to see who they may be. Many people have rumors but only the players and the HC no for sure. But Im sure the HC has a plan.
                            When a team doesn't score (RPI has had chronic scoring ineptitude) line combo adjustments can , should and will be made. To not do so would be malpractice. These forwards have had plenty of opportunities to bury pucks but have not delivered. RPI has been the ECAC equivalent of the Montreal Canadians - simply cannot produce offensively. Changes are coming there's no doubt. Where they lead is anyone's guess. I liked the work ethic I saw, but the unanswered question remains offensive production.

                              So you're resting on laurels of two years. Maybe two more years that had mild success given we were above 500 (09-10, 15-16). What happened to consistency? Sure, there are going to be good years and there are going to be bad years, but the roller coaster crapshoot is not something you want to see.

                                Given that's the mark for 500, yes I do.
