RPI 2013/14 Part II: The HFH is Covered with Frozen Drivel

A lot of people post what they think are facts on here and they are not. Don't believe everything you read. Neither are the reasons. If Seth wanted to make public the reason or reasons he stayed, that would be up to him. Aspy for sure, probably Red Cloud know why he stayed. I don't think its right for any of us to post personal info of coaches or players on here, so I won't but I have no problem posting when info on here is incorrect. Feels weird but not driving out tonight so giving RPI TV a look.

I don't believe everything I read (certainly not what I read here). I do agree that it is not any of my business why he did not take the job, but I thought that was what was posted earlier. In any case I am happy with the result. He does have the best record of any RPI hockey coach, percentagewise, against Denver.

I know my source is good. I do post things I "hear" and I always let anyone that gives a hoot that's Its a rumor.
Seth not taking a job isn't personal info.

The reason he didn't take the job is personal and my source is Seth. You want the date, time and table number?

Nope don't care. Can't be that personal heard the same thing from two different people. Both I trust

Our Great Coach who art in the Field House,
Appert be thy name.
Thy process come,
thy battles won,
on the ice, as they are on the boards.

Give us this day our daily win,
and forgive us our penalties,
as we forgive those who penalize us.
And lead us not into Schenectady,
but deliver us from Potsdam.

For thine is the bench,
and the locker room, and the rink,
for ever, and ever.
Amen.

Little Kim, we have had the 37th toughest schedule of the 59 teams, that is in the lower half in case you can't do the math. Look at our scoring against the creampuffs - Scared Heart (6-0 & 7-1), Dartmouth (7-1), Princeton (5-2). Take away those and you can see that our offense ranking is skewed by several blow-out wins vs. bad teams. You can't just take the rankings at face value. Try doing some analysis next time before you quote your stats or execute your uncle.

For conversation sake RC would be correct in his comment regarding RPI's offensive standing. I am not a big accum stats person but if you take a minute and drill into the numbers RPI would still probably be a top 10 scoring team. Most hockey purest would agree that the magic number is scoring 3 goals in a game --- that tends to give you around a 65% (in that ball park) chance of winning points. So its not necessarily what your average is but how often you score 3 goals a game. In the 17 games RPI has played so far they have scored 3 goals in 13 of them or put another way they have given themselves a good chance to win points in 76% of the games they played. Boston College leads the nation in goals per game (they have 3 games where they scored 7 -9 -11 goals). In the 16 games they have played they have scored 3 or more goals in 10 of those games for 63%. From a technical standpoint RPI's offense is consistently more productive than BC's --- does not mean they are the better team.

The US U18 played Saturday night @ Utica College and lost 4-1 (http://www.usantdp.com/game/show/5429260). Just wondering if they'll be able to make it to Troy for Sunday's game. Some useless info; Drew Melanson's Dad went to Utica College. A friend of mine was his teammate on the baseball team while there......things like that remind me how old I'm getting.

Why is it snowing out or something? Just came in from snow blowing and would say we have at least 8in on the ground where I am a bit west of HFH.

Good thing that I did not pick this weekend to go to Troy as I originally considered. since SA said that Soffer would play at least part of this game, I hope that his family made it to Troy.

And Drew himself faced the other half of the USNDTP, the U17 team, on Saturday.

You, getting old? Nah! You want to know old? Last week Jenny and I were out for dinner and stayed for drinks at the bar after. Some really nice looking young lady in her 30's came over and was hitting on me (not knowing I had my other half with me). The fact is, I did not realize that is what was happening at all. But mighty mite(my mini-Guinea) knew right away-and took the young lady into the ladies room and very quickly informed her that if she did not back off, that she(Jen) would remove her lungs out through her nose(her exact words). Me, not knowing when some hot babe was hitting on me? Now that is when you know you are getting old.
