Except it was Two Amigos and a D'Amigo.

I am not exactly sure what you mean, but Pirri and D'Amigo do appear to have been friends. It's Laliberte who has been the one who has been on the outside in several ways.

Someone suggested that Laliberte could come this Fall if D'Amigo leaves for the pros. Considering everything else that has happened, it wouldn't entirely surprise me.

Of course they are, I believe at the time it was a play on words given one of the players' last name contains "Amigo".

Seems to be all but a done deal. I do find it frustrating that going Major Junior appears to be one of the options (at least in the Leafs thinking -- not D'Amigo's from what I've read) on the table. Do they want Jerry to light it up against 16 year olds in the OHL -- make him a goal scoring machine in their future plans? Strikes me as a weak (step backwards) reason to leave the NCAA.

I understand Leblanc leaving to get an 'in' with the World Junior Team that is so pro-Major Junior in Canada -- but D'Amigo doesn't have to worry about that. I bet you he ends up in the AHL.....

I agree that the Marlies are his most likely destination this year, but until he actually signs, there is hope he will be back in Troy,

Maybe Justin Smith will get a role there? I almost also want to think maybe Joel Malchuk, or a short-handed playmaker like AAG.

Rumor has it, it's actually possible to take pictures inside now without the need for a flash or the overhead lights on. But hey, I guess that's what nice big front windows can do for the place.

Great job with the pics JC...those windows are nice! Looks like we're getting the old scoreboard back.

Re: RPI 2010 Off-season thread V: Captain Kennedy and the A-Team

Went to the Valleycats baseball game tonight. Got there right at the end of opening ceremonies. But most of the RPI team was there lined up along the third base line. Was in line with a few of our players old enough to enjoy the 2 for 1 beer night tonight. Good to see they took a night off to enjoy some baseball and get everyone in the Capital Region ready for hockey season.

Uggh, forgot all about it or I would have gone over....

Not really surprising.

I was thinking about "RPI 2010 Off-Season Thread VI: Adios D'Amigo," but it would probably earn me a facepalm or three.

Not only that, you'd be fired from starting threads, with cause.

We filed that one under "iffy source" after GLM told us about Damien Cox's proclivity for regurgitating stuff that others have written. Which was definitely accurate, as he didn't say anything new in that article other than to make it sound like it was already done.

Today should be the day, though, and I do expect a deal to get done. Jerry has an outside shot at a top-six position, a good shot at making the Leafs, and I'll eat my hat if he doesn't at least make the Marlies.

I heard that the ceiling paint job really brightened up the barn. From your photo it looks like the old scoreboard is back, although rumoers persist that it is goig to be replaced.

Ed Weaver article re JD'A http://www.troyrecord.com/articles/2...3239883635.txt

He scares me, and you really can't trust him. This appears to be a very good article; well researched; thoughtful relevant quotes. Then you see the correction below it and wonder. He takes a random comment from who knows where and attributes it to Appert. We’ve all made mistakes; but that it certainly a whopper.

It really has; even the seats have a glow to them that wasn't realized, and they weren't even painted (based upon what was said here)!

The window seems to provide an "advantage", as it were, given which way we face in the 1st and 3rd periods, during the day games. Also incentive to not go to overtime with the new rule. However, why do I have this feeling that America's Pep Band might be wearing sunglasses during the games, ESPECIALLY given which direction the building faces?

We don't necessarily know that it was Ed who wrote that original "quote." The article referenced is written by the "sports staff" at The Record.

Despite the scoreboard being on the ground in those photos, I'm still of firm belief that there will be a new scoreboard going up in its place this offseason. The person I spoke with said that the old board was in place to allow for doing a mock-up of the new scoreboard.
