Schafer should resign

That's right Mike Schafer should step down. For the following reasons:

1) As of late, the performance of the hockey team is not where it should be. The returning members from last year's championship caliber team are not performing as well as they did last year and appear unmotivated. Vesce isn't producing as much as he was, Hornby is playing with no intensity, guys like Downs and Cook are making errors they didn't make last year. I blame Coach Schafer.

2) In a most unprofessional manner, coach Schafer essentially blamed the loss to RPI on the officiating. During this tirade, Schafer swore repeatedly at ECAC officials in Lynah rink -- the family environment where four letter words rhyming with puck aren't allowed. Whatever the motivation for yelling at Dupree was, Schafer, as a representative of Cornell University, placed the University's reputation on the line by acting in an unprofessional manner. For this alone, he should be fired by Andy Noel.

3) On that same note, I blame Schafer for Lynah Rink losing its edge. When travelling to other stadiums to watch the Red play, ushers help you find your seats -- not yell at you for swearing. At Lynah, I got yelled at for mocking Union during the intermission (when they left the locker room door open). I didn't swear or yell degrading comments, I simply spoke about the D-3 NCAA rule proposal that was passed. Schafer was instrumental in making Lynah a family environment -- this environment calls for respect for players and officials, and no swearing. Although, in a hypocrital manner, Schafer violated his own rules, we need to taunt players and officials to make Lynah Rink what it is.

4) Schafer goes out and gets a great class of recruits. But they have done nothing. O'Byrne is a stiff who's play is undisciplined. Bitz makes too many passes when he has an open shot. Salmela is a great point man with a great slap shot, but he doesn't get the PT. Carefoot and McCutcheon are underproducing. Again I blame Schafer.

5) The Red are undefeated when Schafer is not coaching. We don't need him.

So, because Schafer can't get the team to perform at its best, and because he ruins the Lynah atmosphere and then violates the rules by swearing at Dupree. I call for his resignation.

Don't let the door hit you on the way out.

You know.. at one point I considered you funny. But you're overdoing it. All you do here is annoy people for no real reason over and over again. Personally, I think trolls are a rather sad existence. But now, your not even a good troll, you just repeat your one sad shpiel over and over again.

Don't let the door hit you on the way out.

... ?!?

Why do you need to edit a 3 word post? Idiot.
