Vermont beats RPI 4-1 with Justin Milo scoring two goals in his Vermont debut.
I didn't want to start another thread about this, but interesting choice of words in the ECAC story of SLU's second game at Michigan this past weekend.
QuoteSt. Lawrence killed off 17 straight Michigan power plays for the weekend before Lebler's goal. The Saints also had a goal waved off in each game as Yost lived up to its reputation as a hard place to play.
Maybe this is what they mean?
QuoteThe lone goal of the period was a fluky shot with under a minute to play as sophomore defenseman Tristin Llewellyn threw the puck at the goal from the point and it hit a rut in front of Saint goalie Kain Tisi and bounced over his shoulder and into the net at 19:16.
Great news!!
If one's looking for a definitive answer to why Milo left Cornell, this isn't the article. Still, it's an interesting read...

Well, he pretty well tells why he left. Hopefully we learned something from it. I did find this quote interesting:
Quote"It's been a great start to the season," said Milo, who despite not playing last year was still named to the Hockey East All-Academic Team.

Are we reading the same article? Milo has mastered the art of someone years older in saying very little and sounding as if he's confiding. It's rich, the author saying Milo spoke "candidly."
Quote from: Justin Milo]Milo then continued more candidly about the circumstances leading to his change of scenery.] "There were a few issues with me and the hockey coach at Cornell," explained the sophomore, referring to Big Red head coach Mike Schafer. "It's just the way it was. It was a couple of different things. It wasn't just [an issue related to baseball]. But I had some good talks with the Cornell coach before leaving and really showed my appreciation for what they offered me my freshman year. It just wasn't the right place for me. It was unfortunate I wasn't able to see that before going there, but I was happy that I did go there. It was a great freshman year. I have a lot of great memories, but the right fit and best place for me is Vermont, and I'm glad I made that change
Still, it's too bad it didn't work out. What college wouldn't want a two-sport star who's also doing very well academically?

We didn't, I gather.

Quote from: Justin MiloI wasn't going to be able to play both hockey and baseball there, and I couldn't see myself doing that.
Is that not candid enough? Would you be happier if he slagged Schafer?

Frankly, Yes I would. I hate it when athletes of any team, in any sport leave the team and say "There were issues" I'd rather they tell us the details.
I guess I am not saying I wanted him to slag Schafer, but I would like him to say I had problems X, Y, and Z with person/organization A, B, and C.

I'm not sure how much clearer he could have made it. He wanted to play both sports. Schafer apparently wouldn't go for it. So he left. Next topic?

Yeah, fuck decorum! Why let bygones be bygones? If Justin Milo was blacklisted from Division I hockey, he'd have a reason to complain. Instead, he had a happy freshman year, a sophomore year as a one-sport star and three more years of eligibility. I don't see why he'd be bitter enough to look back in anger.

Thank you, Al. I don't know why every Milo quote in the media turns into a fiasco on the eLf. If for some reason you're not satisfied, his email is Justin.Milo@uvm.edu

Yeah, I'm with ugarte. Milo has been pretty gracious with a situation that seemed to have given him a very difficult decision. He's had nothing but positive things to say about the University and the program. He found himself in a situation that unfortunately was not a good fit. It happens, and there's no lingering ill will. He seems like a really good kid, and I have nothing but the best wishes for him. If I ever find myself at a Vermont game, I'll be cheering my heart out for him. Even if it's against Cornell, I'll give him some applause when he steps onto the ice.
