Every recruit is a lottery ticket until the skates hit the ice.

Quote from: ugarte on July 03, 2026, 05:17:20 PMhe's going to keep getting asked about it and he's going to keep answering questions. you're probably not going to like most of his answers. tbh after a great opening couple of months - and despite the possible issues we're going to have at goalie this year - i didn't think he was all that good second semester.

I agree. He's good but never took over a game for us. Bon Voyage. No way for us to know what was going on in the locker room, but I kinda call BS on a 'no french' rule.

i think bernie ran the stats with me once and after the first 10 games or so he was worse than shane last year...

From the article itself it sounds like there wasn't a "no French" rule, that was the headline for clickbait. Cournoyer in the article said more that (presumably?) some of the other guys(?) were calling him and XV "Frenchies" (and presumably related shit) when they'd talk in French, so they stopped doing it. Which... again, Casey is a Francophone too, I severely doubt there was a rule or anything like that.

and ngl like... considering much of the shit that goes down in hockey locker rooms, this is what you took offense to? like fr my own father says worse shit about my mom and i speaking polish around him, you can't be that damn sensitive right, isn't like 90% of quebecois identity "fuck the english speakers we don't care what they say allez les habs"?

Aïe, ils m'ont cassé les couilles. Tabarnak.   

Locker rooms in hockey yeah, you're gonna get ribbed, but it's generally out of affection.

You've made your point for the month.

Twin brothers Liam and Markus Ruck, heading to NoDak this year, were drafted together by the Pens. I miss our twin sets. Looks like Yale has a set on the way, too.

We've only played RIT four times ever. Last was 2010.

They feel like they would fit nicely into the ECAC.

2 games VS NCHC
3 games VS AHA
2 games VS Hockey East

Did I miss any? Not shabby, but I would have liked to see one B1G 10 or CCHA game. Alas, only so many OCCs to spread around.

The NCAA can grant another five years of eligibility. Unfortunately, there's still no limit for your posting career.

4,102 posts later, your signal-to-noise ratio is mostly signal telling us there is noise.

I'm proposing fewer duplicate posts. You should be in favor of that.
The goal is to improve signal-to-noise ratio. You can help immediately.

Your only response is that some one else owes you work? Classic.

You aren't a member. We are guests.

The funny thing is nobody disagrees with your diagnosis. The forum has a spam problem. We disagree with your entitlement. Every post reads like you're filing a complaint with management when management is basically one retired hockey fan.

Classic cake-eater behavior. Show up late, contribute nothing, complain about everything, and act shocked that volunteers aren't meeting your standards.

If you have the spare time to create, host, maintain, mod, etc a hockey website, have at it.

Age, thanks for continuing to do this for us, we are, in fact, appreciative.
