Cornell at Rensselaer

[CAS]

After watching the game on TV, I definitely don't share the RPI complaints about the officiating.  In fact Cornell incurred more penalty minutes in the game.

Yep.  But facts don't matter to homers.  It reminds me a little of one game close to twenty years ago when Princeton came into Lynah and acted like a bunch of thugs, followed by their coach (Toots Cahoon at the time) throwing a huge tantrum, and the final score was something like 8-3 in our favor.  Some Princeton homer on Hockey-L posted a rant about how referees shouldn't be determining the outcome of the game, and too many calls had gone against the Tigers - at which time I responded by pointing out that two of our goals were short-handed, and suggesting that if he could find a way to blame those goals on the officiating, I would shake his hand and buy him lunch.

I probably still have that e-mail thread at home, in fact.  I might entertain myself tonight by reading it again.

The fact that Cornell received more penalty minutes than RPI has very little bearing on whether or not the Refs treated RPI unfairly. I would think that someone with an elite education would realize that. :-D The difference in penalties consists of 15 to Greg Miller for an incidemt which a blind man would have called, and some would say should have caused him to be arrested for assault

If you back out Miller's 10 minute misconduct, Cornell still incurred more penalty minutes.  I believe RPI actually got the better of the calls, despite Appert's constant complaining.

A long time ago, a college hockey coach who shall remain nameless told me that coaches always have, and always will, complain about officiating when they lose.  He told me confidentially that he thought 98% of the officiating in college hockey was extremely good and internally consistent within each game - but the officials are easy targets when you lose, so the complaining will happen regardless, and losing coaches will occasionally report the game to the league, himself included.  His final point was that there's one and really only one way to know for certain if the officiating in a game was bad - that the winning coach thought it was bad enough to report it to the league.

I though Miller's "hit" was an accident caused by him losing his balance; the end result was certainly bad (and I'm glad Kennedy was able to get on his feet), but I sure didn't see it as a "dirty" play.

I thought that Miller's stick was somehow being held............why else would he crash into the boards and get shaken up himself?  Unusual play for sure, I don't think there was intent but that's just my speculation.  I watched it a couple of times, horrendous timing for a major.  And as you said, glad that Kennedy is ok.

Some may find this blog piece interesting http://www.withoutapeer.com/2011/02/exclusive-truth-to-power.html. It is certainly relevant. No comment from me since I would probably be banned from here if I did truthfully.

Hard to understand how such a prick could be without a peer.::moon::

Simple... No other prick can match his prickiness.::nut::

I think it's a typo.  It should be "Without a peter."
