I feel for Michael Regush. He was a nice player for us and obviously had some team success here. But as a grad transfer at Miami OH his team is having an awful year, and they just got swept by St. Cloud State by a combined 19-1 in two games over the weekend. Yikes.

It was his decision to transfer.

Rarely agree with bearlover, but yep.

It sounds like he jumped from (what he thought was) a sinking ship, onto the Titanic.   Sometimes things don't work out as you plan them.....

I don't understand Regush' history...he played two years at Cornell, sat out a year, and is now a grad transfer at Miami?

He had two years of eligibility left prior to last season. My guess is that, upon the announcement that the Ivy League had canceled last year's season, he decided to take extra classes to graduate early, and transferred to Miami. Why he chose Miami, I don't know. I bet he regrets the decision now. While I can't say I'm rooting for him (or any of the players who transferred), most of the fault lies with the Ivy League for (1) canceling the season and (2) waiting too long to announce the players would receive an extra year of eligibility.

This is all exactly right.  Are you feeling okay?

[Trotsky]

he needed to go to someplace that offered the grad school classes he wanted and also wanted someone of his talent to play.

That's the key: you need a place where you will get a big role and have teammates who are good enough to help you shine.  Those two requirements close in on each other.  If you go to Yale you'll play 40 minutes a night but your teammates suck.  If you go to Michigan you could win the NC$$ title on the bench.

I also seem to remember that Miami, perhaps alone among their conference, does not suck academically.  Which... I mean he might care?

Cam didn't.  ::whistle::

LOL.  They had their Princeton game.  (Or maybe RPI's good -- I have no fix on them.)

So you agree the Ivy League was wrong to cancel last season?

RPI is actually fifth in the ECAC standings, one spot behind Harvard, so it's not as monumental an upset. Plus, since starting the season 4-0, Harvard has gone 5-6-1. Princeton, meanwhile, had lost 9 straight games before it beat us.So it's not that strong a comparison.

[upprdeck]

they out shot them 40-25 and it was a 1-0 game until the ENG. RPI goalie played pretty well

Is this the same RPI team we beat 11-3 back in November?

they out shot them 40-25 and it was a 1-0 game until the ENG. RPI goalie played pretty well

And the winning goal came when an RPI guy tossed the puck toward the net and it went in off a Harvard player's skate.

I watched the third period and their D didn't look anything like what we saw in Lynah.  Plus the 5 minute major with misconduct was against Sertti so they played without one of their starting D for most of the 3rd.

I assume that you remember "Kepler's Third Law" since you wrote it.

It was a silver skate.

That's more like it.

No, of course not.

Union fired Bennett for "coaching style" which I assume means "being a shouty asshole who has kids skating until they puke and then calling them soft when they do"
