RPI up on Clarkson in the 2nd.  Better to watch this than listen to the colornouncer.

[Iceberg]

Q is blowing out Brown but the more surprising and impactful event in UVM blowing out BC, which could have some NPI implications in the lower seed positions

RPI hung on  4-3 win and season sweep of Clarkson.

Ben Robertson has cooled off recently. Still no goals on the season and he has two points since November, both of which are secondary assists.

Karma, or BearLover's voodoo doll is working. :-) (For the record, I think it's perfectly fine that Ben R is in BL's dog house; that's how sports tribalism works.)

Q slaps Brown silly, winning 9-1, yet drops a spot in the NPI. That's going to stick in Pecknold's craw.

Eh, more people need to get punched in the face these days. I'm just impressed the guy can break a jaw at a generous 6 foot 170.

I'm kinda torn between being anti-violence generally/thinking fighting shouldn't be in hockey and, well, agreeing that more people need to get punched in the face these days.

The problem with non-violence is other people.

Amen. Legally, what a dumbass. Morally - if the story is true that the other guy was running his mouth about McKenna's mother... good for him for sticking up for her.

Yeah, like if it was truly felony assault, his mother would have been happy that he stood up for her and now she can visit him in jail. Real happy.

Sometimes you call someone a jackass and walk away.

From the main "story" going around, sounds like the "jackass" was harassing them in the bar and also waited outside the bar to continue the harassment. A little tough to just walk away. (A few stories also say the guy was trying to get handsy with McKenna's mom. Not sure how much that holds.)

Plus, 18yo, semi-famous athlete, first time offense, with all this in mind... very low chance they actually land the felony, even if they prosecuted for it, especially with the PA definition of agg assault.

Sure, should he have done it? No, bad idea either way, and he's still facing (some) legal consequences. This hopefully teaches him a valuable lesson about off-ice violence. But still.

Back then you never heard the announcer say:  "When Pottstown scores first they win 87% of the time.". First goal was just the opening bid.

Firewagon hockey.

I can't understand why it's tough to walk away? You just suck it up, say something if you want, and walk away.

You now say it was a bad idea, which seems to say he shouldn't have done it. That suggests you agree with me that walking away is best. But before you said "good for him for sticking up for her."

So was it good for him, or should he have been man enough to walk away?

Both.

Should've walked away, at minimum because of the consequences attached but also probably just a bad idea in general to get into a bar fight. But good that he stuck up for her.
