        I guess Jeff managed to miss the Dartmouth boys attrocious
        behavior at the Houston Field House when RPI pummeled the big
        green into submission (I believe the final score was 9 to 4 even
        though Masotta was in goal) two weeks earlier.
 
        The many cheap shots and attempts at injury at the end of the game
        committed by the green boys were a blight on what would have been
        an extremely enjoyable game of hockey with stellar performances by
        a wide variety of RPI players (even a hat trick for Mr. O'Conner).
 
        If people intend to bad mouth other people's teams they should first
        check their facts and not go making insulting remarks ( Those in
        glass houses, etc...).
 
                                 Just sticking up for my team,
                                        Bryce.
 
                P.S. sorry about the previous "boo hoo" post, I was just
                     venting some steam.
