I >look forward to the season. Well, I can tell you that if Drop the Puck is right, the Engineers don't have any freshmen currently on their roster. They only lost one player, Allen Kummu to graduation, and the cut in scholarships from 20 to 18 probably meant Buddy didn't have anything available to offer this season. RPI only has six Ds listed, so they'll have to hope to avoid injuries there or else possibly have to move a forward back. Also, Jon isn't the first RPI player to be on HOCKEY-L...there have been others before him (also others from other schools). It's not easy for a player or coach to be able to comment publicly on a lot of things, but hopefully Jon and others will feel free to add a different insight now and then on the great sport we all love and support. On the lighter side, everyone who supports teams that play RPI will have to be careful they don't give away any secrets. :-) I remember that last season, one of my posts after a Merrimack game "mysteriously" appeared in the Maine locker room the next week before the Merrimack-Maine series. I didn't and don't post anything that anyone who saw the games or reads the papers doesn't know already, but it was interesting to see to what degree some teams go to get scouting reports. :-) Not to mention that the outcome of the series likely didn't swing on Maine reading what I wrote! (Maine won both, 14-1 and 11-2.) It was also sort of nice to see that the Maine folks considered my views valid enough to try to use them against the Warriors. :-) >But Jon, about the typos....next time don't type with your hockey gloves on. Hey, at least he'd have an excuse the rest of us don't have. :-) --- Mike Machnik [log in to unmask] [log in to unmask] Color Voice of the Merrimack Warriors *HMN* 11/13/93 (All opinions expressed above are strictly those of the poster.)
