-- [ From: Adam Wodon * EMC.Ver #2.10P ] -- Responsding to what Mike said about Walsh, I agree completely. Despite maybe coming across harshly (mostly because I felt others were giving him too much benefit of the doubt) I will re-iterate what I said way back at the start: I too found Walsh to be a very good guy. He gets a print out of list info, for heaven's sake, so he has to be "hip." <G> He also took time to personally thank me for broadcasting the games in L.A. last year in place of Joe Carr. And, as I said before as well, I like the way his teams play, and they are always fun to watch. But, as Mike said, none of this is an excuse. Finally, about Bill Riley -- a very good point that I forgot about -- because he happens to be close to Princeton coach Don Cahoon, and I have met him, and he is also a good guy. But he got himself in a situation, and he paid. That's all. Just like in society, I think empathy, understanding, etc... is very important, because I think most people are generally good, even if they get into trouble, but I also believe in accountability for one's own actions. So we can sympathize, yet still act. AW HOCKEY-L is for discussion of college ice hockey; send information to [log in to unmask], The College Hockey Information List.
