I almost forgot one. After re-reading my previous post, I omitted forward Nate Dumm. He's playing with extra large stones this season and is a key senior leader thus far. A pleasure to watch

I have not seen this at any other site. Evaluation of these players by name is very inappropriate. And you did it twice. These are high school kids who play the game for many other reasons then so you can write about them. "Player A looked good...Player B had a great game in the nets..." these are fun to read. Mid Season review...are you actually going to do it again? Don't...its inappropriate if your a student/athlete and if your an adult you should be ashamed and if you got a kid on the team WOW...I'm speechless. Your kid would be embarassed.

Sorry that you're so offended. Was merely commenting on a post(s) by many others. Perhaps you didn't read the whole thread. No different than a topic about Budish being a hack, or the best sophomores. I made no statements that should have been deemed offensive. Again, apologies you're so distraught over this, but no apology offered for my comments, and to answer your question, No, I do not plan to post another mid season review, however, I may post a thought or two about this topic once the season has reached the finish line.

Have you actually read just about any thread on this forum and seen all of the names mentioned?

If you look back on the thread, "Former Indian" did it the first time.

I don't think anything was said that would embarrass anyone.



Hey Arch, have you actually watched Rapids play? GR is pretty close to dead on with most of his opinions.

I don't think you need to apologize at all... I thought it was very informative to hear about the boys from Rapids.

I though it was well written and not offensive at all. Lee, would like you to
evaluate the Hounds, some of them need to read what is lacking, from goaltending to the D to the some of the forwards who aren't working hard enough.

Mr. Sign has been a pest to GR3343 and I on here since day one. It must be a problem deeper than the forums go.

Maby its time to realize(sp) minnhock is not for you, every time I read one of your posts your cutting down or telling other posters they are wrong. I think its time to pack your bags and join a more PC web site!

Wow....you guys are good...I try to stick up for a group of kids whom I feel have gotten the worst of the posting since the beginning of the year and as a group you jump to the defense of the person writing to post.

If this is such a common practice why don't we see a break down of each of the other teams in the state. I thinks its because most people know its not appropriate to spill the beans on your own program. If he is so dead on and probably a freind of the program why would you share that information with the rest of the section.

I love reading what you people have to say, most of the time it's fun to read.

Still confused how breaking down each position with comments about that is divulging "secrets". Also, still confused with how this is negative towards the players. Using such words as "great senior leader" and "hard worker" I know would really upset me. And if you spent some time actually reading the "bored", you'll see analysis of most of the kids in the upper echelon programs. Exactly what am I spilling the beans about? Any of the comments stated are obvious to anyone watching. I'm quite certain coaches are not coming on the forum to gain knowledge about other teams. I think that's what they have someone on their staff for. I believe they're called coach's and scouts. As stated before, all thoughts written here are opinions, not fact. If people agree with them, then great, if not, oh well. Not a single opinion stated about how the Indians are doing at mid season was an attack on a player. The comments made were just that, opinions. Maybe you should re-read them. For whatever reason, you didn't seem to get what you were looking for the first time.

I know many of the kids on the team they don't need you sticking up for them (DAD).

One other player of note, and again, sorry for forgetting, is J.R. Maki. A big, strong forward who always gives his best effort. No team is complete without a kid like him.(Hope that's not giving away too much of the team secret, after all I kept it to myself about Coach LaRoque's new, super secret Flying V...oops)
