“Apples to Apples”, there are 4 originals remaining…..

LMAO, no dog in the fight, eh? Clearly you’ve left out that the 08 rosters for both have changed quite a bit in that 4-1 record you tout. I wasn’t going to bring this up, but since you're referring to rosters, the V is the only true Pitt based team. PPE has kids from other states, including Canada. Next year the few remaining Pitt kids will be replaced by even more imports, just like what’s gone on with the BY’s above them……so if you are one of the “originals”, hopefully your son can hang on to the dream.

Pens won this game because they out skated/hustled the Vengeance team, plain and simple. Credit to them. Hopefully these teams can play more frequently now that the ice has been broken…. In terms of your description of the game, it was a 2-1 game until a late empty net goal, so I tend to disagree that PPE “way out-skilled” the V. I also disagree with the “star forwards” being shell shocked. They’ve played in this game before, so that’s misleading. Last, the V had the toughest overall schedule last season, so I’d have to assume they’ve seen teams that move the puck….

Good point, would be fun for the kids also. Many other states do this and it seems successful.

Thanks for the advice. ??

Your mind is clearly made up and apparently you are the type that is never wrong. This conversation is beyond exhausting, even other members of this site are tired of reading.....

Very expensive!

A 3A team is one that plays the top teams in the US and Canada. Obviously Covid prevents Canada from being in the discussion. The only team that has done that is the V team. Which goes back to my point where you brought up the other local teams. Surely you can agree?? I’m not beating around the bush, and frankly, don’t owe you anything, considering I don’t even know who I’m talking to.

My threads have not once compared anyone to the Pitt Hornets. That is a conversation to be had with another person on this site.

Time to end this discussion. I will try to state my point one last time. Hopefully you can refrain from responding like a toddler. The rankings are skewed as a result of teams not including their full slate of games. I assume you can see/agree here? I know for fact that this vengeance team has games left off at the request of the opposing teams. Unfortunately for this V team, some of those wins and close losses, were against the teams I’ve mentioned many times before. Moj has also mentioned this, so maybe that will help this sink in. Since PPE has come into this, even though you say your kid doesn’t play here, my point to their schedule is they play lower ranked teams, beat them soundly, which equates to a better rating, and ranking. Unfortunately for PPE, they have not played anyone ranked higher than 15th all year. They went 0-1-1 against that 15th ranked team. With that said, this is the point I’m trying to suggest, the V team has played a very different schedule from PPE, which suggests the difference of 0.24 rating between them is horribly skewed.

Never called anyone “untouchable”, you continue to draw your own conclusions. You also continue to refuse to accept that the ratings you are so heavily reliant upon aren’t accurate. Enjoy having this conversation with someone else. Good day

Bud, the V team played a Birmingham team that was ranked 64 or whatever your top-notch research uncovered. This game was played because this team was added to a tournament in which another team dropped out. As I said, this same V team is the only local team that has played most of its schedule, reported or not, vs top teams. No other team in this area can say the same. Just because a team has 3 A’s next to their name, doesn’t make it true. Your reference to genitals and now, what I assume are special ed students, only reveal how insecure and small minded you really are. Tough-guy on the keyboard......

I’m glad you brought up reading and comprehension, because you lack both. The key to your latest thread is “as reported”. You need to also consider “not reported”, but you refuse to read and comprehend what I’ve been saying all along. Not sure how much clearer I can make it. Good luck in your endeavor to ruin this message board.

I’ll let you identify the teams in that LC’s tournament since you know all about this 08 V team. Can you name any teams in the top 10 that any other local team in Pitt has played other than the Vengeance? I’ll hang up and listen...... Your obsession with genitals is repulsive, btw.
