    Not much has ever "always seemed to spring up" after Friday night wins at Air Force. I don't think the Tigers have had very many of those, ever.
    Can't we all just get along?
    Always remember... This is just a game we're talking about here. Let's not take it all too seriously.

        Awesome, Great chance to get the 3rd string goalie some game time. ;-(

        Hopefully Short or Rotolo will be able to answer the bell this weekend. I guess it doesn't really matter. If Amato plays, or a less than healthy Short/Rotolo, the guys in front of them are going to have to tighten things up and protect them.

        Oh, by the way, can I change my picks for this weekend? Just kidding.....

          Yeah if Amato has to start this weekend that is probably a bad time. He's not necessarily a bad goalie but he's not a D1 goalie and AIC is not the completely anemic team they once were..

              I've been interested in seeing Amato play all year - and if there's any game to put him into, it's this one. AIC is last in team offense and last in team defense, allowing 3.74 goals a game. Given RIT's 2nd place team offense (3.27/game), I'd say put Amato in. He'll be fired up to "prove" himself DI-worthy and to even have the chance.

              I'm not sold on Short by any means. He's progressed well, he's got a good future here. But I want to see Amato play tonight if Short is indeed hurt.

                According to yesterdays radio interview, Wilson said Amato will be in net Friday. He also said Short is day-to-day, while Rotolo is still week-to-week.

                I'm looking forward to see how the rest of the team rallies to give Amato the support so that he can succeed.

                    It is never a good time to have your top two goaltenders go down, but if it had to go through it at least it happening when you playing the bottom two teams in your league. I looked at this weekend as a must sweep if the Tigers want a chance at a regular season title. Anything less than 2 points really opens the door to possible following lower than 5th. As great as a guy Amato is and the nice story that comes with him, you got to consider him a big unknown in nets tonight. AIC will probably throw everything at the net to see if he panics...

                        Well per Chris Lerch Amato is definitely in tonight: https://***********/chrislerch/statu...48819880914945

                        Not getting a sweep against AIC at home would be very bad, but this certainly makes that feel like a possibility. It's not that Amato is bad, it's that he was never meant to be a D1 goalie in the first place..

                          It's great to see Tanev being so successful for Vancouver. He has played almost 300 NHL games and has a total of 36 PIM. That's really impressive stuff. He definitely has hockey smarts. Every once in a while, when I need a pick-me-up, I watch/re-live his goal vs. Denver. It may have been an offensive play, but his ability to read that play as it happened is something you don't see very often.

                          And I really miss watching the Tanev/Ringwald pairing. So much fun to watch.

                            Wow, what an opportunity for Amato. Should be interesting to see him in net, and to see how the guys respond tonight.

                              It will be interesting to see if they get anyone for an emergency backup. (if that's even possible)

                                At this point I don't think it is, you can sneak a guy in during semester break, Niagara did it just this year. With the semester going I don't think you can unless there some rule I don't know about.

                                I wouldn't call it all doom and gloom with Amato tonight, he is an unknown. I think the coaching staff has to have some confidence in him otherwise they would never have asked him to come up from the club team...
