Re: >>> RIT Tigers 2016-17: That was fun; let's go for three!
I'm more encouraged by the other AHC teams inability to win their exhibition games than anything else. Niagara and RMU both tied and Holy Cross won...but only after giving up 5 goals. Army tying Colgate may be an early indicator that they will remain a surprisingly good team this year.
As for RIT I think we were clearly shaking A LOT of rust off, but by the end of the game you could tell they were skating with more confidence and were making better decisions (and passes). Rotolo didn't have to work at all, Short had to work on the 5v3 and stopped a breakaway. But I agree it's Rotolo's net to lose for his senior year.
