      It seems like a smart move. Kids are committing at younger ages so the staff needs relationships with lower-level junior and prep coaches. By the time guys are in the USHL, BCHL, etc. the best ones are already committed. If they can attract coaches from some of the better NY/NJ/NE pipeline schools and programs it may pay off, albeit in 3+ years.

          No chatter on the new Las Vegas NHL club being called the Golden Knights?

          OK - I'll start...One minute and Clarkson still sucks and remember to tip your waitresses! Meh.

          What happens in Potsdam stays in Potsdam?

            Seems like a lot of the, “talking-heads”, are infatuated with the chants coming from the Nashville fans as if they’ve never heard anything like it. Here’s a suggestion from the HC of the Nepean Raiders (CCHL)......
            Brandon Pirri: Turk would give it to Jagr. That's awesome! Jagr's untouchable. And he would give it to Jagr.

              the college purists need to get over it. Nashville's atmosphere is the best thing to happen to the NHL and hockey in a long time.

                  Lighten up, Francis. The guy's just pointing out that it's not original.
                  Keep an open mind. Just don't be so open-minded that your brain falls out.

                    It's not about college purism. It's being a little annoyed that they're being held up as this bastion of creativity when most of the chants are commonplace in NCAA Hockey and they post all of them online so people can be prepared. It's a bit like Lynah; the atmosphere is great (if you don't hate Cornell), but they aren't coming up with this stuff on the spot.

                        ....like I was saying about the purists (see bold) - most of the hockey world understands the newness of the market and moves on. If you feel better denigrating them, go for it.

                              No one at RPI should be annoyed. They have stolen their share of chants from Cornell. Good for NHL to have a rink with atmosphere like that.
