On the ice, Wilson will be wearing the “C” and Viktor and Praps will have the “A”’s according to today’s article in the TU.

I have expressed IMHO here that Shirley has no intentions of upgrading HFH. She does not have the $$$ to do so. You have had significant upgrades on that campus (ie Empac, Football field) and really minor upgrades at HFH. I feel bad for Dave because he has to go out and explain it. I'm happy that Viktor is a Captain. He's a great individual and a terrific rep for school."Rick not want to be know as tough guy, Rick want to be known as team guy" Rick "Mongo" Bennett

Another example of what quality young men come out of the RPI hockey program. And he's still wearing his team duds!Brandon Pirri: Turk would give it to Jagr. That's awesome! Jagr's untouchable. And he would give it to Jagr.

In honor of Linden Marshall, today is 29 September 2017. There is 1 day until RPI's next game.
This is based upon 30 September 2017 for the start of next season.Last edited by Ralph Baer; 09-30-2017, 01:27 AM.

Originally posted by cmmarkham View PostI do have one small concern with Coach Smith's speech. He talked a lot, both at the season ticket party and in the quotes in the TU from him on Media Day, about how the process of becoming a better team is more important than winning. We all heard a lot of very similar remarks over the past few years - I just hope the process actually leads to something this time.

Supposedly a prediction of a top-four finish in the league, according to a quote of one of our players in the TU. I'm happy there's high hopes, but you have to be able to win more than 4 games each month to be able to do that. Have a favorable showing on at least the first 8 games, and then reconsideration will come as we head into the last 14 in 2018. No more of this "pick a month for a meltdown" stuff we had under the last dude.

We need structure, but we need to be able to show our talent within that structure. JMOThose who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.

We have had great players who went on to careers in the AHL and some (not enough) in the NHL, that were not allowed to show what they could do at RPI because of the coaches system.
