Re: RPI Hockey 2017 - 2018: A Wealth of Notions
Well there was no" resilience" against Dartmouth. As I said before......Gaudet is a good coach. Graber is an exceptional player. Dartmouth came to play and play they did. Their forecheck was intense and smothering and they play their positions very well. They are big, fast, and are hard to play against. They will give Union all they can handle tonight. RPI looked flat, not ready to play. They only had one game this weekend and left an awful lot off the ice. My take away is that RPI did not look like they were having fun out there. Again, Marshall gave up a few he shouldn't have, but he had little help. I am glad St Denis was given a (brief) opportunity. I hope Liljegren is OK, but it did not look promising as he left the ice. RPI has to win all it's remaining games to match last season. They can mail me my refund for the 1st round playoff tickets any day they want. And some people here thought having the last game be the freakout was a bad idea. Any port in the storm......

Even in the losses, they have been competitive and they have played with way more intensity than in previous years. I for one like the direction that we are going in. Marshall has certainly let in his number or soft goals, but he is a freshman and looks really good for the future.
I wouldn't be looking for any refunds, as the team has shown that they can beat anyone when they play to their potential.

Re: RPI Hockey 2017 - 2018: A Wealth of Notions
Dartmouth, after walking all over RPI, goes to Union and outplays an illness weakened team and a hot goalie and can't seal the deal. Because Union is a resilient team. Also of note.....Cornell has 2 goals in last 3 games. That won't fly in the playoffs. And their Captain is out for the year. So the question will be in the ECAC, who fills that void? I suspect Union is that team and will be back in the top 20 this week. And they certainly deserve to be. But I don't see the ECAC having any impact on the NCAA's. Nor Hockey East. That won't bode well for attendance at the East and Northeast regionals.

Re: RPI Hockey 2017 - 2018: A Wealth of Notions
I guess my point re: refunds is there won't be any home ice this year ( and that was probably the case a few weekends ago). And I agree there have been ups this year, just like there were last year and the years before. There were bright spots then ,too. I am not giving up. I have stuck it through for over 25 years and I plan to continue. I will give Coach Smith his opportunity to put his stamp on this team. And I am realistic. We will likely never be a perennial top 4 in the ECAC. . But roller coasters are thrill rides. Just haven't had enough arms in the air, screaming moments on this version.

Somehow I missed this RPI connection.
If you’re watching Team USA vs Olympic Athletes from Russia in women’s hockey right now (started at 7:10am ET), and want someone to root for, let me suggest #6 Kali Flanagan. Her father, Bill Flanagan, played for @RPI_Hockey from 1986-1990. pic.***********/aohAnWPpVp
