I have to disagree with Clarkson's level of respect. If they're going to be cocky enough to put in their backup against us, that shows a lack of respect for their opponent, and the same goes for Harvard.

Not only did they start their backup, but Kielly didn't face a single shot in warmups. He just shot the **** with people by the bench for the whole 15 minute period.

Well he needed a rest and he got one.

I think that you are correct except that I wanted to post the Youtube link.

I thought that was the best-played weekend by the boys in quite some time. Pretty cohesive, pretty spirited play. Could have scored a few more against SLU, their time will come against CCT if they play like that.

All the noise about respect, backups, etc... I'm not sure what some of you expect. They don't play hockey by the Rules of Lord Faunterloy, and RPI has been one of, if not the EZAC doormat for the last 5 years. If you want respect, you gotta earn it, and stop whining.

Thank you to everyone who tuned into our live stream tonight. We peaked at 935 concurrent viewers, which is a new high for this season!

Just a thank you to RPI TV from a Harvard fan. Excellent coverage and I would have missed it if it was not for you.

I totally agree with everything that you said. If we could just get some consistent goal scoring the rest of the way, we could wind up in the top eight of the league.
We are getting better, but we have to score more goals.

Re: RPI Hockey 2017 - 2018: A Wealth of Notions

Clarkson may have taken RPI for granted if you look at the use of the back up goalie and the 1st stringer not warming up. But any team that doesn't recognize that RPI stayed with them for 60 minutes and, depite the final score, gave them all they could handle is doomed in the playoffs. I said early on that teams that are hard to play against, no matter where they are in the standings, can make life very difficult for other, higher ranked teams in the playoffs. Think back a few years ago to Brown kicking us around pretty good. Or, despite losing, Princeton certainly gave Union all they could handle last year. The key moving forward is putting like 3 goals a game in the net. If Ott and Gornall (next season) can provide some front of the net presence and keep the defense occupied, that should free up guys like Hayhurst and Liljegren to use their skill and speed to do the rest. I would like to see more of Burke doing the same. He is the biggest guy on the team and could use that to his advantage out in front. If they continue to skate and play like this, all bets are off in the playoffs. If the playoffs started today, they would play Yale who are playing well of late (and have played 7 fewer games than RPI). Next weekend vs Brown and Yale should be a great test for the Engineers.

If fans weren’t paying attention when they took the ice it might have appeared to be a brilliant strategy to get him used to the long stretches without shots that are characteristic of our offense.

Couldn't agree more. Well said.

With classes beginning today, what are the chances that we see Ott in the lineup this weekend?
