RPI Hockey 2017 - 2018: A Wealth of Notions

Perry wouldn't be able to transfer; he's already done that once. And given Marshall's been doing halfway OK (maybe with a little more training he'll be very solid), would have to be either St. Denis or McBain.

I meant St. Denis, not McBain. Sorry.

I have the gut feeling that Coach Smith went to see Savory's early morning game today and got a commitment after it was over. (Both Jewell and Graham follow Savory on Twitter.)

Edit; The "early morning game" has disappeared from the website.

With UNH coming to Troy in a couple of days, let us not forget Rube Bjorkman.

Pardon me for forgetting, I'm not as old as you are.

Also, I have a great line for when Savory makes a save......

I don't know what RPI was thinking about at the beginning of Saturday night's game, but 20 seconds after the opening faceoff, they were down 1-0. One could surmise that if they'd kept the puck out of their net for the first minute, the Engineers might have survived Brown's three-goal rally and won in regulation.

I don't know what RPI will be thinking about at the beginning of Wednesday night's game, either, but they'd better not come out for the opening faceoff still moping about what happened on Saturday. If they do, I expect UNH will be only too happy to take advantage, just as Brown did.

I’m glad you Posted this, I thought the game was Tuesday . Man, did I get my balls busted today at the rink over Sat.’s game

Actually he was a year before I showed up at RPI.

So, it was your fault that we gave up the lead.

I think he was referring to turning pro, not transferring.

That game wasn't lost at 1-0. Games you lead by 3 goals need to be Ws. Always. Period. Why Smith didn't call a TO at 4-2 or 4-3 to administer team-wide smelling salts is a mystery.

I think so too.

However, St. Denis is the more likely one.

Clarification question on the 5 year plan: How is St. Denis considered a freshman this year for eligibility, and not a sophomore? Wasn't he at RPI last year, even though it was only a partial year? Did he redshirt? Does a partial year count towards a full year?

You have 5 years to play 4. So last year is a half year of hockey. He has 3 full seasons and a half of a season that he could still play. Now as far as the number of goaltenders on a roster. Smith during his tenure at Canisius had as many as 5 goaltenders on his roster. Last season he had 4 and Canisius has 4 goaltenders this season.

I don't think it works exactly like that. Its how many games you play in a season, ie for a medical redshirt, (not the same as redshirt) if you play under 30% you can claim it a free year so to speak. Typically it 5 to play 4, barring other circumstances

From UNH game notes: "YORK AMONG LEADERS
