Pirri only scored 11 goals in his one season at RPI and was third in RPI goal scoring that year. That has been beaten quite a few times since. Certainly Haggerty in his last season qualifies.
Had Pirri stayed, he might have had the most goals.

I loved Haggerty, but Pirri could sit in a spot and score on a one timer. We need someone who can do that. Someone that the opposition has to pay attention to and give space to his linemates. We just haven't had that guy.
I did like DiGrande's goal, he has quick hands. But I would have liked it better if he scored on the shot.

Yeah, what could’ve been with Pirri but Haggs potted 28 & Polacek had 26 & 22 back-to-back. Paul Kerins was actually the 2nd leading goal scorer in 09-10 with 18 but I wouldn’t call him a sniper.

Nope, just as invisible as last year.

Don't all of the lots have different colors in order to be able to tell them apart? Material's probably less easy to break apart.

I don’t think this team’s priority issue is a sniper, so I don’t have a strong opinion. Cohesive, competitive play for 3 periods that looks like hockey feels like the “crawl-before-you-wall” moment here.

Anyways, for all you podcast guys, (and if you’re not, this is a good one) Adam Oates was on the Spittin Chiclets pod, and was fantastic covering a lot of ground, including some good Brett Hull stories. He also holds Coach Addesa in high regard and talks about why he left when he did for the pros. It’s a must listen for those who followed the team in his time.

I was at the UMASS game last night. I hope UMASS is a very good team. RPI PP needs different strategy. It seemed the UMASS forwards pressured the points intercepted many point to point passes for breaks. UMASS didn't worry about leaving 3 on 2 down low. RPI looked better 5 on 5 even had some good play especially in first period. Will watch tonight. RPI will be better. LGR.

I heard a number of SH chances as well. How often, would you say, a certain drafted player was out there when they happened?

I kept looking for a big play from a draftee. On the PP their forwards played high and pressured the points. On one SH UMASS had a 3 on 2. RPI will do better tonight on smaller ice.
