I don't remember feeling worse than I did last night after any other RPI game I've watched (potentially excepting the Game 3 loss to Dartmouth in 2014). Terrible.RPI Pep Band

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

The key is going to be situational recovery. Do we learn from it? Or do we make the same mistake again? We know the choice a number of years ago, what do we choose this time?

Re: RPI Hockey 2017 - 2018: A Wealth of Notions
I don't think the first goal by Brown really had an impact on the game. These things happen and RPI had 59 minutes to recover and reverse that goal. And they did. I agree time out would have helped when Brown was on the comeback trail and was building a full head of steam in the last half of the third. But more importantly, taking an offensive zone penalty at a critical time in the game was a HUGE mistake. I could understand taking a holding call or interference in the defensive zone because you are tired and the other team is swarming. But to skate down the ice behind their net and just pull the legs out from the defender. There was no attempt to play the body there. It looked almost like he thought about doing it and said, "What the hell." That, to me, was the sign RPI was going to lose. That would have been a good time for the TO. Seeing your team give up goals and then become very undisciplined was a sign that the reset button needed to be pushed. All that said....it might turn out to be the best thing that happens to this team. IF they learn from it? And if they go into the game Wednesday with the attitude: "We just came back from Ireland and we had two games just a few days ago. We're tired. And....", well then you will have your answer. The ghost of coaches past rattling the chains in the locker room. I know, I know all the Bah Humbug gloom and doom. But I very much hope it doesn't happen that way.

Re: RPI Hockey 2017 - 2018: A Wealth of Notions
I stand corrected....Jacob Appert. Woooooo. Was there a door knocker on Dave Smith's office door when he first moved in? Although I looked up Appert's USTDP Under 18 team and they seem to be doing pretty well. But then again when you get the players who are the cream of the crop, the winning is much easier.

Re: RPI Hockey 2017 - 2018: A Wealth of Notions
We have a new goalie recruit who is a '97, so he must be for next season. My guess is Perry is leaving.
Edit: On second thought since he is from the GOJHL, McBain may be more likely,.Last edited by Ralph Baer; 12-04-2017, 11:52 AM.
