Missed Friday's game?

Watch it in its entirety here: http://www.rpitv.org/productions/496-black-friday-2012

Simpson's goal at 17:40 of the second period is worth another look or two.

All of you please enjoy your 1 number 1 vote this week and the rest in the poll from your home town writer...As for the rest of the weekend it is over and we will see what happens down at the TUC. Good luck to you the rest of the season so we can meet up again in the ECAC finals..

Glad we got out of tonight without any more injuries. I hate to say it, but I really lost a lot of respect for Appert and RPI tonight. What Curadi and Lee (the captain no less) did tonight was reprehensible.

On to Harvard and Dartmouth next week, both teams have had strong starts, should be a good measuring stick for the season. Let's go U!

What, being too tall is reprehensible?

Has nothing to do with being too tall, he ran Gostisbehere with nothing but malice. The guy has a history of doing boneheaded stuff (end of last year's playoff series) but he's a hero to your fanbase because he's huge and his mom posts here. He's nothing special as a player, doesn't play big unless he's trying to injure (that's what that hit was, don't let coachspeak from RB fool you) and wouldn't ever crack the lineup for at least half the teams in the ECAC.

Jeremy Welsh and the AHL Charlotte Checkers give back:

On the former players front... Welsh has 2 goals and an assist in 9 games this year. Julseth-White (Las Vegas - ECHL) notched his first pro goal the other night. He had no goals in four years at Union. Overall, he has 5 points in 7 games this year. He had 4 points all of last year for Union. Mingoia has a couple assists in 4 games for Tri-City (USHL).

I have always thought so.

Re: Union Hockey 2012-2013 - Unfinished Business

I was at the game on Friday night, but not Saturday. I'm an RPI fan, and have been going to games since the early '70s, and now have a son there as a sophomore...all I have to say is that you guys deserve the ranking you have. I love the way you play. Its relentless, and its fun to watch (although not against us...again). I'll probably be disowned by half the RPI community for having written the above, but honestly think that we have players to be able to play exactly like your team does....now we just need to do it. Congratulations and good luck...at least until we meet at the TUC !

Hokeydope, quit hacking Dutchfan's screen name. Either that, or you drank his kool-aid.

rdf8585 thanks as always for your updates.

Re: Union Hockey 2012-2013 - Unfinished Business

Not threatening anyone, what are you 6?
Yes Keith, you should l,look at the schools. Union again just ranked by Forbes as one of the top colleges while RPI came in in at 323, not even top 20 in NY

Cool, one source ranked Union as a top college, what was the ranking for and what was the actual rank? By the way, RPI has been consistently in the top 50 of American schools OVERALL by several sources, also been called the #4 engineering school in the world. Not even top 20 in NY? You have to be joking.

Oh wait, it's Hokydad completely skewing and cherrypicking information while looking through garnet-colored glasses again. Comparing RPI and Union in terms of academics is comparing apples and oranges nowadays, since Union is in effect no longer an engineering or hard science school. They're both excellent schools, and for different reasons. Let's keep the topic on hockey.

As for that, as a disgusted and frustrated RPI fan, I think both teams were being massively childish and got away with a lot of dirty play, and as usual the reffing was essentially non-existent/completely inconsistent. Congrats to Union, they deserved the series.

Now there's an incongruous statement if I ever did read one!!

I guess my point is while there was dirty and crappy play on both sides of the equation and the reffing was as bad as the NFL replacement refs were in their sport, Union still outworked RPI in the grand sum of it all, and hence deserved the series.

Re: Union Hockey 2012-2013 - Unfinished Business

I didnt bring that up. Just responded to it. RPI is a very good school. Call forbes and all the other rating services if you want to have them change their lists.

Should stick simply to hockey, agreed. One program is on a long term rise, one keeps going lower.

It is not listed top 20 by Forbes in 2012 for NY. It is not consistantly top 50 unless you go regional or specific type. It is not a top 50 college.

Dumb conversation as any kid should be so lucky to go there.

Because Forbes is clearly the only, and most reputable, source for such information.

Re: Union Hockey 2012-2013 - Unfinished Business

awesome!! Ranked 41st out of "national universities" which made it about 200th overall

Not interested in what it was ranked in 2008 or 2009.

It is not top 20 according to Forbes in NY as of today. I am sure Christy Brinkley was the top model in 1987.....

Still a great school and waste of time conversation, that I did not bring up. Simply responded to.

Only rankings that matter are as follows...

Where Union again is top 10 and trending/rising and RPI is not top 40 and dropping again.
