And giving up two-goal leads won't be tolerated.

I just hope that the team worked through the problems that they have had in the third period of every game they have played this year.
I expect to be there on Friday and I will not be comfortable with any lead going into the third period.
We have played extremely well and showed great chemistry in the first two periods of all of the games we have played so far this year, now we have to go the final 20 minutes and put some teams away.
Looking for a well played hard fought victory Friday night.Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.

Re: RPI & Union, Home & Home (11/2 & 11/3)
I really don't have a good read on Union after the first five games. Offensively they have been inconsistent and looking to at least partially fill the Welsh Zajac void. I think the lines are still being tinkered with. The top guys in my view have been Simpson Carr and Jooris. I'd love to them on a line. I don't think Grosenick has hit full stride either and it would not shock me to see Stevens get a start.
The frosh who have been most impressive to me are Gingras and Cruice.
RPI will be a very tough foe if they have improved even a little over last seasons playoff team and
I gather that they've improved more than a little.
Ghostisbehere's injury is a big issue though Union seems deep on D.
These should be two nail biters with more than a little bit of edge to them

I saw streams of line trucks on the Pike. Ironically, I saw a few dozen MidWest (Michigan) powerline trucks headed East and at least 30 Nova Scotia tagged trucks heading west on the Pike. If I didnt know better, I'd say the Army mapped out those routes....

This will be the 10th annual Black Friday game. RPI has a 7-1-1 record in these games, outscoring opponents 33-19. Only non-wins have come at the hands of Yale, which beat us 0-2 last year and tied us 4-4 in '07. We have played Union once in this game, the only Black Saturday game, and won 4-3 in overtime.
