Re: Princeton & Quinnipiac @ RPI & Union (11/30, 12/1)
We are coming off a two win weekend and an extra week of practice. We should be ready for this. We need to show that we can play in this league, so this is a very important weekend for the Engineers.Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.

Originally posted by Ralph Baer View PostI agree. If we don't get at least 2 points, and hopefully we will get more, we will dig a hole like last year which we won't be able to get out of.

I don't know how practices have been going but would start Kasdorf on Friday and if he plays well put him between the pipes again on Saturday. Hopefully the week off helped us to get healthy and strengthen our legs for these next for games coming up. It didn't seem to help when we played Union. Sometimes I think it hurts a team instead of helping them. No matter what we need to start earning points even though all 12 teams make the year end playoffs. Sure would be nice to have 1 home ice round of them but we need to start now to earn it and not wait till late January early February.

Originally posted by FlagDUDE08 View PostNot that it's something to shoot for, but we seem to do better in the playoffs when we have a horrendous regular season. Maybe the way to win the league is to come in dead last in the regular season. Let's see how many think I'm condoning us playing awful...

Originally posted by Ralph Baer View PostWe have never won the tourney after finishing last, although we have won the first round a few times from that position.
There have only been three teams that were on the road in the first round who made it to the championship weekend - 2004 Clarkson (#9), 2010 Brown (#11), 2011 Colgate (#12).
Finishing poorly in the regular season is not a way to generate positive results in the playoffs.
ETA: And as another note, there have only been three teams (out of 10 championship games, so 20 spots) that did not finish with a bye. And, the only one of those three to win the whole thing was playing another team that did not finish with a bye.
Winning three consecutive weekends is difficult. Don't let our somewhat anomalous recent past fool you.Last edited by burgie12; 11-28-2012, 08:45 AM.Go Red!!

Originally posted by Ralph Baer View PostI may stop starting these weekly threads soon. They don't seem to create much interest from opposing fans.
Even if the opposing fans don't always post, it's a nice way to separate game discussion from the other nonsense that sometimes goes on in our threadLast edited by REDaero91; 11-28-2012, 08:57 AM.
