Re: RPI Offseason Part II: Mindless Drivel.

Today is 13 May 2013. There are 144 days until RPI's next game.


This is based upon 5 October 2013 for the start of next season.

You sure about this?

Thanks.

Did you notice at the end of the last thread, I was off by one day in the number of days left for about the last week? It was eventually fixed when I realized that the number of days left on Saturday wasn't a multiple of seven.

From time to time we've had discussions here about when to pull the goalie to skate 6 x 5 when trailing.

We now have a new data point for that conversation, eh?

If you are trailing by two goals in game seven of the Stanley Cup playoffs then pulling your goalie with at least 2:30 left sure looks like a good move this morning!

Add 9 to that. Or, for jericho's benefit, ^.

Yeah, but what a risk! I mean, Boston could have potentially lost 5-2!

And that just would have been turrrrrible! Julien might've lost his job if they had lost 5-2, but kept it if they lost 4-2. Quite the risk he took there, putting his job on the line!

Was the line on the game two goals?

It works best when you have a team that knows how to keep the puck in the offensive zone with the extra man. Some teams are very good at this-others not so good. I am not sure you can practice this and certainly do not understand why some teams can do it so well. What the Bruins did was just something you may never see in your lifetime again. That and the Rangers blowing out the Caps made for a very nice day watching the NHL for me.

I would think more likely closer to 18 (his weight in Stones)

Aside from an extra player on each side, how is it any different from the power play? We've had this difficulty for the last couple of years, although with Curtis Leonard and Bo Dolan getting the main point jobs, we have been doing much better on that front, and we have nowhere to go but forward (no pun intended).

According to the Homecoming schedule on RPI's alumni website, the game on October 5 is to be against St. Mary's University of Halifax, NS at 7 pm.

Anyone get the season ticket order form in the mail yet? I know the early bird return date is usually June 15, which is a month from tomorrow.

Mick Jagger doesn't weigh that much, so it could be about right.
