  • Re: RPI 2013/14: Sunny, with a slight chance of drivel

    Brandon Pirri scored his 4th of the season on a deflection against the Phoenix Coyotes. We get all their games here. Tied 4-4 now with about eighty shots on goal. Please excuse alumni thread miscalculation.

      And he scores on his first shootout attempt ever to win the game.

          My herp-derp perspective on what RPI needs to do to win these games:

          - Stay out of the box!!!
          - Play 60 minutes of hockey, not 40
          - Actually defend on the left wing (anyone else notice that Colgate had 526,372 scoring chances on this part of the ice due to RPI not having any defense over there?)
          - Stop passing the puck through the slot on the PP. It works only 5% of the time and I still don't know why we do it. Especially against good teams like Union, it won't work. Moar shots from blue line!

          Let's go Red.
          Hockey is serious business. Everything else is just a game.

            Shoot from the blue line, easy block by the forward, SHG. That's why you work a good shot. Not like we're going to get a power play (that matters) with Baker donning the stripes.

              Considering how much Nick Bailen derped on the blue line (I think we all remember that 5x3 against Quinnipiac last season, as an example), of course it's a given that you don't take a shot from there with a defenseman or forward standing 3 feet in front of you. It should be implied that I meant "smart shots from the blue line", including a good goaltender screen. But knowing how these games are reffed, we'll probably get the goal disallowed for having 0.125" of skate blade in the crease.

                On another note, I think it's that usual time to start deciding on a new thread title...

                  I was thinking the same thing. Also keep those shots low to possibly get a deflection.

                    Or Stevens will take a dive, like Kinkaid did three years ago.

                    I'm glad we can both agree on good shots that get close to the crease, even if it is to one of our forwards looking for a tip or a rebound. You don't have to talk to me about Bailen, as I believe we are the only two posters that will actually admit this obvious flaw.

                        Another question is do we start a new thread since USCHO's thread-closing Bot hasn't worked in a while?

                        My vote is to start a new one assuming someone comes up with a decent title.

                          If threads aren't being closed, why would we need to start a new one?
                          Keep an open mind. Just don't be so open-minded that your brain falls out.

                              We don't. That's what I said, but I am not one to break tradition.

                                Oh, and stay out of the box!!(Emphasis intended) Do not give the mice the chance to call 5 minute majors for borderline things(if you are going to take the penalty make it a worth while and memorable hit and take someone with you). And above all-do not give them the chance to put us down 2 men. This is an away game in a loud rink(and we have to know that the refs can be influenced by the crowd on some calls). Strongly suspect the team that wins the special teams battle wins both games.
                                Take the shortest distance to the puck and arrive in ill humor
