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

    Seth's problem as well as the team’s problem is finishing games. We saw Seth do a great job at the end of last year, so he is capable. Friday was good game against a good team, clawing their way back late in the game was good to see. He has to get this squad to believe they are a good team in the 3rd period.

    RPI lost one of the best goalies in the country. You simply don't adjust to that in a few games. The engineers may not have set out to change their style of play, but loosing a player like Jason will affect a team.

    Again it is early in the season adjustments need to be made especially in the last period of play. I said before that this is Seth’s best team. Seth is much better coach now than when he first arrived, but anything short of ECAC championship game and a NCAA bid would be extremely disappointing.

    If you were going to fire Seth it should have been a few years ago. Now he has proven that he can recruit, he has proven he can get a team hot and turn around a season. Last season was an incredible turn of events. He has shown his loyalty to RPI by not leaving this past summer. I would hate to think Seth’s got his chops at RPI and then went on to be successful elsewhere.

      Remember how after Kasdorf was put in net, we finished off ECAC play before the playoffs with a 12-2-2 finish (or something similar?) I'd say that who we have between the pipes has a huge effect, both due to their individual talents and the team D stepping up to help out and protect an inexperienced goaltender.

      We lose to trap teams because we don't give into them playing the trap. Remember how Cornell stopped using the trap and then suddenly had one of their worst records in a very long time?

      As much as I'd like to agree with the second part, we did get a guy go off for spearing and cross-checking and as a result nearly get disqualified for the rest of the year, when he could have easily done neither, so we're not exactly entirely innocent in this encounter here.
      Hockey is serious business. Everything else is just a game.

      RPI Hockey, Syracuse Football, New York Rangers, New York Giants.

          Union, Cornell, and Princeton. Gee, all of the teams I have mentioned previously.

            You mean a game suspension? Unless the league pulls a richard move, a year DQ wouldn't happen here. This isn't Ron Artest and the NBA.

                So after all the angst of the weekend, we've dropped only a little bit to #14 and Union has joined the ranking at #17.

                            You know what I think we all need to meet in the Field House parking lot before the next game and have ourselves a good ol' fashion king of the mountain...I mean heck we all seem to be riled up over the past weekend and have some anger to let out. First one to the top becomes King of The Internet Message Boards. Hopefully this gives everyone enough time to make it to Troy and work on some moves for getting to the top.
                            Loyality means sticking with a thing in good and bad times. Not willing to do that, stay home, I got this.

                                What, an above .550 winning pct. during 60% of his seasons and a trip to the ECAC's every other year. Explain your nonsense.
