Friday
RPI: Matt Tinordi

Saturday
RPI: Milos "Bubala" Bubela
Paste: Kulevich

Ed Weaver's article states that Bubela has a lower body injury and may not play. Then again he might.

New post so I don't screw up the time on the old one by editing it...ignore the last three lines, I copy/pasted the ineligibles for reference and forgot to delete them.

Three points at home and two on the road is the key to securing a bye, right? Well, they're right on target so far. Unfortunately, three points at home will not get you the PtC win. Congratulations to 1988 on his second win of the season, having garnered 6 PtC points!

Friday, the Engineers put together a good second period and were up 3-1 with just 12 minutes to play, but could not hold on, giving up two extra attacker goals in the last 1:30 of the game, settling for their second 3-3 tie of the young ECAC season. Guy Leboeuf scored RPI's first goal of the night. Joakim Ryan had a pretty good night for the Big (Faux) Red, scoring twice and assisting on the game-tying goal. Neither Leboeuf nor Ryan were selected. In fact, there were just seven points scored by four posters on Friday.

Saturday was a penalty-filled affair with three majors called against RPI's skaters. But, the PK team hunkered down and helped steer the Engineers to victory. Mark McGowan (nobody) put together a 4 PtC point night, scoring the game-winner, assisting on Leboeuf's second goal of the weekend, and also assisting on Laliberte's goal, RPI's fifth of the night. Andrew Black (nobody) and Tylor Spink (1988, myself, ehf, lugnut, MavHockey, REDaero, RKarger, and TuteScrooge) were Colgate's goal scorers, making them worth 2 PtC points each.

Not a whole lot of movement in the standings. vizoroo was the only poster to not tally a point this weekend. TuteScrooge jumped from 9th to 5th and there's now a 4-way tie for 6th place at 24 points. RKarger holds onto the overall lead and stretches it to 3 points.

Link back to the title post with details on scoring

Today begins the glorious #HateUnionWeek!

Unfortunately, RPI's recent record against Union is not exactly stellar. They do still have the upper hand on the overall record, but it's certainly fallen back towards 0.500 over the past few years.

They will be playing a home-and-home, and your picks for the two nights cannot be the same, so you will have four different players across the two nights.

Both Capital District teams sit in "2nd" place in the standings with 6 points each. RPI gained three points against their CNY foes, tying Cornell and defeating Colgate. The Dutchmen split, dropping their game against the Raiders before shutting out the Big (Faux) Red.

You may not choose the following players for this game:
RPI - Ryan Haggerty
Union - Daniel Carr NOR Mat Bodie

Statistics / Rosters:
Rensselaer: Statistics | Roster
Union: Statistics | Roster | KYE

LGR!

Keep an eye out for the injury report this week. Hopefully we don't have a couple people burned by picking injured players again.

The one thing I hate about weeks where we have the same opponent: My strategy is an automatic backfire.

Friday:
RPI - Brock Higgs
#26 - Colin Stevens

Saturday:
RPI - Jacob Laliberté
#26 - Alex Sakellaropoulos

I don't think that we usually get injury reports. The info usually comes in newspaper articles or blogs. Watch out for the possibility that RPI's Schroeder and/or Miller get suspended. Neither deserves it, but this is the ECAC.
