Harvard @ RPI (10/29); RPI & Union @ Harvard & Dartmouth (11/1 & 11/2)

We might as well have a single thread for both the Black Tuesday game vs. Harvard and next weekend's games.

Discuss.

Does anyone know if having Black Friday/Saturday/whatever on Tuesday is affecting ticket sales?

Is RPI seriously promoting Tuesday's October 29 game vs. Harvard as "Black Tuesday"? Because back on October 29, 1929, this happened:

Wouldn't be surprised to see it happen again.

Yes, they are, and I'm sorry if you don't get it.

I have enough trouble getting through when I want to buy tickets.

Why would anyone here know?

Attendance has been about the same for each game so far this year. Of course, every home game has been on a Saturday. I would expect the usual 3500 or so being that it's the first ECAC game with the minus being played on a week night.

With this being a week night game-and with Harvard being notorious for not having much of a fan base travelling to our games-perhaps the HFH should have offered a 2 for 1 deal for this game? If this was a game with Union/Clarkson/Cornell it would not be necessary but getting people into the seats for Harvard/Princeton/Brown mid week is just not likely.

Harvard goalie Raphael Girard warmed up for this week's action with a 43-save shutout against Bentley Saturday night.

IIRC, Girard was a tough nut for RPI to crack last season, posting a 1.50 GAA in two games against the Engineers.

Bear in mind that the first Harvard game was A) a shutout for Harvard, B) took place before the cheaters left school, and C) took place during a "message-sending" game by RPI, wherein several healthy scratches were in the stands and RPI had a short bench.

Some people here seem to be in contact with just about everyone connected to RPI hockey.

I had remembered A.

Thanks for reminding me about B and C. Makes me feel a little better.
