Which RPI team will show up in Troy next weekend? The one who lost to Harvard, or the one who beat Dartmouth?
Will I regret going to Troy for this weekend?
I don't think there is all that variation to the team that we have put on the ice for each game so far. We just did not seem to match up as well with Harvard as we did with some other teams and we allowed them back into a game we should have been able to clamp down on. We played well at BC only to run into a buzz saw once adaptations were made-and i think we plain ran out of gas. I think if coach SA has this team ready and prepared for the C and C weekend-making whatever changes necessary(in the ECAC it is almost impossible to approach each game with the same plan)-we should be fine. Too early in the season to know how well each team is beginning to mesh. I can only suggest that most of us did not think we would be 5-2-1 at this stage and near the top of the country in goals scored and winning goal margin. When our number 1 goalie went down to injury-did anyone feel that we would replace him with one who is in the top 5 in several categories? Scotty has faced over 170 shots and allowed only 10 goals. Let's Go red-make this weekend count!!
Take the shortest distance to the puck and arrive in ill humor
Hopefully not the one wearing the Black Tuesday uniforms. (Sounds like a good roadtrip... while we may have to watch our matchups with a team like Harvard, the game was decided by a puck bounce or two... and Dartmouth may be in for a long season.) Let's get up for the C&C weekend... after all Ralph's coming up for it.
FRIDAY’S OFFICIALS: The referees for Friday’s game against Cornell are Harry Dumas and Bob Ritchie ... The linesmen are Leo Boylan and Dan Taggart.
SATURDAY’S STRIPES: Officiating the game on Saturday are Kevin Curtis and Harry Dumas (referees) and Bill Bredin and David Brown......http://www.rpiathletics.com/document...ME.pdf?id=1684
Brandon Pirri: Turk would give it to Jagr. That's awesome! Jagr's untouchable. And he would give it to Jagr.
On paper both Union and RPI should handle Colgate, but that's a dangerous assumption. Generally, RPI seems to match up better with Cornell than Union over the past several seasons, but I guess we'll see. Kasdorf's injury is troubling but Diebold has obviously shown that he can handle the task. The real concern would be injury to him with an untested freshman as the only backup. These should be great games, with great college hockey atmosphere.

Other way around. I don't know if we've ever matched up well vs. Cornell. Just gotten lucky a few times.

I guess matchup may have the wrong term. But some wins of late was what I recollected. Union on the other hand IIRC has a pretty long loss streak going against them.
