Re: RPI @ UML (Fri, 10/9) & BC @ RPI (Sun, 10/11)
I watched most of the exhibition game. Early we seemed to be the better team with more speed and better chances. It just looked like we got either tired or complacent later and were playing an exhibition game that did not count. Defense seemed to slow down, not communicate or just get lazy. Next two games will tell us how far we are from the higher echelon teams. UML is certainly not a Canadian exhibition match up and BC, well, I am happier to get them early in the season as i am sure they will be one of the biggest challenges we face.Take the shortest distance to the puck and arrive in ill humor

Lowell hasn't played RPI since the 2012 Frozen Holiday Classic.
Once Lowell got their legs under them I thought they looked good against New Brunswick last Sunday. They got a little pass happy in the offensive zone (IMO) later in the game and should put more pucks on net. Also the finish isn't there yet; Lowell squandered a few 2-on-1's (one with no shot getting off, oy vey) and breakaway chances, but I think that will all settle down as they get into the season. Lowell's top forwards will be CJ Smith and Evan Campbell.
I don't know a whole lot about RPI. I read that they had a frosh ruled partially eligible and that he'll have to sit. I know they were picked to finished 10th in both the media and the coaches polls. Who are the players to watch for the Engineers?Lowell Forever

Third period defense was non existent. Lazy defense caused all the goals scored in that period. Hackett looked pretty good considering what was in front of him.
I hope to go to the BC game, but I will wait until after Friday's game to make that decision.
I did like the energy line, those kids are going to be fun to watch.Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.

Originally posted by lugnut92 View PostKasdorf is an amazing goalie when he's not hurt. Not quite so amazing that the Jets would choose him over your Hellebuyck, but still pretty **** good. On the offensive front, we prefer to do it "by committee" (i.e., we don't score very much). Drew Melanson is our top returning scorer, and Milos Bubela is our other main goal scorer. Lou Nanne and Riley Bourbonnais also show flashes of brilliance.
Miller also still out with wrist injury. Hopefully he is back by the ECAC opener at Union.

Anyone have any idea what Lowell's video streams are like? Looks like it'll be $10 for the one game, so I want to know if the stream is worth it.RPI Pep Band

Originally posted by turk181 View PostMiller should’ve found out on Mon. if he’ll be able to play this weekend. Tironese might be good to go but if he’s scratched it could be just a scratch. He is nicked up but not badly. Nanne probably won’t be ready till late Oct. early Nov. No, I won’t reveal injuries.

Originally posted by turk181 View Postwell, looks like what I was told concerning Nanne was wrong. Don’t like not seeing Rodriguez. He took that slash to the hand/wrist last week & never returned. He was in obvious pain when he skated off. 1st game & we’re playing D-men upfront already.....shoot me now.
BTW, nice to see the Retched finally run something on RPI sports. Their on-line site has had almost nothing on football and I think this is the first story on hockey. Maybe the print editions run more, but I can't see why anyone would actually spend money to find out.
