I worry about a lot of things, but I don't worry about how much hardware Brandon will collect before he leaves Troy.

If you want to willfully ignore the other 11 teams in the conference, I won't stop you.

Meanwhile... here.

Great stuff.

Congrats to Chase, Allen, Brandon, and Jerry.

RC,
I agree with the others, that is a great blog post.

It is my understanding that conference awards are based on conference play. In conference, Pirri is tied for 8th in points with several other players. That sounds like third team at best to me, especially for a freshman who still needs to develop the defensive side of his game.

Congrats to Brandon, Chase, Jerry and Allen on being recognized by the ECAC (coaches and media I assume) on good regular seasons. Great to see some of the members of the team recieve awards but in the end do individual awards really matter? If it gives the players a little boost to perform better great because we will need 2 maybe 3 (hopefully not ) solid 60 minute games this weekend to put away Brown.

Individual recognition is always good for both the individual and the team.
Drafted players will bring in better talent. Better talent on the team will bring in players that want to play with that talent.
The team will get more recognition from incoming recruits if they see that they can play with the best players available.
As for playing this weekend, you are right on. 60 minutes of intense hockey for two nights will put away Brown, then it is off to Union.

Re: RPI V: Chase for the Championship (and Hobey)

With a series win, we're probably off to Union...but IIRC RC's permutations correctly, there is a scenario or two which sends us back to Starr Rink.

Also, FYI - Appert will be on the radio with Scottzkie tomorrow at 11:05AM on 980AM .

Not only that, but his performance on the squat rack in the off season... I for one am looking forward to seeing the damage he'll do in the ECAC when he fills out a bit.

Only one scenario: If we win, and Clarkson beats SLU. OK, four scenarios, because the other two games are don't cares.

Even though it's forcing me to root for CCT (a mortal sin), that is the situation I'm hoping for.

Re: RPI V: Chase for the Championship (and Hobey)

The only thing RPI needs to worry about is winning this weekend and then take the next round as it comes. I do not care who they play in the next round should we win this weekend. They are not consistent enough to have us looking ahead in my opinion.

I picked the longshot of the year, 2-1. Hope the priest's box is open on Monday for both of us...

Totally agree --I was merely pointing out to EHF that should we happen to, by chance, somehow, possibly, proceed to the 2nd round, in theory, hypothetically speaking, for arguments sake, a trip to Itza Messa would not be automatic. Did I couch this post enough?
