So... let's hope for ties all around the AHA tonight?

Good game tonight. RIT dominated play more than the 3-1 score suggests. The 36-16 shots tells a more realistic story.

Well, the last few games it appears the Tigers' offense has reverted to this season's first half tricks again. Plenty of shots and "dominating" play with little or no resluts. What happened to the way they played in Vermont, against Wisconsin, Bentley, and Sacred Heart? With the stretch of five games they have left, they had better find it quickly, or they'll be playing on the weekend of the 2nd-3rd.

If we're going to be honest, the only series you mentioned that the Tigers offense really exploded was the Sacred Heart one...and they're the worst defensive team in Atlantic Hockey. The only real impressive opponent they've put up more than 3 goals against is Mercyhurst. If you take out the 10 goal explosion, I don't see a lot of difference between RIT's 1st half and 2nd half offensive output. They're just going to have to win with defense and opportunistic scoring, like they did last night. I don't think a lot of teams will beat them when they score 3 goals and limit the opposition under 20 shots.

When you look at the league in general, it is the year of the goaltender. All the contenders have good goaltending, and that is limited scoring everywhere. I don't think you will see many 4 goal games against teams in the top 3/4 of the league. Bottom line is all you need to do is score one more than the opposition, and RIT has one of if not the best goaltender in the league.

Scary as it may be, the AHA tournament will likely come down to which goaltender is hot at that time, and there are a number of candidates that will be up to the task.

Well, AFA and Mercyhurst won unfortunately, but the good news is that we have put some space between us and RoMo.

Also, Torf has started 3 games in a row and has allowed only 2 goals, and has 2 shutouts. Looks like he is back to form.

I am more concerned about Bentley and Holy Cross making gains as they have easier schedules and are working their way to the top 4.

Can someone post the link to the hockey standings site that gives the scenarios for the end of the regular season? I can't find it. Thx.

RIT moves back into second place with another dominating performance. Offense got on track and got 5, including a gorgeous shorty by Noyes. Defense was a bit weak, but if you don't count the goal that Canisius literally threw into the net it was a 2 goal night for them.

It's a little funny to me that Noyes by far had the best, most impressive breakaway compared to the two forwards who failed to even make a move before that. Either way, great to see Noyes contributing this year, this kid has potential. And of course, Garbowsky continues to put the team on his back, too. Love how hard he plays.

Looking forward to the RoMo series next week.

How about Greg Noyes?! What a beautiful breakaway, deke, and goal (2).

Re: >> RIT Tigers 2011-12 Part II: Making Some Noise at the House that Roars <<

The Noyes was brought.

I saw on Twitter that Canisius was having a fan bus to the game. Did they end up having many fans? It was hard to tell on the tv broadcast.

They had quite a few that were heard when they scored their goals. More fans than opposing teams usually have at the Ritter, but nothing too impressive.

Actually, that was a good goal. Moser gloved the puck down to the opposite side of the crease and swatted it in with his stick. What was really painful (and frankly embarassing) was listening to the TWSC idiots try to figure out on the replay why it was a good goal. It was obvious that after awhile someone had to get on their headset and tell them that you can glove pass to yourself.
