Cornell just beat Yale, so we're headed to the playoffs no matter what.

Re: RPI Engineers 2018-2019

I am dumbfounded, and over the moon. We beat Princeton, on their home ice, the same way that we always win. Strong goaltending, discipline, tough defence. I LOVE this year's version of the Engineers! Most years, I overestimate RPI...but this year I have tended to sell them short. They have already exceeded my expectations for the year...now let's finish it off with a strong final weekend and a playoff performance like no other.

RPI lost to QU 4-0. LS made 37 saves, bringing her to 3890.

LS made 57 saves vs. PU. that gives her 3947. She needs 147 more.

Fixed your post. Trying to inflate her stats Ralph.

That's 37 per game for the uncontested record (if we get swept). Not a crazy number, especially if we keep giving up this many shots. If everything plays out according to our averages, she'll end up 9 short.

and none of the games are going to be against easy opponents.

Big win for RPI.

I feel like a downer saying it, but I feel like there's no way she's in the Hat Trick. If she puts up a couple 40-save shutouts this weekend and we end up fifth in the league, maybe, but I feel like she'll be pushed aside for someone with flashy offensive numbers on a team with a better-than-.500 record (yes I know if we win both, we'll be over .500 too). She's been amazing, but her .945 isn't unprecedented and is well below the .965 Ann-Renee Desbiens won with a couple years ago. Further, all three goalies to have won led teams with winning percentages in the .800s, not a .515 (at best).

I want her to win, but I fear the team is going to drag her down.

All three played behind offenses that scored more than 1.31 goals per game. I agree that it will be tough for her to win, but I think that she's done what she could do.

A couple of zeros on the weekend would be nice however she has not been as efficient against the top 4 ECAC teams this year with the exception of last weekend’s stoning of Princeton. It would be nice to see more of that on the weekend. It could help her position herself in the top 3.

Sure. Obviously Lovisa can only do so much, but I wouldn't be surprised if the lack of team success was subconsiously held against her.

RPI lost 8-2 to Cornell. Selander made 16 saves before being pulled. She needs 131 more.

Re: RPI Engineers 2018-2019

Two losses and we're headed to Cornell.

Congratulations to Lovisa for hitting 4000. The undisputed record seems out of reach unless we can steal one.
