    I don't know what "better" means.... . I do know that the better teams in our league are traveling in the early going:

    Cornell @ MSU 11/1-11/2
    Q@ ASU 11/1- 11/2
    CCT @ UM 10/11- 10/12
    CCT @ Sconny 10/25-10/26
    Princeton @ St Cloud 11/1-11/2

        Does anyone expect Princeton to be one of the better teams in the upcoming year?

          Thanks for your writeup.
          Weren't they using 7 defensemen? They were at UConn so the pairings started as fixed but later in the period they often had mixed pairs out there. At this point in the season I think it's OK to be testing out different groupings but I hope they become relatively stable heading into the heart of the league schedule. Of course, with injuries and a big roster (16 forwards and 9 or 10 on defense depending on Helsen's status) we'll probably see some mixing and matching all season long.

            I actually do think they could be in the upper 6-7 by the end of the year ...they have a big freshman class like us. I'm in the minority perhaps.

              If it was the UMass game, then it wouldn't have been odd... big ice and a lot of team speed for Minutepersons.

                So far the only one who has picked them higher than 8th is Lugnut's random number generator. https://board.uscho.com/showthread.p...ings-2019-2020

                          Lost a ton of offense via graduation: 4 out of top 5 scorers are gone (Kuffner, VĂ©ronneau, Riche, Teves). That's a lot to have to make up to improve on last year's performance, which was itself disappointing after winning the ECAC tourney in 17-18 and having most of their top players back.

                            Seth Appert always had us starting the season against much tougher opponents, and while I think you can learn a lot from playing the best teams, you cannot learn how to win.
                            Winning is contagious and if we can start with a three game winning streak, it can build up the confidence we need to go on from there.
                            But as the good Doctor always reminds us, RPI plays to the ability of our opponent. If we lose one of these games this weekend, we will be questioning ourselves, and that will not bode well for the future of this season.
                            I expect two wins this weekend, but that means nothing. We still have to play the games.

                            Lets go red!!!!!!
                            BINGO!!! As usual, we agree. If nothing else, last night showed us that we still have quite a distance to go. But not to be too pessimistic. There is a lot of interesting freshman talent that could emerge. Just looking for any bright spot right ow and having scored 10 goals in our first 3 games is something to smile about. We have to settle down the defense deep in our own zone, stop what appears to be wide open men in our zone on odd man rushes, and most importantly, settle on one goal tender who can give us a solid evening consistently.You do not win many games at this level giving up 5 goals and although we are showing that we can score a bit more than we have the past few years, if we can get our GAA under 3, this could turn out to be a far better year than many have predicted.

                                Doc I'm sure you were into the Van Gogh last night but after about 2 minutes into the first period we were never in the game the ECAC refs tried to even it up a little in the 3rd with penalties but it didn't help. That's just my humble opinion from the cheap seats
