Re: RPI & Union @ TUC (Saturday, 1/26/13)
I really hate this. We get on a roll, playing our best hockey of the year, and we have to play a game that means nothing.
Sure beating Union will be good for our confidence, but that won't put any points on the board.
Waste of time at this point in the season.Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.

Originally posted by Ralph Baer View PostWhen can look at from another point of view, if we defeat them now, they will be less likely to look past us in the playoffs, not that I expect that to happen in any case. As to the league, I doubt that many regard us as pushovers. It isn't as if we have been blown out by any league opponent since Harvard.Take the shortest distance to the puck and arrive in ill humor

Originally posted by DrDemento View PostI look at the Dartmouth/Harvard weekend as a total anomaly. Injured, in disarray and with coach SA sending this team a strong message-play or sit! Will be very interrested in seeing how we play these two teams at HFH. I am just reserving judgement a bit-i want to see how we do in the next 2-4 league games that count. This coming weekend means very little to me.

There's been a lot of talk elsewhere about either coach not going with his best lineup. That's not going to happen. Locally this game has been getting a lot of press and a big buildup. Neither coach will risk looking bad by treating this as an exhibition game. Both teams have good goaltending options so the selection of the starter doesnt negate my point even if its not Kasdorf or Grosenick. Besides, if current trends continue both teams could be TUCs. Finally I'll throw in the 7 game streak. Appert wants it to end and you know Bennett wants to keep it going.

Originally posted by DrDemento View PostAfter winning the two games at home-i would rather we just continue the ECAC league schedule. We do not need this game in the way. I'm sure someone will add that we could use it for confidence-baloney-we have gained a lot of that already and this is merely a chance for someone to get hurt. It means little or nothing. just my 2ยขBrandon Pirri: Turk would give it to Jagr. That's awesome! Jagr's untouchable. And he would give it to Jagr.

Whatever lineup the coaches decide to throw out there, they will be playing to win the game.
As I said before, I hate having this weekend in the middle of the real schedule. Should be played much earlier in the schedule if at all.
Is there any chance that RPItv will be on hand to stream this game?Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.
