First meeting of the year between the Liberty League rivals. Quite late in the season for that.

Re: RPI & Union @ Clarkson & SLU (2/8, 2/9)
Always a tough trip for us-earlier this year it looked like this was not going to be the usual difficult time. But Clarkson and SLU are both playing very well lately and we will have our hands full. This past weekend we had great success-but we only had a few penalties called in both games. i would not expect that up north-we have to try to keep the games from becoming special teams games-our power play was just abyssmal against DC tonight. Keep the games 5 on 5 and we have a chance for a very decent weekend. Go Red!Take the shortest distance to the puck and arrive in ill humor

Hmmm... RPI is in a five-way tie for 6th in the ECAC. Clarkson, Colgate, Princeton and RPI are 5-6-3 with 13 points. We're one point out a tie for 5th (SLU, 14 pts) and three points out of a tie for 3rd (Union and Dartmouth, 16 pts).
We're on the road with two teams immediately ahead of us (and they'll be coming to HFH soon)... let the fun begin!Here we come!

Originally posted by DrDemento View PostWithout looking it up-I can remember only 3 or 4 times in the years I have followed RPI hockey. Once of course was 1985-but we have gone up there with very good teams, and something always seems to happen to dampen our spirits. Also-we are a team that is about 8-2 at home this year and 2-8 on the road.Here we come!

Re: RPI & Union @ Clarkson & SLU (2/8, 2/9)
A question for Clarkson and SLU fans who may be looking in on this thread.
With your team playing RPI and Union back-to-back, do you look to one game with more anticipation than the other? Does the RPI game have a little more bite to it because of the long-standing rivalry? Or do you get more excited about playing Union, because they've been more successful in recent seasons?
