RPI 2013/14 Part III: Maximum Overdrivel

Re: RPI 2013/14 Part III: Maximum Overdrivel

For league games, a team is limited to only 23 players on the road trip. Also, the ref and the player Jean Yves Roy are different people.

Does it have to be the same 23 players on both nights? or can it be a different set of 23 on Friday compared to Saturday? (they could use a school-rented transport van to shuttle players if need be so that players are not driving their own cars).

Back in my day hockey players were so tough they could run all the way to Canton. Who needed cars!

I believe you have to turn your travel itinerary into the league office before departure for the road trip. Unsure whether special arrangements can be made for separate nights.

Odd.

given the way the weather has been lately, they'd be skating or skiing to Canton, not running.....

So the options are to either dress one less than the norm on Friday or to leave one of the suspended players home, then.

If it ends up being the latter, the league's own rules practically require a 2nd game of suspension in order for a team to be able to dress a full complement of players.

No. As you can only dress 20, the other three are the available subs if you want to change the lineup for either night! In theory, this adds to home ice advantage but it's stated intent, I believe, is that if you are not going to be playing you should be in class! So yes, RPI will need to dress 19 on Friday or leave at least one of the suspended players home! Having no subs is risky in case a player gets sick or injured before Friday night! Just to be safe, avoid the Pizza Hut!

it also seems to exacerbate the difference between having a suspension heading into a road trip compared to having a suspension while playing one's next two games at home.

I seem to recall one weekend, we brought two goaltenders with us, but had to bring in the 3rd mid-trip due to injury, despite not being one of the 23. Unless the ECAC makes exception to fulfilling the NCAA requirement of having two goaltenders in the lineup, it would seem to be that you can have any 23.

Looks like this non-action thing is more common than we may have thought? Gotta love Parker's choice of "a delay of game is all that I deserved for going nuts" words, too... but I can't believe he wasn't suspended at all. I agree with a lot of later analysis in the article, sounds exactly like what we've been saying the last few days.

Jack Parker is an all-time great and was at the time of this incident. He brought to the table guys that help us beat the commies in 1980. I consider Captain Jack an American hero. Rick "Mongo" Bennett has no respect for the game and could not carry his jock. Funny, I was just telling my bro, our great troyboy, how much I miss Jack. God bless you, Jack Parker and God bless these United States of America.

Reputation gives you a free pass? No wonder Union got off easy, because if it was us who did it, they probably would have made us forfeit the season.

seems we've had this discussion before and I'll just repeat what I've said in the past. I've been to many away games in the past and I've always seen and talked with ALL the boys who weren't playing that night.

Curadi is also eligible to come back on Saturday. (See a few posts ago.)

Curadi is eligible to play Saturday?

As has been said, the counting of DQs apparently restarts each season.

Others know more (or less) than I do.
