In Buccigross' tournament preview show, he didn't even refer to us by name when going over the teams in the regional. We are simply "the 16th seed".

The writer specializes in being a jerk. He's on Twitter 18 hours a day trying to make people angry.

He succeeded.

Dave Starman had some nice things to say on Twitter..
"Remember @RITMHKY last tourney appearance?Dominant top d pair of Dan Ringwald and Chris Tanev. Liking this Kuqali-Brady Norrish pairing now"
"Ringwald that season could have been a top 4 d on any team in the tourney. Tanev has become a big time NHL defenseman."

Quite the contrast between Starman, who is a great guy and who knows the game intimately, and the other dude.

Now I feel old.

The fact that an event happening 5 years ago makes you feel old makes me feel old

I firmly believe that d-pairing was a minimum a top 5 pairing in the country. Ringer was 26, experienced, and still went on to AHL hockey, while Tanev was, well, Tanev. I also think if Tanev stayed (not that I think he should have - obviously going to Vancouver worked out quite well for him and I'm not one to begrudge collegiate athletes making their money while they can) then the 2010-11 edition of the team would have been a top 15 team and may have competed for an at-large bid even if they couldn't get past Torf in the AHA final.

The Ringwald/Tanev pairing was scary good and not just defensively. They also combined for 21 goals that year. I don't know if Kuqali/Brady Norrish are quite as good. However, I have been very impressed with them, especially since mid-season. And just remember, both of those guys are coming back next year.

One thing I didn't think about until today, we actually have a player on the roster with NCAA tournament experience: Greg Amlong. Amlong spent the last 2 years with UMass-Lowell. In 2013, he played in 3 games in the tournament, reaching the Semi-Finals. Last year, he sat out the 1st round, but played against BC in the 2nd round. It may not mean a lot, but having a player with tournament experience certainly isn't a bad thing.

No, this is where you come to say: "Hey, great game, we really didn't see that loss coming, go take it to Harvard and good luck in the FF Tigers"

This guy really did his research on RIT...not.

http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nhl-pu...164911268.html

"No. 16 Rochester Institute of Technology Tigers (19-14-5)

Key stat: RIT had a 54.3 percent corsi rating this season. In six non-conference games, though, they were out-attempted 307-245 (44.4 percent). That means they went 56.8 percent against Atlantic Hockey teams.

Top player: Senior Matt Grabowsky is this year's “guy from Atlantic Hockey who has a gaudy point total that would impress you if it were in any other conference.” Almost a third of his games were multiple-point nights. Out-of-conference scoring: 1-1-2 in six games.

NHL draft picks: None

Quick fact: They're playing the best possession team in the country. This could get ugly."

This dude hates the WCHA!

I really hope Mankato continues to be the San Jose Sharks of the NCAA.
