For discussion of this q'final match up. RIT a team I've never had the opportunity to see on the ice. I'm interested in thoughts on key players...players to watch for the CHA tournament entrant from those more familiar. I can say I've been fairly impressed with their transition to D-I. Not bad making the field at this stage as a D-I program and grabbing the inaugural CHA auto-bid. Congrats to them on making the tournament.

Re: NCAA Quarterfinal: RIT @ Minnesota
Binnington. I think this goes without saying, but Ali Binnington steals games for RIT. 11-1 with 0.90 GAA in post season play. RIT doesn't have a stand out goal scorer (or 2) like Minnesota seems to. RIT's point leader is Lindsay Grigg with 18 (7-11). The whole team plays good defense - limits scoring opportunities and blocks shots.
The senior class (Binnington, Scoyne, McCrea, Maugeri, Bulleid, Grigg, Brown) know how to win in the postseason. They were freshmen in 2011-2012 when RIT won the D3 championship.
Minnesota will be a tough opponent, but they shouldn't look past RIT.Atlantic Hockey Composite schedule: www.tinyurl.com/AHAcomp2

For those coming out to Minny this weekend, our weather has suddenly (and finally) turned for the better. Forecast calls for no precip, temps in the 50's with even a shot at 60. Expect to see lots of locals wearing shorts and a t-shirt.Minnesota Golden Gopher Hockey

Gophers can be a very, very good team that's extremely difficult to beat when they are playing like they are capable of. Turn it on Gophs starting Saturday. Let's go back to winning tournaments.

I won't say double digits is out of the question. But it would require the Gophers to be firing on all cylinders and playing their absolute best game.

Originally posted by LtPowers View PostNo one's put up more than 6 on RIT this season -- and even then it was without Binnington. Every year so far in the D-I era, the Tigers have improved significantly in their results as the season goes on.
