RPI Engineers '15-'16

[hab]

With the release of the 2015-2016 schedule, good time to put the disappointments of last year behind us and focus on a new year with a new thread. Like the schedule, good mix of teams from different conferences, a return to McGill, and a renewal of a rivalry with RIT that goes back to D3 days. Curious that the schedule does not show a game at Clarkson: must be an error or perhaps a scheduling problem not yet resolved?

Clarkson is almost certainly on 2/6/16. They probably just forgot to enter it.

Thanks for starting the new thread.

Less hopeful in the thread title this year. I'm sure shelfit will be happy.

The '15-'16 refers to the number of wins I'm expecting.

Incorrect. As I've said on more than one occasion, nothing would make me happier than to see this team return to the ECAC playoffs. My strong opinion is that result is just never going to happen under the current head coach.

hab, that would be great if they could win 15 or 16 games but chop that prediction in half and you'll be more on target.

Re: RPI Engineers '15-'16

Last year's RPI thread was one of the most active ones of the women's hockey forums because we had a lot of good interchange between RPI fans and RPI sceptics. Hope for the same this year. Full disclosure here, I consider myself to be first and foremost a 'fan' of RPI hockey, and secondly an analyst of RPI hockey. I watch most of their games (on video, unfortunately, as I live half a world away) and hope to provide some useful comments on the games. But as a fan I never let analysis get in the way of blind faith . I promise to stay more grounded in reality than the legendary MICZamboni, but I proudly remain a fan, as I attempted to define in this thread: http://board.uscho.com/showthread.ph...me-Nominations

Blind faith, optimism, and a healthy diet of kool-aid is clearly the way to go.

They have fixed the schedule. Actually, Clarkson is on 2/5/16 and SLU on 2/6/16.

If it were, I'd be too cheap to get real kool-aid and we'd have to suffice on a knockoff brand.

I will post the revised list on the men's recruit thread soon.

Re: RPI Engineers '15-'16

It looks like she committed quite recently although I wonder then how she could have been in the Directory already. https://www.facebook.com/beemerson

Re: RPI Engineers '15-'16

I don't look at the women's threads very often, but after glancing at this one, I have a question.

Where is Shattuck St. Mary's located and how does it draw players from locations as diverse as Princeton Junction, NJ and Anchorage, AK?
