Right now, it's kind of tough to feel optimistic about RPI's chances in Friday's game.

Originally posted by vicious View PostThese are both winnable games. It depends on which RPI team shows up. The one we saw score the first two goals last night, which I think can win, or the one that got outshot 29-11 in the second and third periods, whose chances I am less optimistic about.

Points in each game would be nice for Union too, but one in each game will do at this point
We have a pretty motivated Freshman team on the ice these days, they're fun to watch, and they try.
Go Union !!!!Let's go Union !

If we are going to win any of these games, we are going to need to change our strategy. We can't sit back and hope that Kazzy stops everything they throw at him. We are going to have to be aggressive. Forecheck, attack the puck in our defensive zone, don't give the opposition any time to set up.
I don't know if we can do that with this lineup, but if we don't. we are going to need Kasdorf to stand on his head to get any points.
lets go red!!!!!!!!!!Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.

Originally posted by vicious View PostI agree. I think we've been in this position for awhile IMHO Kasdorf has stolen some wins for the team (Cornell comes to mind). We can count on the opponents coming out strong with a tough physical hitting game. Harvard and Dartmouth both have something to prove and with the league standings tightening everyone is desperate for points. I'd like to see us play with more desperation too. Appert has been talking for years about the need to play the full 60 and be difficult to play against. FWIW we were doing a great job blocking shots earlier in the season, even up until fairly recently, but my sense is it's fallen off a bit in recent games. Just a hunch on that."Everyone is entitled to his own opinion, but not to his own facts" - Daniel Patrick Moynihan

Originally posted by DeepRed72 View PostAppert has been talking that talk for 10 seasons now. But the team rarely plays anywhere near 60 minutes. Hard to come to the conclusion that he has any idea how to translate that message to the ice. Hard to be optimistic when you are constantly "Beat Down."

Re: RPI & Union @ Harvard & Dartmouth (2/12, 2/13)
Ok, I'm done with this "not playing for 60 minutes" garbage.
This team has never quit, thrown in the towel, or given up. They play a passive game that can look like they are not playing, but they are.
As a Devil's fan, I have seen a team play that style and win three Stanley Cups. They played defense and relied on their goalie.
They also had the personnel to get away with it.
Stop criticizing this team for lack of play. They need to be aggressive. They don't have the personnel to just sit back.
The team is fine, the system in not.Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.
