Re: RPI & Union @ Clarkson & SLU (11/3/17, 11/4/17)
Which of the four teams do you feel is so dull that you need to call the attention of the hockey gods to it?
And what could the hockey gods do that would make that team more exciting to watch?

A lot of injuries already for Clarkson, I don't know if they'll be able to field a full 12 man forward unit so most likely we will go with 11 F and 7 D, we lost one of the most important forwards on the team in Egle for awhile because of a open ice hit in a meaningless game against Guelph. Kielly is one of the best goalies in the country and consistently bails out young defensemen that are trying to settle in, our top line of Brosseau - Sturm - Rempal is our only consistent threat to score, Rempal could have the best hands in college hockey but he tries to take defenders 1 on 1 time and time again and quite frankly he's not strong so it usually doesn't work but with time and space he's as good as we've had in 15 years or so. We have a nice group of freshmen but they're not quite ready for this level with Dickinson being the exception, Jacome was the OJHL MVP last season but came in a year early when one of our prized recruits had to delay his enrollment, he's found out early this isn't junior hockey and he's extremely undersized at 5'5/5'6 so while you can see glimpses I would have loved to see him in Waterloo this season as he was a high draft pick for them this past summer. Charyszyn is also one of the freshmen we expected to contribute and he's probably had 6-7 grade A chances but has yet to convert, last season with Waterloo he was a 30 goal scorer. It all takes time and all of our young guys have been thrown into the fire playing against nationally ranked competition quite regularly, they'll mature as the season goes on and hopefully contribute down the stretch.

I was following Georgetown last season because one-time RPI recruit Austin Cho played for them and Jacome's stats were certainly impressive. He probably could have benefitted from a year in the USHL.

Originally posted by Ralph Baer View PostI really wonder about the preseason games against Canadian schools. They often result in more than the usual quota of injuries. OTOH a preseason game is useful and whom else are US colleges going to play?

Now getting serious, fans need to be patient. The team's in transition as far as the style of play. Transition = Thinking Thinking = Hesitation Hesitation = Slow PlayI've been lost since 1989. I got a breakaway on a frozen river and have been skating ever since.

Originally posted by FireKnight View PostBesides Egle, who else is injured? Kuzmeski played in a forward spot both nights last weekend but it didn't seem like it was due to lack of players. There were 13 forwards that played last weekend, just 4 of them didn't play both nights.

Originally posted by FlagDUDE08 View PostI know several HEA schools have ceased their Canadian exhibitions, hence why Merrimack's only playing 33 total. Perhaps we get in some games with them, like the last time RPI played UVM?""Ralph is the Chuck Norris of this board. Ralph doesnt sleep he just waits." - fishcore12
