RPI game notes http://www.rpiathletics.com/document...Notes_NCAA.pdf. I think that this is the longest game notes that RPI has ever produced.

thanks for posting that Ralph

Still trying to figure out if the Sioux have a chance against this team...

Well, we do owe you an upset from 1984.

Certainly not true. For instance, UNH/Cornell in Albany last year had Marco Hunt and Derek Shepard as the referees.

As I said earlier, there will almost certainly be a crew from Hockey East here, and none from the WCHA (yay! ). Wouldn't be surprised if a CCHA crew (they always seem to send Shegos to games in WI) do the UND/RPI game.

Try getting into a cab in Grand Forks and having the cabbie ask if you're "MNS"

That cabbie was probably a loser with no life.

I'd really like to see an analysis of this matchup and a prediction from Red Cloud, or a brief who wins and why. As I recall, you did call the Yale win over UND last year. You cover RPI and I'm assuming you still know the Sioux pretty well.

For storylines, it would be fun to see RPI vs Denver; apprentice vs master.

As a biased fan, the very best of all possible storylines for me would be to have Chase break the NCAA record for game-winning goals in a season!

(assuming they count these games as part of the season, that is...)

Because Barry Melrose predicted it, I am predicting RPI vs. WMU.

Yes. And then a match-up with Miami for the National Championship.

I'm pretty sure that they do.

This is our resident hockey blog's take on North Dakota, at least as an opponent of RPI: http://www.withoutapeer.com/2011/03/...th-dakota.html

If it wasn't for Yale's win last year, I'd be tempted to take RPI. I like them for many of the same reasons I liked Yale last year - including the layoff - but I think UND definitely got blindsided by the Bulldogs last year and with the talent this year's team has (including, notably, the presence of Chay Genoway), I don't think they're going to go with anything but full acceleration. That might hurt them down the road but I think it'll probably be enough to at least get them past the Engineers. My biggest fear as an RPI backer is that this game is going to get away from them (that is, it won't be close) but they have the ability to hang around and that can make them dangerous as the game wears on. I do expect RPI to get their first goal since their NC-clinching goal from George Servinis in 1985 but if I have to go with one or the other on a purely professional basis I have to take the Sioux. Though I do hope I'm wrong.

That was, by far, the weirdest occurrance of meeting a fellow poster that I have ever had.

Yes it was. I loved how Bakunin, con, and I looked at each other for a second, wondering if we should own up to who we were or not.

Oh, no doubt about that one.

Re: Green Bay regional: NoDak vs RPI, Western Mich vs Denver

Sorry if it was mentioned before, but am I right that only the final game from the Green Bay Regional is gonna be televised? That's what it looks like on the DirecTV schedule, and it sucks.
