    I've always liked this argument. No, Hockey East does not need RPI. RPI doesn't need Hockey East either. We're comfortable with our spot in the ECAC and will be just fine if this doesn't work out. This is all about opportunity. Hockey East presents us with an opportunity to join a premier league, that many (myself included) see as the best bet for RPI to have a shot at an NCAA title in the future.

    As for what the "best option" is for Hockey East, thankfully that is not for me or you to decide. RPI brings history, a strong regional fan base, a decent sized arena, and a strong commitment to hockey. If HE values those things, we might join ND in HE, if not...oh well. Disagree with whatever points you wish. You are a failed person.
    Do you have any thoughts of your own? You sound like the guy in Good Will Hunting at the Harvard bar. You sound like a parrot sitting on someones shoulder who says nothing but exactly what others have said 1000 times.


    failed person? that would be you. "see as the best bet for RPI to have a shot at an NCAA title in the future", but you are right, they don't need hockey east

    Don't, stay ECAC and lose to dead last Brown and Colgate in first round of play offs every year and finish 5th or 6th.

      Sorry Ralph, with Rick Bennett at the helm, that will not happen.

        I would be happy to provide some insight into the evolution of the market economy of the Southern Colonies, too.....but since you don't understand probability ("best bet" = increased probability), it is clear to me that you require an education that I cannot provide.

        I am unmoved by your jab against RPI in the playoffs. I appreciate the attempt though, sort of.....

          You'll have to forgive Hokeydope. He's a Providence fan that obviously holds 1985 in elevated regard.

              OK then... discounted.

              Judging by your questions... you're missing the point. I'd be happy to discuss with you in another thread if you'd like.

              The fact that you BC fans revel in the superiority of your team in an admittedly weak league leads me to believe you will be more sorely disappointed when the end comes than we will.

They could actually bring back the Christmas tournament and invite some teams that would create alot of interest in the tourney again. So many good reasons to jump to Hockey East so I doubt it will happen.
                  I 100% agree with my other new best friend JK. You want to play the best competition and that is Hockey East. National Champions come out of HE. I believe we have the right staff to make the jump and would be perfect timing for this great freshman class to make leap to HE.

                      The end of the BU game last year was remarkably 'chippy' to say the least! Perhaps you mean no natural geographic rival....

                              Possible, but he would have to show vast improvement in his skating ablities, such as lateral movement, pivots and overall foot speed.

                              His hockey sense/decision making is real good.

                              I've been lost since 1989. I got a breakaway on a frozen river and have been skating ever since.

                                But are you really complaining about a wave of fanboys that came mostly before you were in school?

                                Also... honest question... what was BC hockey attendance like in the early/mid 90s anyway, if you're talking about a wave of BU fans in the 2000s?
                                Don't worry about him, quiddlet. It's natural for people like that to lash out at things they don't understand.
                                Keep an open mind. Just don't be so open-minded that your brain falls out.
