Anyone e-mail Kevin Beattie yet asking about if the team is going to get a hotel in Amsterdam? Although I'm not too crazy about the (likely jesting) idea of shooting up to Underwood and coming back. 100 miles each way just doesn't seem plausible.

Since Jan. 1, RPI has outscored its opponents 17-1. That's a far cry from being outscored 23-5 in the third prior to Jan. 1.

"I just think we've become a lot better team since Jan. 1 and (improvement within) the third period is a part of that."

What the hell is he talking about with RPI outscoring opponents 17-1 in 3rd periods since Jan 1?

He's a fiction writer moonlighting as sports reporter...but we love him still.

I had wondered about that, but I was too lazy to check.

Ok, is still a great improvement though.

Absolutely true.

Seriously, 3 goals alone in the Freakout.

It should be 17-13.

You're about 4 days late on that one. Lugnut92 was giving them to us real-time.

Guess I should start surfing the tubes a lot more... either way, now the link can hopefully be preserved.

Apologies if this has already been posted (don't feel like searching through 30 thread pages), but this object d'art cannot be lost. This is a link to the Clarkson "cheer sheet" (including words to their own Alma Mater) suggesting things that they shout or jeer. Some of them are truly shining examples of Clarkson's creativity based in the 1950s:

"You were prom queen"
"Domestic engineers"
"Troylet"
"Puckman's not real"
They also suggest to ask Merriam's mom out for a seafood dinner or something... stealing classic lines from Anchorman and using them way out of context is the pinnacle of comedic creativity.

Enjoy.

Yes-in the post-game interview with Karpowich, he said that he had injured his knee earlier in the week and it hurt so bad they had to numb it so he could even play. I have even more respect for him after hearing that-he made incredible save after incredible save, and really carried the game much of the time this weekend. There's no way we have three overtimes without him-and the score on Friday and Sunday could have been a bit more lopsided in our favor if it wasn't for him in net. Of course, the same can pretty much be said about Bryce-although I feel our D (and forwards) blocked a lot of shots before they even got to him. Boxscore says Clarkson only had 5 SOG in the third on Sunday, and that was with two decent-length 5x3s.

Credit due to the RPI penalty killers on those 5 on 3's. In the past those were situations where we could just about be assured of a goal being scored against us. The 3 on the ice just pressured the heck out of CCT and did not give them room to breathe or set up. Didn't Clarkson pull the goalie to make part of that second penalty a 6 on 3 for a while? Really good thing we were up 3-1 instead of only 2-1 at that stage.

First-hand information there. I wouldn't call it an excuse.
