RPI & Union @ SLU & Clarkson (2/6, 2/7)

Re: RPI & Union @ SLU & Clarkson (2/6, 2/7)

I'm wary........Union in particular and RPI to a lesser extent are Jeckyll and Hyde. Very hard to predict what you will get and which team will show up. We are on a roll but I still don't think we've established Appleton with as big of a home ice advantage as we could. Particularly early.....we were far better on the road.

Always very hard to predict any ECAC tilt let alone one's where the teams are fairly equal.

Jekyll & Hyde is being polite. Union beats teams that they shouldn't and loses to teams they should beat. Every now & then, they'll play a game that we'd expect them to play, but that's rare.

I have no idea what to expect of them this weekend. This is ALWAYS a tough trip for anyone to make, especially when Clarkson & SLU are playing well.

At this point, I'd say our inconsistency is our main strength !!

Snow showers are in the forecast, as a warning to anyone looking to go.

Depending on how good/bad, jericho may really enjoy the SLU game here in the forums.

For any RPI/Union fans making the trip up, there will be atleast a few of us gathering at the Hoot before the SLU games. Usually arrive in the 5-530 area. Feel free to make it an added stop!

Given the time I usually get up there, I think I'll pass on that. May see you at the game, though. I'll be where I belong.

The bad news is that we do not do well against tough forechecking or for that matter backchecking teams. We are much more successful in "run and gun" matchups. The good news is that Ken Schott of the Schenectady Gazette has picked us to lose both games, as has everyone else.

Wow, they pick Clarkson and SLU to sweep the weekend. Do they know that this is the ECAC?

Good start to the weekend for SLU. Impressive result for Union. I'd like to think that with our depth SLU will score more than one tomorrow, but Union obviously was doing something right tonight to put up 4 at Cheel.

Actually it was Clarkson doing everything wrong and Union taking advantage. Two brutal turnovers in the first gave Union 2 goals and then Clarkson takes some penalties and Union scores on 2 different 5 on 3 PPs.
