Wow, you weren't kidding about people yelling to sit down. The game hadn't even started yet and we were asked to sit down.

But how was it fighting for the urinals?

There are no words to describe how disappointed I am. 4 years in a row, and still the same old ****.

Terrible defense, undisciplined play, not enough effort given until it's absolutely needed.

The worst part is, they could still win 25 games and not make the tournament because the B1G sucks a fat one this year.

Win the B1G tourney and they are in. Two out of the past three years it has come to that (CCHA tourney, B1G Tourney) when they were in the final. If the goaltending and defensive scheme doesn't improve, it won't matter because Minnesota won't roll over and MSU or PSU are capable of winning the conference too.

That's the loser's way in. Even if Michigan won both, that's still putting lipstick on a pig and not how teams with first round picks on the roster should be playing.

Michigan's schedule says RPI TV will be broadcasting the game. Are they any good at it?

They are great -- and free. However it isn't clear to me that they will be broadcasting it since it is being shown on local TV and sometimes that means that RPI-TV doesn't do it. We'll see.

I should add that in the past there has been a hidden second audio link in the upper left (you have to move your mouse there) which would allow you to hear the Michigan broadcasters' audio instead of WRPI's assuming that Michigan is broadcasting audio and they and RPI-TV can arrange it.

RPI-TV will be doing it, and I assume simulcasting the feed to local TV: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XrYJKTeknG4

top notch - chromecast to your TV, high quality production.

Put it this way: RPI can't make the ECAC tournament championship weekend the normal way, and the league can't get TV rights, so RPI gets "in" as the media provider.

I didn't know it was a Youtube stream. I kept looking all over their website for a stream and became worried.

I bought the Union stream last night which was 100x better than anything you'll see at any other B1G school.

A black and white 50's kinoscope with a finger partially over the lens is better than anything Union can put out. Could you see past the netting?

Yeah. Keep in mind, most of the B1G schools don't give a **** about hockey. It's about 5th at best at some schools and not even on the radar at others. OSU just gives us the scoreboard feed from their arena (including animations interrupting gameplay) with no sound.

Thanks. Big improvement this year over past years. Shooting with high definition AVCHD H.262 high definition 1280 x 1024 so the cameras were all upgraded. In the viewer you want to click on HD. Using multiple cameras lets us shoot up close at the rink level with an announcer there as well. The bandwidth back to the server in Atlanta was also increased. You can now jump back and forth in the stream while its recording. The big improvement is with instant replay. The announcers were able to replay some of the goals over and over with both camera angles. In addition there has been improvements in rink lighting that went hand and hand with the improved video. What I like best is the archiving. If you sign up for the year its still $79.00 and you get to see all our home hockey games in the archives. It does take a week or two to get posted.

RPI.tv is the gold standard for ECAC hockey video and its free. A few years back, they actually did the ECAC tournament in Atlantic City. Its a student-run operation. You will like it.

Good to see that FD08 found it. It will be available through the RPI-TV website as game time approaches, but both that and YouTube are the same.
