In all my years I never consider the affect the election has on the team

Didn't we have a player a number of years ago that was studying medicine and in between classes, practices, and games was working nights at Strong Memorial Hospital? Name escapes me at the moment, too lazy to look it up at the moment (found it, C. Haltigan...way to go Chris!) but I remember reading an article on it at the time. That's some serious dedication to both the game and your career. Little lack of sleep mid-week on account of the elections shouldn't bother these young lads.

BTW Bentley and AIC tied at 1 at the end of the second period.

Our team is Canadian. No affect on them.

So when they play poorly, we can blame Canada?

Further update, the game remained tied at 1 to 1 through overtime. Points for everyone!

Well that was one ugly period.

Just got home from watching Army dismantle Canisius. I don't think I am going out on a limb if I say that RIT is not going to take the regular season championship. Maybe it was a jinx to even make them the preseason favorites but from what I've seen this year of the teams I've already seen there is just way too much parity in the league to say that RIT is the favorite. Every single weekend is going to be a major battle to win points. Let's hope for a better second period. Go Tigers. Happy Veterans Day to my fellow RIT fans that also served in the military.

This baffles me... RIT has the talent, the experience. Is it the leadership? I personally think Brady Norrish is great but because he plays so offensively he has lost his touch on defense. RIT's defense has been mediocre thus far. Not what was expected at all.

On a positive note, the penalty kill is doing great... and our goalie is solid.

Gave up two PP Goals in first period. Not running on all cylinders.

2 sweeps in a row. 😳 Good thing RIT has always been a second half team. No need to hit the panic button yet.

How about some rep? Or am I that terrible. 😜

Not sure what to think except zero points again.

Let's hope these two weekends don't come back to haunt then in the new year when the playoffs cone around

When was the last time RIT went 0-4 in conference play?

[Downstate_RIT_Fan]

When was the last time RIT went 0-4 in conference play?

The 2013-14 season they did it twice (UCONN x 2 and Bentley x2) and then ROMO, Mercyhurst x2, and Air Force. That was a rough year (12-20-5)..

Saw an email today that Greg Amlong was picked up by the Elmira Jackals, the ECHL Rochester Americans affiliate. Hope he does well.
