RPI 2017 Off-Season: We March 4th into the Future

Re: RPI 2017 Off-Season: We March 4th into the Future

I think that more than 10 goals in a game has only been done 6 times overall but exactly 10 goals has been done 8 previous times. I would guess that a first time team has not done it recently but in the early years, when goals were scored by the bucket full, and most teams were new to the tournament, it probably was done. i would guess Colorado College perhaps since they used to run up some big numbers in the early years.

MTU scored 10 in its first tourney game which was in 1956. http://www.augenblick.org/chha/ncaa_trn.html

That looks like the only other time that it was done.

I guess they did.

Penn State let Union come from behind three times, then rang up seven unanswered (the last five of them in the third period).

Wonder if any other school has ever scored ten goals in its first-ever NCAA tournament game?

Today is 26 March 2017. There are 189 days (27 weeks) until RPI's next game.


This is based upon 1 October 2017 for the start of next season.

Not strictly RPI hockey related but Union had kind of a bad third period today against Penn State.

AD won't release him. And he's too old to make MJ effective.

I certainly hope he is coming because he seems to be getting better as the year has progressed, but something caused the USHL to remove his commitment from their list.

MJ is indeed getting old, but he could still help the RPI basketball team.

He signed his NLI ... that means the AD would have to release him. And if he releases him he can put restrictions on where he can sign. Such as no ECAC schools.

He did tweet something like "second time is a charm" when he signed his NLOI with us.

I don't think that he will end up at SLU, just that it would not surprise me. A problem is getting a scholarship at this time. I doubt that he wants to delay another year.

Yep.

You think he'd end up back at the first school were he go released from his NLI? Now that'd be a unique path to a school.

I actually feel bad for him, 2nd time he's had a coach leave after signing. We say the kids are supposed to sign with a school, not a coach, but that's not how it really works. I wonder if he ends up at UMass back with Carvel?

I suppose that RPI's new coach could convince him that RPI is still the place for him.

That's true that restrictions could be put on him. We will see what happens.

I wasn't going to post it until I saw something official, but since I was not the only one who noticed it, Bailey Conger has removed RPI from his twitter page and it has also been removed elsewhere. It would be a big loss if he isn't coming and I suspect that he is not.
