What can we expect to see from RPI?

Short story: First year coach and OSU alum Dave Smith (formerly at Canisius) working on instituting his systems and style of play (uptempo). Plenty of question marks up front - scoring by committee as youngsters develop. D corps is solid with many returners. Goaltending also solid - returnee Chase Perry and big talented freshman Linden Marshall ( you might see them both).

About the same as you saw from our women's team a couple of weeks ago.

We're sending our women's team to this?

I see that Saturday's game is scheduled for a 4:05 start. I have a sneaking suspicion that it's been scheduled that way so that fans can come to the hockey game and still get home in time to watch the Buckeyes - Cornhuskers football game on TV, which will start at 7:30.

I know that Penn State routinely prints tickets for its home football games with the date and name of the opponent, but no start time, because it is understood that they will start the game whenever the TV network that's televising it tells them they want it to start.

Does the same sort of thing happen with Ohio State's football team? If so, does the hockey team also have to operate with indefinite starting times, waiting until after they know when the football game is going to start and then scheduling the hockey game so that it won't conflict too much with the football fans' plans?

For the first few years the Big Roll-a-D20 started sponsoring hockey, there were indefinite dates for games because squeakball had to take precedence for scheduling, and they announce schedules later, I assume for dramatic effect.

Yes, thanks That's an important point Flaggie. You can get in his head especially if opponents are buzzing the net and " introducing themselves and welcoming him to the Midwest. ��

And it looks like they did just that; Wisconsin 2 - 3 tOSU.

The big ten has there own tv network, but I don't know about a streaming service.

Streaming service is BTN2GO. However, it looks like this time it's PPV. As if they don't already get enough money... https://www.btn2go.com/schedule?day=2017-10-13

Does anyone know if there will be video for these two games?

I guess our record wasn't as good as I thought; 2-6 including a playoff series, with one win in OT and the other also by one goal (a penalty shot), and only two losses were shutouts, one being 0-1. But he's not infallible.

Hopefully y'all can either split or sweep Wisconsin; the more butt you kick in your league, the better we both look should rankings come into play.

We've also beat him a few times. He can have his off days. I had a straight view into the SLU locker room where I normally stand at Appleton; it was funny to watch him throw a fit after an OT loss.

Newly minted Sconny keeper Hayton is legit. We've witnessed his stonewalling ECAC opponents for 3 years. Good luck !��
