Re: RPI Hockey 2019 - 2020: Nordic Combined
Yes, now is the time for our guys to get their act together.
Two four-goal losses are not pleasant, but at least they did not occur in league games.
I figure Cornell, Harvard, and Clarkson are shoo-ins to finish in the ECAC top four. Dartmouth and Quinnipiac seem likely to fight it out for fourth and fifth - maybe they won't finish that high, but it's hard to see either of them dropping out of the top eight.
That leaves seven teams. In order to gain home ice for the first round of the playoffs, RPI needs to finish ahead of four of them.
This weekend is the only time RPI will have home games against two of those other six. It would not be good to let this opportunity slip by.
