RPI 2021-22: Picking Up Where We Left Off

[jericho]

agreed. Does anyone know why they are not traveling? Is it staffing, lack of interest, or some protocol?

Sort of a combination of all three. Really, only two (three of you count Kurt) of us. It takes a lot of time away from my family and 4 year old daughter, which quite frankly is more important to me. Also, hard to get time off from work when you’re low man on the totem pole and don’t have much time anyway. I will eventually. Kurt wants to take a step back from hockey, and Larry, our newest alumni broadcaster, has been laid up for a bit. Perry has other duties in the SID office. We do have two new students, but they are very involved already with the operation side of things at the studio. They haven’t done any play by play for games yet and haven’t set up a road game, so we don’t want to send them out by themselves. Maybe next season. Sorry. Some of you aren’t going to like it, but thems the breaks.

FWIW, we still have separate game threads for each game. This is the one for today's game vs. Yale: https://fanforum.uscho.com/forum/col...yale-2-19-2022. You are certainly invited to participate.

Thanks. I missed that thread

Much better 2nd period.

Got ESPN + when fans were not allowed this year. $6.99/ month less than price of 1 game ticket. And you get the away ECAC games. Worth it. And you can watch lots of other college and pro games as well and that is just the hockey offered. If you consider ticket price, gas and tolls, and hotel for away games (not that tv is better than in person), it’s a bargain. As to the matters at hand….RPI is headed no where if they can’t win 2 games in a row. So tonight is vital.

Coach smith I’m sure can’t be pleased with that period. 4 games left fighting for 4 spot and this team looks completely out of sync. Brown is 3 points behind RPI by the way. Even the brown announcers commented on how RPI looks like they have tired legs? Jeez

I was 1 of the 291 in attendance. Looked like more RPI than Brown fans. RPI was fortunate to be 0-0 after 1st period. Good RPI goal tending and bad puck luck for Brown. Some open shoots seemed to hop over Brown sticks. I can see why #18 Lee is on a top line. I also noticed #20 Schreifels on 4th line. RPI 1st line stands out. Let's go RPI tonight.

Big win tonight, need one more tomorrow

Definitely! We have to keep the foot on the gas. Colgate is at home vs. SLU.
We have Dartmouth and Harvard at home... Colgate visits Princeton and Quinnipiac.

Beating Yale tomorrow night makes next weekend something special.

Terrible first period for RPI. Team looks slow. zero offense going for them. Seriously hopefully next year we find some offense. Watching this team is like watching paint dry.

I forget the reason, but it may be the wording of the ECAC agreement with ESPN. Sezenack posted on this a while back.

Correct, it is a contractual prohibition. RPI students that would be working those broadcast tried to get paid because they would essentially be working for ESPN. Didn't happen: https://poly.rpi.edu/news/2021/10/rp...-wages-denied/
