RPI 2021-22: Picking Up Where We Left Off

[25+years]

I miss hockey just as much as anyone. I subscribed to ESPN+ to be able to watch. I tried to watch the Vermont game but the feed was horrible. And now a pause. Or will it be more than that? I am frustrated. BUT I understand and appreciate where SAJ is. She is tasked with running a university. Not an athletic program. Sports are extracurricular. People pay big money to attend the university and the vast majority don’t come here to watch or play hockey or football. You may hate her methods but, so far, you can’t argue with her results. This is a situation where you have to come up with afollow a

I don't see any reason why anyone should be surprised. This is not an RPI thing or a ECAC thing, they are postponing games in the mid west. That is not a good sign for anyone.
As bad as it was, I am glad that I got to see the game at West Point.

Every team has encountered it...or will. As Smith said in the T/U piece they've been as careful as possible and with all of the travel its probably surprising that its only happening now. We can only hope that the number of cases is limited and we can hit the ice again soon. Until then we wait.

The Times Union freelancer that covers RPI put together a good article about the situation tonight and was able to interview Dave Smith: https://www.timesunion.com/sports/ar...e-16749727.php

I just got another email invitation from the Alumni Office with an invitation to the Harvard game on Friday. Sigh. Giving them the benefit of the doubt I'd guess that they queued that up before the holidays, but they should work on issuing an update ASAP. I sent them a note so they should be aware.

As for yesterday's game, did anyone purchase the Flosports broadcast? I'm curious about the final goal. It sure looked like goaltender interference in the rink but the refs only spent about 30 seconds reviewing it so I assume I was wrong. Did anyone get a good view of it on TV? They only played one replay on the video board and it was behind the net and hard to see from where I was sitting.

The replay at the game showed that an RPI player was leaning on the Army player in the crease. Once I saw it I know it would be a good goal.

Yes. The puck crossed the goal line before contact was made with Marshall. Good goal.

Interesting note from Army game- a linesman named Peterkin. A good omen?

I guess not. He didn't score an OT goal for us. :-)

I guess it simply could not be moved? I would never figure that out and simply re-posted as you did.

I cut and pasted it.

And maybe RPI fans will be allowed in by then…

interesting pattern. Away one weekend, home the next. No 4 game stretches either home or away.

I wonder if that is a first.
