RPI 2021-22: Picking Up Where We Left Off

[RPI fan 4 life]

Hopefully. After 1 1/2 years without a game, I have forgotten all of the traditions. Who ran that?

Lugnut92. Is he still around?

EHF,

You started the Dartmouth game thread in 2020 which we won, so you get to start today's in the Scores forum. :-)

This is the first time since 1985 that we start a season on a winning streak. :-)

I was up early and tried, but the good doctor beat me to it.
I think we will be ok.

Lugnut92 ran that, and it will not be happening. He stopped using USCHO after the update

Thanks. Many memories. Thanks to all the posters. Will watch tonight.

I did write "streak" which implies at least two games as we won a few third place games in the ECAC tourney.

EHF- Terribly sorry - I was up very early (our cat is the furry alarm clock) and out of here quickly before reading the thread with RB's post. Did not know we were waiting to start. Hope i do not jinx us. My fingers are crossed for the season and I fully expect 21 wins, 13 in the ECAC and a run for 4th place. I wonder how others feel about these numbers.
Because of the very long layoff from hockey I have no idea about most of the teams we play. I expect QU to be the class of the league followed closely by CCT. Other than that I truly do not have a clue. Our record may simply be a function of how long it takes this team to gel. I think there is enough talent and desire and it will just be figuring out how to win by committee.

I had actually thought of starting the thread myself before you did, but then it dawned on me that we had won our last game in 2020. So I looked up who started that thread and saw it was EHF. This was the first time, of course, since we have been doing this that we ended the season with a win.

Okay, so I do intend to get Pick to Click, the ECAC standings prediction contest, and my weekly KRACH prediction threads going this year, but obviously it's a little late to do anything about PtC for this weekend, and I apologize for that.

If you want, pick one guy each for RPI and BGSU and if they do anything that would normally earn points, you'll start with one bonus point when I actually get the game going (I don't want to do full scoring because most people probably won't see this before puck drop). I'll let late submissions slide too, but they'll only earn a bonus point based on the results of tomorrow's game.

Good to have you back. :-)
If I understand you want one player from each team, and these will be for both games.
I'll go with
1985 champs: Sellar
1984 champs: Swankler

RPI was the better team tonight and should have won. Nonetheless, I'll take the tie over a loss

For the football fans - at the half RPI 14 Buffalo State 3. But it is a much closer looking game than the score indicates. Buffalo has moved the ball fairly well and only a late score by RPI has this game that far apart. BTW Buffalo has about the biggest offensive line I have seen with 2 fellows at 6'7" and 6'8" and each at about 400 pounds (one is a freshman!!!)
