RPI 2022-23: Return of the Schmidt and the Fans

[bruinsfan11]

I was looking at getting tickets for a game this season and went through the whole “select your seat” thing on the website….. what 2nd grader designed that disaster of a seating chart lolllll???

Is Klee hurt? Has to be top 6 D if healthy.

I'm not a fan of Klee, he was easily the worst dman among our regulars last season

In honor of Carson Cherepak, today is 30 September 2022. There is 1 day until RPI's next game.

This is based upon 1 October 2022 for the start of next season.

The coach said a while ago that having 2 exhibition games allows everyone to get game action without having a very long bench, so he will probably play on Sunday. Then again, he could indeed be injured.

Edit: He also stated on the posted YouTube video that everyone will play this weekend.

The transmitter tower is being repaired, so I doubt they’ll be games this weekend (football included) aired. But we were planning on doing Sunday’s exhibition.

Thanks. It took my aging brain a while to figure out that you probably mean Sunday's game will be on-line but not on WRPI.

I thought that was a close race last year between Klee and Hallbauer as both seemed to regress defensively during the lost season. Now that they are the upper class core of a young defense I'm hoping that one or both will step up this year. In particular, if we got the sophomore year Hallbauer I'd be thrilled. If they don't step up and the first year defensemen do I could see one of these guys not dressing or being in the 19th skater slot frequently this year. With his shot, if Hallbauer is the swing guy, I could even see him getting an occasional shift up front.

My brain is still quite a bit younger but, if you ask my wife, some decidedly non-linear, non-chronological aging may be at work. Nonetheless, I took the statement that they were planning (past tense) to do Sunday's game as an indication that an audio only broadcast in any form was off the books.

I took the "were" to be the subjunctive mood, not the past tense, but I am not sure that was meant.

The schedule on the RPI website shows both exhibition games on ESPN+.

For the football fans - after a first half in which the RPI offense was about as exciting as watching paint dry (yet leading 7-3), the second half was an offensive outburst and with very little time remaining we lead 31-3 over Rochester. the defense was, as they have been outstanding all game. Bending a bit at times but never breaking and forcing 3 interceptions to ignite much of the scoring. It looks like the Liberty League should be a 4 team race again this year but Ithaca by far being the 500 pounder in the room. They are just torching Hobart today. Union will also contend and has a high scoring offense. But so far, it is our defense that keeps us competitive.
