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

[sk8tronthepond]

Even if he records no points in the playoffs, Sutter Muzzatti is the highest scoring RPI freshman in a decade, tying Zalewski's 21 points in 12-13 (don't think I missed anyone). 1 more point would make him the highest scoring RPI freshman since Pirri and D'Amigo in 09-10.

Only 4 more points to go to catch Brad Tapper. Impressive.

He has that potential. What we would love to see is someone surpass Brad's goal total of 31 in a season - our last 30+ scorer.

initial odds for next weekend round one playoff games. Brown and Dartmouth are 1.5 goal underdogs (I believe the Dartmouth game is on Friday). Union and RPI are 1/2 goal favorites on Saturday.
Obviously rooting for both Brown and Dartmouth to pull the unexpected upsets which would seed us to play the #4 seed in the second round if we can hold the home ice advantage over Yale.

Does anyone know how rare it is for a goalie scoring a goal in lacrosse?

Our game is the only 7 PM game on Saturday. Colgate-Dartmouth is on Friday, and both the Union-Princeton and Clarkson-Brown games are at 4 PM on Saturday.

Pretty rare. Occasionally opponents will leave the goalie free with the ball and clamp down on defending his team mates...leaving him alone/free to bring the ball up field. It is pretty rare for them to cross mid field with the ball, let alone shoot or score.

It's far more frequent than hockey goalies scoring. One UAlbany lacrosse goaltender had five goals in his career. Obviously, the difference in equipment is a factor.

I think it's unlikely they both pull off the upset, and I'd rather play Harvard than Cornell. So I'm probably rooting for chalk, except the 8-9 game doesn't matter for us

Of course, I think Yale is going to be a tough opponent for us. We had a 10 game losing streak prior to the freakout and will need a similarly strong performance. Luke Pearson is a very good goalie

Honestly I do not expect any help anywhere. The second round is of course on the road for us and we already have avoided QU but we really would not like to play in Ithaca either. If we were home, Cornell or Harvard would present about the same challenge but on the road, central NY is not a fun place for us to travel for playoff games. As you mention, the 809 game is of no consequence for us at this time.

At least they will know who to prepare for once the game ends, since all the other games will be over before ours. Let’s just concentrate on beating Yale before thinking about next weekend.

Won’t be at the game Saturday. My wife got me tickets for the Rangers at the Bruins on Saturday afternoon for Christmas and it will be followed up by a nice Italian dinner in the North End. Or I could cancel all that and stay home and watch RPI-Yale . Nope. I’ll listen on the way home once I get in range. Go Red!

Definite props to the Mrs. for that Christmas gift! Enjoy the game and the dinner, we'll hold down the fort here.

Any suggestions for a title for the offseason thread?
(which hopefully won't start for a long time)

Thanks. I assume that you mean the Texas Rangers and UCLA Bruins. ;-)
