RIT 2010-11: What do Tigers dream of?

Re: RIT 2010-11: What do Tigers dream of?

Yes, it would be nice to be ranked, but with the bias against AHA teams, it's very difficult to get ranked.

pssst... It's not bias if it's a reflection of reality.
The AHA is NOT AS GOOD as the other conferences, and IMHO, it's not very close. Yes, the conference's strength has improved over the years, especially with the additions of MC, AFA, RIT, NU, and RMU. However that still only improves it to being closer, but not quite as good top to bottom, to what the CHA was. As long as it is a "cost containment" conference (not a complaint, simply a statement of fact), the AHA will never approach the big-4. So for now, we just have to be happy with the ~10 or so upsets of big-4 teams that will occur throughout the regular season and the possibilitly of a tournament upset or more from the ONE representative our conference sends.

I think your second sentence is a statement of your bias...

As are votes in polls BTW.

Two games with AHA teams on TW - that's unsual. While I hope RMU does well - I don't see them getting a point against UND

Hoping Comcast carries FSA out here so I can catch the game tonight.

Hey I had a little time at lunch today to put this together, kind of thing that will start arguements and not solve any but fun none the less.

I put together my All Star RIT Team since going D-I. To make the team a player had to play at least 1 full year in the D-I era. Freshmen from this year were not considered. Also I put these lines together as if I was actually going to have this team skate together. So here it goes...

Forwards

Matt Smith | Simon Labert | Steve Pinizzotto
Brennan Sarazin | Cameron Burt | Tyler Brenner
Matt Crowell | Andrew Favot | Jesse Newman
Darrell Draper | Anton Kharin | Ricky Walton

Defensemen

Dan Ringwald | Chris Tanev
Al Mazur | Bobby Raymond
Brent Patry | Chris Haltigin

Goaltenders

#1 Jocelyn Guimond
#2 Jared DeMichiel
#3 Louis Menard

Honorable mentions/Scratches...

Tyler Mazzei
Sean Murphy
Stevan Matic
Adam Hartley
Justin Hofstetter
Chris Saracino

So as they say in MLBs Prime Nine, Thats my team whats yours???

Re: RIT 2010-11: What do Tigers dream of?

As a nod to what DeMike did last year, I wouild consider making him #1 goalie. Hard to argue with that order. I'm gonna have to give thought to the rest of them.

As for tonight's game - I thought the sloppy passing cost RIT a point. There were so many passes that were easily picked and lead to decent scoring chances for Army. Can't have that. Luckily Madolora came up big to get a point.

Re: RIT 2010-11: What do Tigers dream of?

Brent Alexin makes my list because him and Matic were great on the PK together. Newman and Kharin simply based on the speed they brought. Personally I couldn't stand Patry or Mazur. I didn't think either could skate well and while they could put points up on the PP I wasn't impressed with their defensive skill. I loved Walton before we had McReynolds but McReynolds has more skill so he got bumped

I'm sure there are 38 million Polish people who would feel differently

I've watched Leet play before, he's a pretty good goalie so I'm not suprised he held the Tigers back last night. When I saw him, he was their number 2, not sure where he is now.

Leet is still #2, but the #1 is hurt, so it's his job for now.

Very hard choice on the goaltenders, three very good one. I gave Guimond the nod over DeMike just because I felt he had the ability to really steal a game. DeMike was close but never did have the game like Guimond had against Saint Lawerence. Although he did have some very good games in the NCAAs. Would have been interesting to see Guimond with a chance to play in the AHA tourament and NCAAs...

If Madolora keeps up what he is doing, it will be interesting where to rank him.

Re: RIT 2010-11: What do Tigers dream of?

After this weekend, UConn has a better points % than Robert Morris in conference play (you know, where everyone has common opponents).

Also, RIT is threatening to run away with the conference once again.
