RIT 2010-11: What do Tigers dream of?

I think the best case is that they split. I want those teams on the other side of the bracket come tournament time.

Well that sucks, we no longer have the tie breaker, it now belongs to Niagara. 3-3 tie, the Tigers need to learn how to not let in late killer goals... Lets hope Robert Morris sweeps Niagara but Air Force holds there own against both Niagara and Morris. weekend... ****...

The conference championship is important and all, but I'm much more concerned about not having to play a play-in game against Caniusis or Mercyhurst. In that respect, this weekend was a good result for RIT, despite the frustrating tie. They kept pace with Air Force, and gained two more points on Robert Morris - this weekend should end any votes RoMo was getting in the polls, that's for sure.

That Friday night nationally televised game at the Ritter in the season ending 2 game home-and-home set vs. Niagara is shaping up to be an incredibly important game.

So.....2nd in the pod doesn't get a bye week?

Doesn't that mean two extra games at the Ritter? Win\Win!

At least two extra games for the fans to watch and an extra week of game practice for the team.

I'm pretty confident that they will take the two games if they have to play them.

2nd in the pod gets a bye. 3rd only plays 1 at home, but would likely be Top 4 overall, meaning that they host in the quarters (at least 2 games).

The Canucks broadcast profiled Tanev during the 1st period tonight, for those of you DVR-ing it. If somebody could possibly post it somehow, I'm sure it would be appreciated.

Also, if you're DVR-ing and don't want to know, look away.

Kevin Bieksa went down about 7 minutes into the 2nd, and may not return to the game, so Tanev should get more minutes tonight, and his prospects for staying up a little longer are looking a little better.

The last thing RIT really wants is to play in the play in game. Single game this early could mean suprises - even if it's a home game.

Well, now that the curse of the 'Black Jersey's' (1-0-3 between the men's and women's team when 1 of them was wearing one) is behind us, we just need to win the games we should win and take the others.

The end of February is going to be quite interesting.

Where do you get 1-0-3? I thought it was 0-0-3, (men vs UMass Lowell, Women x2 vs Plattsburgh)

Plus add in the loss in pink last year against Bentley. The curse of the fundraiser????

The men won Friday night while the women were wearing the jersey's, hence the 1.

I play on a softbal team at work. Each year our company comes out to support us and have a cookout during a league game and each time this happens, we lose horribly!

Glad the Tigers handle the pressure better than we do.

A quick look at the BCJHL scoring leaders shows three RIT recruits, and another doing well:

McGowan: 31/45 1.6 P/G 1st in scoring
Garbowsky: 33/25 1.3 P/G 14th, and tied for 1st in Gs
Thompson: 12/41 1.0 P/G 20th
Reid: 16/23 0.8 P/G

Nicely done, lads. Can't wait to see ya.

Nope, apparently it doesn't matter if only get one point on a road trip to West Point as long as you have a 5-2 OOC record.

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

Tanev had a pp assist last night for his first point. They were up 6-1 at the time, do not a normal occurrence. Any way, I was listening on my way home from my beer league game and the nucks radio guy was praising Chris a lot about his decision making and play. May make it tough to send him back.

Chris took a shot from the Right Point, that was either saved or deflected then was put out to the left circle where Hamhuis buried it


Trade him to New Jersey!!!!!

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

Tanev was rather impressive last night, and you can see him playing better and better with each game. He's made my Open Ice subscription really worth it this year! Now if only DirecTV would show Rogers Sportsnet in HD...

Video of the assist: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vElXA90kKdw

A nice article today written about him too:
http://communities.canada.com/thepro...mpressive.aspx

Its just hard to imagine watching him last year playing with Burt, Favot, Ringwald, etc., and now watching him make breakout passes to a Sedin and defending a goal with Roberto Luongo in it. I'm guessing his stint may come to an end after Wednesday night, as some of their defencemen should be ready to go by their next game then after the All Star break, but he's raising a lot of eyebrows in Vancouver, and he may challenge for a spot on the roster next year, or even as a 7th defenceman come the playoffs.

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

Anyone with info on Brenner?? He is the guy RIT can not lose this year...

The Niagara vs. Bob Morris game is being broadcast live in Buffalo, so I can watch that without going all the way up there. I think Robert Morris needs at least 3 points against Niagara plus needs to beat RIT to have a chance to get a bye....
