RIT 2010-11: What do Tigers dream of?

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

they played well too... hung w/ them. shots about even. was closer than the score says... plus no burt and janda.

The 4 power plays they gave up in the 2nd really took any momentum RIT had. They were right with St. Cloud until that point.

This was a closer game than the score states due to the empty netter. Hopefully tomorrow will be a better outcome - though UNO thrashed Clarkson.

did we get any reason on why no burt and janda? And why ropponen and not madalora or watson??

Burt was out "because of a suspension dating back to last season’s national semifinal loss to Wisconsin"

There goes the perfect season!

Thought the Tigers picked up too many penalties(6)..while UNO didn't score off them, they seemed to come one right after another and that's got to wear the players out killing them off.

Does anybody know when Burt's suspension is up? Did he travel with the team?

Hmm... must be a team suspension, since Burt didn't get any penalties during the game. I wonder what happened.

I know Madalora was dinged up last weekend, which is why he didn't play then. He may not have healed up as much as hoped. Plus, Ropponen did a good job against Wilfred Laurier. And he certainly was not the reason RIT lost. I won't speculate on who starts now - whether coach will ride a Ropponen who is playing the best hockey of his NCAA career, or Watson/Madalora will get the call against UNO that put up 8 on Clarkson (how the mighty have fallen there).

I would bet that the suspensions are done (never known Coach to have multiple game suspensions). It sucks that they were not there. However, it does bode well that RIT can play right with a quality team like St. Cloud without Burt and Janda.

WITR just reported it was an NCAA mandated suspension, not one handed out by the team, for a slash or hit or something towards the end of the Wisconsin game.

Would be nice if we could see the play that resulted in Burts suspension.

Sounds like a lot of good and bad in the first two games, going to be like last years team trying to figure out roles and fill some holes, all in all I like there chances...

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

I think RIT will certainly be a force. But oooooh those penalties. Special teams killed RIT against UNO - 3 power play goals given up, and not able to capitalize on the major (which included a 2 man advantage).

I vaguely remember Burt hitting one of the Wisco guys towards the end of the game, and being escorted through the line by an official, I'm guessing it had something to do with it.

You're right, I had forgotten about that. I remember finding it rather amusing at the time, despite the loss.

Anyone wanna play wheel of goalies and predict who will start Saturday? My hunch would be Ropponen.

well. from what it's looking like probably him. Is madalora just not going to play however? Have we heard anything? But as far as if we're going to bet and I have to choose someone not Jan. Then i'd pick watson, he played solid for what it's worth against the MAV's... I think he's going to be a great goalie in a year or two.
