Presumably it is for the purpose of getting the game on national TV, so I'll call it a good thing...

Should be a good one-obviously a good BU team and RPI has not lost a regualr season game at home this year. RPI is very banged up however and it certainly would help to get back a few of the 4 first line players who are out. We need to be at full strength for this one.

BU will be coming off a losing weekend, and they won't be very happy coming in. We need to get some of the wounded back in the line up.

Any recommendations for places to grab a bite in the area? Gonna be looking to grab lunch and/or dinner out there.

Notty Pine (15th Street) and Brown's Brew Pup (River Street) are good local options. Big Apple Pizza (College Ave) is phenomenally cheap/quick (but is by no means a "restaurant") also.

This is one of those OOC games that really sets up well for RPI. With BU playing wednesday and having been pretty well exposed by BC On TV this weekend{Not that BC doesn`t expose everyones flaws}The tilt is definitley on RPIs side.Wish the team was at full strength but I doubt anyone will be huried back for an OOC game. Count me as one long time fan who is very glad that captain Jack likes playing RPI on a regular basis.

BU will also most likely be without Chris Connolly, who is arguably their best player. Parker said there's a chance he could be back for this game, but that even if he was healthy, he might just let him rest until after break.

Last year we did OK short-handed. Paul Kerins sat the game out because he had to explain to Union why scoring 2 quick goals in HFH is a bad idea, and I think Jerry D'Amigo was out for WJC purposes. Bergin was also out, and Beauregard had played that game. Looks like both teams are playing a bit beat up.

I wouldn't be surprised to see O'Grady back, given the description of the injury he suffered in practice. I am also unclear on the nature of Malchuk's injury. I agree that Kennedy probably will not/should not come back before Christmas, and probably the same for Lee.

If we are talking about concussions in these boys-standard medical treatment is to rest them for 3 full weeks. The greatest percentage of cases clear by then with only a very small percentage suffering post concussive syndromes. I suspect all 3 will be back at full strength but it would be wise for them to take the full 3 weeks off to be sure. I cannot recall our team having this many head injuries at one time.
