Refs Kotyra & Feola handed out over 130 minutes in penalties in tues Clarkson UMD game. Anyone share what that was all about?

I am praying that we do not get that duo for either game this weekend. Our overall record with Kotyra on the ice is just abyssmal.

We already know we have a good team and an exciting team. This weekend we find out if we are in the higher echelon of the ECAC(top 4). We need to show we can beat ECAC teams coming into our home. Go RED!!

What a coincidence, Clarkson has the opportunity to find out the same thing this weekend :P I expect 0-1 points on the weekend for us, but if we get 3-4, I'd say it's a statement and we have a really good shot at the 4-5 spot. Definitely don't think we'll be in the top 3 overall. I still expect that to be Yale, Union, RPI.

Spot on Doc. Whereas I believe we are there, I think our opponents from the NC are both a year away and this weekend is when that becomes clear.

Yes that's what I said. We start taking it to the ECAC this weekend.

One sided? This team plays to the level of its opponents. Hopefully, RPI will win both games, but it will probably take at least one last-second goal.

So you were immature for your age. Oh well. Maybe you were still a child at 19, but there was a 19-year-old (and an 18-year-old) that I trusted with my life in Iraq. I would never disrespect them by calling them children.

By the way, if I ever get to be sixty or over, please come suffocate me.



But instead, you've done nothing but make excuses.

I had my life in the hands of 17/18/19 year olds myself, and I was comfortable with that. It was part of life in the zone. Immature, I don't think so. When you get to be 40/45/50. Let me know if you still want to end it all by sixty.
I don't know what excuses you are talking about. I simply said that the individual should make his own decisions on attending the game. If there was no prior committment, you can't change the rules in the middle of the game.
This should have been addressed in September.
Since it is a moot point now, I will not say another word on the subject.

Re the RPI band. I attended the RPI Holiday tourney every year from 1974 to 1984. I think that the band was there every year, but a large part was alums.

We put together a small band at the 2007 tournament (and the comments on here was the inspiration behind my screen name). The other year I went to the thanksgiving tournament (2006 which was the other year I was with the band, 2008, and 2009) did not include the band. I don't know about before that.

Well, now that the band discussion is settled time to predict. As I've said all along, neither Clarkson nor SLU strike me as anything more than mediocre teams. I will be sorely disappointed if RPI does not sweep and I also expect at least one game to be pretty one sided.

RPI still needs to play these tough. We can't afford to take ANY team lightly. Heck, we only won 2-1 against UAH (yes, they don't ask how, they ask how many), and last year we were tied with AIC late into the 3rd period (I know, different and more resilient team now).

It was probably mentioned way back in page 1 or 2, but the CCT/Union game will be for the cameras. Channel 3 in Albany, my listings in Syracuse said they'll show it (Channel 13), obviously everyone else across the state should check their local listings to see if their local TWCS will be airing the game.

Probably shouldn't say that too loud RC lest some of your antagonists see it and start planning for the rapture.

I doubt that I will still around when RC reaches 60, so he will be safe from me. I certainly won't have the strength to suffocate him.

Re: Clarkson & St. Lawrence @ RPI & Union (1/7, 1/8)

There will be a band this weekend. It will be a mix of a few current students and some local (and not-so-local) alumni. I don't like that it took involvement from alumni just to get the ball rolling on it. There was no discussion over the email list of "who would be available to play" or "who would be willing to come back", just an assumption of "it's break so we won't be there". That's not the approach that was always taken, ESPECIALLY when you're dealing with Clarkson, who brings their band every year without fail.

This is good news indeed. Thank you for your initiative, GRussinko.
