Good to hear from someone who was at the game. Got to see most of it but watching at a crowded and loud pub is not always the best.

I attended the game last night and it was great to see a relatively well attended and enthusiastic crowd. (Unfortunately, I didn't win one of the cool Black Out jerseys...) At first I though the refs were calling early penalties to set expectations and keep the game in check. Unfortunately it soon become obvious it just poor officiating - on both sides of the puck. I also disagreed with the 5min major, but credit to Union, they made the most of their chances with some nice snips to Waton's stick-side which seems to be his Achilles heel. Union also has a VERY aggressive fore-check making it difficult for RPI to cleanly break out of their zone. And puck possession also seemed to favor Union as they quickly picked up the dump-and-chase pucks from RPI and maintained possession for good lengths of time. 24 on their team was very effective all night. But with all of that, it was a fairly close game, with Rainers Rullers (who is a big kid!) really involved and a big factor all night. So with some adjustments, tonight is a very winnable game. It was great to see Muzzatti out there last night - he is a difference maker, but he wasn't throwing the body around as much as usual and was avoiding getting checked as much as possible - obviously still healing, but factored in the scoring in his 1st game back! Lets get the W tonight, and Lets Go Red!

We can't be taking nine penalties and giving up 40 shots and expect to win.
We continue to play to the last whistle and that is encouraging. But we have to be more disciplined.
Lets go RED!!!!!!!!!!

Hope this time it does not come down to officials making calls. I saw last night as a very entertaining and fast paced relatively even contest but some of the penalty calls (and non calls) had an odor to them. Hopefully this is not a game of special teams. Unfortunately will probably not be able to watch this one so guys, take good notes

[jericho]

Last ever regular season Union-RPI game at Achilles. Sure would be nice to notch a win.
