    RPI 2025 Off-Season: HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I agree, I feel like he could be The Guy. Dave Smith's hiring surprised me, and although he had things moving in a better direction before getting done in by COVID and Shirley, I never really felt like he was The Guy. Not to get ahead of ourselves here but with Lang I feel like we might have...

    RPI 2025 Off-Season: HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    The presser was pretty good! I was hoping there would be some televised Q&A from the press after the speeches but they just had breakout sessions and ended the live feed. Coach Lang had some pretty encouraging things to say about his expectations for being able to win and support from the...

    I hope possibly being a "factor in the ECAC" is the bare minimum we're shooting for here! :)

    RPI 2025 Off-Season: HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    All this optimism and interest in the coaching change got me down a rabbit hole of reliving the glory days (and the dream of perhaps returning to them). I had consumed plenty of info over the years about the '85 championship, which was during my lifetime and not long before I matriculated, but...

    Great post. I was genuinely upset when you shut WaP down but I understood. Honestly it was hard to fathom the amount of time and effort you put into it, especially considering the headwinds of administrative (lack of) support. I have heard from enough people in the alumni community with...

    Yeah, I totally agree. More of just a way for me to vent about the sorry state of the Blueshirts. Can't imagine Lav is still there next season.

    I'm elated that we got Lang but watching the Rangers' dumpster fire of a season wind down has me wondering if Dan Muse might have ended up being available after all. :p

    Exactly. RPI, you have the college hockey world's attention - show them you mean business. Hiring Lang was a huge step in the right direction.

    It's probably a good thing they are still in the ECAC where I think they can be competitive at least in their league. A guy like Lang has demonstrated he can do a lot with a little and hopefully RPI gives him more to work with than he had at AIC. If they can make it to the big dance every now...

    I sure hope he conditioned his hiring on investment in the program, because boy do they need it. Upgrade or replace HFH, get your social media presence up to snuff, engage the community, the alumni, embrace your program's storied history and treat it as the crown jewel of campus life and not an...

    What, few months? He said he could get it done in 48 hours! I'll give him until COB Friday. 😃 Anyway just trying to channel some CGI Princess Leia energy from the final scene of Rogue One...

    We will always remember exactly where we were and what we were doing when news of Eric Lang's hire broke! (Kidding, of course, but my goodness are we allowed to feel hope for the future?)

    Ha, I noticed that too. If you click on "Coach Dave Smith" link on the page it gives you a 404 which, fair enough I guess...
