The USCHO Fan Forum has migrated to a new plaform, xenForo. Most of the function of the forum should work in familiar ways.
Please note that you can switch between light and dark modes by clicking on the gear icon in the upper right of the main menu bar.
We are hoping that this new platform will prove to be faster and more reliable. Please feel free to explore its features.
I think everyone is a little quick to make big declarations about everything that is immediately fixed / remains broken. They have 19 new players, a lot of which weren't their first choice of player given the portal timeline, and a lot of them are quite young. Year 1 we should be looking for...
Was at the game tonight. Thought they were pretty good, played more connected defensively than I expected and it was an even game the first 30. They got outskated pretty hard late in the game but it wasn't like they were pinned in their own end like they have been the last few years. Defensive...
Curious on some opinions here. Based on Ralph's list the only guys I would say are >50% likely to make it to RPI are Gosselin, Dwyer, and Chemrouk. We all like to follow the recruits, but Eric said this summer that they want to specialize on 20 y/o players in the US, O and QMJHL, so I would...
I think regardless of how good the players are, having 22 new players and a new staff and going up against the cream of the crop in Hockey East will be a rocky start. A reasonable but successful season to me is as follows.
- 1-2 really high end wins. (Cornell, QU, Providence, BC, Mankato, etc.)...
Have to think Karlis and Lange were very instrumental in continuing the recruiting connections ( of both commits and potential commitments) that had been built the past few years. If I had to render a guess, maybe half the new players were brought in either from Lang/Schneider connections and...
Would take him seeing as how slim the options at goalie are barring EL having a trick up his sleeve. I think Krawchuk is much better of a recruit than Sanborn. The difference between the OHL and OJHL can’t be understated and I think Krawchuk has started potential
Huh? It’s not about Lang. They do no interviews, no promoting, no advertising, nothing to get to know the players. How do you read that as I want to know the ins and outs of Langs personal life? It’s about taking promotion seriously to help attendance and fanfare. Weird comment
RPI's sports information dept is a joke. It is in dire need of an overhaul, to be honest they put out better material a decade ago which is inexcusable
I like what Eric is doing and think you are all in the right ballpark. He isn't going to build a team full of NHL draft picks when he got the job weeks after the transfer portal opened. But, he has added 5 quality D1 players so far in my opinion. If he can get them bought into his style of play...
This is an incredibly well-thought out post with the proper nuance for what happened. When Dave was let go, I wrote about how the recruiting strategy sort of shifted after 22 loss to Harvard and the talent they added did not make up for what they lost in grit and tenacity which they seemed to...
