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.
...Bill Cahill was well known amongst the top teams in Canada and Western US, even though he only represented a D3 team. We need to have that kind of recruiting presence again.
Always like to get your perspective Dr. D. I haven't yet focused on the incoming class. Hope to see some gems there, but based on recent experience, not optimistic.
Accidentaly put the wrong title on this thread. Please go to the thread titled "Houston, we have a problem", which is a better reflection of my mood about this team right now. keep in mind however, that Apollo 13 did safely return to earth.
Will Houston Field House see any sort of revival for the Engineers in the coming season? There seems to be reason to believe in incremental improvement, but maybe no big forward strides. We are graduating only 3 forwards and one D. All strong performers but in particular hate to see us lose the...
Time to look forward. The team was predicted to finished 12th this year, and almost succeeded :). Let's take a look at the incoming class and think about what the future might hold.
Engineer fans are too easily satisfied. One good weekend and we think things have turned around. What is it....11 straight losses since this? Most of them have been lopsided losses.
John Burke coached the Engineers for 14 years: 2 years in D3; one in D1 Independent; and 11 years in ECAC. He led the Engineers to their only three winning seasons as a D1 team: 2005-2006 (independent) and '08-09 and '09-'10 in ECAC.
Sad, but true. The final 4 this year might be all from WCHA!
. But it will be a very unpredictable and competitive battle for ECAC championship. And I do not see Cornell as being dominant.
Sorry. Harvard and Dartmouth are both good teams. I made a similar mistake earlier in this thread when I sounded shocked by RPI's loss to Holy Cross....not realizing that HC has a pretty good team this year as well. It just demonstrates that i haven't been following college hockey as closely...
Ouch...that is painful. Just pulled a hamstring trying to jump back on the Engineers bandwagon after a road sweep of Dartmouth and Harvard. OK, it was only Dartmouth and Harvard, but still....this team seems to be developing quite well.
I always felt that Marah Wagner's leadership at RPI was underappreciated. Nice to see her make it to the pro league: https://www.thepwhl.com/en/stats/roster/8/7
anyone who has followed my posts here over the years will know that I have a reputation for being overly optimistic about the prospects for the Engineers. I am well beyond that now. We lost today 7-1 to Clarkson, at home, and outshot 57-10. This is no longer the competitive D1 team that it was a...
The lack of ambition for this team says it all. A few years ago I suggested they should aim to be in top 6 in
ECAC and coach thought I was being ridiculous. You cannot hit a mark you dont aim for. Before Vines that would have been a reasonable stretch objective.
So, is this rock bottom? Outshot 29-13 by Holy Cross. Holy Cross. I didnt see the game, but the line score is depressing. Looks like we took a lot of dumb penalties and had very little else to show.
