    RPI 2025–26: Off the Critical List and In Recovery

    I’m optimistic but I always pause when reading claims about improved recruiting. I’ve heard similar claims about great recruits too many times over the past 20 years that mostly didn’t pan out. Agree that performance of the team on the ice is improving.

    RPI 2025–26: Off the Critical List and In Recovery

    I heard all the perfunctory compliments but the clear implication was he was upset that his vastly superior team got taken to overtime by an inferior opponent.

    RPI 2025–26: Off the Critical List and In Recovery

    Humility? I have the opposite view. Saying that your team could only get a garbage win by one goal, and in overtime at that, is denigrating your opponent. To do it publicly demonstrates arrogance and a lack of class. Those comments should have been confined to the locker room.

    RPI 2025–26: Off the Critical List and In Recovery

    I hope you’re right. I was at both games and thought we were outplayed by a wide margin overall both nights but especially Friday. The big difference on Saturday was in limiting the opponent’s shots. And our powerplay and penalty kill are really bad right now. The Sitar and Rullers goals were...

    It’s always unwatchable.

    RPI 2025–26: Off the Critical List and In Recovery

    The seating and seat spacing are the most comfortable in college hockey and better than any pro arena. Don’t replace it with those small crappy plastic seats designed for people less than 6’ tall.

    RPI 2025 Off-Season: Help Is On the Way

    I regret raising this issue on this forum. And I regret even more asking the question about the legality. It was misplaced sarcasm since there clearly is no legal basis for actions meant to intimidate Harvard, and others including non-Ivies, due to ideologic differences.

    So you think the administration acted illegally?

    RPI 2025 Off-Season: Help Is On the Way

    Yesterday, the administration in Washington, DC revoked the ability of Harvard to accept foreign students and keep those already enrolled. If the courts allow that to stay in place or the administration continues to defy the courts, Harvard, and other universities in the crosshairs, may lose...

    If everyone who entered the portal leaves, we would only have 9 from last year’s squad returning.

    RPI 2025 Off-Season: Help Is On the Way

    I agree with most of this but mostly absent from the discussion is the Titanic change in D1 caused by the start of direct, and indirect, pay-for-play. I realize that most of the direct money will go to men’s (American) football and basketball and possibly women’s basketball but I suspect that...

    All good points. Negotiating the terms of the contract alone could take a few days. RPI may not be offering what the candidate expects.

    RPI 2025 Off-Season: Help Is On the Way

    All this speculation about an announcement today assumes that there are no negotiations over the contract terms and the chosen candidate doesn't require time to discuss with his family. I know I never accepted a job that required relocation before discussing with my family. Employers generally...

    If he’s the choice I won’t hold his bad taste in baseball against him.

    RPI 2025 Off-Season: Help Is On the Way

    Having seen all of their games except 2 in person since Covid and approximately 95% of their games over the last 30, I disagree. Away wins at Clarkson, Yale, Brown, and Dartmouth and a very close loss at Qpac proved otherwise. Although those were not really good teams, most showed they were...

    RPI 2025 Off-Season: Help Is On the Way

    No joke. I’ve attended (in person) every Freakout for about 30 years and I’ve been watching RPI games in person since 1970 so I don’t know how the crowd noise comes across on the TV broadcasts. Crowd noise is not that loud, considering there are 4,500 people in the seats, half of whom attend one...

    RPI 2025 Off-Season: Help Is On the Way

    Game atmosphere is overrated. I’ll cite Colgate’s success on the ice and their Freakout is nearly sold out and there’s still no atmosphere. Fans just sit and watch until there’s a goal. Attempts to start coordinated cheers (Go Red, Go White; Let’s Go Red!) fail. I like the idea of reducing...

    Game atmosphere is overrated. I’ll cite Colgate’s success on the ice and their somnambulant game atmosphere as an example.
