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.
This sort of post stabs me in the heart, because it is so painfully true. In the early years of RPI's D1 history the Tute was seen as an attractive, up and coming team and a desirable place to play. The only thing that can lift this team up to a respectable level is if the current players rise...
Bottom 4 for certain. And when I look at the other bottom teams I see more success at recruiting and retaining talent. So, 12th place place seems realistic, and depressing.
Always exciting to see the Engineers back on ice. But I don't think that there has ever been a year in their D1 history when the outlook for the season has looked so bleak. Nowhere to go but up from here, I guess?
It is hard to evaluate recruits. As a an oversimple approach I look at how teams have attracted members of the Cdn and US U18 teams. Even one or two players from those teams can have a big impact. Recruiting top players from Europe is a wild card, but important. Almost unique in the ECAC, RPI...
I have no expectations that this team can be in the top half of the Ecac this year. On paper they look to be a cellar dwellar. But when RPI first emerged as a D1 team there was so much excitement around the team and they beat some high ranked teams and exceeded expectations. It would be nice to...
Time to unfurl a new thread for a new season. Let's start by looking at the schedule: once again a pretty soft pre-season line-up. https://rpiathletics.com/sports/womens-ice-hockey/schedule.
I hope to continue to follow the Engineers but may not be as closely involved as in previous years. Anyone want to volunteer to start and sustain the 2025-2026 season thread?
Yes, thjs was a terrible call by the refs. and they even reviewed and then confirmed it!!! Can a forward not compete for a puck against a goalie FAR out of her crease!!!
Time to reflect on where this team has been, and where it is going. 18 years in the ECAC and the only two years that we have been above .500 on ECAC record was under the coaching of John Burke (.568 in 08-09 and .591 i 09-10). This year's record was about in the middle of the pack for those 18...
