    For one, a lot has changed in women's hockey in the last 16 years.

    Also, just because something worked well enough once before, doesn't mean one should just phone it in and do the same thing, expecting the same result.

    Given that Lovisa was as exceptional as she was, and with two more years to go, I would think that there would be a number of experienced Women's coaches that would have relished the opportunity to build a team around that kind of talent, and then have that foundation to build future teams on.

    But instead, they just got into bed with some leftovers that Smith didn't even want.

          Take heart RPI fans. No escaping the fact that this going to be a really tough season. We need to adjust our expectations and get behind the team as they make the most of what is available and begin to build for the future. My new goals for this season are twofold: 1) avoid the cellar, and 2) win the Union series. And for fans...just enjoy watching a group of athletes giving everything in every game and having fun.

            True, but people underestimate how much a great goalie also helps the offense. I only watched one women’s game this year, but it seemed as if they were afraid to make a mistake. When you have a great goalie you can take chances to push the puck, attempt a difficult pass, join an offensive rush or pinch in on the points. Those improve the offense with the concurrent risk that it could lead to an odd-woman rush and require the goalie to bail them out. Given the limited offensive skills the Engineers have had over the years, the change in the style of play can make a significant difference.

                Odds are 50-50 for that if we're being honest. This team is pathetic, 0-20-1. McElroy is going to have a lot of questions to answer if he does not fire Vines after the season.

                  In case anyone was curious, KRACH gives us an expected point total of 2.2 at the end of the season, about 17 points out of a playoff spot (the bar for which is admittedly high this year). We can hang our hat on the fact that we at least aren't as abjectly garbage as the NEWHA, but just by virtue of that measly tie. It's gross.

                      Granted I graduated RPI 17 years ago in May, but when did the Tute start offering HandSS as a major? For that matter, what is it? :

                      And, why is she undecided, she only has to choose Left or Right

                            If it's been a while for you, think about me.

                            BTW, no matter what she is majoring in, hopefully she has goals.

                              This recruit looked good when first announced and better now. She is off to a really good start in the CSSHL, fourth in scoring in 12 games: 7-13-20. The Edge school has produced a number of really good players over the years who have gone on to NCAA, Canada U18 and pro careers.
