      Another loss but a step forward. Union came out very poorly, getting outshot 18-6 in the first period and trailing 2-1 after 20. It seemed like maybe another long night was ahead. But Union settled down - they outshot RPI 20-12 the rest of the way, including by a 15-5 mark in the third period. Considering some of Union's third period efforts this season, it was encouraging to see.

      Union just couldn't find the equalizer but were the better team in the third period. If they can play like that for a full 60 tomorrow, you have to like their chances to finally get a win.

      Should be a good game in Troy tomorrow.

When we are on offense we are unable to get the puck out of the zone. No one's fault. We just don't have the skill, talent and/or experience. By the way, Ken Schott, IMO sucks. Good times or bad, he will find something shi**y to say about the team or the school or the coaches.
        Ken Schott had a podcast before the first RPI game where he ridiculed the team and made fun of them comparing them to the girls team. Even his podcast partner said he himself was not going to get into "insults". The worst part of this year will be putting up with Schott. IMO he is a POS.

              Yesterday's game was a perfect example of what a team without confidence looks like. Players unable to pick up passes cleanly. Breakout passes to players who are standing still. More chips and flips than passes. Loosing most of the puck battles. Then, they got a couple of bounces go the right way in the third period and suddenly, the doubt seemed to evaporate. They started to believe. I think there is some talent here, but they are fragile. I expect them to start the next game with a bit more bounce in their step. Let's hope they get a few breaks and then we can watch the confidence build.

                    Because of the team he was left by Nate Leaman. Try to learn some UC history.

                      Bennett was promoted to Leaman's associate head coach in 2007, running the defense and the special teams. They are arguably Union's greatest strengths. This past season, the Dutchmen owned the nation's best power play (29.5 percent) and second-best goals against average (2.10).

                      "He knows the pattern for how to win at Union, because he helped build it," Leaman said.

                      In the days before Leaman left for Providence, Union's athletic director had asked him who, hypothetically, might be a suitable replacement. Leaman gave only one recommendation -- Bennett.

                        Another Quote from Leaman

                        Leaman, the school's all-time leader in wins with a 138-127-35 mark in his eight seasons at Union, was pleased that his former assistant got the nod.
                        "I'm ecstatic that they (Union) made the right decision to hire Rick Bennett as head coach," Leaman said.
                        "He deserves it and is going to do a terrific job. It is the right thing for the program."

                          I don't care if he was left the team by Scotty Freaking Bowman.... he led a group by Boston College and Minnesota en route to the National Championship. Your argument drowns in 1.7 inches of water.

                            Five years ago. It was Leamans team that won it all. I just think the long term contract was a mistake, don't hate so much, son.

                              You are absolutely right and we should all just ignore this guy. Don't feed the troll...Union Saturday night was a different team than they were Friday. They made adjustments that impacted RPI and it earned a young team a road win in league play. That's coaching and that's detail the troll could never unclench long enough to realize. Union will be just fine by the time the 2nd half rolls around, i predict.

                                Agreed. Hopefully Foo and Adams return from injury for the 2nd half as well.
