    Is "re-centering" a PC term for a curve?

          I think Union will have a few more fans coming to their Schenectady ring, since they are number 1 right now. It will probably be a sell out. Good thing it's on TV.
          It should be an awesome game, with RPI coming out on top of course
          Hopefully the Zamboni works this year
          I wasn't at the last RPI-Union game at Union, but do their fans still throw stuff on the ice, getting their team a delay of game call.

            yeah too bad we couldn't have done that a bit earlier so it didn't go away

              Thanks for reminding me about "Orangegate" . What a nightmare that was. They haven't done that lately thank goodness, but if I recall correctly, security does do a rudimentary search of fans as they enter for RPI games.

                No more oranges. That was before my time apparently.

                RPI will truly be motivated to beat Union this time. The last two losses they had to Union this season were in heartbreaking fashion (just like the Union loss to RPI was in the first meeting in October). Also, Union is now #13 in every poll so RPI has probably seen that and will have that extra motivation going for them as well.

                Should be an awesome game!

                        And PWR which is obviously pretty **** important. And if you don't think the players check out the polls, you're just dead wrong.

                          You're right, PWR (and moreso KRACH) is very important, far more important than a poll ever will or could be. Though in the end, these numbers don't really mean much yet, In years pas USCHO hasn't even released their PWR numbers till midway through this month. They don't mean much until february and march.

                            And if you don't think they forget about them 5 seconds after they stop looking at them, you're UnionHockeyManiac.

IF both teams were to magically appear in the finals, logistically, it's a lot easier for the casual fan from the Cap. Dist. to make a last minute decision to attend than it is for say a Cornell or Harvard fan (does Harvard have fans?)
                              Knowing our luck, that will happen. Or worse, they'd meet in a first or second round series.

                              This has to be one of the most anticipated games between these two in a while. I don't think there was ever a time when both teams were playing as well as they are right now. I think the motivation for both teams comes from needing/wanting two points in the standings more so than to beat each other.

                                I think its a lot of BOTH. No lack of motivation for either team... Ought to be a dandy! I've got my tix.
