I guess the game will be telvised on Time Warner Cable - White Out Day. The team ought to receive a huge thunderous applause when they take the ice. They have been away for 44 days. A chance to take back the ECAC lead. QU is idle.

Nationally we are #3 in Offense and #10 in Defense
ECAC we are #1 in Offense and #1 in Defense
The top 2 ECAC goalies (save percentage) will be going at it.

Good luck Dutchmen !!!

Two points ...... :)
This is another Harvard team I hope we don't ever see again.
Harvard has not beaten us in the last 9. We need about 30 more wins before we tie the series. :(
Another senior steps up ... this time Hatch. Decides we are not going to lose tonight and take matters into his own hands to insure it. Where do we find players like this? Can we clone them?

The Hatfields and the McCoys should provide some major entertainment in Albany tonight. The dominance of Union in recent years is astounding and surely galling to the RPI faithful. With their victory last night over a depleted Dartmouth lineup, the Engineers gained a modest lift. Union's game was not one of their best, which should inspire them to make amends this evening. The game is pivotal for RPI's psyche. College hockey always holds some surprises on any given weekend. It is unlikely in Albany.
 
Re: 2013-2014 Union Dutchmen - Can U Three Peat?

Union played an atypically sloppy run and gun game last night, but escaped with the win. Ghost was guilty of several egregious turnovers yet was still +3, and hasn't scored in several games. I think he is likely not 100%, but if he kicks it back into gear watch out. Let's hope Daniel Carr sets the record tonight. Eventually we will lose to RPI, but I'd prefer to put it off as long as possible. Should be fun tonight.

Just a point of information, we have not lost to Harvard in the last 9 and Princeton in the last 10. No one in the press ever made a big thing of it when we were getting mercilessly slaughtered year after year by some of our current ECAC friends.

If we win, do we get a trophy? Does it go back and forth like the Dutchman Shoes? Is it big like the ECAC trophy?

What happens if the game is a tie?

Not that I'm unhappy with the results.. but I agree that the team has been uncharacteristically lax defensively in the last 2-3 games. The SOG against totals in NH were quite shocking and I am concerned that team is thinking that it can win run & gun games.. of course, they have been winning these games so who am I say :rolleyes:. The Pontarelli-Vecchione-Hatch line is FAST-FASTER-FASTEST and a stroke of coaching genius! A perhaps unexpected plus last night was U doing pretty good at the faceoff dot, particularly Vecchione who I see won 11 of 16! Stevens let in a softie for the first time in about a month, so hopefully it will be at least another month before that happens again. Hoping the boys can keep the streak going tonight.

There is a trophy and it's a big one. Not sure about your other questions but I assume there is a tie breaking procedure, probably OT and if necessary a shootout.
 
Re: 2013-2014 Union Dutchmen - Can U Three Peat?

Is there anybody out there who can tell me what Bennett's 5 foot rule is? He referred to it in the press conference after the Harvard game.
 
Re: 2013-2014 Union Dutchmen - Can U Three Peat?

What a bush league response to WINNING a game. Wonder what RPI would have done had they lost. Bennett does not look too good either. The whole scene is deplorable.

You are the ones that dropped the gloves. Bennett should get a lifetime suspension for assaulting Appert.

If you think that the fight was started by RPI, you are SORELY mistaken.
