Love seeing this. About 1/4 of the crowd (if that’s what you want to call it) left early. In fact, I saw some people leave at the start of OT. I mean, really??? What can be so important that you can’t stay for a possible 5 minute OT? Glad to see all of them get burned. Maybe they’ll stay next time.
I appreciate your efforts of trying to reinvigorate student interest in RPI Hockey, but, can we get more creative with the cheers and trash talking? I mean, really, that goaltender shut out RPI for basically 59:34

Thought he shut us down for 59:58?? Over the years I can remember some that we have lost like this so this one is really very sweet. Congratulations to our new goalie on his first RPI win coming in such a dramatic fashion.
Congrats to Calvaruso with a win in his RPI debut.
BTW, would he be the first RPI hockey player to ever wear #38?

Going strictly by my memory (which is slowly fading) I had thought we had very few numbers used over 34 until of course 52 and 44 were worn by Brad Tapper and Brad Farynuk. I recall an occasional 35 and 36 and more recently 39 but not 37 or 38 until Ralph reminded me of Ohrvall wearing 38.
Emil Ohrvall two years ago was the only other one.
Not a good look. This team hasn't proven anything the past 10 or more years to allow for the fanbase to trash talk anyone. Also would you have actually said this to the goalie face to face? Think about it.
And what has Brown proven? What have they done in their entire history? And yes, I would and did yell this at the game to the goalie. I can't believe you're up in arms over this considering when you went to school at RPI, people would chant "the ref beats his wife" whenever he made a call people didn't like. That is FAR worse than anything else that is chanted nowadays

I am too lazy to check again about 37. I used a yearbook from about 10 years ago which has a supposedly complete list of who wore which number through that year and then the online rosters for the last few years. there I discovered that I did not remember that EO wore 38.
When I was an undergrad no one wore higher than 20. The max crept up to 30 and as you wrote there have been few numbers 40 or more.
Knocked RPI out of the playoffs for the last couple of years, both at Meehan and the Field House.
Just some minutia- I too am too lazy to look it up - but I recall at least once (and perhaps more than that) when we had more than one player wearing the same number during the same season. 50+ years of following RPI hockey can do some strange things to one's brain!
