BU @ RPI, Saturday 12/11/10

Re: BU @ RPI, Saturday 12/11/10

I am watching the Canadien/Red Wing game on NHL and they put up a graphic for tomorrow's BU/RPI game. Problem is, Bu is playing the RPI Red Hawks, whoever they are. :rolleyes::eek::mad:

I'm sure they googled "rpi hockey" and saw the first two search results listing "...Official site of the Red Hawks..." I don't know how one goes about undoing this, but that ought to be our new marketing person's #1 goal in life.

Once the fix that, they should watch the program on at 2PM tomorrow on the NHL network. Tiger Pride is a one hour commercial for Colorado College hockey. We need to get programming like that on a national network.

If you've got a media pass, yes, will be some internet in the press box. If not, hopefully you're live blogging from your phone, there's no open Wi-Fi unless one of the nearby dorms has an open signal (unlikely).

Yeah, we're in the press box. Good news.

Not sure how much of this quote I'm going to include in my preview, so here's the whole thing from Parker:

They're a great opponent, the atmosphere there is great, I love their rink.... but if one of my friends didn't get a job their I had no intention of ever playing them again? Hmmm half of that seems like coach speak to me, I'll let you guess which half;)
 
Re: BU @ RPI, Saturday 12/11/10

So many great memories of BU at the Field House. Capt. Jack has had so many good teams. Dave Silk, Jimmy Craig, Jack O' Callahan. The eastern core of the 80s Gold Medal team. My favorite BU players were actually the Fiddler brothers. And who can forget those awesome white hockey gloves.

Perhaps someone who was around at the time can provide more clarity, but I believe there were a lot of rivalries that were cut off for a while after the HE teams left the ECAC. I think there were a lot of schools who had no intention of playing some or all of the teams from the other league.

I don't go back that far, my first BU/RPI game I saw Mike Grier and Jay Pandolfo. Over the years I got to see a lot of future NHLers in BU uniforms. They have had great talent over the years.
 
Re: BU @ RPI, Saturday 12/11/10

I really do think having Hicks do the game is a mistake. His glaring downfall is interjecting himself in the game. Like most ECAC refs, he over officiates the game. This is a big mistake because it is a nationally televised game. IMO, this is Paul Stewart trying to stick it to our great coach. Sorry to say but nothing has improved under Paul's tenure. It's ashame because the league is getting better while the officiating is in decline.

Correct. Of course, quite a few combinations weren't really rivalries anyway.

The "divorce" of of the old ECAC into the current format was a tad bitter to say the least. Not to mention that JP might have been a litle ticked that he didn`t really recruit John Carter out of woburn and then he turned out to be one of the Key guys on the NC team at RPI. Plus I think everone had some sort of grudge against Addessa by the end of his days at RPI.

Also the HEA teams played that interlocking schedule with the WCHA for awhile which limited their OOC opportunities.

Is there anyway to watch this game online? Anyone know if any sites that may stream NHL network for free? I checked channelsurfing and nothing :/.
