Dartmouth @ RPI, Sunday 3/6/22

500 fans? Are there still some attendance restrictions, or is this just indicative of the low level of interest in RPI hockey currently?
 
This brings back unhappy memories of 2013.

RPI lost the first game to Brown, but won the second handily.

Dominated the third game from start to finish, but fell behind early and Brown's goalie stood on his head and preserved the lead the rest of the way.

There still are restrictions including proof of vaccination, but I am pretty sure that at least 1000 tickets were available.
 
We owned the first 10 minutes. Threw all sorts of stuff at goal and could have or should have come away with something. All to often we seem to do that and now we are down 1-0 on what may have been the only really good chance DC had at the time.Now th e momentum is obviously different. Will have to score the next goal or the hill will just very hard to climb. Still do not like the way our defense men are being undressed by DC forwards who are faking them out of their skates at times and although the first 1/2 of the period we seemed to get out of our zone quickly, the second half the DC fore check had us hemmed in for too long each shift.
 
What a depressing period of hockey. Dominate the first half of the period, win every board battle and outshoot DC 12-2, then DC gets one good rush down ice and scores on their third shot. Then RPI scrambles the rest of the period like a bunch of chickens with their heads cut off, failing to do any of the things that saw them dominate the beginning of the period.

Inability to put a couple pucks in the net when they have all the momentum has been a killer for RPI all 3 games this weekend, including the game they hung on to win yesterday. Coupled with DC occasionally blowing past the D and scoring on their odd-man rushes is making this a very uncomfortable series that otherwise shouldn't be.
