Coach Smith mentioned on the WRPI interview that both parents of Harvard's Ryan Healey played at RPI. Does anyone know who his mother is?

mom’s name is Tish. Presumably short for Patricia.

 

[Go Puckman]

Good first period for RPI

 

[DrDemento]

No Muzzatti -- injury

Or just making room to play a senior instead for the last home game of the season?

 

[DrDemento]

Good first period for RPI

Anything would have been better than yesterday - but yes, we had by far the better of the play and some really good chances

Good first period for RPI

They look much better in the offensive zone, But still not good in the defensive zone.
Harvard looks just as bad as the Engineers.
And that is with 11 drafted players.

No one obvious.

I think that they said on WRPI it is an injury.

I don't think that RPI had a shot at the goal after scoring. I hope that they are not going to sit back in the third period.

 

[DrDemento]

Just too many passes just missing the mark. Could say the same for Harvard. Watson called upon to make two very tough in close saves but it does appear these are two offensively challenged teams. Still need 20 minutes of inspired play to put this one in the win column.

RPI had two shots on goal, both by Lee, in the next-to-last minute of the period.

For those of us who have implored RPI teams (all too often in vain) to stay out of the box, so far tonight they've done as well as we could possibly ask. No penalties against RPI through the first two periods.
