If we can figure out how to play with a man advantage or a man down, and just play better team defense over all - we can win this one.

 

[engineerhockeyfan]

I thought that they played pretty well last night until the special teams took over.
They have a real chance tonight if they can stay out of the box.

Lets go RED!!!!!!!!!!

Baseball fans probably recall that earlier this year, the Houston Astros tied a record for postseason futility at home when they lost all four home games to the Texas Rangers in the ALCS. The only other team to lose four home games in a postseason series was also the Astros, in the 2019 World Series against the Washington Nationals.

RPI hasn't won a home game this season and they play their home games in Houston, but they aren't the Astros. Princeton hasn't won a road game this season. Let's see if the Engineers can send the fans home happy after tonight's game.

Let’s go RED!!!!!!!!!!

RPI leads D1 in PIM/G. Combine that with the 2nd worst save % and you get the 2nd worst PK. But what’s impressive is that they also have the 2nd worst PP in all of D1, yet keep running the same system and players. Definition of insanity.

There are more team stats that are equally bad.

The good news is Princeton is not a good team statistically either. Tonight needs to be a win at home for the men in red, or the scrutiny and pressure will increase exponentially.

The female Engineers finish off a dissapointing weekend with a 4-2 loss to QU. I wiil try to put together more comments on the women's thread.
