First, RIT hasn't had streaky goalies, instead they've had missing ones. Its not easy winning games with your 5'7" club goalie is the guy starting four games.
Second, what Wilson has done here since he's been here is certainly not "peanuts" to Pecknold. Just 11 seasons ago this team was a division 3 team. Since then, RIT has won 4 regular season conference titles, 3 AHA tournament titles, 3(or more?) NCAA tournament games, was the first ever #16 to knock off a #1, and reached the Frozen Four once. How can you explain this success? Is it the competition we play against in conference? Of course not. Do we get good players because of our home crowds? Maybe, but the road crowds kind of cancel that out. Do players come here for the facilities? Maybe now, but before last season, we had a very tiny, outdated rink, so that's not it. Scholarships? Since we are only D-1 in ice hockey, we're not allowed to offer them, so that's not it. So how does a team in the worst conference, without scholarships continue to have this type of success? Simple. Wayne Wilson. He finds the perfect players for his system year in and year out. All these guys that you scholarship folks forgot about, because of size, speed, or whatever, and they come to us. Then, Wilson puts it all together, and bam. In just 10 seasons, he will be at worst 3-3 in the NCAA tournament, with a frozen four, and plenty of league titles to go with it. To call what coach Wilson has done "peanuts" is an absurdity. The way he and his staff put together their team every year and get them to compete with the best in the country every year is nothing short of remarkable.
Now I don't want to take away anything Pecknold has done, but to Wilson has done just "very well", and is "peanuts" to Peck, well, that's just downright disrespectful.
