Ritter is always SRO but not always a sellout ;) but I expect this weekend it will be sold out as long as school is back in session. I'm not a student anymore so I don't know the schedule and I am too lazy to simply ask my brother who is :)

Classes started up again on Monday. I'd expect sellouts this weekend.

I've criticized this team somewhat over the yea,r due to some problems with the offense, but I'm more than happy to eat some crow and say this team is probably the most solid team we have had at the D1 level. The defense, and DeMichael especially, are playing exceptional and really the offense seems to have clicked in once Burt and Favot were sat down for a game. I know it burned a number of us to see them sat and drop a game to Uconn but I guess in Wayne Wilson we trust :)

I think that move shook up more than just Burt and FAvot. Mazzei picked up his scoring and Brenner finished strong. RIT will be tought to beat in the AHA tournament.

That sort of move will wake up a whole team when players see that nobody is immune from being benched.

Jared DeMichiel was selected today for the NCAA Skills challenge. The other eastern goalie is Ben Scrivens of Cornell.

Two other AHA players are in: Andrew Volkening from Air Force is on the west team and Army forward Owen Meyer is on the east team.

Now let's hope he cannot play ;)

And how many times did RIT win the regular season title so handily? Right; zero! There's good reason to be a bit more optimistic about the playoff results this year. I think that the results show RIT has the best team in the AHA by a fair bit this year. However, that means absolutely nothing right now and it is very easy to lose in the playoffs.

Of course we all know it could end as early as this Saturday. And also, there are more RIT fans knowledgeable and interested enough to watch the finals without RIT in them, than many other teams, especially AHA, have fans at their own playoff games. I'm pretty sure nobody at RIT is booking their trip to Detroit (or even the regionals) right now with intentions that they'll see RIT playing (they might be going anyway ... I have in the past.)

And I'd be quite satisfied (OK, shocked to death!) if RIT made like the Bills and went to 4 straight NCAA championship games and lost. That would sure get a lot of attention for RIT and we'd have our new arena, be a top national team for a long, long time, etc. A guy can fantasize!

I will say this...RIT does have a very good team...They have a really good defense which can also score.The offense is also good.They seem like they are the team to beat in the AHA. This weekend should be no problem against UConn...almost like a practice weekend ! Air Force totally destroyed Sacred Heart 2 weekends ago...SH can say it didn't matter...it does.Air Force looked good.HC against SH can be a very interesting weekend.I think if HC doesn't take stupid penalties,they can win this series. They have a very good defense...2nd in the league. They have to find ways to score. You can not give that 1st line the man advantage.Hopefully the league will force SH to get another rink to play in.That rink is a disgrace to D1 hockey !! AF wiil advance over Army. Mercyhurst should also advance !!

It would not be the playoffs if we didn't play Holy Cross at some point. ;)

I would not be surprised if 3 of the 4 quarterfinal series go to the full 3 games.

I've got tickets for Saturday's game against UConn.

I'm hoping for the place to be rocking and the brooms to be sweeping (I know, I know, one game at a time, etc., I'm still looking ahead to Saturday).

If you want to say hi, I'll be wearing a red RPI sweatshirt (I don't have any of my RIT gear with me this week), and am going to try to be there early enough to stand near the Corner Crew / pep band.

I can definitely see why you would not want HC to beat Sacred Heart. HC plays you guys very evenly.Think what you may, HC has a really good defense....right behind you guys ! just think...not one senior on the D. Always great games against you guys...no denying that. HC has a great chance this weekend. Reason people do not like you guys...from the fans, to the players, to the coach...You have NO CLASS.People wanted AF do good in the NCAA tourney...why...CLASS ORGANIZATION ! If RIT ADVANCES...NOT MANY PEOPLE WOULD ROOT FOR YOU TO WIN IN THE NCAA TOURNEY.

I hope it is an "orangish" red!;)
In all seriousness ... have a great time Saturday.

As far as our new-found haters go, I can only think of Yoda; "“Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering.”

Peace ... and drop the *** puck! (Sorry, was that classless???:p )

It's really a couple people trying to judge RIT based on 1 incident that RIT was partially (if that) in the wrong. Go to Chris Lerch's column from a couple weeks ago for more details and we have moved on.

I think it goes back to that poster from the first Atlantic regular season play that read attention Atlanic Hockey, we have arrived....

RIT has steam rolled into the Atlantic in a short while, only some playoff dissapointment has reduce the sting. I saw many out there are envious with hate...

Maybe Remy is back with a new user name??? ;)

If you want to see hatred, you should see what's being written in my rep comments ... it'd be enough to force a congressman to resign!:eek:

If you're planning on standing near the corner crew, you better stop by the campus store and get yourself some orange. It's sort of a requirement, but well worth it. See you there.:D
