i am not going to flood this thread with pictures, but i wanted to share my favorite pic from that night. i overheard a dad telling his kid that night to watch for number 18 on the orange team because he had "one of the hardest shots he had ever seen".

No matter what happens RIT can not face Holy Cross in the Quarters, no purple in the Ritter for next weekend...

Aww. I'm always in the mood to sing "We beat up on a purple hockey team..." Although, with my color blindness, I'm not always sure when it's applicable.

Holy Cross won tonight so we will face the winner of the Bentley/UConn game tomorrow night.

Looks like we'll be seeing UConn next weekend. Any thoughts? Seems a bit less scary than Bentley to me.

Connecticut with only 7 wins all year beat Bentley twice and RIT once. I doubt either team is scary to RIT particularly at home but for the second half of the season UConn improved.

See you next week. It's always a great experiece to go to Ritter ...

We also improved in the second half of the season. However, I don't expect Uconn to go out with a whimper like Canisius did. Should be a good series.

The last time Uconn played at the Ritter, RIT won 6-2 and 7-0. Then RIT won 4-0 at Uconn but the game they dropped Maledora was in net and Burt and Favot were scratched (which has since lit a fire under their ***).

Yes anything can happen in the play offs but it is a series... I hope you have fun at the Ritter at least

Re: >>>>> RIT TIGERS 2009-2010 <<<<< Rockin' Part 2 - The Playoffs

Totally off-topic, and I realize it's a moot point now, but I was just looking into the league's scheduling the last four years.

The way I thought it was supposed to work was that each team had one schedule partner that they always play four times a year, while the other eight teams rotate among 4 games (for two years), 2 games at home, and 2 games away.

RIT's schedule has indeed followed that pattern. We've played 16 regular-season games against Air Force, and 12 against every other team. We played Mercyhurst, Canisius, AIC, and Bentley four times each in each of our first two years; in each of the last two years we played Army, Holy Cross, Sacred Heart, and Connecticut four times each.

So imagine my surprise when I saw that Army has never played Air Force four times in the regular season, and has played Sacred Heart and AIC each four times every year. Sacred Heart has never played Bentley four times, but has played Army and Holy Cross four times every year.

What's up with that? Is the Sacred Heart-Army series a special dispensation for some reason, at the expense of games against Bentley and Air Force, respectively? Or am I totally missing something obvious here?

Don't hang that loss on Madelora. He did his job that day - the offense did not due thiers.

Re: >>>>> RIT TIGERS 2009-2010 <<<<< Rockin' Part 2 - The Playoffs

So i was sitting here and pondering this..don't mean to jump the gun, but I wanted to throw this out there.. if by some chance RIT makes it to the frozen 4 in detroit at ford field, do you think RIT would take out their wallet and get a bunch of buses for students to go to the tournament? It would be April 8-10 (Thurs to Saturday). If I were RIT, I'd do it just b/c it's the 1st time ever that something like this occurred at the D-1 level and I'm sure it would get people excited. Hell, I'd cancel Thursday classes just so people can leave early in the day for Detroit, since it is a long drive. I know it's early but it is worth a discussion.

I definitely would not jump the gun. Yes...RIT has a very good team...while you have won 3 regular season titles...how many times have you made it to the AHA finals ??? ANSWER-ZERO !!!Definitely do not jump the gun...You guys could be at another finals w/o the home team there...unless they're in the stands watching !!!Regular season means nothing...You guys are like your neighbors...the Buffalo Bills....but then again...they did make it to the Championship !!!

I don't remember all the details, but you always play your travel partner 4 times and then there a rotation for teams you play 4 times and times you place twice. But as you said its a moot point cause its all going to change next year, my best guess is that Air Force and Army would have been due to hook up 4 times next year...

Sadly, there's only one way to shut them up, and it's all in the hands of the players on the ice.

All we can do is cheer.

Easy killer I didn't blame anything on Maledora I just pointed out 3 of our best players were out so that probably didn't help

Re: >>>>> RIT TIGERS 2009-2010 <<<<< Rockin' Part 2 - The Playoffs

i have been lurking for two years or so now and recently gave in and got an account. graduated last year and a big fan, yadda yadda yadda. anyway, i put up a few pics from the rit / army fight in the thread related to the incident. unfortunately i did not get any vid of the incident, but you can kind of see a little action right after the hit that started it all up.

Hey can you forward those Pics to Ryan Sweeney, Jay Durfee, Steven Meyer, and Tony Guglietti. Oh and CC Eugene Binda and Bob DeGregorio. Ask them how Jeff Smith was fighting in the altercation you can see his gloves are on as Ikkala is hammering away. Has to be the worst call of the year that Smith got a game DQ out of that. The way it was call, he was better off to drop his glove and go, at least he would have gotten his money's worth, is that the message AHA wants????

What do you really expect from a 2 bit league run from an office located above a liquor store? Seriously, if it weren't for Lou Spiotti's input into how the AHA is run, it would be an even bigger joke than it already is.

The AHA has no idea how to handle discipline matters. None. Proven during the whole disaster with Canisius 2 years ago, and further proven with the whole deal with Army. If AHA had a clue at all, they would have issued a formal reprimand to the Army AD, demanded a formal apology be published for his incredibly dumb statement, suspended the correct parties for the Army incident, etc. Nevermind the fact that Mr. Hudson and how he was handled...
