****. I think teams are starting to take more runs at DeMike since he is retaliating.

Got back from the game not too long ago. The Pioneers were gifted the second goal when the refs missed the offsides. Legatto made huge saves when it counted. They also out-hit us for the most part. Greg Rodriguez continues to move up my list of opposing players I can't stand.
As for the Tigers, I wasn't really impressed with the defense and DeMike's play. The major positive is that the team kept battling and were one ridiculous save away from tying the game. Coach Wilson was also at peak form when ripping into the refs.

The dismissive wave after Matic's misconduct penalty was practically a throwing motion. On the dismissive wave scale, that one was pretty up there.

Some Tidbit for the Army Week
- Speaking of Ripping officials, FCS Rocky Mountain ripped AHA officials Jay Durfee and Ryan Sweeney mostly on non calls for hits from behind. It was publically as big of a hit on AHA officiating that I’ve seen to date. At one point they said, “We do not have WCHA officials tonight, maybe that is why…”
- Check Magic Points Numbers. If my memory serves on tie breakers, 2 more Tigers Wins will give them home ice in the quarters. For the Regular Season title and #1 seed will take about 6 points. They cannot clinch this weekend due to Air Force not being in action. It’s practically all but over at this point. I think Wayne Wilson just shot me a dirty look. But it is going to take two sweeps for anyone to catch RIT. It hard to imagine Army and Canisius doing that, and Air Force would have to sweep at the Ritter.
- A Sweep at Army would be great. Would make it a most sweep weekend for Air Force. RIT would have two chances at home against Air Force to win a regular season title. To do that against Air Force would be great for morale. Also would make the final weekend against Canisius meaningless from an RIT standpoint.

Minor Nitpick. With only 6 points Sacred Heart could still tie RIT. Not sure who would be tops on tie breakers. 7 points are needed for an outright win. Unless SHU decides they want to drop another game.

Points head-to-head is the first tie breaker.
From AHA:
I don't really agree with this. While these tie breakers do tell you who is better between the two teams, the conference tournament is not about the better of two teams, its about all 10. Hypothetically, if we split against AF next weekend, and then we tie in points for the conference again, they would be the first seed, having the 3-1 record against us. But, I would think we are the better team in the conference, because we have more wins than they do. AF has 6 ties, where we currently only have 1. How can a team who has fewer wins, more losses, and more ties, be considered the top team? I think the first tie breaker should be conference record, followed by head-to-head record.

Shows you, with the current system, how important every weekend is and how costly any sweep is.
I'm thinking RIT splits every upcoming series with the outside chance of a sweep vs Army. That gives RIT the title but by a razor thin margin

Something is up with those stats his +/- is 0 for each line. Since he is a defensemen I really want to see those numbers unless of course he just happens to be even every single year for every single team
It is interesting to see a large number of players coming from the BCHL. What happened to that pipeline with the Green Bay gamblers though?

The BCHL reports +/- on their gamesheets, but doesn't accumulate them for season stats. I don't have nearly the time time or ambition to do that manually. ;-) The only leagues that I've looked at that report season +/- are the USHL and CCHL.
As far as the Gamblers pipeline, He's working as a assistant coach for the Tigers. It's been 2 years since Insalaco was with the Gamblers. Chances are all the guys he worked with are now gone.

Here is a decent article about local hockey official Pete Feola that gives some insight into the life of a hockey official. Pete is one of the lucky ones chosen to officiate at the Olympics this year.

I did not know he was a star player at Elmira.
Some quotes from the article:
Would love his take on Ed Boyle.

Yeah but you would think he'd still have a relationship with that team possibly. I don't know, we got some real good players out of that pipeline I would have liked more

He is one of the best refs I've seen work a RIT game (even better than Foote). Kudos that his hard work has paid off to get this honor.

In light of the recent announcement on the changing of the calendar system, anyone have any opinions on it from a hockey standpoint? Granted not as many students may be able to go which may affect student involvement at the games.. especially during those games in January. So the atmosphere may not be quite what it usually is during the Fall Semester break.
I think it may be helpful to schedule non-conference road games during some, if not most of January 2014, especially to boost our resume for the NCAA tournament should we end up beating those potential teams.
Anyways, I'm just looking for your thoughts/opinions so fire away.

One place it should help is attendance at the end of the regular season and start of the playoffs. Fans who have been around since the D-III days will remember how many times the ECAC West playoffs fell at quarter break.
It should be a huge bonus for the team, as they will have first semester exams during a break in the schedule (instead of during conference play) and they won't have exams right at crunch time at the end of the season schedule.

I also think it will be good for hockey and one possible benefit is that there will be more room for "townies" to attend games during the January break.
For many years, I have wanted two things at RIT ...
1. Division I Hockey
2. Semesters
Today, I am a very happy camper.
In fact, about a year before the DI announcement Pres. Simone was doing strategic planning and asking for input on how to improve retention. I wrote him a letter explaining how I believed the above two items would be the best things RIT could do for retention, school pride, etc.
He wrote me back a very long and detailed letter that said that DI would NEVER happen at RIT (with his normal explanation about how it kills academics) and that semesters should happen, but it wouldn't be until RIT had a new President. I guess he was right on 1 out of 2. He actually announced DI hockey (and his change of mind was well documented) not long at all after writing that letter.
Anyway, I know you all don't agree. But today's announcement is the second best thing to happen to RIT in the almost 30 years I've been around campus. At least I'll get to enjoy teaching a few years on semesters before I retire.
