Congrats to the Tigers!!!
The site of the frozen four will be announced tomorrow, but it is expected to be RIT. I can't wait!
Middlebury beat Manhattanville tonight, 1-0, so they are our next opponent. We have a 2-11 all time record against them, having last played them in the 08-09 season at Ritter. We won that game 4-2. LETS GO RIT!

I was in CT when they last played in the play-offs. Some funky little rink inside an amusement park.
Time for the Tigers to send Manhattanville back home! Go get them!

Not sure what this means, as Manhattanville won't be within 250 miles of Rochester this weekend!!

I think it may be time to go D1... The tigers have played veryyyy few competitve games, and what fun is it beating up on everyone? They are going to win it this year for sure, but I almost feel bad for all the other teams. I want RIT to see a challenge. I would have to say the Plattsburgh games and the Amherst games were their only true test this year. Once defeating them it sort of felt like a given? but thats just my opinion. Oswego gave them a run for their money so maybe im wrong.

I think that's the plan, as soon as the NC$$ opens the door again.

Let's not jump the gun here. Both Norwich and Middlebury have formidable goalies and goal-scorers, and as we saw against Oswego, it only takes one outstanding performance to change the result everyone "knows" will happen. And as the men's team found out against Plattsburgh ten years ago, it only takes one lackluster outing to remove a team of destiny from its perch.

Where does this idea come from? There are a number of teams in D-III that could have put up 10 goals on Adrian, and those same teams are ones I wouldn't want to face come tournament time. In a one-and-done situation, anything can happen.

Re: >>>>RIT Tigers 2010-2011<<<<
Agreed. Platty played RIT very well this year and they are not a team I would want to be facing in the FF.
Going D1 will be interesting for RIT. Having good goaltending has been huge this year and will be crucial in the future. RIT also added size for this season. These changes indicate a move towards a more competitive and skilled team capable of playing D1 level opponents. I think they will still be competitive once the change happens and I look forward to catch some of those games even though I'm graduating (again), however, it may take a good three years to REALLY cement RIT as a perennial playoffs challenger.

I had pretty much the same thought when I saw the score.

None of the teams in the FF are cupcakes. If my memory serves me correct Middlebury has always played RIT tough. If the girls can beat Middlebury I'll feel alot better about them winning the whole thing, like they should. But when it comes to the playoffs anything can happen in one-and-done, just look at the first weekend of the AHA playoffs.

I would wager to say that teams like RIT, Plattsburgh, Amhearst, Middlebury, Elmira.... would be competitive with middle to low end D1 programs. Just like the low end perennial losers in DI should actually be DIII programs. How about actually having DII to include the lower level DI teams and the high end DIII teams? Would that not create parity at all levels? DII is able to give scholarships, so they would draw the talent, the girls that don't get the DI scholarships now, but are really too good to play DIII. I know, pie in the sky, but wouldn't it be nice?

One day, a Panther is out hunting in unfamiliar territory when she sees a Tiger. Being small and faster she could run away, but she is in the tight confines of the Ritter woods and speed wouldn't help her since she doesn't know the lay of the land. So, she spies a pile of old bones and settles down with them with her back to the Tiger.
"Mmmmm, that Tiger tasted good," she loudly exclaims when she senses the Tiger stalking closer, "I wonder if there are any more of them around here?"
The Tiger stops in her tracks. "Phew, I thought I could pounce that Panther, but I'm glad I didn't leap too soon -- she would have eaten me like she did that other."
The Tiger slunk away.
Meanwhile, a young Cadet who had been watching both sides of the event, saw the ruse that the Panther had performed and followed the Tiger to share his information with her and gain her protection and good favor (until he was big enough to carry his own gun).
When the Tiger heard about the deception, she angrily commanded, "hop on my back, we'll go back to that sneaky Panther and show her not to fool with Tigers!"
As the Panther was gamely trying to make her way home through the unfamiliar territory, the Tiger and the Cadet caught up to her and she saw and heard them in the distance. When she saw the Cadet with the Tiger, she knew something was up, so instead of running, she settled down again with her back to the two of them as they approached and started to growl.
As they came within hearing distance, she announced, "where is that useless Cadet? I'm starving! I told him to bring me back another Tiger an hour ago."
The moral: Be wary of experienced Panthers, and don't trust everything you hear.
