ok, ok. Let's not get carried away. Despite the Swiss Cheese defense Ottawa put up, there were many stretches of that game where it felt like (to me, at least) the Tigers weren't getting anything serious generated as far as scoring opportunities (reminiscent of last season except with more "early-season-sloppy", IMO). Aside from the goals, I can't remember too many "stand-on-the-head" type saves by the GeeGee goalies, despite the large shot total put up by RIT.
And don't forget ... Michigan >>>> Ottawa.
I certainly hope RIT can pull out a point or two this weekend, but it's going to take a much better effort and probably a bit of an off-day by the Wolverines for that to happen.

I understand that Michigan is a lot better. My statement was more reflective of the lines and strategies RIT used. We finally did things that we should have been doing for years. We always, always had a man in front of the net. We made a lot of chances for ourselves, and we didn't take stupid penalties.

If we lose the games I don't think it will be for lack of offense. And I'm positive this team scores a lot this year. We gained more in Hamberg than we lost in Burt, that's for sure.

The only knock ever for burt was that he liked to hold onto the puck too long. I don't think you can compare Burt with Hamburg, they're both 2 different styles. Burt was puck control, Hamburg seems to be more of a shooter, numerous times he would grab the puck quickly and fire it at the goaltender.

Only good things can happen when you throw the puck at the net.

here here, but there's something to be said for waiting and taking a precision shot like Hamburg did.

He did, but other times when he knew nothing was happening he'd just rifle one on net to get it on net.

We've always done a good job of recruiting, but from what I saw on Saturday, this is perhaps the most talented freshman class yet (I was particularly impressed w/ MacLean)

Critically, very few of the freshmen looked like freshmen. They all looked like they knew what they were doing and fit in with the upperclassmen. That speaks well to their mental flexibility and maturity.

I agree with a lot of this. J Mitchell didn't really stand out to me, but Miller looked good. Hamburg didn't seem to live up to his billing as a draft pick until, as you stated, later in the game. He looked like the best player out there at times, and his snipe was a beauty.

I guess I was watching a different player early on. I was very impressed with Hamburgh play early and then thrill at the end. He was one player I was watching early and I love his hockey sense. Thought he moved the puck smart and well and loved what he did after he moved the puck. More than once I saw him giving the puck up and then heading to the net. He got him self in good position for a few tip chances. He all most scored early when putting the puck on net from a odd angle instead of forcing a blind pass out front.

What was really nice to see was a the pressure RIT forcheck put on Ottawa. Defensemen was under pressure all night and turning the puck over like crazy. RIT's gap was very good early on.

There was moments of sloppyness as you would expect from the frist exhibition game, but was certainly one of the better exhibition games in recently memory. Two areas of improvements I saw, one faceoffs, especially early seems like we could not buy a draw. Seem to get better as the game went on. The other the RIT defenseman seemed a step slow at times in foot races for the puck. Got away with it Saturday, you know they are going to get tested this weekend.

Saracino made two very nice break out passed from behind his own net, one directly leading to goal. Nice to see him back...

Good luck to you too.

If the Huskies of UCONN are the ones that you follow, I noticed your schools banner hanging amongst the Hockey East schools at UNH's barn on Saturday night.
I guess they are getting an early start on your move east.

I want to go on record as stating if our offense can keep clicking like it did on Saturday, we can steal a game from Michigan.
Click to expand...

I agree. I don't think Michigan is expecting caliber team that RIT was this weekend. I think the Tigers could definitely pull off an upset. most likely in the first game.

No Torf was not. And if the box score is correct it was a 2-1 game with 51 seconds left in the 3rd. I would not read too much into that game, other than a lot of experimenting took place.

Good things* can only happen when you throw the puck at the net.




(* Assuming "good things" means "goals".)

Last years and this years recruits should be the best yet, as they are the first two classes to be recruited after the FF run. I would hope that the coaching staff could parlay that run into better recruits.
