RIT Tigers 2012-2013 season

Re: RIT Tigers 2012-2013 season

By the way, Yale has fallen to 0-4 all-time against RIT.

Re: RIT Tigers 2012-2013 season

What I said was that at the moment MercyHurst are closer to the Middle than the Top. I count 8 in Hockey East, 12 in ECAC, 6 in CHA nd 8 in WCHA for 34 so if you add Sarcred Heart that makes 35 so from my perspective middle is 18. Even at 10th in the Nation (preseason Poll) you are closer to the middle than you are the top. I never suggested that ther are 18 teams in D1 better than Mercyhurst. Just that they are not the powerhouse that one of the previous posters was making them out to be.

I wouldn't say Mercyhurst is that powerhouse either but it looks like your assessment is still a little off on where Mercyhurst lies right now.

I noticed Binnington was in goal again, as she was for the Yale game. Is she our new #1?

I don't believe so. 2 game series, each will play 1. I believe that Coach gives them a choice of which game they want to play.
 
Re: RIT Tigers 2012-2013 season

Potentially bad news - Yokoyama apparently went into the boards feet first tonight and injured her knee or leg. She was checked out by training staff for a while on the ice before being helped off, unable to bear any weight on the injured leg. She left the rink on a stretcher. Hoping for the best and a speedy recovery!

Their sick bay is getting pretty full. Hope it's nothing serious. It says 2-2 OT Final. Do they not do shootouts in the CHA?

They do not do shootouts. On the men's side, the NCAA rules leave it up to conferences to decide whether they want to do shootouts or not - I assume this holds true for the women too. I only know of the CCHA (men) using a shootout. Even with a shootout, the official result is still a tie for NCAA purposes.
 
Re: RIT Tigers 2012-2013 season

The CHA women did have shootouts at one point, but have not in recent seasons. Same with Hockey East women. WCHA women still use shootouts, and thus, their games are worth 3 points (3 for a win in regulation or overtime, 2 for a shootout win, 1 for a shootout loss, 0 for a conventional loss).

Thanks for the lessen. I knew that shootouts didn't count in non-conference standings but I thought that they were part of conference play. I am never to old to learn something new.

I didn't know that either. I am new to the D1 womens game :p

Cali,
Were you at either game? Just curious if anyone was there in person. Both box scores looked lopsided in favor of RIT. PSU goalie looks Like the real deal.

No. I watched Thursday's game on America One (last two periods only as feed didn't come available until the second) and followed second game on Gametracker. Thursday's game was a bit sloppy but RIT was definitely the better team. My D said that Friday's game was as one-sided as the shots suggested. They fell asleep at the wrong time to give up the 2 goals and Paniccia played a great game to keep it at a tie.
 
Re: RIT Tigers 2012-2013 season

Pretty quiet in here now...

I am glad to see Yokoyama wasn't too injured at Penn State (she left the Friday game with a knee injury). I think the team is playing pretty well for their first year in D1. It looks like they may have a hard time playing 2 D1 games in 2 days - they looked tired on Saturday, but were still able to keep Syracuse to just 2 goals.

I don't really have any complaints - at least they are playing better than the men :p

Now we just need some home wins, but they have 7 away games before coming back to the Ritter on 12/15....Anyone planning on going out to Syracuse next Tuesday?

Going to Brown on the weekend. Looking forward to that.

Congrats to Payerl for winning CHA Rookie of the Week.

I thought they looked good considering they played at Colgate the night before, and SU was off. I thought RIT was the better of the two teams and controlled the majority of the game. SU controlled parts of the game but that was usually when RITs 4th line was on.
Overall, as a fan I'm really impressed with this team and how hard they play. Good luck with the next 7 road games. Tough test ahead. And exams.

I agree, they are definitely holding their own. Offensive output was a big worry, especially after losing McCrea for the season and then Kunichika (who is now back). They are getting scoring from lots of different places and are doing quite well on the PP. Brown this weekend is another good test as they should match up well with them. Look forward to the rest of the ride.
