Always go to the Trefzger for good news!!!

I just posted this on Twitter numbers from Niagara that show just how much tougher the Atlantic is these days

Since joining AHA NU is 94-119-35 (Conf) with 1 regular season title and 1 NCAA Appearance

CHA Niagara was 116-68-28 (Conf) 3 Regular Season Titles, 3 tournament titles, and 3 NCAA Appearances

Not sure how those numbers show that. I think Niagara is objectively a worse team right now than they were eight years ago when they first joined the league.

Now run those numbers with Robert Morris and Air Force.

Just look at Chris Lerch's preview of the NU - AFA series where it says that while in the AHA Air Force is 20-9-2 against Niagara, in the CHA Niagara was 22-6-2 against Air Force. In those cases it has less to do with the relative strength of the conferences than the teams themselves. As was just stated, Niagara was a significantly better team in those days than they are now. The reverse can be said of Air Force.

I think some people are raising good points about the facts that lay behind those numbers. One other I will bring up is Niagara Athletics in general have seen a decline in performance across the board. So I admit that has something to do with the number. But do remember that many people consider the CHA a much better conference that the MAAC/Atlantic. I do think there are some interesting tidbits in these numbers.

Further more it is interesting when you consider Air Force and Robert Morris, and oh don't forget Army was in there for a season (99-00). Air Force left the conference 4 years before the conference collapsed. When they left they were far from a power house, never winning a CHA Title and never even made it to the Championship game. That program changed dramatically when they joined the AHA. Robert Morris really has an argument for the most consistent performer in AHA play, especially if you remove this year's numbers. That being said they only won the AHA once.

NCAA Tournament numbers also interesting in it's 11 year history the CHA was 3-10, in 15 years the AHA is 7-16.

There a lot more to the story of the changing college hockey landscape, but I remember some Niagara Alums complaining about go to the inferior Atlantic when they made the move and it's a little funny now...

Well, half way through the 2nd and Drake to out Adriano in. That kind of says it all. Getting beat all over the ice. Tigers look really slow out there.

Andriano just gave up a woeful goal as well....just wow.
 
Re: >>> RIT Tigers 2018/2019 - Time For The Tigers to Roar <<<

I remember a game at Bentley that was like this. Tigers gave up eight goals that night. 8-2 was the final score in that game

To finish reading the Stat sheet. The pairing of Valette and McKay is a combine -8 after 40. That's a rough night...

Short is in net and it's 8-2 SHU

I'm going to do a double shot for every goal they give up tonight. Whose with me?

Drackett.

Don’t think it will matter though. Unless this is the hockey version of rope a dope I’m not sure the Tigers will climb out of this mental hole.

Definitely Drackett tomorrow, but the first goal is going to be a big one. Tigers have to score first. I think they're so fragile now that if they fall behind, it's going to be all over.
 
Re: >>> RIT Tigers 2018/2019 - Time For The Tigers to Roar <<<

When you take into account quality of opposition and stakes of the game, that may have been the worst performance of RIT's D-1 history...

They've got about 21 hours to pull it together.
