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?

I'm not quite there with you, but then I'm sticking to beers. Maybe some DIPAs...

I think you might be hitting the sauce too hard. It was 7-2 after 2 so McKay/Vallette could have only been -7 after 40, correct? Not defending anyone tonight, because it was a cluster, but lets try to keep things honest. Looking at the currently available box score Vallete is at -4 and McKay at -3. Curiously, a couple members of our top line are -3 while the rest of the top line is -1 or even which is what I find more interesting. A couple guys trying to be hero's and staying out too long or what?

Edit - derp, reading comprehension fail. Tom said combined -8 so that could have been possible before they scored 2 garbage time goals in the third.

Combined -8, meaning both were likely -4 after 40.

I predict an RIT WIN tonight! Lets go boys! Yesterday was practice. Now we need to just win 2 games!

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...

Replace "... may have been..." with "...definitely was..." and I'm right there with you.
That sounded nearly as bad as the shellackings they took in the D-III Frozen Fours back in the late '90's. The only difference is that those were elimination games.
Not to minimize anything SHU did last night. They are a very good team right now that took it to the Tigers last night, but... From the sounds of the game itself and from Coach Wilson's comments, it's unbelievable that a team could play a post-season game like that. There is no way anyone in this conference is 5+ goals better than anyone else, especially at playoff time. They just had absolutely nothing last night. No fire, no fight, no passing, no energy, no speed, no goaltending, no defense, very little offense (ok, so there's something:mad:).

Cast my vote for an empty net, though he may be tired from playing a full 60 last night

Edit: finished reading comments and blazer beat me to it. Eh, still true

Regardless who is playing tonight for the Tigers, I hope they prove me wrong as I don’t have a warm and fuzzy feeling about tonight’s game. I’ve been wrong all year on these Tigers and I hope I’m wrong again and the Seniors can carry this team to a win tonight and a series deciding third game tomorrow night. Right now my gut says “no”, but again prove me wrong Tigers!

Wish I was as optimistic as you are. My heart is hoping for a win, but my gut fears a blown lead in the 3rd.
 
Re: >>> RIT Tigers 2018/2019 - Time For The Tigers to Roar <<<

Well, much better first period tonight. Granted it couldn't get any worse, but a 3-0 lead is pretty sweet.

Yep, my bad. I missed the "combined" and have edited my comment.

The Stat sheet I saw after 2 had one at minus 3 and the other at negative 5. Tough night, but that was about everyone, just the two that had the misfortune of the worst Stat end od the spanking
 
Re: >>> RIT Tigers 2018/2019 - Time For The Tigers to Roar <<<

So up 4 going into the third where the Tigers seems to give up 90 goals, but I'm not worried

Inauspicious start to the 3rd, giving back 1 goal to make it 5-2.. now a penalty by Vallette.

Tigers...thank you for proving me wrong tonight... now both Blaze and I will be stressing out tomorrow night. :) Blood pressure will be jumping a few points no doubt, will keep the chewable aspirin handy...

I'm taking Tom's route tonight, going to be a good game if both teams come out firing. 3rd period was a little rough to listen to.

There's video of all ten goals on the school's website.
