Only managing 22 shots over a weekend sweep has to be a record. Drackett's on some kind of hot streak. His numbers are absurd.

Orange Cat Review RIT Vs. Air Force – Game 2

Puck Drop: Well after perhaps the "worst" win ever, RIT was back at it looking for bonus points up in the mountains. And it again was the story that just won't change. Logan Drackett, even Charles Williams should just be applauding at this point, this honestly is something I have not seen day in and day out since Dom Hasek was in his prime in Buffalo, 36-11 and 80-22 was total shots on the weekend. 79 saves...

Blame Game: : Linesmen were pretty bad all night, both ways. The contact to the head on Brubacher, in fairness I only got two regular speed look at it from the wrong angle, but the Air Force media guys both said no. If you really can't get it right with replay, I don't know where that leaves you....

Hockey Hero: Logan Drackett, anyone think he will get goaltender of the week?

Turing Point: Jake Hamacher finished off a great pass by Caleb Moretz, who is as advertise. Just seem like a forgone conclusion after that goal...

Hey, You Did Good: First ever sweep of Air Force, I know they are in a scoring funk, but that's something...

Look, You Need to Do Better: .966 save percentage, I think Drackett needs to do better... ;)

Good Move Wayne: You started Logan Drackett, again

WILSON!!!!!!!!! (Second Guessing Wayne): It was a better game than last night, but as Herb Brooks was known for saying "Better, but not good". It's funny how the narrative changes when you have to play a team the next night and when your moving on. I just can't sign off on the way the Tigers are playing, despite the results. Something gotta give at some point, I don't care about the shots they gave up, I care about 11 shots a game. Being held under 20 is not good, 22 in two games :eek::eek::eek:

Breathless: It Redundant at this point, I'm a catholic and I know better, but Drackett might be god right now. I was out of breath when Scott Bigger said on the post game a well deserve sweep, for Logan yes, rest of team..... no...

Next Shift Up: Holy Cross who lost to Merrimack last week, but came back to tie Saint Lawrence tonight. I wonder if Logan Drackett will start? Thanks for reading!

Point of clarification: it's not the first time they've ever swept Air Force - I know the Frozen Four team swept them when they clinched the conference against them in overtime on a Friday night, then proceeded to completely smother them in a 3-0 win on Saturday night. I'm pretty sure the other RIT team to win an NCAA tournament game also swept Air Force out of the Polisseni during the AHA playoffs. Hmm. I like that pattern.

On the USCHO spotlight podcast this week, Derek Schooley said something about having to remember to say 6 points instead of 4 with the new AHA standings. Looks like Wayne Wilson needs to also. From RIT’s recap:
“Great goaltending again tonight, but it was a gutty effort all around," said RIT head coach Wayne Wilson. "Killing off the five-minute major was huge for us, and to come away with four huge road points will help pay dividends down the road."

I think he meant to say it was the first time RIT swept Air Force at Air Force. I don't know that for sure, but I could buy it. They've almost never even earned points in a Friday night (Thursday in this case) tilt out in Colorado Springs before.
 
Re: >>> RIT Tigers 2019-2020: "We're on the clock" <<<

Okay, but what's up with that major against Brubaker?

Good thing we had that seventh defenseman.

Was anyone else having problems with score updates last night? Both this page's scoreboard and the CHN app were stuck at 5:25 of the second period from that point until the end of the game (and I never got a final score alert from the CHN app). I had to follow the Men's Hockey Twitter feed to get updates.
 
Re: >>> RIT Tigers 2019-2020: "We're on the clock" <<<

I would rather win ugly than lose pretty. But I would like to win pretty once in a while now :)

I think we all were wondering where the scoring was going to come from after the top line grraduated last year. It' good to see Cameron step up. But so far, I can't think of anyone else that is consistently a presence on the score sheet. Hopefully some good come cooking with 5 of the next 6 games at the GPC will get the Tigers offense going.

I thought I did say first RIT sweep "at" Air Force, not "of" Air Force, but I could be wrong.

And the live stats feed from Air Force did freeze with 5:25 remaining in the second period. All other sites are derived from the stats feed at each rink, so when the source freezes, everything else downstream chokes as well.

Everybody’s live scores and stats all come via collegehockeystats.net and they distribute the updates. That site receives XML files uploaded from the statistics software at each arena. There were a lot of network issues at the arena both nights.

This is what happens when the military retires a weapons system way too soon. All those carrier pigeons sitting in the airplane boneyards with nothing to do but eat and poop.

One could always listen to WITR for the latest scores of course. 😁

I think Ed might have accidentally said "over Air Force", but I could be wrong. I wouldn't have said anything if it didn't make it into Tom's post as "first sweep ever over Air Force ;)

If I did, it was by mistake. I know at least once I said at Cadet Ice Arena.

The Tigers first swept AFA in the 2006/2007 season during the month of February at the Ritter. From the results of away games, this past weekend would have been the first sweep at the Air Force academy. Of course, if they played them prior to the D1 era, they may have swept them but those results don’t seem available.

Nate Owens Monday 10, needs a closer look at by the editor/"stat boy" but hey I will take the positive press!!! :D


Drackett comes up big for Tigers
It’s not often a team comes away with four points after getting outshot by a combined total of 80-22, but that’s what happened for RIT last week, thanks to goalie Logan Drackett.

The sophomore made 43 saves Thursday in a 2-1 win at Air Force, and then had a shutout with 36 saves on Friday. It was the first time the Tigers’ Division I history that the team had swept a series at Air Force.

“Great goaltending, but it was a gutty effort all around,” RIT coach Wayne Wilson said following Friday’s game. “To come away with four huge road points will help pay dividends down the road.”
 
Re: >>> RIT Tigers 2019-2020: "We're on the clock" <<<

Drackett's save on a 2-on-1 breakaway (after an RIT defenseman fell down at the opposite blue line) made the #4 play of the week on USCHO.com.

Just published a new dashboard through Tableau Public (updates every week when games are completed) that takes a look at the whole of Atlantic Hockey. Currently has vizzes for Shot Share, Shot Rates, Puck Luck, Expected Goal Differential (this is a ***lite*** model and currently looks like it is over-emphasizing the importance of goaltending so I will look to make some adjustments), and Power Ranks that are generated using a single game predictor I have previously created.

The dashboard can be found here on Tableau Public.

The game predictor that some of the data is sourced from can be found here.
