I, for one, would love to see RIT beat Air Force in the playoffs.

You may get your wish unless Holy Cross can score more than 2-3 goals a game in this series.

But this would be the year where the Tigers should sweep AFA so bring them on!

Brady Norish was a unanimous all-rookie selection for Atlantic Hockey. He was the only RIT player to make the team.

This is fitting. Brady was one of our better players on the team, not just among the freshmen. No other freshmen really stand out to me as being difference makers yet, though his twin brother is probably the next best one. I think Mikowsky has potential but it'll depend how he's utilized.

So two questions:

Is there going to be a group welcoming the bus back from Erie?

Are the women's quarters normally broadcast on TV?

I just saw that Canisius and the Harbor Center are offering Fan (family) Ticket Packs for the AHC tournament. Four tickets, four hot dogs, two Harbor Center pucks, and a bucket of popcorn for $40.

Is RIT offering anything like this?

Question is does anyone in Buffalo know it, I live here, but have no heard anything about any specials for Canisius games...

I'm wondering how they are offering it since ticket revenue from the playoffs goes to the league, not to the schools.

I'm not so sure I want to play Air Force anymore...they have a 10 spot and counting against AIC tonight after scoring 6 of them last night. Meanwhile Holy Cross is struggling not to get swept by Niagara.

10 goals is hard to do with any team... I'll take a struggling Holy Cross team any day. After a three game series they're going to be a little drained for next week. Let's hope they can beat Niagara!

Congrats to the Lady Tigers indeed! I'm going to be honest here, I thought this season was done come the last game of the regular season for them. Binnington has been on fire. The Tigers have been out shot in every game by far this post season and she keeps them in the game! Anything can happen this post season.

I've been impressed with the freshmen class as a whole but Golberg and Powell in particular - they've both got serious hustle. Golberg's been playing great and his ice time has been increasing steadily as a result. I expect him to play a big role in the team's success the next few years. There have been times I've seen four freshmen out there at once, in tough/important situations, against tough opponents, and they're doing better than just holding their own. OT last weekend was one of those times - Powell, Golberg, Norrish, and Amlong were out there (with Cameron) with less than a minute to go in OT and home ice advantage on the line. That says a lot. I think there's a lot to be excited about these next three years.

Subsidize it? Anything to get fans in the seats, right?

It's not just Binnington, at least according to her. The skaters are doing a good job of keeping shots to the outside and letting her see them.

Well of course she's not going to say "Yeah, it's all me" but I think we all know that most of the ladies huge upsets have come because of Binnington. She's stood on her head time and again in big games and is one of the nation's best goalies. It will be tough to replace her, that's for sure.

Sure, she doesn't allow soft goals. She's absolutely money. But with the skill of some of the shooters around D-I, even the best goalies could get hung out to dry if her D didn't keep those shots outside.

With the Niagara win tonight, looks like Air Force will be coming to town next weekend.

I think RIT has the horses to compete at home against Air Force. The one thing that Air Force had in the recent past was Torf who seemed to play well against RIT much like Ginn at HC seems to do against RIT. This is a good match up for RIT. I like it better than HC if you look at how RIT has competed against each this season.

I agree with this statement although, it terrifies me. Air Force has spanked RIT every single time in post season play. But let this be the year, which curses are broken.

I would be so stoked to see the GPC sold out, I doubt it but this is the first time ever that RIT will be playing a rival in the playoffs at home. Will RIT really go hard and advertise this match up?

I would laugh my butt off if Niagara beat Robert Morris. I think it's possible.

I'm sure RMU was pulling for HC last night. Niagara is playing well at the end of the season and should give RMU some difficulties although I think RMU at home should prevail. What has to be on RMU's mind though is if they lose a three games series at home against Niagara does that negate a bid to the NCAA's? Probably. Next weekend will be exciting for college hockey fans.

Robert Morris is 26th in both Pairwise and RPI, and RPI at least will get worse after a series against the worst team in the country (destroying their SOS). Add at least one more loss onto their record and they have zero chance of making the NCAAs as an at-large team.
