I am curious what the fans who were at the game were thinking when you could see that the scoring was too easy. Were you thinking, "Oh boy, this isn't good" or "cool, I wonder if we can get 20" or something else. Seriously, just wondering what the fans were thinking as this was developing.

Not at all I say this as one that has no vested interest in RIT. The core group of fans have done a great job of letting everyone know that he is alone with his thoughts.

All I wanted was 13 so we could use the Fibonacci sequence in counting goals. After that I stopped caring.

I myself just couldn't believe they were still going in. Typically after 6 goals or so, you start wondering if you'll get to see some action and see your goaltender making saves. It really doesn't help us gauge our goaltenders' skill levels when they don't face any shots. It was kind of a "hey, I wonder how many they can actually score, but holy cow can this game just be over already?" Some people left, the rest of us just sort of stopped cheering. I definitely wouldn't say we were egging them on to run the score, especially when it became evident that we'd be occupying ourselves coming up with clever "we want ____!" goal cheers (see below).
I wouldn't say it's fun to watch a team get routed like that. I like a good 6 or 7 goal game now and then, but this left me walking out going "did that just happen?"
I'm ecstatic we were able to sweep, but boy oh boy was it lopsided on Saturday. I hope Potsdam can take some things away from these games to help make their team better. I'd rather see close, competitive games than double-digit routs.
Preeetty much.

Re: RIT Women's Hockey 2009-2010
I was at the game on Saturday (as well as Friday), and i only remember the first line being on the ice for one shift in the 3rd period on saturday, and that was immediately after the little skirmish that happened. I do believe that line scored on that shift, but i may be wrong (too lazy to go check the box score). The majority of the ice time was the 3rd and 4th lines for RIT. They were passing the puck around at least 7-8 times, more than 10 in most cases before they would shoot the puck. 95% of the shots were taken from the points and above the faceoff dots. They were not crashing the net, or anything that could have been considered as the coach asking for the team to run it it up. My view was that Potsdam just basically threw in the towel in the 3rd, and that they were just kinda going through the motions of being out on the ice.
I have to give applause to two potsdam players for the efforts they put in this weekend, and those are the two goalies that played for the bears. They had over 130 pucks fired at them this weekend, and it could have very easily been more, as they hardly gave up any rebounds.
As far as those of us in the corner, we all knew it was going to be a long day when the score was 6-0 after the 1st period. After about the 9th or 10th goal we pretty much stopped cheering and ringing the bell, with the exception of the 13th goal for the tigers, because as Tweedle Dee mentioned, we got to do Fibonacci. It has kind of been a running joke in the corner, but i dont think any of us ever really thought we would ever get to do it. We stopped cheering all together at pretty much the second intermission. We were just clapping politely for the goals at the end. Most of us at the end were just waiting for it to be over, so we could go do what we needed or wanted to before the mens game later that afternoon
All in all, i would say it would have to rate as one of the least fun and entertaining games I have been to involving RIT (been to almost every mens and womens home game over the past 5 years (came to RIT in Aug. 05) as well as a number of away games) Also I have to say that I feel bad for Potsdam as a program, in that this was a huge setback for a program that seemed to be making some progress in only its second year of DIII competition.

I was wondering if we could get 20, but by the time we get 12 or 13 I started getting really bored. It wasn't fun to watch at all. I could've probably spent my time better taking a nap.

i believe you tried to do that at one point during one of the intermissions, and there is photo evidence to prove it

For what it is worth department:
Potsdam/Plattsburgh game tonight only had 3 penalties - all Potsdam's. Quite a difference from the RIT / Potsdam series! Where there were 34 penalties Friday and 23 on Saturday.
Platty won 9 -3

It always comes down to coaching...couple of good ones behind each bench tonight.

Re: RIT Women's Hockey 2009-2010
Glad to hear Potsdam was able to put together a better game. Sounds like they played more like Friday's game.
Did Platty get to 9 pretty easy or did Potsdam make them work for it?

Agreed.....two solid coaches can control a game.

Re: RIT Women's Hockey 2009-2010
Did Potsdam put a new coach behind the bench? At least they didn't quit playing 5 minutes into the game.
I'm sure the Plattsburgh players enjoyed playing keep-away in the third. Also nice to see Platty top scorer get a goal in the last three minutes of this close game.
I hope my sarcasm is coming through in this. Seriously, get over it people. Why should the good teams not be able to play they're game. Have you ever heard the term "don't play down to your opponent".
Norwich has only been around for a couple years. They figured it out.
