RPI 2009 - 2010 Part II: I Believe in Seth Appert

Re: RPI 2009 - 2010 Part II: I Believe in Seth Appert

Only two games into the ECAC season but which team has given up the least goals? Even Cornell has given up 4. I thought Yales d was weaker than I thought it would be this year but RPI O had something to do with it. I also thought Harvard d would be weaker and they have been giving up 14 goals in 3 games . Except fot Biega their returning defensemen were not the usual quality. H*** never impressed me & Grimshaw is still quite young. Helfrich comes back this weekend? Nice to see Smith skate over to Yales #22 after the game and express his dissatisfaction with his play. Probably a warning for next time.

Yes I think as the season goes on, holding Yale to two goals will be hard to duplicate. Broc Little will be all EcAc Arcobello & ONeil will get their share. It is what we thought the last couple of years there was so much pressure on the RPI defense because the offense was inept. Not any more. The improvement in skill level passing collecting passes & play making is obvious. Pirri has a shot D'Amigo plays big both ways and they do make everyone look better. Polacek is on fire.

Just took a look at the ECAC players of the week. Considering we beat the conference favorite and had the leading scorer while our goalie allowed the fewest goals in the league I thought we might grab one of the awards. Not the case though. I guess we will just have to sweep the NC trip this weekend in order to convince folks of our worthiness.

It never hurts to fly under the radar, although we won't be able to do it for long.

The longer the better, although Polacek has been boned out of POTW two weeks running now. It was more egregious this week.

Fine by me as well RB. So long as the W's keep coming and our ECAC opponents continue to display that "deer in the headlights" look after the final horn blows...:D

Certainly was an interesting choice to leave RPI out of both Player and Goalie of the week; especially when colgate got two awards.

That's ok, they're saving the Hobey Baker award for him :-)

...hey, if USCHO can start putting up the PWR and Bracketology this early, then we can start talking about the Hobey Baker too!
 
Re: RPI 2009 - 2010 Part II: I Believe in Seth Appert

They are talking about Hobey Baker as well. Although Polacek isn't mentioned there either :(.

Only Brandon Wong of the Bobcats is mentioned. Though to be fair, the latest post was from November 4th. Still, I don't think RPI can be miffed for far too long :). Something's gotta give.

Helfrich: doubtful
Rabbani: probable
Lee: questionable (didn't realize that he was injured)

Beginning to think that Helfrich's injury is a bit more serious than was first believed. Ankles are tricky but minor ankle injuries usually respond fairly rapidly. Hope this is not one of those season long nagging things. The news on Lee is a surprise to me also.

Well he did finally practice on it, so there is some upside there.

When it comes to ankles I am old school-I believe in ice early, then heat and then rest and then more rest. I do not have much faith in any sort of ankle physical therapy. Perhaps practicing on it caused some sort of set back? Basically though I think SA is just be a very cautious coach and trying to do what is best for optimum healing. I can recall some episodes in the past (several years ago) when injured RPI players were rushed back onto the ice perhaps too quickly only to suffer more permanent injury. :(

The team is playing very well right now and I don't think that Appert feels the need to put extra pressure on his ankle right now.
If they lose two this weekend, he will be in the lineup for the next ECAC game. JMO
