Let's Go 'Tute!
The previous thread closed in the nick of time for the new season. 
I forgot who suggested this title originally.

Fail.
Does anyone have very strong feelings about how long the team will take to hit it's rhythm? I have no evidence and I've not seen the boys skate, but I have a very good feeling that they will be in good form early on...
Typically our team is strong out of the blocks. I think the bigger question would be how long we are able to hold the rhythm throughout the season.
I can see a 5-1 record before Lake Placid OR 3-3, with Bentley & Niagra being the spoilers. I've only been following RPI hockey for 5yrs (6 this yr) & it's easily noticeable how we tend to play down to the competition. Hopefully this yr. will be different. I sense a lot of external incentives for this team; the push for Chase, multiple NHL scouts at games, doing it w/o JD'A & BP. I can also attest to the leadership of JFK & "Brut" they showed while practice was open at the Knick. I was winded just watching! Watching even K-Mac, Murley, Cavosie, Eisenman bent over,hands on knees along with the current team after a grueling drill & the Capt. pushing them to the next drill. I believe anything short of AC will be considered a losing season for this group of players.Does anyone have very strong feelings about how long the team will take to hit it's rhythm?

split & winDoes that mean you're expecting a sweep of Colorado College on the road, or a split at CC and a victory over RIT?

split & win
Unless RIT has lost an awful lot from their Frozen Four team of last year, I have a hard time believing RPI has improved enough to be able to beat them.
Just a reminder.
In honor of Bryan Brutlag, today is 1 October 2010. There are 4 days until RPI's next game.
This is based upon 5 October for the start of next season.
