Thanks B12. You are a fine American. I never realized that was on RPI website. God bless.

Re: RPI 2010-11: Houston, We've had a Facelift!
The first goal was batted in by Rabbani and the RPI radio account indicated that it was indeed high sticking, and the second goal was a scrum in front with the play whistled dead before the puck went in (at least that was the call, as H has no video replay).
As for the two penalties in third - one against H and the back breaker against RPI (Polacek) with less than a minute to play - both appeared to be phantom calls according to eyewitness accounts.
The WRPI broadcast had only one man in the booth, so they were unable to shed any light on the Polacek call which was well behind the play.
Hey, WS, isn't that misplaced vengeance?. I couldn't get any accounts of the called off goals. Were they legit calls?

The WRPi broadcast indicate that it was JFK who whiffed on the clear which led to the goal. I'm not gonna hang him out ... I flat out love the guy... he must've blocked 5 shots last night. FWIW, the D also failed twice to clear the puck vs. U in LP...which led to the tying goal.
Re: RPI 2010-11: Houston, We've had a Facelift!
Another proud moment for Mr's Hagwell and Stewart.The do nothing group ! OHHHHH I forgot Mr.Hagwell did move the league tournament to the Hockey crazy town of Atlantic City (maybe He's like the US Congress,we're better off when He doesn't do anything) I guess to make it more convient for everyone...he said it was a better deal...FOR WHO ?...Is it just me or should he start explaining his decesions,non decesions and inactions to the ticket buying public or do we need a ECACHL Tea Party...Just a thought.

I hope that Penn starts a team and we move to Atlantic Hockey.

You could always go the we-never-should-have-fired-Adessa route and demand that we move to Hockey Rast.

Re: RPI 2010-11: Houston, We've had a Facelift!
Why would you hope that would happen?
AFAIK Penn has no intentions of restarting its hockey program, and if it were to do that, it's more likely that either the ECAC would expand to 14 teams or the Ivies would start a separate league and the remainder if the ECAc would add a couple of teams now in the AHA, probably Niagara and RIT, with Mercyhurst and Canisius also possible.

That's more likely than the AHA, but I think that neither is likely. Our principal rivals are ECAC schools. We have little in common with the state and church-sponsored HEA schools which doesn't leave that much else there, just BU and NU.

Re: RPI 2010-11: Houston, We've had a Facelift!
I hope we stay where we are-I am too old to adapt to a whole new league. Not sure if I would even know which teams to hate more than the others.

I agree with you 100%. I would much rather look forward to playing our current ECAC rivals (whether ivy or non-ivy) than to move to another league. Granted I am utopian in thought, which means the best option for RPI may be against my thoughts.

Re: RPI 2010-11: Houston, We've had a Facelift!
I wonder what SA's opinion of this is. He has expounded upon Union as our main rival. Would we have a rival like either Union or Clarkson in the HEA? I have a hard time finding one. UVM was once our travel partner, but what else do we have in common with them? We have a history of playing BU, but it has never really been much of a rivalry. Past that I can only think of a one-game rivalry with PC.
When the HEA teams left the ECAC, we were at the top of the league, and I had mixed feelings about whether we should leave. On one hand CCT and SLU were our principal rivals, and on the other hand, I thought (correctly) that in the long run the HEA would be the better league. When it came up again under Powers, I was more to staying in the ECAC. Although I can see advantages to moving to HEA, I am now for the status quo. Maybe it is indeed old age.
The best option for "RPI the hockey team" can be different than the best option for "RPI the university". That has always been the case, and it seems to be the crux of the matter.

Re: RPI 2010-11: Houston, We've had a Facelift!
DrD, Clarkson and other non-ivies would join us in AH. we could play same team back to back nights which would create great hockey. Just saying.
BTW FD08 - We would have seen some great hockey if we went to HE. I for one would have loved it. Maine, BC, BU, etc. Yea, that would have been great.

Re: RPI 2010-11: Houston, We've had a Facelift!
I've never liked the system where the same team is played on two consecutive nights, as in my mind it would give reason to only attend one of the games, not to mention you'd only get to see your potential rival every other year rather than every year. I realize in most leagues that this is the case because of travel difficulties. That just my humble opinion, though.

Re: RPI 2010-11: Houston, We've had a Facelift!
Im happy being in the ECAC but wouldnt be upset at all if HE comes a calling. A couple years ago I recall reading an article where HE expressed some interest in bringing the league up to 12 teams from the 10 they have now and I always thought us and Q would be nice additions. However, I really cant see RPI switching hockey conferences unless the school decides to bring its entire athletic department up to the D1 level.

PUCKMAN RULES!!!
Re: RPI 2010-11: Houston, We've had a Facelift!
I was at the game, and the Harvard call had to be made. The player had his stick in the mid section of the Engineer and pulled him down. There was nothing phantom about it. As for the Call against RPI, what I saw was a number of players skating through the Harvard crease as the play went the other way. There could have been goaltender interference, but it would have been a questionable call. I believe the ref made it to make up for the Harvard call.
As for the game, we played very well. Sometimes the best team loses. On to next week.
