RPI 2010-2011 VI- Red Dead Redemption

3 weeks without playing. For some teams that would not be good but for RPI it may be what they needed. Feb & Mar they were not playing with that looseness they had in the early and mid part of the season. No one expected much from them after they lost Kitchner Rangers Star Jerry and that other guy Pirri.
Right now no one expects anything from them except me. Barry (trying to copy Don Cherry) Melrose didn't even mention them the selection show. He looked past them and said what a great game it will be with the Fighting Souix and Denver in the final. I like Engineers V Pioneers/ more drama.
A powerplay that is capable (they were very good for a while this season) and one of the best goalies in the country. Score a couple man up goals, Chase is one of the best in the country at finding that little seam on the man up. A hot York and good d zone coverage could be just what the good Dr. D ordered.
I would rather put 50 bucks on them in Vegas than buy a 10 dollar lottery ticket.

Thanks for the mention-I would be happy with exactly that and a bit of some scoring from our boys. This is a big challenge-but then again so was Yale twice, Union three times and BU.

Got my flight to Green Bay, should be fun. You'll be hearing from me in Green Bay.

Any chance WRPI can make the audio from the regional game(s) available for download after the fact? It will be nice watching the TV version but I would definitely like to be able to go back and listen with the RPI announcers for posterity's sake.

This would be great! And even if they are unable to do this, I just spoke to the Field House this afternoon and they said that the Recovery Room sports bar in Troy is trying to pick up the feed to be broadcasted there. Announcement should be later this week.

BTW, my first ever post. But not the last!!!

Let's hope so. ESPNU will have the Sunday game and ESPN2 and ESPN will have the Frozen Four. I already have my tickets for St. Paul.

This is exactly right. UND came out against CC last Friday and made it very clear which was the better team, in terms of physicality, possession and chances. Still, late in the first it was still only 1-0, until CC went on the PP and promptly tied it. RPI will just need to keep it close, then capitalize on the PP.

Also, there's a decent chance RPI will not need to just "hang in there," based on their rest. Yale was definitely not hanging on in last year's regional, and a lot of that was due to them having the previous weekend off while UND had played six games in nine days heading into the tournament. I saw some of the same heavy legs in Sioux jerseys last Saturday in the overtimes against Denver.
 
Re: RPI 2010-2011 VI- Red Dead Redemption

From the little I have seen of NDak this year-they do come out exceptionally hard and try to intimidate a team early. I am very sure SA will have the boys ready for that and hopefully we can respond in kind without taking many penalties. Let's Go Red!
 
Re: RPI 2010-2011 VI- Red Dead Redemption

picked up the March issue at the "Knick" tonight (stick & puck) and saw there's an article about, "Polacek and RPI chase NCAA berth"....the current issue has Ryan Callahan on the cover...doesn't seem to be up on-line yet...I'll post it when it does http://www.nyhockeyjournal.com/
 
Re: RPI 2010-2011 VI- Red Dead Redemption

I need help figuring out a way to watch Saturday's game here in Raleigh, North Carolina. I checked espn3.com - their channelfinder applet indicates that my ISP, Time Warner Cable, is not an espn3.com affiliate, and therefore I cannot access espn3.com content! Do any of you suspect that I'll be able to catch this game on any other syndication channel? I have a friend here who has DirecTV. I thought my chances would be good there.

UND will NOT be looking past anyone in this tourney. Yes, UND is big and fast. We have tons of scoring power. All your talk about having a hot golie who can steal a game is funny. Your defense will not win this game for you. I would like to Introduce you RPI fans to a Mr. Aaron Dell. Statistically speaking he is the second ranked goaltender in the
Country as well as the WCHA Goaltending Champion. If your team wants to make it past
Saturdays game I would suggest bringing the biggest caliber firepower you have.

Oh Yeah SIOUXperfan!, Dell is second in the nation to an ECAC goalie who RPI took out last time they met. Mr Ryan Rondeau, so there!;)

I admit it, I laughed. This is a new experience for us, the late March drive-by first post trash talker.
