RPI 2011-12 Part VI: Sweet Meteor of Death

Yes-in the post-game interview with Karpowich, he said that he had injured his knee earlier in the week and it hurt so bad they had to numb it so he could even play. I have even more respect for him after hearing that-he made incredible save after incredible save, and really carried the game much of the time this weekend. There's no way we have three overtimes without him-and the score on Friday and Sunday could have been a bit more lopsided in our favor if it wasn't for him in net. Of course, the same can pretty much be said about Bryce-although I feel our D (and forwards) blocked a lot of shots before they even got to him. Boxscore says Clarkson only had 5 SOG in the third on Sunday, and that was with two decent-length 5x3s.

Credit due to the RPI penalty killers on those 5 on 3's. In the past those were situations where we could just about be assured of a goal being scored against us. The 3 on the ice just pressured the heck out of CCT and did not give them room to breathe or set up. Didn't Clarkson pull the goalie to make part of that second penalty a 6 on 3 for a while? Really good thing we were up 3-1 instead of only 2-1 at that stage.

Apologies if this has already been posted (don't feel like searching through 30 thread pages), but this object d'art cannot be lost. This is a link to the Clarkson "cheer sheet" (including words to their own Alma Mater) suggesting things that they shout or jeer. Some of them are truly shining examples of Clarkson's creativity based in the 1950s:

"You were prom queen"
"Domestic engineers"
"Troylet"
"Puckman's not real"
They also suggest to ask Merriam's mom out for a seafood dinner or something... stealing classic lines from Anchorman and using them way out of context is the pinnacle of comedic creativity.

Since Jan. 1, RPI has outscored its opponents 17-1. That's a far cry from being outscored 23-5 in the third prior to Jan. 1.

"I just think we've become a lot better team since Jan. 1 and (improvement within) the third period is a part of that."

What the hell is he talking about with RPI outscoring opponents 17-1 in 3rd periods since Jan 1?

Seriously, 3 goals alone in the Freakout.

It should be 17-13.

I had wondered about that, but I was too lazy to check. :)

What or where is Underwood?
Click to expand...

Underwood is the hamlet near Exit 30 on the Northway. That's where NY 73 starts, at a place colloquially referred to as "Malfunction Junction" (3-way intersection with at-speed ramps and some yield signs). NY 73 goes towards Keene Valley and subsequently on to Lake Placid, while US 9 heads towards Elizabethtown and continues towards Plattsburgh. South of Malfunction Junction, US 9 continues south through Schroon Lake and towards Lake George.

I assume that Underwood is about halfway between the Northway and that intersection where there is an Underwood Road. I must have been there on a bus with my brother in the summer of 1963 heading to Lake Placid.

It is north of the Northway exit and south of Malfunction Junction, yes. There isn't much of the hamlet left (as it's pretty much ghosted) and is within the town of North Hudson. You have it pretty much correct.

Interestingly, it is labeled in my Rand McNally Road Atlas.
