Kudos to Brian Brutlag for signing a T.O. contract with the Norfolk Admirals...he's played well in the E, glad to see he gets to see a bit of life in the AHL!

We wondered about that while we were in the north this weekend. A loss for the league - class act and helluva coach. Always had his kids ready to play.

And could make whatever adaptations were needed during a game. His teams always seemed to get better as the game wore on. He was a good one and a class act.

Well, Game 1 is now over. A fine effort by the boys, but couldn't take advantage of 3 early PP's and ended up with a 1-goal loss. If it means anything, at least they're getting closer to beating Union. Comments?

Awful game. I would think, at this level, it's a reasonable expectation to see a 60-minute game played. We slack off in the first, slack off for the first part of the second, and look what happens.

Guess it's hard to add anything else after that. Let's just hope that they put together a 60 minute (or more) effort tomorrow night.

I don't think I watched the same game you did.

Considering TW in Syracuse didn't run the game, your sentence is factual. However, I will say that RPI put up a decent 30 minute effort tonight. Too bad the game isn't 30 minutes long.

I am dissapointed by the loss obviously, but from the mid stages of the second and a good portion of the 3rd I thought we held even with them, maybe even carried the play at some points. I thought we took the body well all night. We had chances to score. Cullen breakaway and a few others I can't recall. :rolleyes: Some solid forechecking which created some chances. A few times , our forwards were comming out from behind the net unmolested and were looking for someone to get the puck to. Hopefully they can get open tomorrow. This team has come a long way since January, credit to the players and Coach Appert.

The Onion goalie made some good saves but on a few we made the saves easy. No traffic infront. . Bailen had a chance late with the goalie pulled at the point but he had trouble handling the pass on that sequence and a U player was right on him. If we come in there tomorrow and play the same way we did minus some penalties , Hey, who knows?:D Whatever does happen, in my mind this group of guys has gone down in my mind as a resilliant bunch that just doesnt quit. Lets Go Red.
 
Re: RPI 2011-12 Part VI: Sweet Meteor of Death

We took a lot of low percentage shots, and missed some chances to lift pucks. Bailen needs to unleash a one timer on the open look he had in the 3rd. THAT NEEDS TO AUTOMATIC. Credit Union for clogging things up in the red zone. I thought that Union's second goal came off of our D allowing U to carry the puck into the zone unmolested...which happened too often tonight. When the head man attempts to gain the zone, we need to put a body on him and make him rethink his decision...if you get my drift.

I'll leave the officiating alone, other than to say at least twice tonite, Union was allowed to change personnel during whistles where they last touched pucks that left the rink.. Appert was all over them the 2nd time...to no avail. With 4 zebras on the ice, you'd think they could at least get the simple things right.... But then again, maybe they're trying to make sure the Cleary Cup winner makes it to AC for a change.

Was there...we played them heads up game could have went either way....especially since 3rd goal in my mind was questionable and btw bryces too for several reasons.

If that was awful, how would you describe the previous three games vs. Union. It certainly wasn't great, but it was much improved.

There was no slack in RPI tonight. Union came out fired up in the first period and just played amazing hockey. It looked to me like RPI was getting outplayed, and it wasn't for lack of effort. I was afraid it was going to wind up like UND after the 3rd Union goal.

I give them a lot of credit for forcing Union down and playing even or better for the last 30 minutes. It could easily have been 3-3 and into OT.
 
Re: RPI 2011-12 Part VI: Sweet Meteor of Death

Par the course, we took the usual screw job from the ECAC refs. Where to begin, how do you call that holding with six minutes to go in a close game like that..nickel and dime at best. This is where the ego of Mr. Stewart permeates down to his crews. Let them play, stop the ticky tack calls especially at these junctures of the games. From my vantage point and a few others that was goaltending interference on the third goal. And can anyone explain why they had to review Alex's goal which was clearly a goal.
