Just curious since you capitalized Engineer, are you implying that it was an RPI grad?

There was a meet-n-greet following yesterday's game. I asked Jacob how the shoulder was, he responded "I'll be fine". Did appear to be in a sling though.

Hey jericho, was that a student you trained on colour last night? Pretty decent, hope he does more games.

not at all just kidding around I work with engineers quite often and find them to be for the most part very bright but I must say my favorite thing is after you pay them a boat load of money they always say"that SHOULD work"

We're not going to make a guarantee and then have you sue us. ;)

Im obviously missing something here Denver comes to town a perenial power house out of the midwest I believe they have 7 or 8 NHL draft picks on the team and one of the best if not THE best goalie in the country and we played them for all intense purposes to a standstill. If you listen to some of the bed wetters here you would think we played 2 overtime games against the Denver Youth Hockey Association. As far as what games count and which ones don't news flash they all count and the more ways some people try to crunch numbers to prove some sort of point the more suspect they are as they say Figures don't lie but liars figure maybe liars is to strong a word lets call them hater's. And I also know why SA didn't leave he told me it was because he would miss FlagDUDE08... Honest to God crazy but true..we had dinner at Jacks Hamburgers @ the picnic table by the mens room. Anyone whom eats at jack's know tactically that is a much desired table. Oh and one last word for our number crunchers we should remember it was an Engineer whom placed and designed Fukashima, Any Questions ?

Considering both games went to overtime, I'd say RPI is evenly matched with Denver this year. And sure, the games count, but unless we want to depend upon getting lucky for the national tournament, it's not going to matter much. The league games are the sure fire way to get to the tournament because of the auto-bid, and from what I can see, we are .500 there with the inability to beat two of the teams we would likely need to play to get to that tournament, given we are 0-2-0 and 0-1-1 against those teams with no possibility to garner league wins before the playoffs begin, although one of the teams we will be playing again in non-league action. Past performance does not guarantee future results (as evidenced by the 2005 and 2013 playoffs), but one can make predictions from a statistical perspective.

He is a member and officer of the RPI club team. Also, that wasn't Jericho doing PBP yesterday. :p

if those are the only two teams whom we have an inability to beat, we are in good shape since we would only be playing teams we can beat the rest of the year.

Just because jericho didn't do PBP doesn't mean he isn't involved in the training process for RPI students interested in making calls of athletic events. I recall certain occasions where he has mentioned that he has trained certain students.

There are a couple of teams where we are in danger of having an inability to beat, considering the games have resulted in a tie. As said before, though, past performance does not guarantee future results. In 2009, we did beat Cornell in one playoff game (although lost the series) despite having gone 0-2-0 in the regular season.
