RPI 2017-18 Preseason Thread: To Dream the Impossible Dream

Re: RPI 2017-18 Preseason Thread: To Dream the Impossible Dream

I was trying to figure out why the NY hockey journal had a two page ad for Providence College season and individual game tickets.

Probably targeted toward alumni who live in NY, no?

One would think that any alum willing to drive from NY to RI for a college hockey game would probably already know how to get tickets. Not a big deal, just an oddity. Then again, one would have to wonder why, with all the players coming out of NY these days, they'd do a season opening feature on Charlie Manley, a 3rd or 4th pair defenseman on a team that finished in the bottom tier of the league last year. Hopefully they can see a breakout for Charlie and the team this season that might not be obvious to those of us beaten down by the last decade.

I had the same thought that was weird that they would feature CM when there are a lot of NY hockey players who have produced a lot more. Then again, I am always happy when RPI players are featured.

As to the Providence ad, my actual first thought was that since the same company also produces a New England Hockey Journal perhaps there is a large discount for advertising in both.

I thought it might have been because of the coach; after all, he was formerly at #26... ;)

Today is 5 October 2017. There are 8 days until RPI's next game.

She's pretty cute (assuming it's a she; it is black and white). Although, now I have this stuck in my head: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p5BSvwOYwxg

Glad to see the rink staff contributing to the enterprise. Can you say too much time on their hands ? This might help explain why the scoreboard had 35-27 shot totals in the first period of the exhibition game ... just one of many examples of the fails normally demonstrated on game nights.

OK-I am totally melted. We had two exactly like that. Bandit and her brother Runt. Gone now for several years but always remembered. We cannot lose now, we have 9 lives!!

How about the name Slash for this cutie?

Not like they had no time to correct the SOG. It read that way the weekend before for both the women game & the ACHA game.

Exactly my point. Amateur hour. Just a guess, but I'd bet a buck it was the SOG from the last home game last year. I'm not gonna look it up. It'll only add to the failure😜

I thought the same thing so I looked, it wasn’t. Last mens game was vs Q, SOG were 37-24 Q.
