RPI 2019-2020: Life after Lovisa

Re: RPI 2019-2020: Life after Lovisa

What's really baffling is why one of the worst hockey programs in the country, of either gender, gets so much play on here. They have been awful for a long time and now they are the worst D1 team and second worst to D3 Finlandia who didn't register a single win or tie this season.

Lovisa's absence was not the problem. They couldn't score goals. Yes, he's a terrible coach, but he's a terrible coach coaching D3 level players and no coach can turn a teamful of D3 talent into a competitive D1 program. This program needs a new coach who will recruit heavily to replace this current roster as soon as it's possible. Oh wait, it's RPI, generally speaking top-end female hockey players aren't as interested in going to this type of a school, so this program is destined to always be a low-end program. End of story.

Shelfit, I would have thought that you would have figured this out by now. RPI gets so much play on here for one simple reason: we know that it eats at you and we all delight in seeing you lose it. Relax, find a team to follow / cheer for, and find a few positive things to say about that team. Or you could continue to lose it here and continue to provide entertainment for the rest of us.

In all seriousness, I would like to commend the RPI fans in this thread for their continued support of their team in what has gone beyond "lean" times. If you follow the decline in fans in the threads of some teams that were once successful, I would have to say that the Engineers fans have set a new standard for loyalty. I think that we can all acknowledge that when a team endures a winless season, there were likely many deficiencies: coaching, administration, resources, talent, and what have you. For your sake, I hope that things turn around sooner, rather than later. :)

So well said; I couldn't agree more.

Lmao, good one! Incorrect, as usual, but still very funny, so I have to give you this one. Besides, if we can't laugh at ourselves then that's a very unfortunate thing in life, especially in crazy times like we're all facing right now. I hope you "hab" a great day! Stay healthy my friends!!

You too, Shelfit. Hope we have some actual hockey to talk about next fall.

I guess this is Asiah Taylor-Walters although I can't figure out N/A. That would complete the known recruits for 2020.

Thanks for posting this Ralph. The presentation by Tara Connolly is excellent. She is clearly very knowledgeable about shooting skills, a real student of the game, and a very good communicator. I hope that RPI can retain her talent and maybe be thinking about preparing her for the head coaching job in the future. But it does raise an interesting question. How did this team score an average of only 0.62 goals per game this year:eek:.

I didn't watch but chuckled because they got a coach from a team which couldn't score to give this presentation. Then I remembered that she was a goalie and didn't score goals herself, so I chuckled again, although goalies probably know when shooters do things wrong. I would think that USA Hockey would have no trouble getting people to give these presentations, so it is a feather in Connolly's cap.

Nice of them to only write "Magdelana E". Northwood roster https://www.northwoodschool.org/athletics/girls-hockey/roster. Clearly it is Magdalena Erbenova, a Czech. More to follow.

When I next post the recruit list, her line will look like

19 Magdalena Erbenova D 04/13/20 Northwood School 2020 02/09/00 5'05" 117 Benatky nad Jizerou, Czech Republic X.XX

Neutral Zone has apparently never evaluated her.
