I still won't bet on Princeton.![]()
Over the many years we have followed RPI hockey, we have seen some of the weirdest games and events at Baker Rink. You just can never tell. I have seen RPI come in as an overwhelming favorite, with a power house team that has beaten some of the best in the country have all sorts of problems dealing with a rather low rated Princeton team. This is almost always a road game that you can through out all the previous statistics. The building itself is almost always a frigid place to even watch a game much less play. The ice can vary from just OK, to rather poor, to simply horrible. it is however, a great place as a fan to watch a game. You are almost seated right on the ice. Unless you are up in the one balcony, you are right on top of the action. And although they usually do not draw a full hose of their own fans, they can be a truly boisterous crowd and the decibel level can be quite high. if i had to guess, this one looks like an even game that will be determined by one or two breaks or errors (or calls made by an official).
