Down 2-0 after 1. Jakob lee with a 5 major same old crap.

I know you and I are ready to move from the present regime but I hope folks can see that this an absolute dumpster fire. Dartmouth hung a 5 on us. So here's the deal, we don't have the players to play the offensive style Dave plays. He literally doesn't make in game adjustments but also adjustments week to week.

Everybody on this board was warned when this group came to town but you all drank the cool-aid. I hope everyone starts listening to AspyDad now !!!
 
Work got in the way of watching this game and woof, that box score showed that I didn't miss much. As much as I defend Watson, 4 goals on 31 shots isn't great but I am sure he wasn't bailed out at all by the D. Only being down 2-1 going into the third, I wish the team showed more grit like the Freakout but that consistency isn't in the cards for this season I guess.
 
Tonight was really tough to watch. Total opposite of the Freakout. One team came out hungry the other not so much. This late in the season that's not a good sign.

​​​​​Down 1-0 :15 seconds in tells me they weren't ready to play. Nobody went to the point after losing the faceoff. I Could go on and on with things I saw that just had me looking to the ceiling.

Question is , do the powers that be believe that the current coach and his staff can turn this program around? We are losing 12 players (seniors and graduate players) not counting if any current players decide to enter the portal.

It’s a complete joke this regime. I’m done with them
I can’t even watch this crap anymore. It’s literally dysfunction on ice.

I don’t see how anyone believes this current coach and staff can turn this around. This program is a complete failure. I’ve never seen a worse RPI team in my life. They’re a few good players in the pipeline but nothing even close to start turning the program around. As crazy as this sounds I think next year might be worse than this year which is truly insane. The powers that be need to clean house. The HFH is a depressing place. The fan base is just over the losing. Either get fucking serious with putting a winning program together or close up shop. Shit or get off the pot. I most likely will not renew my season tickets if this horrible coaching staff returns. It’s a complete and utter disaster

Rearranging the chairs on the titanic. Maybe see if we can get a nice vase for flowers on the titanic while we’re at it.

The good news is that you get to play the Crimson tonight. We are having one of the worst seasons in program history and last night got smoked by Union.
 
I personally believe that the problem is made worse by posts here. It has been stated before that the players are not allowed to read this, but that doesn't mean that they don't learn what is written.

You know that I don't think that everything is good, and I do think that we are going downhill, and we were already going downhill before Smith showed up. (I don't mean downhill to the Hudson riverfront. ;-) ) It is correctible. Whether it is correctible with the current staff, I don't know. At the moment I do have faith that Pres. Schmidt can solve the problem. Getting rid of Shirley was step one by RPI, but there is a lot of momentum in the hockey program, so it is still going downhill, and it isn't and shouldn't be Pres. Schmidt's top concern. When Smith came there was some improvement for a short time, but then we started going downhill again.

They should have a decent chance to move on. A lot will depend on goal tending but also how the officiating influences the game. Hopefully this game will be decided by the players on the ice and not the skaters wearing the stripes.

This thread has zero impact on anything. Young 20 yr old players could care less about what is written here.
