RPI 2025-2026

Oh thanks. Like, we're chopped liver?

Sorry. Harvard and Dartmouth are both good teams. I made a similar mistake earlier in this thread when I sounded shocked by RPI's loss to Holy Cross....not realizing that HC has a pretty good team this year as well. It just demonstrates that i haven't been following college hockey as closely this year as I have done in the past. Feel free to ignore my posts until I get back into it.

hab, you're no more at fault than we Crimson fans are for thinking that RPI was a pushover.

We are not a scoring powerhouse and we have our deficiencies on defense which allows some rather weak goals. But you are correct, we are not a pushover. Mostly because when we lost 2 very physical players (Trnkova and Skoda) their roles on the ice have been ably replaced by others like Keating, Toye, Bailey and several others. We may lose many more games than we win, but there are a large number of ladies who are nursing some bruises as they skate off the ice after playing against us.

You're forgiven. Heck, the ECAC doesn't look like it has a dominant team this year. Outside of Cornell, perhaps?

Sad, but true. The final 4 this year might be all from WCHA!
. But it will be a very unpredictable and competitive battle for ECAC championship. And I do not see Cornell as being dominant.

Frustrating finish today - worked hard to forge a 3-0 lead on the road against a good Brown squad. held the lead late but allowed one goal before Brown pulled the goalie with 4 minutes left and scored twice to tie in regulation. In OT we just showed a complete lack of understanding the concept of 3 on 3 hockey. Virtually never touched the puck for the first 2 minutes and when we did, coach calls for a line change without total control of the puck and gives up the winning goal as we did not complete the change of personnel on the ice. Settling for an OT loss 4-3 when you have a 3-0 lead late in the third is something that simply should not and can not happen.

Agree with you. Where was Kendall Davidson?

But one thing that continues to stand out for me is the support the players have for each other. The Brown TV announcers were very impressed by it and they noted the coach creates that atmosphere.
