I took a quick look at hr.rpi.edu and didn't even see a job posting.
#12 is -5 the last 2 games and #9 is -3, so it is broke. #12 is slow and was beat on multiple occasions. #9 is too small and was manhandled by the ND forwards. #9 has great speed and would be better suited to play forward along with #25. RPI could use the speed up front, their wingers are big but lack speed. The goalie saved the D's butts numerous times with point blank saves, she stopped numerous breakaways and stopped a 2 on 0! When was the last time you saw a 2 on 0 in a college hockey game? Position wise the D were terrible and on one of the goals an ND forward had the puck behind the RPI net and both D stood and watched her while an ND forward snuck into the slot and buried the pass from the kid that was behind the net. You need to take the blinders off. ND could have put up double digit goals in both games if it weren't for the goalie."The coaches better teach them their jobs or make adjustments to the pairings."
Glad to see they took my advice.A much better showing overall by the D this weekend. No need for further adjustments for next weekend. You know what they say - if it ain't broke don't fix it.
Now let's turn our attention to the power play and penalty kill. Games are won and lost with special teams. It isn't a good sign that they seem to be picking up where they left off from last year when they were 30th out of 34 teams on the power play (9.7%) and dead last on the penalty kill (72.3%). Special teams has to be the top priority in practice this week and really until they get to about 15% on the power play and 85% on the penalty kill.
! Why "sit back and wait to see if anything happens" when you can continue with your baseless speculation? What Flag Dude does for the RPI men's thread you do for this one

Meanwhile, on the ice, RPI is totalling dominating RIT after one period. Who are these women and will they show up for the second and third periods? Score is 4-1 and shots are 17-6 but it could have been even more lopsided as RPI controlled the play throughout and RIT made the most of their only scoring opportunity. Team effort but also some great individual plays: Tremblay's goal was a good shot after a great feed up the middle from Renn created a 2 on 1; Godin went deep stole the puck behind the RIT net and fed Mankey in the slot who snapped it in for the third goal. PP moved the puck very well, were patient, and had some great opportunities.
