RPI Hockey 2012-2013 Part 1: Pocket Protectors and Hockey Sticks

Re: RPI Hockey 2012-2013 Part 1: Pocket Protectors and Hockey Sticks

Worst performance of the night was by far and away turned in by the girls soccer team in the concession stand. They served me some curly fries which i'm pretty sure were sitting on a counter in the snack bar since the last home game, and cold cheese sauce. Definitely worth the 20 minute wait in line.

At least they scored some goals. They're going to get lit up like and old christmas tree next weekend.

It has been a while since Jenny and I dined at the HFH but it sounds like the food has not changed much. In fact it sounds like they are still serving the same stuff prepared when we were there last.:( We learned to bring our own refreshments (Bella Napoli was always our last stop before coming to the games) and of course some potent potable as a thirst quencher.

I am not so sure we will get lit up so badly next weekend. It will be a huge stepup in competition for sure-but i still suspect our problem will be our offense keeping enough pressure on and whether we have the ability to keep the puck in the offensive zone and put someone in front of the net. I saw some chemistry out there last night and more cohesiveness that i had thought we could have in the first game albeit against very different competition that what we will face from now on. I still think (as i have for years) if we can have success with special teams, we will be able to compete well with most any team we face. Yesterday just did not give me the opportunity to judge if our special teams were much different than in the past years but there was a t least a hint that they were. What i did like is that even though this was an exhibition and game 1 for these boys together-they stood up and did not back down to anything physical. As usual just my 2¢

Commers has some speed on him. Kasdorf is huge, Zalewski is massive compared to some of our other forwards and yes Dr. D he did park himself in front of the net a few times. Haggerty played with a edge all night and didnt back down from any of the Acadia players and was rewarded with a diving penalty from our great ECAC refs.:rolleyes: I guess being cross-checked in the back shouldnt hurt and make you fall down. Whatever, I know my good friend AspyDad was all over those refs, good job buddy way to keep them honest. Overall, it was a good test for the team but as always lots of room to improve upon. Just great to be back in the Field House and catch up with the crew in Section 9. Looking forward to seeing Ferris State next weekend and see what they bring back from a talented team last season.

Buebla, Zalewsi are the real deals. Buebla is going to be good, long arms, great hands. During play, my nephew heard one of the guys call Zalewski Diesel. Great nickname, fits him to a tee. I like Kasdorf, he is a big guy and plays the angles well (can with his size). Mark Miller is an energy guy who will get alot of time because he'll play hard in practice. Hampton will be future QB of PP. JL and Neal look more comfortable out there. I love the Haggs, JL and Neal line. I'm expecting Diebold between the pipes for Ferris St.

Zalewski was called Diesel in juniors also. I was also impressed with the improvement of Neal and JL from last year. Neal's injury might have lingered longer than we knew about. The line of Haggerty et al. might have looked even better if Haggerty didn't spend a lot of time in the penalty box.

I doubt that we will see the same goalie in the nets for both games next weekend. Although both Diebold and Kasdorf seemed to play somewhat better than Merriam, I expect Merriam in the net on Friday.

Attendance was 2902 and I believe I heard mackek2 say in the stream last night that there were about 100 people watching. Granted this was for fall homecoming weekend and an exhibition game.

Only 100? If that's the case, I wonder how many watched the football game.

You can expect the number of people watching the stream to increase exponentially once we hit the regular season. RPI TV is doing a great job and oppoosing team fans wil catch on quickly. Home attendance is another story-only a few teams coming into Troy bring very many fans. But if this team can string together a bunch of victories-perhaps the local support will flourish.

A similar number RB-I think they had reported about 100 viewers earlier in the day. That is a number that i dont think will change much unless fans of the other teams tune in.

Is that Matt Neal fielding those questions after the game?

Yes...we decided it was because he had a goal and didn't hide fast enough when the media came.

Yeah, it was Haggerty, but it was a bad call. It was fun about five minutes into the game to watch Hicks blatantly ignore a hook on McGowan right in front of where I was sitting. If I saw it happen, it should have been a penalty-I'm still not great at picking up on those.
