I have followed RPI hockey for over 50 years. I never felt that statistics alone tell the story about a goaltender. We have fellows win many more games,have fewer losses, etc. But you always have to take into account the team playing in front of him and especially the defensemen. i will stick to and defend my previous statement made weeks ago. He is the total package and the best goaltender I have seen at RPI. He exerts a control over the game and often slows the tempo at crucial times for us. He knows when to try to freeze the puck and buy us time. is he the best puckhandler? is he the best at roaming behind the net to stop pucks from swinging around? Do all the rebounds he gives up head in the right direction? No to all three. But of everyone I have seen here, if I was to pick the guy that i want in goal for me against anyone, on any given night, for the most important game, I pick Jason. What you just posted as his save percentage just adds to my feelings.

With the scoring that RPI has (very little over the past few years) Kasdorf has to limit opposing teams to 2 goals or less for RPI to win. This is not an easy task considering he has seen 40 or more shots to many times this year. Any time he stops 40 plus shots and RPI gets a point out of it is a steal for Jason. A few that come to mind are BC game, Harvard shut out, Quinnipiac, and the Cornell game where RPI was out shot 44 to 15. Thank you very much Jason.

Thanks. It was probably in 1982-83, because the HFH was renovated after that season. The first home game at the newly renovated arena was against Mount Allison, so they wouldn't have played 3 Canadian teams that year.

Thinking about this more, you're right because I'm pretty sure Addesa wanted to play Servinis and Oates in these games before their mandated "suspension" coming in from Tier 2 junior. These games were a good opportunity to do so.

This is right around the time my father started taking me to games, Mount Allison rings a bell. But one of the first Canadian colleges I remember seeing was Dalhousie. I recall a Dalhousie player being severely injured right in front of the old section 1 , so severely that a stretcher was brought out. I think Jerry Fink was the goalie pre puppa?

Would Omaha losing help our PWR?

It would, but concentrate on the three teams that are directly above RPI. RPI needs to take care of Yale tomorrow, and if Miami beats Denver again tomorrow, RPI will jump over those two teams. Then they can turn their sights on flipping the comparison with UML (which is tough due to RPI's loss to them earlier this season, ) and Omaha.

UNO did lose. Yale jumped over them. We are just 12pts. behind UNO. Friday night’s “cheering section” worked out favorably. Now, just keep winning baby.

... an exhibition game against the Russians in the 1980's...

I saw that exhibition with the Russians at HFH. I believe we lost by 2 or 3 goals but played quite well. This is a stretch... I seem to think this was during the 82/83 season (last year of Fink & Fradet?)... for folks looking for a date, the game was played the night ABC showed 'The Day After' (I think that was the title... made for tv drama about nuclear war... set in [what was left of] Kansas).

Oates missed some games because he played some Tier-I. I don't recall Servinis having to miss any.

That game with UNO was televised here (we get a ton of western and midwestern games but almost no ECAC. The first 5 minutes it looked like UNO would run them out of the building. We watched for a while and it did not seem to get any better as CC was falling all over themselves. Shut it off and what do you know? You just cannot tell early in games sometimes. After all, some team was down 3-0 last night and came back to win 4-3 (and could have been 5-3).

Jen and i were there. I cannot remember all the details but Jen's memory for everything is typical woman (she remembers everything and haunts me with things I said 40 years ago). She recalls how dirty the Russians played. It was like their primary purpose was intent to injure. Sticks were high and boarding was just constant.

The purpose is to understand what you are doing, rather than to get the right answer. ;)
