Re: RPI Hockey 2017 - 2018: A Wealth of Notions

Looking at the boxscore I see Praps was the only player (RPI) to have a minus (-1) was he injured during the game or was his ice time cut or merely coincidence?

Couldn't really tell given FlagDUDETTE and I were behind the net where we shot twice and we don't put numbers on the front, but it wouldn't surprise me if he ended up in the doghouse, given how his weekend's been.

With only Quinnipiac and Clarkson ranked higher than us in our own conference, we are off to a nice start. i can imagine how much better our numbers would look and our rankings if we held off Niagara on Friday night for another 1/2 second! All of this will mean nothing if we do not come out ready to play and then play to our best potential both nights next weekend. Union started poorly but has gotten its act together. They lost a lot from last year and are very young but are getting into their game again. Would just love a 3 point weekend but honestly, would settle for a split.
 
Re: RPI Hockey 2017 - 2018: A Wealth of Notions

a few observations from my view of the RPI game. At times RPI did look like a much different team than last years. The break out and passing heading up the ice looked much improved. VLil looks like a new player and the offense seemed to have more of a natural flow to it. The in zone coverage needs work but its obviously early in the season. I think this team will be much better than what we have gotten use too.

I was actually a little surprised to see them there. I don't recall hearing them at Niagara; perhaps this was a "one night stand" on account of RIT's band having visited us during the last two times we played them at home?

It was a little funny when they were heading over for a joint performance during the end of the 2nd period for the intermission, we scored our 5th goal, and they started playing the fight song over by the corner crew. Needless to say, the corner crew wasn't too enthused. :p

No they aren't. I can remember a most enjoyable game when Colgate brought their band to HFH. The two bands definitely enjoyed the competition and made it an even better experience for the fans.
But by favorite experience with bands was a game against Army at West Point. My seats were right next to the RPI band which made the trip. What made it so special was that there was no Army band in sight. There was a lot of scrambling on the Army side of the arena, and band members came running into the arena. I don't think that the Army band was going to play at the game until the RPI band showed up. By the end of the night, the two bands got together and entertained the crowd. Just great.

Can confirm the lack of a band at West Point except when an opposing team shows up with one. In the past several years I think I’ve seen the band show up for the RMC Paladins when they visit from Ontario. Of course RMC shows up with a great band, most in kilts and not only do they play great they dance too. So Army breaks out their band for that. Army has a great hockey team and they hurt the fan experience by not having the band show up for their home games. Again kudos to RPI for bringing the band to RIT. I’m hoping to be at the HFH when the other Tigers visit in November.

That explains the RIT announcers talking about the RPI band taunting the RIT fans. I knew they were wrong when the next shot showed several of our band members mixed in with their's, but I didn't know why they were together.

Certainly wasn't intentional. We're not Cornell.

With vicb not running the annual ECAC Pick the Standings contest this season, I have decided to take up the torch and run it. I know we are running on rather short notice as the season will start in just four days, but hopefully we can get a decent turnout regardless. If you'd like to participate, just head on over to the thread and submit your prediction! Thanks and good luck!

Thanks. Of course, the final results may not be posted until the start of next season. :p
