Great job. It is appreciated.
Will you be able to get in on the scores thread this season? Even if only during the intermissions, your input would be of real interest during the games.

Thanks for the work and enthusiasm ! I can only hope we achieve the record you've predicted....but until I see consistent scoring, any double digit win total will continue to be a struggle. I feel like Marshall is set for a bounce back season and will push Savory for ice time...just a hunch. Looking forward to kicking things off on Saturday!

Thank you guys for all the positive feedback! I am making a big effort this season to get more students interested in the team, and I hope the team being more successful will coincide with the efforts to really boost it. We posted a breakdown of the out-of-conference schedule this morning. I won't post here anymore with our articles since I do not want to spam with the regular previews and analysis. I recommend that you follow Red Army on twitter if you want to be updated whenever we release a new article.

I enjoyed the write up . Nice to see a student interested. Some points of note ... your line and d pairing predictions as of this weekend you have 1 d pairing correct and no line combo's. Your PP lines although a good try aren't correct either. I would suspect the same with the PK units.
 
Re: RPI Hockey 2019 - 2020: Nordic Combined

CHN released their first podcast of the season. A question asked towards the end at about 47:50 is which teams picked to finish outside of the top 5 of their conference that will be better than expected and make some noise. RPI is mentioned at about 54:15 for the ECAC and is talked about for about a minute.

Re: RPI Hockey 2019 - 2020: Nordic Combined

In honor of Simon Kjellberg and Kendra Farole, today is 3 October 2019. There are 2 days until RPI's next game.


This is based upon 5 October 2019 for the start of next season.
 
Re: RPI Hockey 2019 - 2020: Nordic Combined

Has anyone noticed that Brock has a Friday night game in St. Catherines at 7:15 P.M. It will be done at around 9:45 P.M. Add about another 45 minuted to shower, dress and load the equipment on the bus and its' around 10:30 P.M. Then its' about 6 hours to Troy making there arrival time at a hotel about 4:30 A.M. on Saturday.

Only other choice they have is to go home and board the bus at around 6:00 A.M. on Saturday and arrive in Troy at about noon for a 4 P.M. game.

Either option spells no sleep, little sleep nor getting the right kind of sleep.

They should be little more than zombies by the time warm up starts at the Field House on Saturday.

Kind of leaves us with little in the way of excuses if we do not at least look good despite it being our very first game and their fifth.

If that is correct, and I have no reason to doubt it, we will learn very little from this game. :(

In my opinion, you rarely learn anything of value from these D1 vs. other exhibition games. The coaches are usually throwing a bone to players who won't crack the regular season line-ups; for that reason the line combinations are all messed up; the competition is generally sub par; and the D1 side is playing to avoid season-ending injuries, among other things. What's to like?

I too enjoyed the write-up, but the line combo guesses are the only part I didn’t like. The lines are going to change throughout the year, players are going to come in and out of the lineup. It’s just the nature of hockey, you need your entire team throughout the season. I just don’t see any reason to post one and exclude some players who will likely contribute to the season.
Keep the thoughts coming though, very much appreciated.

The reason to post things like line combinations and player participation is to start a dialogue. Isn't that what being a sports fan is all about.
Keep the conversation going. Make some predictions. Its fun.
