I'm considering heading up for what is arguably our biggest game in years.

Yup. Barred! Wow. Considering how poorly he acted on game threads I can only imagine what his political arguments would be like. Hyperbipolarism... is that a real thing Dr. Demento?

I hope you can. This could be a pro-RPI crowd I think.

It’s going to be a game time decision, but trying to be there.

A little late with this but congrats to the ACHA Team. If you get the chance ( next year I guess) go see some of their games. It is very good hockey. Primo seats always available too

I think the city of Schenectady and Rivers will be involved.

I worked for GE and lived in Schenectady in the early 80's; I have a certain fondness for Schenectady and know it's gone through a lot of pain with GE's much-reduced profile over the years.
Having said that, I would tap the breaks on a Union/City/Rivers joint project. The Rivers Casino has not been the cash flow champion Schenectady and the County were counting on. Even if money were no object, I'm not sure a 4,000 seat multipurpose venue makes the average Schenectadian's top 10 (or top 20) list of things to accomplish.

Certainly looks like there's enough undeveloped area on the peninsula at the river side of the harbor to fit it, and the planned living stuff looks to be on the Erie Blvd side, so no shortage of townies or places to pregame.

The Harvard women have a playoff game in the afternoon. I assume that if that game goes to several OTs, our game will be further delayed.

Anyone want to comment as to which of these titles they prefer? Additional suggestions are also fine.
Although I like the first one, I am concerned that it could jinx the team. Actually Coach Smith will probably go to LP whether or not we go. The second one implies that the team would go to LP, but it is not written as a certainty.

As I was writing the previous post, it dawned on me that Coach Smith has a good chance of winning ECAC CotY which would be the first time that an RPI coach has won. It has been won by a coach for all of the other teams in the past.

Re: RPI Hockey 2019 - 2020 Part II: Moving on with 2020 Vision!
That was indeed the implication of the second title. To be playing past the 15th of March would mean a trip to lake Placid for the first time is so long that I cannot remember (but we were there!!) None of us and i am sure this team, is tired of hearing Wait Until Next Year (which I hear so many times as a Brooklyn Dodger fan before 1955).
I do know Dan Fridgen was the coach, we lost the semi to Cornell 3-0 and beat Clarkson in the consolation game. We have played past the Ides twice since then but not in a final four of the ECAC (Shut out against North Dakota in theNCAA and I believe we had one second round series in the ECAC go past the 15th but we lost)
