I thought that RPI has been having trouble winning its tourney in recent years (and they have), but Michigan Tech hasn't won the GLI since 1980 despite playing every year. That's before our previous appearance. Granted that the competition is more difficult in the GLI than the RPI tourney.

RB: Do you remember when the RPI tourney drew the best teams in the country and the competition was fierce? I used to love the 3 day round robin and then the 2 day tournaments more recently as I got to see the best in the country.

?? Derek Stepan ??

I see D'Amigo has the 7th goal for USA, though ;), as well as an assist on their 5th goal.

He HAD the 3rd goal originally, but it later got switched. He did get the 7th, though.

And he received Player of the Game for the USA.

Yeah, that 3rd goal was Stepan all the way. The statskeepers in Saskatoon were straight lousy.

I would have given POTG to Stepan, but D'Amigo was deserving too. The whole line along with UND's Danny Kristo was redonk after the 5-minute major was over in the 1st.

It didn't really draw more than one top team at a time since I was a student.

They were worn out after the previous two games. ;)

I hope we can make some noise at the GLI. I noticed the Big Blue Blowhard blog slammed us for being the weakest 4th team ever, blah blah. Hope we can send Red and his hair dye packing. :eek: :D

Everybody who's got players missing for the World Junior Championships, raise your hand.

NOT SO FAST, MICHIGAN!

Being on the top line, I expect nothing less. Unfortunately when he's done at RPI he has to play for the Maple Leafs. :eek:

Kessel, an ex gopher who only plays offense, UVM's Stahlberg, Notre Dame's Hanson, as well as DU's Bozak and RPI's D'Amigo could be the beginning of something good.

A nice article by Ed Weaver about RPI going to the GLI http://www.troyrecord.com/articles/2009/12/26/sports/doc4b35a088c3c8b512676126.txt.

I could have sworn, however, that the GLI was also played in December 1985 at the JLA, so this isn't RPI's first visit since the NCAA tourney in 1985. Well, he was only off by a few months. :D

While checking old Intercollegiate Hockey Newsletters before posting this, I was reminded that Mark Jooris had five goals and two assists vs. Michigan in the opening round. I hope that someone can duplicate that. :)

I would also argue about whether the 1985 championship was RPI's greatest feat. We were favored in both games, although perhaps not big favorites vs. UMD. I would think that the 1954 championship was a greater feat. Then again, perhaps Weaver is correct since there was more competition overall in 1985 than in 1954.


Edit: He wrote "fete" not "feat". It's rather odd wording, but maybe it is correct, although there may have been a greater fete after the team returned home at the Student Union.

It looks like Ed Weaver doesn't read USCHO as he wrote again on Saturday that this is RPI's first trip to the GLA since the 1985 Final Four http://www.troyrecord.com/articles/2009/12/27/sports/doc4b36e7b38a4f7474260865.txt. He also was way off on the RPI-UMD score, although he got the PC score correct.
