RPI @ Maine (10/7/16 & 10/8/16)

Re: RPI @ Maine (10/7/16 & 10/8/16)

Every few years it seems to me the refs are instructed to look for certain things and call them to the letter of the rule book. Eventually the players and the refs level off but the first few weeks are tough.

They have a point of emphasis every year. By the time league play rolls around, we're back to what we had before.

I'm a little confused, aren't the officials a product of their individual leagues? Do they get their instructions from the NCAA or from their league. I have (as most of you have) seen games from all the college leagues and they are all officiated differently.
This year, they all seem to be in unison. What's up with that?

Maybe it's just me, but I'd rather see consistency, because you know what to expect. An official should enforce the rule book, not become a variable within the game. And it's a lot tougher than it looks, that's for sure.

Most of the league rules seem like they'd be protocol-related (aside from the options of overtime and shootout with league scoring, so long as they have a proper NCAA determination), although I wouldn't be surprised if leagues give points of emphasis to the officials during a season; I know head contact, hits from behind, and interference have been points of emphasis in the past.
 
What kind of game is rpi going to play? Who should we watch for? Maine will play a few freshman. Goaltending will be McGovern I'm pretty sure. Big kid, who can take up some net.Best players are Robbins and Byron.. Doesn't matter if maine has a big lead, they have shown they can fold like a cheap tent.

RPI expected scorers are Bourbonnais, Nanne, Melanson. Whiffen and a few youngsters have offensive skill. The Back end is capable of scoring with Prappavesis , Reno and Wilson leading. Newcomer Perry played quite well in shutting out McGill. Appert has not yet committed to naming a starter in net but my money is you'll see him Friday night.
