Well said TroyBoy, this illuminating quote from the front page story on the game basically states that Cornell wasn't allowed to Maul UNH like it does everyone in the ECAC.

" The game commenced with the ice rising ahead of Scrivens. New Hampshire utilized good team speed and a strong transition game to keep the Big Red on their heels, but the defense generally held firm in the Grade-‘A’ scoring areas. Each side threw some big hits and played the body effectively, but the WCHA officiating crew kept play moving and left the whistles pocketed."

That is a great fluff article. But he failed miserably to coach that team to Albany. By his own admission he had a great goalie, hobey baker candidate, three awesome freshman, and role players to do the job but they weren't in Albany. The buck stops where?
I know I am not a fan because I criticize bouffount boy

I guess I am mad because I picked them to finish 4th in the ECAC when you knuckloeheads had them 8th or 9th and you still praise him.

he can recruit but can he coach??

If you want teams to root for in this year's tournament, try UNH, Michigan, and Yale.

Wouldn't it be a hoot to have three-quarters of the Frozen Four consist of teams that RPI beat this year?

Why would anyone root for Michigan? I mean, I know RPI beat them and all, but no... Not going to do that.
 
Re: RPI Off-Season Thread 2010 -- The Calm Before the Storm

Well, OK, we can root for UAH in that regional.

Then RPI can beat those guys next year. ;)

Full disclosure Doc -- league or no league, I was actively rooting against Cornell yesterday. :D :D
 
Re: RPI Off-Season Thread 2010 -- The Calm Before the Storm

Was I the only RPI fan to root for the faux red yesterday? :eek:
 
Re: RPI Off-Season Thread 2010 -- The Calm Before the Storm

I couldnt root for SUNY Pyongyang yesterday....I know they are ECAC but it just wasnt happening.
 
Re: RPI Off-Season Thread 2010 -- The Calm Before the Storm

I liked the RIT-UNH match-up better for the Tigers, so I was not cheering for SUNY Ithaca, no.

Best of luck to the Elis, though. I would love to see them making it to Detroit.

Would be even better if Yale could take it all-then we would have a national champ that we beat twice in one year:eek:

For bracket purpos- oh wait, there's no lunch on line with that bracket. I was a bit neutral, and for the time I did watch (since I was going to a party), I saw Cornell doing their usual cheating and a player skating with two sticks so the flopping flounder wasn't deprived.

The only thing missing was the UNH faithful chanting "OVERRATED..."

I know he graduated already, but Happy Birthday to last year's captain, Mathieu Angers-Goulet.

Here's hoping RIT can make a big impression in the Frozen Four! Really shows how much parity exists in college hockey.

I'm also looking forward to playing them next season. RPI will be hosting RIT on October 22nd. Should be a good challenge for us early in the season.

Hooray for tech schools (except for Clarkson)!
