Re: RPI Off-Season Thread 2010 -- The Calm Before the Storm
Agreed-always have been a Malchuk fan and I hope next year he gets a chance to really blossom. I would also like to see a healthy Helfrich and Bergin since I just did not feel either was 100% most of the year. We do need some size up front near the net and perhaps Tinordi can provide a little of what we need.
JL first: Seth has a ride waiting for JL -- if he can complete the tasks necessary for him to matriculate.
As for Brutlag, I totally agree. Brut and Malchuk were probably our two best "corner rats" down the stretch last season. They both have the stubborn determination to win corner battles. Same is true of Rabbani and Lee -- but both were banged up for parts of the year.
We've also discussed the help that Greg Burgdoerfer may well bring in the "widebody in front of the net" category. He's a physical forward with a Cornell build and he's got a year of D1 under his belt along with a year of RPI practices and weightlifting. If he plays with anything near the grit his brother had, he will be a very good physical addition to our forward corps...
