What impressed you about Leaman's practice?

He had some intense, focussed sessions on very specific skills. I remember in particular that he spent what seemed like an hour (but probably less) with one forward line on one drill from a faceoff in the offensive zone. With each of several scenarios from the faceoff outcome each player had a designated position to move to but what he was looking for was explosive speed in execution and you had the feeling this drill wasn't going to end until the players could execute it faster than they had ever thought possible.

Oh come now, don't pull a hokey-dope and beat around the bush. Call it out, and make sure it's not one of the easier comments like Mark did.

Lighten up, was kidding around. No offense intended.

Today is 31 March 2012. There are 189 days (27 weeks) until RPI's next game.


This is based upon 6 October for the start of next season.

That is the day that an exhibition game is supposedly scheduled.

Hey all, didnt take too long to catch up on things here. AspyDad bullying people as usual :) Let me just say these last few weeks have been heck for me with all my friends and family askign me how I feel about Union doing well....I start going into coach speak and give vague quotes about how its good for the league and the area. To answer the earlier question of Rabbani v. Curadi...it would be a draw as they would set off the big bang and create a whole new universe....be well all, will pipe in again soon.

Was very bored last night with no college hockey on tv. Guess it is starting to set in that after next weekend there will only be the pro games to watch. Or I could catch up on the good shows that were on while our ECAC tourney was not broadcast on tv.

So, UConn has actually detailed what would be necessary to move their team up to the HEA. Looks like they're actually serious. (They won't have the capacity at Freitas, with or without expansion, so that is still a stumbling block, but they've figured out where to add scholarships to the women to balance the Title IX concerns and the XL Center is willing to give UConn some dedicated space). That probably ends the RPI -> HEA pipe dream.

RPI-TV put up Six Minutes of RPI Goal Horn again, although this year they cheated by putting up about two minutes worth of end-of-game horn.

If they had made the video using the first 3/4 of the season-there would probably not be enough to fill 6 minutes.:(

Even then, it's only games that RPI-TV covers (read: non-televised home games, plus freakout since that was their pilot on TWCS). We won a whopping total of four games at home this year. -_-

This too will pass. We showed enough signs of life late in the season for me to really anticipate next season already. Let's hope their horn video for next year is longer than watching Titanic!;)

Or at least the good part with Kate Winslet on that couch. :D
 
Re: RPI Off-Season Thread 2012: An Off-Season to Be Optimistic

Yeah, I didn't have a whole lot of material to use..... I guess I should have called it Six Minutes of RPI Hockey Horns. To be completely fair though, I am missing a few (two maybe?) games that we filmed but there were some technical difficulties, so it was more for practice :). A quick count gives me a total of 37 home game goals for the entire season, 7 of which were from the first Acadia game.

I'm thinking of doing a highlight video of the year, of not just goals, but saves and some good checks, and other nice plays.. I'll let you guys know when it is done.

Not sure about that-first saw her more than 50 years ago in Boy On A Dolphin as a young actress-extremely hot even then. Winslet just seems to look somuch better now than 10 years ago. Speaking of getting better with age-fully expect our freshman class from this year to show so much more next year.
