This one could have should have been a cake walk. We scored 6! But for me Having marshall in net right now is like having a radar detector in your car that is not working. You feel protected but in actuality you have no protection. He has talent, some day he may be so good that he is a starter in the NHL. But right now, I have zero confidence that he can stop what is necessary in the RPI net for us to being a competitive team. If we do not have anything better on the bench, then we have no place to go.

Win on a given night or win in the long run? He may see more potential in Marshall that he can develop. He may believe in the value of depth. He may be delusional, I don’t know for sure. Belichick has often been questioned for skimping on salaries at some positions (why wouldn’t he put the best team on the field) but they always spend to the salary cap and when injuries pile up during the season we see the value he puts on having a deeper roster (by saving some money for critical subs). Whatever the reason, if it works Smith will be a hero and if it doesn’t he won’t be around long.
That’s true, but we had 4 ties last year and none this year so we haven’t matched last year’s point total.

That’s the first time since Smith became head coach that RPI has won two straight games. Last time it happened was 1/28 and 2/3/17 against Clarkson and Colgate.
What about the Union weekend?

While they may not have been very ascetically pleasing wins, we have won two straight games. And we have scored 8 goals in the last approximately 61:30. Just sayin.'
Clarkson is a tough opponent who has had our number over the last few years, no illusions about that. Let's see where we go tomorrow night. Let's go, Red!

Lol! Much truth to that!
That we haven't scored against CCT in the last about 4 or 5 games was what was on my mind.

That was quite the sieve-fest. I was surprised the band showed up; they mentioned they've already started classes, so I imagine Joe Pisacano couldn't make the trip up on that account. Maybe tomorrow? The roads were actually quite nice.
At least we also showed that we can hold a lead, even if we were making it tough on ourselves and had some loosey-goosey D there for a couple minutes. I was beginning to wonder if it'd be like the 08-09 game up there.
Let's just hope we didn't use up our scoring quota for the month, and can maybe put one in tomorrow night vs. a team we haven't scored on since AspyDad's Great Coach was behind the bench.
