Re: RPI & Union @ Dartmouth & Harvard (11/9 & 11/10)
Good point. One other thing about Merriam is, as much as he scares the ba-geez-es (yes I made up that word) out of me when he's in net, especially when he goes to an area where the colour of the ice is white or red, the D corps need to be able to back him up, especially at this level. Curadi is a terrific defender, and the Union floodgates opened when we lost our second best penalty killer on the team (only to the goaltender, who is automatically your best PKer). It would not surprise me if, barring any additional action taken by the league, one of the extras that comes along is Curadi so that we have him for Harvard.
I don't know if I've seen incredible brilliance from Merriam the way I've seen it from York and Diebold, but he's no slouch in net. He can hold the fort.
I do think that we will indeed only travel with two gaolies, and Kasdorf is the most likley to be the odd-man out. On the other hand, I expect him to get a start against Mercyhurst, and after that, he would be on the travel roster, if he outperforms either of the other two.
