RPI vs. Union 10/30/09

PUCKMAN RULES!!!
A true test tonight for the young Engineers. Their first experience with the ECAC and cross town rival.
I expect the team to play well with speed for 60 minutes.
They will continue to create opportunities.
Last week they were pretty good about staying out of the penalty box, they will have to continue that tonight.
I am looking for a 3-1 win. :D

LETS GO RED!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Re: RPI vs. Union 10/30/09

You point out some interesting things. I think penalties may indeed determine this game. I am not so sure though that our young guns can avoid taking a plethora of penalties from ECAC refs yet. Last weekend may have been an aberration-I cant recall a game where we did not take at least 1 stupid penalty. I'll take any win we can get by any score-Union is no pushover and is probably the favorite at home in this game. I do expect more scoring though-perhaps a 5-3 game which could go either way.

Re: RPI vs. Union 10/30/09

I will not be able to listen to the game, nor will I able to post on here for either game this weekend. I'll look forward to reading everyone's notes, and seeing the press conference at the end of the game.
 
0-0 and the game hasn't begun yet

0-0 and the game hasn't begun yet

For some reason I am getting very slow response from the internet. I hope that it clears up soon.

The officials, look out for insanity.

Tim Kotyra and John Murphy.

RPI fans will recall that Kotyra and Murphy were the guys in charge of Game 2 between RPI and Cornell last year.

Lord help us all.

We have our absolute worst record with Kotyra on the ice. At one time I recall we were 2-18-1 with him and it has only gotten worse since. This is not a good pairing for us.:(

Given the penalty and PK problems Union has had this year, this may work to RPIs benefit if these two jokers decide to get whistle happy. Of course, RPI has to stay out of the box too.

you really hate to see a game determined by the refs-but tonight that is again possible. Let's hope they let them play for the most part and they do not call the game to favor one team.

Poor officiating certainly helped determine the game in Schenectady last year. Just brutal stuff all around. Less whistles helps out Union.
