Period ends with RPI up 3-1 and we start the third with a power play.
Lets play a smarter period and eliminate the dumb penalties.
I would love to blame the officials, but I had my arm up before they did on those calls.
5 on 5 we handle this team easily. They will only hurt us if they take advantage of turnovers (which we are quite good at giving them). Defense has to stop this tendency to turn back with the puck. if you cannot carry it out then you have to throw it out with some effort and force and not risk WMU getting to the puck in our own zone. Make them skate the entire rink to bring it up as they seem to have difficulty with our fore checking
RPI penalty again.
If we hold on and win-do we play the late game tomorrow? And who do we prefer to play? personally i would like to go against ND as we see Harvard twice soon anyway.

Whoever we can defeat!Actually one consideration might be that we are currently 2-1 vs. Hockey East so that may help our comparisons against some of those teams. That being the case a loss to Notre Dame would put us at .500. So I would probably prefer Harvard. What are the rules for the final if it is tied after a 5 minute OT? (hope I didn't just jinx us)
