Re: UNH vs RPI 10/10/09
Been a while since I've heard that.
This was great. WRPI just called it a "morale booster" - I think that's quite the understatement. Especially after the UMass game Thursday, I'm getting a better feeling about this season.

Not sure where all the UNH people were tonight. There's usually 3 or 4 more regulars that hang out here on game days.

We did get over 200 posts against both UPEI and UMA with no help from the opponents.

Another great thing to hear walking out of HFH.
Of course, I'm not actually at the HFH. But, I'll still take it.
Time to go change my jersey from Red to the Sabres and watch the Sabres-Preds game.

Re: UNH vs RPI 10/10/09
I am still uncomfortale with our getting 3 more penalties than the opposition. If we continue to do that game after game, it will catch up with us too often. I hope we do not get the reputation of a team that takes easy penalties-the refs do indeed seem to call certain teams by reputation.

Re: UNH vs RPI 10/10/09
First hand account time, just got back to Syracuse:
Pirri and D'Amigo were getting shut down by UNH. This allowed Chase Polacek to have a field day all night. The first goal, if you don't have B2, you missed one that could have gone on SportsCenter if they actually cared about college hockey. Polacek, who passed across the crease, COMPLETELY faked out the goalie, and Rabbani had an easy shot on an open net.
Second period, we MUST WORK ON NOT GETTING IN THE BOX! We spent half of the period on the penalty kill, and I think about 4-5 minutes straight (or as straight can be) on the kill led to UNH's goal.
The one thing I was REALLY impressed with, though, is there was no dreaded third period. They played a 60 minute game against this team, and even up 2 with 11-12 minutes left, they still consistently kept the pressure up.
I can't wait until Black Friday, or going up to Appleton.

Sorry to show up late, even by my standards (game's been over for hours). But hope you had a great summer...

Re: UNH vs RPI 10/10/09
After reading through the entire thread, a couple things:
Second RPI goal: I was up with the band, so I had the best angle on this play, and I had sight of the puck the entire time. In a situation like that, the whistle is only to blow when the referee loses sight of the puck, which I am assuming he did not.
PA Announcer: He isn't new, he actually does all of the women's games. When the normal men's PA announcer needs a night off for one reason or another (and it's usually one game around this time), the women's PA announcer will substitute.
To the UNH fans: You guys thought York was tough? There's some shoulders in Ithaca and Hanover you can cry on for that one. He's a draft pick for the Columbus Blue Jackets, and I guess tonight he showed everyone at Houston and listening on the radios why this is so.
Refs: Feola and Carusone. Surprisingly, Feola has earned respect. Carusone is still either a Union or Clarkson boy through and through; can't STAND seeing RPI leading.

I have to laugh at the short memories of 'Cats fans. RPI went into Durham last fall and gave the 'Cats all they could handle, losing 1-0. Is it really surprising that they took their lumps in our barn? I think not.

Hey, scoreboard wise, they performed exactly the same as last year. Only difference is that in a year's time, we learned how to score.

Re: UNH vs RPI 10/10/09
Anyway, it's still baseball season -- at least for another 5 hours or so
Have always had a soft spot for the 'Tute (not) ever since Jim Salfi's #8 seed gang broke my heart -- before most folks on this thread were born -- by knocking #1 ranked UNH out of the post-season ECAC playoffs 6-5 in OT.
Single game format then, not best of three as now. To make matters worse, since the NCAA tourney was just four squads, that meant we were done for the year as well (back then, the ECAC champ and runner up faced their two WCHA counterparts).
So one OT goal -- after we'd fought our way back, to tie following several quick ones against a badly-injured-but-game Cap Raeder in net -- and sayonara...
But the folks in Troy have a great school just the same.
Sorry, Dean -- just dropped the ball on this one.

Re: UNH vs RPI 10/10/09
I remember that game quite well. It was RPI's last victory while I was a grad student. Rick Smith scored the OT game winner, his second goal of the game -- and second of the season.
I thought that Raeder was sick, not injured.

Re: UNH vs RPI 10/10/09
Naah -- my recollection is that he had a pulled muscle and restricted lateral movement (groin maybe?). FWIW, I was sitting right behind the RPI bench all night gently riding a few guys (remember Gerry Beauclair? Quite a character!).
The other thing I remember was the three quick goals Cox (Cliff, not Ralph), Jamie Hislop and Gordie Clark scored while both teams were on an extended 3 on 3 due to multiple/offsetting penalty calls. Real puck-on-a-string stuff.
But yeah -- took me a while to get over that one. I was in the Fenway bleachers with two fellow HU grad school buds when Bucky Bleeping Dent went deep in the '78 single game playoff, and even that didn't hurt as much.
Speaking of which, nice of us to tank in the 9th today...
Finally someone (slightly) older than myself!

Re: UNH vs RPI 10/10/09
I jsut checked the Intercollegiate Hockey Newsletter -- it says that Raeder had an ankle injury.
Yes, I remember Gerry Beauclair. He was the kind of player that RPI fans loved, and everyone else hated. He had a wicked shot from the point which was quite erratic -- just as likely to end up on the stage with the band as on net -- and he took a lot of penalties.

Re: UNH vs RPI 10/10/09
Then freshman Dan Magnarelli had to come in after Cap gave up a few quick ones, and I don't think he'd even played more than a minute or two (if that) of college hockey. That wouldn't happen nowadays.
I remember Mags also gave up a real softie before settling down -- fired or even banked in from center ice?!
Gerry was fun in his own way (#22, if I remember?). I remember him lofting the puck into Snively's rafters -- up where the arrows were sticking out of the roof from gym class -- and returning to the bench to announce to Salfi "sorry, Coach, but I had to punt".
BTW: can you believe we're discussing the details of a single game from 35 years and 7 months ago. It's as if we'd been sitting next to each other that night and talking about one from Augist of 1938
Great info about Rick Smith's two goals -- didn't know that. Wish he'd waited one game longer.
That makes sense -- I knew he (Cap) couldn't go to his right, and tried to game it out.

Re: UNH vs RPI 10/10/09
Smith only played in 8 games that year (I just looked it up), but played regularly the next three years and contirbuted significantly more.
Beauclair wore 22 that year, but wore different numbers his other three seasons. (2 in 72-73 and 74-75 and 17 in 75-76.)
