Yep, 4-1 win by RPI. Crimson are now 5-6-1 / 7-8-2. Their conference max is 31.
Brown's sweep puts them at 8-2-1.

Also in other scores, though slightly off-topic, Northeastern shutout BC 3-0. Yes, you read right, Hockey East bottomfeeder Northeastern shutout #2 Boston College. I think the worst part about the result of this game is that means Northeastern has the championship belt now.

Northeastern's second game from now is Holy Cross. Let's all hope...

A very entertaining game tonight...I was surprised by RPI! They played a tough nosed game and, unlike Union, will be a tough game. How bad was the pep band? granted, a lot of the students are on break but please! Either stay home or come out! don't give a half assed attempt! And the cowbell! So sad!

Other than the odd game here and there, the only ECAC teams with significant amounts of nonconference action left are Harvard's Beanpot games and gap-fillers for the corresponding holes in Brown's schedule. I wouldn't bet on Northeastern holding the belt for long, but it could potentially be with BC or BU when Harvard gets them at the 'pot, or with UNH, Merrimack, or Lowell when Brown plays them 2 and 3 weeks from now.

The two handed cow bell was hilarious ! The pep band was the smallest I can ever remember.
As I have posted on the forum earlier in the year, this is a different RIP team. I think they look better than anytime since the Fridge took over the coaching reins (94-95?). The style is so much more disciplined that my conclusion is the improvement is due to assistant coach Andrew Will (a Union grad).
They will be tough on most nights for the remainder of the season. One loss this year seemed to be flu related (Yale). And the loss to Colgate was likely due to younger players being used in a meaningless consolation game.
I bought my tickets for Rensselaer at Cornell last night. There seem to be plenty at the RIP ticket office. Section O!

[q]How many degrees of separation are we from N'eastern?
[/q]We miss a "short" path via Brown by just one inverted weekend:
1/9: UConn - Holy Cross
1/10: Holy Cross - Northeastern
1/16: Brown - UConn
If the Holy Cross games were transposed, it would work. Oh well.
The simplest scheduled path via Harvard that I can see is 4 transfers and 7 defenses:
1/23: BC - Northeastern (after Northeastern successfully defends the belt 4 times vs BU, Holy Cross, and Providence twice)
2/2: Harvard - BC (after BC defends against Providence -- thus, if Providence took the belt from Northeastern BC still has a shot to take it here)
2/6: Yale - Harvard (Harvard's very next game)
2/14: Cornell - Yale (after Yale defends against Brown and Colgate)
So the heck with it -- let's just concentrate on beating HE teams in the NCAAs and taking the belt then.

The section O seats are the only ones that Cornell sends to the opponents which is one of several reasons that, along with Harvard, section O sucks.
