RPI has a Jekyll and Hyde trait this year. They are 10-14-2 but only two of those wins were at home. Coming off a hard fought somewhat overachieving Big Red Freakout win at home vs Yale, they could be trouble. If Cornell plays up to potential they should have no problem but...
If you have any doubts that RPI can play a good away game check out the 1-11-25 game at Clarkson which RPI won 4-1. This was the same day as Cornell's afternoon loss to Sacred Heart and thus I watched most of it live. It is available as an archived game on ESPN+.
Watching RPI live in Troy this year has been painful. I hope the pain for RPI continues tonight.

we are going to keep hitting the post on a goalie way out of position but still get a PPG when an RPI defender kicks one into the net
First time I've seen a line to get in past the door that isn't Harvard. Guess a lot of people want their hats.
I think the game tonight is really important for the Big Red. For me, it's more important than the Super Bowl.
This is new...cheerleaders in front of the band. Pom-poms and all.
Soon to be appearing at the Kennedy Center.

Big play by DeSantis to O'Leary.
6 on 5 goal for RPI. Ew.
The man who never seems to do anything wrong, Psenicka, BURIES it on a breakaway!!! Fuck yeah.
RPI hesitates to pull the sieve again (despite some extended time in our zone) and Psenicka puts it past him on the rush!

followed most of the game through here but turned it on just in time to see Psenicka pants a guy and then really make him ashamed. incredible finish, especially for Suda who decided he didn't care about his own life.

I'm laughing my ass off at this analysis. Suda for sure saved a goal or two at the end there.

The team's Instagram account posted a great slow-mo clip of DeSantis's beautiful pass to O'Leary:

There are several glitches and gotchas to the current broadcast system: hardware, camera angles, missing or underused cams over the goals and center ice, lighting hotspots, aging LED illumination that seems to have yellowed over the years. And yet ... this is so awesomely good compared to where we were 10-15 years ago.
Can't wait for the Ivy League network to step up to 4K cameras. And then ESPN can charge a premium for the higher feed quality. We are staying it Ithaca to see the Super Bowl but were we at home we could watch in 4k for $5 part of a one-month trial, via YouTube TV. I suspect once you are in $82 a month for YouTube TV, what's $5 more.

Definitely one of this season's TOP 10 plays. Outstanding feed by DeSantis and finish by O'Leary!
According to CHN they changed the first goal to Desantis. I thought it looked like it hit him but they sent Rego ahead for fist bumps. I would have assumed Desantis knew it hit him unless they really wanted that to be Rego's goal.
I had just finished complaining that I thought they were too busy trying to pick corners on the RPI goalie when Penney let fly that laser beam wrister in the top corner. That was a beauty. I thought they controlled most of that game without really dominating. Shane made some really big saves when it did get scrambly. Does that count as Casey's first Cornell win or does that stay on Schafer's record? I thought it was interesting that Jones stayed with the defense instead of moving to the middle of the bench. If I recall correctly, Syer used to move over. Four points from the defense last night. Maybe that was his reward for staying put

I thought the goal was going to DeSantis originally because he touched the puck as it was moving into the net after having hit his skate. When I heard Rego announced as the goal scorer, I thought DeSantis hadn't touched it in time but evidently the puck was not yet fully across the goal line when he touched it, so they changed the scoring accordingly.

Plus they lost that game against St Lawrence. Duh. That was the longest dog walk I have ever been in since I realized my mistake as soon as we set out. I guess in a year full of forgettable moments, it's going to pay off to have a mind that doesn't remember anything.
Quote from: VIEWfromKI thought it was interesting that Jones stayed with the defense
Also he's with the forwards, not the defense. I'm going to stop pretending I know what I'm talking about
