"Ya dance with the girl what brung ya." -- Ralph Kiner

We should see Galajda Friday and then, well, we'll see.  That's assuming Stewart is even healthy, which has been an open question lately.

I'm happy with either.  I really want to see Donaldson, Smith, and Malott back healthy as soon as possible.  

BTW, Tschantz really busted his ass all game and should be recognized.  It's a testament to how much the team has improved in his tenure that he's dropped from an average player to a healthy scratch.

It's hard to say what failed in the game, other than the amorphous "passion."  It wasn't like Clarkson where we were outclassed, it was as if the whole team was deflated.  Did they really rest on their laurels subconsciously?  Were they looking ahead?

Anyway, it's a teachable moment.  Beat Clarkson.  Go Red!

The odds were slim that we (or anyone) would win out the rest of their games.  I'll take the loss now.  I would rather take a teachable loss now, than say, in the NCAA tournament.

its not as though we were outplayed.. out scored though..  i mean you get a first shift goal to get RPI some energy..  we have tons of chances, and then the get a Shortie where the puck just deflected to the perfect spot.  we got the goal to get to 2-1 and probably missed 3-4 open net chances from inside 2-3 feet.   Several games we got that goal and came back..   We still have multiple dominating shifts where the puck did everything but go in. Who though we would win 25-30 in a row to win out?  Lets win the ECAC, get to at least Placid and then come what may in the NCAA.  This team has flaws but it gives itself chances every game but one this year..

I think Jim Hyla and Andy W did...**]
