Not the best way to start your home season.

Double Ouch.  RIP lived up to it's derogatory nickname.  Scott Diebold the #2 goalie went all the way and assisted on one of the Bentley goals.  Bentley went to school last night, learned RPI's weaknesses and exploited them with confidence.

My take-away:  Union has scored on two straight penalty shots.  When's the last time we scored on one?

The last time we had an NHL Hall of Famer take one.

There's something really weird going on in our history of missed penalty shots taken and conceded penalty shots from the opponents. Since 1965, we've taken 21 penalty shots and have scored on 4 of them...with the last 10 attempts being all misses. During the same post-1987 time period, opponents have been awarded 9 penalty shots, converting 6/9 for goals. 6/9 vs 0/10! What gives? Are players haunted by the memory of Joe Nieuwendyk? I tried looking for some NCAA-wide statistics on penalty shots but it's not a standard thing to keep track of, apparently.

Cornell scoring on a penalty shot is the new Mets no-hitter.

clearly it's the system.

So, who had Union starting 0-3 in the office pool?

If Union doesn't come out and absolutely stomp Harvard tonight, I'll have to believe that Teddy has something going this year, which would disturb my worldview.

I'll have to believe that Teddy has something going this year.

He does - good recruiting (11 NHL draft picks,) better conditioning, and a new "Assistant Head Coach,"  ::twitch::

No worries; they just need to run the table to better their record from last year (18-3-1).

Two tweets of interest out of the RPI-UConn game tonight:

Well, I know several people other than myself who won a Rensselaer Medal and turned down the half-tuition award to enroll in a better engineering program...  Anyway, I didn't hear the UConn students chant this, but there was maybe a busload of 50 students crammed into a tiny section in the cavernous XL center.  The same building that poser Buccigross called a "classic barn" last week.

Interesting note: RPI has a facility 2 blocks away from the XL Center for some reason. Closer than even UConn's Law School here in town.

Hey, them's fighting words!

RPI managed 1 shot in the 3rd, so it definitely felt familiar.  1-1 final.
