RPI/Union Weekend.

[Jeff Hopkins '82]

Shame to see 3 minutes of crap play spoil what was essentially a great effort by the team.  We outplayed RPI for most of the game.

Other major disappointment was the student section in section E.  They made facetimers look good.  They spent the entire time between periods (and part of the game, too) texting away on their phones.  These little weasels didn't even stand for the Alma Mater.  

Now, get off my lawn.

... where they figure you will be interred sooner than  later, gramps. If we had smartphones not Western Union back in the day, we'd be texting, too. If you watched the game and you managed to get a date to go with you, she'd be busy updating her status, assuming the guy she's with counts as status.

Which leads to the question: Has anyone along the sides in Lynah been dinged by a puck while texting? At some point, there'll be an infamous selfie video of the puck whacking the immortalized couple. Viral. I'd lay odds it happens first at Quinnipiac.

tough to do such a good job screeing the goalie and hit him so many times.

Give RPI credit for recruiting the right goalie for the job.

I dare you to say that when Alec Dillon shows up next season. (6'5", 175 lb, with the 175 being generous) :-)

We can hit three pipes.

Alma obviously needs to get a facebook page for himself if he expects folks to stand when he arrives.::drunk::

The equipment's so big it doesn't matter (grumbles old man grumble).

That is certainly the truth. It looks truly hilarious with some of the women goalies who are quite small.


Thinking of goalies, it is a bit amusing that RPI has a goalie coming in next season whose name is Kira Bombay. Guess who her grandfather is? Well, actually it is Harry, not Gordon, but he was the source of the character's name and backstory.

Lost the shutout mid-third period owing to some bad penalties against Cornell. Thank goodness for one of our rare SHGs before that.

Hey, no Western Union, no CU, no hockey, no Lynah, etc.
