Marty's right.  At the Field House, the fans clap but don't sing.

I propose renaming it "Our Fight Song Has No Words".  Same melody.  Actual words:

Our fight song has no words, it's just a peppy song.
Our fight song has no words, so we just clap along-
We'd love some fight song words, but that will never be-
'Cuz all the local verbal skills are in Schenectady!

RPI TV feed. National anthems are currently going on. Those kids are actually pretty good.

Pretty good?

It's the best internet feed I watch all season, every season, consistently, hands-down.

I was referring to those kids who were singing the US anthem, but I agree about the feed.

Ah, OK.

Well, combining the two, I noticed that while the kids were singing, whomever it is producing the feed recognized the fact that it was a little hard to hear them, and actually pumped up the volume a bit.

It's really amazing how much better the free, produced-by-students RPI feed is, as compared to the feeds we pay for from ILDN and the other pay services.

So, Kasdorf stole one. Shots 44-16. He was outstanding.

Jim Hyla

Well I hope this game put to rest all the talk about Schafer can't change and he must go. I know we haven't heard anything from the boo birds lately, but I was just worried that all we needed was to lose a few games and they'd be out.

That had to be one of the best games that we've played in years. Yes, some of our shots were not placed well, but Kasdorf took care of rebounds as well. Early on at the game, we were saying he was holding on to everything, not even dropping it for his teammates when he could. Maybe that was a strategy.

So what about some of you who have seen RPI play this year. How does this compare to other games? RPI had some good chances, just not many of them. But obviously they couldn't control thr puck at either end of the ice. Were we just so much better than the other teams, or was RPI just playing way below their level?

If you remove the shots during power plays the total was 39-12.

The other factor on the ice besides goaltending was D. RPI's defense was in position on most of the plays and their team in general seems much more of a physically trained, bulked up squad than in the past. They pushed some of our guys off the puck several times last night. That didn't happen four years ago.

And I also think we didn't have any luck last night when Kasdorf let out a rebound. He didn't leave many but what there was didn't bounced to us.

On a side note, I just realized that this Android keyboard learned Kasdorf's name. Almost as impressive as RPItv.org . On the other hand, I just hand to edit four swype typos.

control the controllables..   shoot 40+ times on goal and allow only 1 and you will have a really good record.

split this weekend and then come home for the emotional harvard weekend.

The emotion level may be down, if students don't show up.

I did think we were getting pushed around a little more than usual, but yeah, we played a very good game.

Can't win 'em all.  And we've had a sufficient number of wins in close games this year that we were sort of owed a loss, to butcher probabilities a little.
