Opponent News 18-19

[Jim Hyla]

Check out RPI TV on Youtube for this afternoon's game vs UMass Lowell. Just before the 6:50 mark of the first period RPI scored on itself when adding an extra man during a delayed powerplay call against Lowell.

Not as nifty as Mitch's empty net goal but nearly as rare.

Unfortunately all I get from RPI TV is a message that the content was blocked due toi a copyright issue.

Maybe there's something in the pucks, USCHO reports that North Dakota had 2 own goals in game Saturday against Alaska Anchorage and now has 4 in last 4 games.

"7. North Dakota scores four goals in its opponent's net and two in its own on Saturday

North Dakota put two pucks into its own net to give Alaska Anchorage a 2-0 lead on Saturday night. UAA's Nicolas Erb-Ekholm was given credit for both goals. According to Brad Schlossman, the two own goals gave UND four in its last four games."

I wonder what's the record for a season?

I was thinking about grabbing a copy of the goal for YouTube when I too saw that message.  We actually looked at the goal on my phone at the rink and the original shot was of the RPI player sitting on the ice after drawing the penalty.  But on a longer view at home last night - before they pulled the video - they showed a different view as a replay.  It wasn't all that enlightening due to the shot being from the other end of the rink.

The loss of the video due to copyright adds insult to injury.  We had to sit through the crappy song selection during the game. They even played a song each time Lowell scored.

Those weren't empty net own goals, however.  Those were the type of goals where it goes in off your own Dman's skate.  I assume.  Otherwise 4 in 4 games is utterly insane.  IINM Cornell has benefited from only 1 en own goal in the 38 years I have been a fan.  (Dave Crombeen at RPI 3/1/86)

The game is back here.  Watch from about 18:30on the YouTube clip to see the play develop. At 20:00 you can see the replay showing the whole ice view. The announcer called it a deflection on watching the replay.  If so, it might have been off the point defender's stick.

I emailed RPI TV about the music problem and their reply a day or two ago was that RPI TV had requested that YouTube strip the music out of the video so that it could be restored.  I didn't know that YouTube would take care of this type of request.

Watch from 1:25:30 to see the RPI team self destruct in the last 5 minutes of period 2.::twak::

Princeton lost their 6th straight last night, shut out at home by Arizona State.

Princeton lost their 6th straight last night, shut out at home by Arizona State.

After their rough CNY weekend, their last 4 games have been against teams in the top 10 of PWR (#1, 4, 4, 10)

Looks like we can count Kuffner & Véronneau out of the Hobey chase.

Meanwhile QU is having the season we did last year and has 2 of the top 10 goal scorers nationally in Priskie & Tufto.

[Iceberg]

Princeton is a one-line team that was able to catch lightning in a bottle the second half of last year. Their issue has always been a lack of defense and goaltending, strength of schedule aside.

Q is playing with a lot of confidence. I'll be at the game in Hamden next month, which will be my first time there.  Looking forward to it.

There's nothing to look forward to about going to watch a game at Quinnipiac. The traffic jams leaving the rink are horrible. The loud, canned music they play -- even though there may be two pep bands there -- is annoying. The "sellouts" they always have consist of hundreds of empty seats. If you're lucky, they'll also give out thundersticks to the fans who are there. They have hockey cheerleaders. And of course Pecknold is one of the most despised opposing coaches. Other than that, it's a great atmosphere.

But a positive is that you can eat dinner in New Haven, including at one of the overrated-but-still-good pizza places, instead of eating the shit they serve at the arena.

IIRC, the CT & RI Cornell clubs are having some kind of a shindig in conjunction with the game.

You really have this one wrong.  Best pizza anywhere.  Stick to lacrosse.

Please don't leave the joint nameless. We've not really visited NH since 06.

And tonight I'll take my pizza with Onion.  Yale did, too 3-0.

Hockey cheerleaders are awesome, even if they don't skate.

Princeton lost again to ASU.  That is going to be a tough home pair.

[margolism]

Not sure what is go8mg on with Princeton's lack of offense - I thought that was supposed to be their threat.

Al, are you talking about New Haven's pizza or the arena's?
