Alumni in the pros 25-26

[Trotsky]

I would definitely have Greening ... in the top 10.

You have convinced me.  I swap out Chartrand for Greening.

[Trotsky]

This makes me even happier that the currently known recruit list for 2026 is IMHO significantly better than Cornell's.

We look forward to their transfers.

No, I am not that much of a jerk.

Sorry that I originally posted the following on the wrong thread.

I just felt like doing this for RPI.

It is obvious to me that only half of this list is of comparible NHL achievement to all of Cornell's. This makes me even happier that the currently known recruit list for 2026 is IMHO significantly better than Cornell's. (I add that neither Heisenberg's list nor CHN agrees with the 8 players Coach Lang hinted at recently. CHN includes these eight but also others who are unlikely to be arriving this year or in some cases ever. The coach said that he wants to add up to four more including from the evil portal.) BTW, I did not give Neil Little any credit for all the times that the Flyers recalled him only to be the backup sieve. The advantages of having an AHL team in the same town.

1. Adam Oates
2. Daren Puppa
3. Joé Juneau
4. Mike McPhee
5. Brian Pothier
6. Brandon Pirri
7. John Carter
8. Ken Hammond
9. Kraig Nienhuis
10.. Graeme Towhshend

Half that team was on the ice at the same time.  RPI '85 was something to see.

Wasn't Barrasso RPI, or have I gone insane?

Was Townshend the guy who Adessa (the coach is fat!!!) made his you can't do that clap clap, clap clap clap about?

Barrasso was drafted by Buffalo the same year that Puppa was, but he never played for RPI or any college. I vaguely recall that someone recruited him.

Townshend supposedly caused Adessa to be fired.

Five of those did play for the 1985 NCAA championship team (Oates, Puppa, Carter, Hammond, Nienhuis). So did Mike Dark, Tim Friday, and George Servinis each of whom did play at least some in the NHL. I think that is all. I suspect that Mark Jooris could have.

That wouldn't surprise me, but we will see in a year. I suspect that most, if not all, RPI's losses this offseason will be players whom we want to lose.

Any coach who could get AIC to win anything is talented. He might get attracted elsewhere if RPI makes the NCAA tourney in the next couple of years. I will be happy next year if RPI makes Lake Placid for the first time ever.

I recently heard from the mother of a RPI connected guy that Adessa was being investigated for shenanigans not related to Townshend. She said that the Townshend story was public but the other crap he pulled was not.  Her son and his friends were called in to spill the beans on Adessa.  She didn't say he refused to rat him out but I think that is what she meant. She's a very nice woman but we tend to talk at each other rather than have conversations. I need a translator when I talk her.

We got on the subject of under the table actions when I mentioned some stories about NIL and such.

Moulson had 369 points. He's the clear #3 for now.

Manderville was a lauded defensive forward.

How many goals did Dryden score?

Do you have any stats for that? I don't know how good the analytics are from that era but Moulson has 4 more DPS than Manderville.

Best game I ever saw at Lynah was 1985-RPI.  Oates versus Nieuwy.  RPI scores twice late to survive.  Second best game was Schaf breaks stick over head, we immediately fall behind 4-0, final score C-6, Sucks-5

[Trotsky]

Oates, Puppa, Carter, Hammond, Nienhuis, Mike Dark, Tim Friday, George Servinis, Mark Jooris

By far the best college hockey team in my viewing lifetime (81 to present).

1. RPI '85

---- huge gap ----

2. Harvard '89
3. Maine '93
4. Cornell '20


BTW, I have no memory of Nienhuis.  The others all strike fear into my heart.

[Jeff Hopkins '82]

Moulson had 369 points. He's the clear #3 for now.

How many goals did Dryden score?

How many goals did he stop?

According to NHL.com he made 11,083 saves.
