Just funny how CNU and Tufts have gotten better as the year has gone on, but RIT has not. Love opinions "soft" with no data behind it. Very entertaining...

Love the wishful thinking.

In March RIT won the facoffs and had a higher save %.

These games come down to secondary scoring, a couple of key, timely saves, and some halftime adjustments. CNU Fan take - CNU will win because RIT can't handle Cook. CNU top scorers - 12 goals (Cook 5) RIT top scorers - 8 (Gaston 0) Secondary scoring - 11-3 RIT AND RIT coaches changed goalies at half...

Calling the top middie on perennial power like UVA a 'bit player' is just a longer way for someone to say they know they're wrong but they never learned the life skills to deal with those situations graciously. Can you all start a different Forum for this, or redirect all of this to this NESCAC for...

For what it's worth, I think all of the D'Annolfo haters need to give him some credit for taking a very young roster to the final four with a very good chance of going back to championship weekend. RIT had the easiest path to the final four from a bracket standpoint but who wins or losses is out of...

For what it's worth, I think all of the D'Annolfo haters need to give him some credit for taking a very young roster to the final four with a very good chance of going back to championship weekend. Agree - Everyone was giving then a hard time because of their loss to Hamilton but he was able to get...

I’ll go…

RIT 21-16 over Bowdoin
Tufts 18-10 over W&L

RIT lost Liberty League Championship for first time since they joined. A bit of a chip on their shoulder.

Coming from someone who had no dog in the fight…that last CNU penalty was a pretty despicable call and definitely changed that game. Agreed. Just wish someone from CNU would acknowledge the stats. 15-14 after 3. Look at the face offs and look at the shots on goal in the 4th quarter. And with all th...

(Basically any ranked team they played). Not really the team to lecture anyone about defense. Not a great year.

Cue the CNU excuses blog....

CNU. 3 penalties for 2:30
RIT 5 penalties for 5:00 minutes
RiT leading scorer - 0 goals

CNU RIT game is going to be good. CNU struggles on the road but I don’t see them rolling over. Honestly, I think Mikey Thompson is probably happy about his draw because they have a chance to make it to Philly without seeing Salisbury. I’m sure the players feel the same. They’d rather be in this sit...

Predictions for elite 8: Tufts 16 - SJF 10 Salisbury 13 - W&L 8 Bowdoin 10 - Middlebury 9 CNU 14 - RIT 12 That CNU take is wild. I have RIT by at least 5+ in that one. Everything else looks on par. I don’t see the captains losing by 5+. I see it being a 1-2 goal game that can go either way. RIT...

More than losing games?

They have rules on number of miles a team can travel. With Wesleyan hosting Albany is easier radius then Boston
