In a particularly boring episode at the Field House tonight
 
	1	2	3	TOT
RPI	1	2	5	 8
RIT	0	0	0	 0
 
Sorry, no scoring or penalty details, just a few random observations.
 
Why does RPI even play against this team?
RPI looked pretty bad until the first 1:45 minutes in the third period, in
which they scored 3 goals.
There is not much else to say, a few minor fighting scenes in which the
official (Noeth) gave, what seemed to me to be random penalties, except for the
initial instigation penalties, which IMO he did a good job with.
Another question, is it now taboo to give 5 minute major penalties for either
fighting or roughing?  IMO there was at least one occasion where both players
threw multiple punches and should have gotten at LEAST 5 minutes for roughing
if not fighting/Game Misconducts.  I believe, that in NCAA rules, the refferee
may give 5 minute roughing penalties without Game penalties attached.
This, IMO, was a big waste of a game for RPI, they could have at least played
a bad Div I Independent Team.
