With the ECAC schedule ready to open up in earnest (say hello to first place Quinnipiac, who beat Princeton 5-2 last night) on Friday, it's time to check in with the Record's Ed Weaver to get his thoughts on the league picture this season. We'll ask him about the Engineers' tribulations of the last month, get an injury update, and see what lies in store in the North Country this weekend.
We'll also get his thoughts on the women as well, forced last weekend to walk away from a pair of home games with just one point to show for it - and a tough home weekend to come with the North Country coming into town.
Today's podcast gets underway at 4 p.m. Eastern. Click Listen to Without a Peer on the right-hand side of the page to listen live, or click it any time after the broadcast to listen on demand.
Time for our weekly podcast! We go live for the week at 1 pm Eastern today.
We've got a couple of guests returning to the WaP podcast this week. We'll talk to Ed Weaver of the Troy Record and get his insight into the Engineers' play last weekend in their first full ECAC home weekend of the season, and find out the prospects for this weekend at Cornell and Colgate.
Joe Yerdon of NBC Sports' ProHockeyTalk also drops by today. He'll give us a look at some of the top college alums in the NHL and we'll ask his opinion of the way the ECAC has played out so far this season.
And... wow! The women have made it six in a row against Dartmouth and Harvard. Tom breaks down the ladies' home sweep and tries to answer the magic question: never mind getting a win, can the Engineers do what so few teams have done, and even score on the Big Red?
Remember, that's 1 p.m. today for the podcast (click "Listen to Without a Peer" in the upper right hand corner at the appropriate time), but of course, you can check us out at any time on demand, and it's especially easy if you're a subscriber on iTunes - our podcasts will automatically download for you, usually within a few hours.
Last week, we had Cap Carey on as our guest and after the Engineers lost to Clarkson, we started noticing a trend. When we've had beat writers and radio personalities specifically attached to the Engineers' opponents on in the past, they've gone out and lost to them - losing to Carey's Knights, Chip Malafronte's Bulldogs, Brendan Roche's Crimson, and Ken Schott's Dutchmen. Then, I guess, you can throw in Joe Paisley's Tigers, since we tried to have him on but had technical difficulties. Is there a pattern developing? Well, if there is, it's not happening this week, eh? EH?
I digress. Check out what Cap had to say last week on demand below.
It's an all Ed podcast this week! We've moved the podcast to tonight (Thursday, November 18) due to the lack of a men's game this weekend, but there's still plenty to talk about.
The Troy Record's Ed Weaver will join us at the top of the show to discuss the RPI-Union weekend in detail, including the news that broke yesterday that RPI head coach Seth Appert has been suspended by the ECAC for the game against UConn next week due to his comments on Friday in Schenectady. We'll talk about the games, the goals that were, the goals that weren't, and all of the stuff surrounding.
WRPI analyst Ed DerGurahian was on color for both of the Route 7 Rivalry games, and we'll get his reaction to the weekend, as well as get his insight on the women's big game at Yale and big letdown at Brown. We'll also talk about this weekend's home series with Niagara, which he will be on the call for as well.
Click on "Listen to Without A Peer" in the upper right hand corner of the site to listen in. We go live at 8pm tonight.
In addition, WaP editor and podcast host Tom Reale will be on Fox Sports 980 (WOFX-AM, Troy) with the Schenectady Daily Gazette's Ken Schott and WRUC-FM analyst Brian Unger to talk about the fallout from the RPI-Union weekend this morning at 11:05am. You can listen on AM 980 if you're in the Capital District, if not you can check it out here.
Last week on the podcast, we talked to Schott and RPI defenseman Jeff Foss about the weekend series that still has people talking almost a week after it happened. Were their thoughts prescient? Check them out on demand with the player below.
