The homestanding RPI Men's hockey team tied Princeton and lost to Yale this weekend. As a result of this weekend's games, Rensselaer remains in 11th place, trailing everyone but Princeton.

The most interesting development of the weekend, from the perspective of reading the USCHO.com recaps, was what Yale coach Tim Taylor said after the game on Saturday night:

I don't know how many games RPI has won, but that's the best 11th-place team I have ever seen. They skate well, play hard and it will be an interesting playoff situation.

This season's team is a nice looking group of young men who are obviously struggling. They've had some tough breaks. Hearing Taylor's comments might make the weekend a little less painful for them. But, only a little. Above all, they need to win.
