Between the Pipes with Keith Kinkaid - December 9th, 2010

This is our second edition of 'Between the Pipes with Keith Kinkaid'. Keith is currently ranked in the top ten in division 1 goaltending statistics with a save percentage of .923 through 671 minutes of play. He has also coming off a season high performance of 35 saves this past Sunday at Yale.


Do you enjoy playing on the road in front of hostile fans? Was there any chant or trash talk you heard from this past weekend that made you laugh?


I don't mind the hostile fans. It's actually funny to me, and not a distraction at all. In fact, it makes me want to play better to silence them. The fans at Yale were pretty rowdy, which was exciting. I found it humorous that they used my first name instead of my last name during their chants. At Brown, I did not hear them, but I was told Grosenick got most of the chirps from the fans which was very funny.


Let's talk about the Brown game - After allowing two early goals, how did you deal with the pressure that had probably amounted? In general, do you feel like you play better under pressure?


Brown was an unusual game. It was the first game we had not scored first all season so we had to be the team to come back first in the game. The boys responded really well throughout the whole game and especially in the second period and when Brown tied up the score at three. I did feel a little pressure knowing Brown had tied some big name schools but I do feel like the more pressure there is, the more I am on top of my game.


Lets talk about the Yale game - We know the outcome wasn't exactly what we had hoped for, but many players say that failure brings success. What have you taken from such a loss? In what areas do you hope to sharpen as you enter this weekend's games?


Nobody wants to relive the Yale game. It's behind us now and we have had a great week of practice. It shows character responding well after a loss like last Sunday. We are looking forward to two great games this weekend. We went over our flaws on video and adjusted them this week in practice, and I believe it will help us with these upcoming games.


What are your expectations heading into this weekend's games against AIC and Army? What is your take on these non-league opponents?


Our expectations are always to get the two points out of each game. Anything less is unacceptable. AIC and Army are two hard working teams and we can not overlook them. Like I said, we have practiced really hard this week and look forward to succeeding in both games this weekend.


If Barry Melrose invited you to spend a romantic evening with him, would you accept?


Well I'm not sure how to answer that one. I hope it wouldn't be romantic. If it were a regular, non-romantic dinner, then yeah, why not? He's paying, right? *Laughs*


Well I guess I'll leave it to the imagination of you all to picture how that night ends. Please leave your reviews in the comment box below. And remember fans, you can find Keith Kinkaid on facebook at any time during the day.
