Prospect Info: Jason Kasdorf (2015 via trade) – '15-16: RPI #33 (NCAA)

[Dex]

Was definitley the most impressive goalie, then again he was on the better team. (Imo better team but it seemed pretty obvious throughout the game blue was better) And like you said, no Lieuwn Ullmark or Makarov who are all at least decent prospects. Definitely liked what I saw from Kasdorf more than Johannsen or Pettersen though, and there is something to be said there. Murray is building a nice little group of goalie prospects where more than likely one of them will pan out to be a solid pro tendy

To give credit where credit is due - Lieuwen, Ullmark, and Peterson were drafted by Darcy. Makarov was undrafted and signed by Darcy.

Getting to know Jason Kasdorf

He was a goalie prospect considered by many to be the proverbial "thrown-in" part of the February 11, 2015 blockbuster trade between the Winnipeg Jets and Buffalo Sabres, although it's hard to believe that a meticulous GM like the Sabres Tim Murray would simply point to a name on a roster and say, "Meh, throw him in as well."

Nice piece. He certainly is an under the radar guy, and even more so because of what else was involved in that trade, so it's nice to get some background on him. And as stated in the beginning of the article; no, it's not likely that Murray just randomly picked a name and said "throw him in too". Most of us think trading for Lehner was overpayment and Kasdorf more of a headscratch. Time will tell if Murray has an eye for goalies. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt.

And you'll share that intel with us, won't you? Sharing is caring!

winnepeg has some grade A goalie prospects ahead of him, i'm sure Murray tried to extract one them in the trade which is probably how Kasdorf's name came up as an alternative. At the end of the day, Murray would have pulled the trigger without him in the trade, but 'peg didnt bat an eye at including him either. He was a throw-in but it doesnt mean he's worthless either.

I went to RPI once and there was a convention at the college and people were dressed up like hobbits. Some dude threw a ketchup covered French fry at a group of Harry Potter kids, screamed "bit by a vampire", and ran off down one of the big ass hills at that school. I decided it was a silly place.

Kasdorf stopped all twelve shots he faced in the first two periods of exhibition action vs STU. His backup then proceeded to allow three goals on 11 shots, as RPI lost 3-2 in OT.

 

[Woodhouse]

In RPI's 3-0 loss to UMass-Lowell on Friday, Kasdorf stopped 35/38 .. nothing to hang his head about on the GA either, as you'll see in the included highlights that those were off a multiple-chance rebound, deflected wraparound, and cross-ice one-timer:

Another 35+ save performance from Kasdorf this afternoon .. a very solid outing in RPI's 2-1 win over BC and finished with 36 saves .. BC's goal came on a third period PP and beat Kasdorf five-hole, as he was caught in-between respecting the cross-crease pass to Bracco that Sanford looks to have heeled five-hole .. improves to 1-1-0, 2.00 GAA, 0.947 SV% .. here's the full game archive via RPI TV: https://youtu.be/eCyddxZcyRc

Chippy game between RPI & Clarkson, with Kasdorf getting run several times, and leaving early in the third period with a LBI.

At first, I read the tweet as "RIP coach Seth Appert" and thought "wow, that game got out of hand!"

Cluck Farkson. Hope it's not serious.

The game was controversial as Clarkson’s Jeff DiNallo collided with RPI goalie Jason Kasdorf at 7 minutes, 5 seconds of the third period. Kasdorf tried to stay in the game, protecting a 2-1 lead, but 54 seconds after play resumed he skated to the bench and had to come out. DiNallo was also injured on the play, lying on the ice clutching his knee and barely making it back to the bench with assistance.

He later returned to the game.

“It was a flat-out, dirty play,” RPI coach Seth Appert said. “The league needs to look at it. It was as dirty of a play as there is. It’s the third game in a row that the league has allowed a goalie to get run, without calls. He ran him, as hard as he could.”

Kasdorf had frustrated Clarkson (5-1-1 overall, 0-0-1 conference) throughout the game, stopping 28 of 29 shots, including several good scoring chances. His replacement, Cam Hackett, made his NCAA debut when he entered the game and stopped 10 shots in 17:01.

Not sure what the latest timetable is on Kasdorf's injury, but as this article reminds us, he has been through this kind of adversity before, and he is definitely not short on determination: http://alongtheboards.com/2015/11/rpis-jason-kasdorf-looks-to-finish-college-career-on-a-high-note/

 

[Woodhouse]

Kasdorf is "50-50" to play this weekend per: http://www.uscho.com/2015/11/11/rensselaer-has-plenty-to-prove-to-itself-this-season-appert-says/

The Engineers had a good weekend at Clarkson and St. Lawrence despite being without their top two centers in Miloš Bubela and Evan Tironese, and goalie Jason Kasdorf, who left the game against the Golden Knights after being run into by forward Jeff DiNallo in what Appert called “a pretty dirty play.†(Video of the play is available here, starting at the 2:15 mark).

DiNallo was suspended for Clarkson’s ensuing game as a result of the hit, while Appert said Kasdorf and Bubela were “50-50″ for this weekend and Tironese is still out. Appert added that he and his staff will make decisions for this weekend that are the best for the team in the long term.

 

[Jim Carr's Rug]

Wow, that is a dirty highlight package there.

 

[Push Dr Tracksuit]

Clarkson is a scum hole, granted RPI is a hole but just a hole and that has to count for something, but looking at the season he's been having... mighty interested in how this kid finishes the season

 

[Jim Bob]

There is a reason we call them RIP
