Re: 2014-2015 Quinnipiac Bobcats: "I hear Boston is nice in April"
I think you are missing the point. First, the reason I dislike Pecknold is because of this type of behavior and other things I know about him that I have not and will not discuss on a public forum, and second the reason I dislike Q is because of Pecknold and his antics and bull**** over the years. But more to your point, that would never, ever happen between Schafer and Carvel. Schafer has always been close to the SLU coaches and that is still true today. He was front and center when Joe retired as was Bennett, Gilligan, Vaughan and many others. Two coaches in the league in particular are sometimes jerks during the game (Schafer and Gaudet) but great guys off the ice. Pecknold's detractors don't know if he is still a jerk when he is asleep.
I don't argue the language was inappropriate but I am less bothered than that than I am by Pecknold working the refs for a call after a player gets piledriven into the boards who has a history of injuries from the same no less. Further, Schafer got his point across, and it's a point I know many other coaches would like to say and do say privately. Coaches like Jack Parker and Shawn Walsh had their detractors, but I challenge you to find one other D one coach that says they admire and respect him privately. I am pretty sure you would struggle. I understand your resistance to see Rand for what he is, but those of us that do are not going to be taking his side over Schafer's on this one. Schafer and Lowry are sticking up for their teammate the way hockey code teaches hockey guys, Rand was whining for a call because he cares more about winning than the athletes who play the game and didn't want Peca's penalty to lose the game for him.
Schafer just blew his top and said what lots of others have wanted to say for a while and his description is accurate.
