Quinnipiac Bobcats 2020-21 season - Can it get any crazier?

[MarkEagleUSA]

Odeen Tufto is absolutely ridiculous. The guy is just on another planet.

A true diamond in the rough. Also didnt realize he's the first to lead team in scoring all four years. Just impressive to see what he has done as a Bobcat.

NOTHING to gain...potentially EVERYTHING to lose. These kind of games are tough. Hard to beat a team 11 straight times in one season.

Can I just say that I think it's hilarious that in the QU ESPN+ games, we're airing a commercial for ECAC Hockey that's at least 7 years old? Coaches that are no longer in the league, players that have long since gone to the NHL (Jimmy Vesey!), the old league twitter account ...

Is it that hard to make a new commercial?

Yesterday was a very tough loss. Colgate came to play and we weren't at our best. Hopefully they can use the defeat as motivation for the 18th. In a one and done anything can happen but I think we clearly have the advantage assuming we're ready to play. The key is to stay focused on the ultimate goal.

One shift, one period, one game...

CHN has Q as a lock for an at-large bid at this point in their tournament prediction as a 2 seed and play BU 3 seed in Bridgeport. I believe if we win semifinal and lose in the final, two ECAC teams get in. We may drop to a 3 seed but doesn’t matter much since #2 plays #3 at a neutral site. It’s nice to see balanced scoring but if Smilanic is out it will be tough to beat top teams like BU and BC. Bonjo is not going to have an impact if he comes back in next two weeks since he’s been out 3 months.

I didn't see any injury to smilanic and he played to end of second period. Do we know why he wasn't out for the third?

[MarkEagleUSA]

Had to be an injury or illness.

Interesting turn of events going into the ECAC post-season. At first I was sympathetic with Clarkson ending their season. Then I heard the reason... no sympathy warranted. I hope they had a great time at their end-of-season party. So close, and yet so far.

That leaves just 3 teams to decide it. We get a bye into the championship game, facing the winner of the sole semifinal between Colgate and St Lawrence. To be honest, it won't be easy no matter who we face. I do think, however, that if we bring our A game and put in a full 60 minute effort, we can claim the Whitelaw Cup, even if it does carry an asterisk in this crazy season.

Seems we're a lock for the NCAA's regardless, but winning is better than losing!

Go Q!

College kids. LOL. Hope the beer was worth it.

Championship game day! Not nearly as meaningful in this crazy season but still a very important game. SLU is not going to roll over for us and we'll need to play our best or better. If nothing else, it will serve as a good tune-up for the tourney.

One shift, one period, one game.

Go Q!

Zetterquist is the real deal. The boys need to get up early and don't even give Stlaw a sniff of pulling off an upset. Fun days ahead!!

Toughest lost since Yale NCAA final. Proves the statements “ any given night” “games not played on paper”. They better hope teams above them win their conference tournaments but doubt that’s gonna happen. Can’t afford to have another “underdog” team win their conference like UMass-Lowell and Northern Michigan...both solid programs so it wouldn’t be surprise. I wonder what this loss will do to their Pairwise ranking (even though they claim not to be using this “as much” as a normal season. They got Bonjo back, who looked sharp, and Smilanic who left injured last game. If they get an at-large bid they can beat anybody.. and can lose to anybody due to parity in college hockey these days. Just got get a chance!

I mean this with no disrespect to you fans but after working in Healthcare and all that I've have been through in the past year plus, I needed this boost. We're ECAC champs! These are crazy times.

Congrats! You were the better team tonight and took advantage of your opportunities. Good luck in the Big Dance.

Classic case of a team who has to win against a team that wants to win. We did not have the level of intensity required to end a team's season. Good news is that next time, we should have that intensity. Really disappointing performance.
