Re: Quinnipiac Bobcats offseason: Redemption in Philadelphia 2014
Anybody know what kind of player Quenneville is? Is he a guy that can step in and possibly play alongside JST and St. Denis?
Sounds like Connor Clifton and Fiala are two guys that can play immediately defensively. Figure the D pairings can look something like Federico/Tolks Barron/Hilbricht and Clifton/Fiara, which certainly could be worse.

I honestly think Clifton could get paired with either Federico or tolks. Would make the defense stronger from top to bottom.
As for Quenneville central scouting has him ranked 192 for north american skaters. I think there is a good chance he could be a top 6 line player from the get go.
Clifton is ranked 73 in central scouting. He is sure to be drafted by an NHL team.

While it's a little early to worry about next season (no it's not... who am I kidding? ), I have a feeling we'll be a better offensive club and a little weaker on defense than we were this year. The increased goal production will negate the few more we'll allow. The only question mark in my mind will be in net. Gartieg is supposed to be the real deal but he saw next to no action this season (though I hear he was a workhorse in practice). Rouleau is supposed to be stout as well, so my guess is a 2-man rotation, at least to begin with.

No love for Jacob Myers already? Word was he was the top NAHL goalie before commiting to QU

I'd like to see a 2 horse race to begin with and if one guy gets into a groove then ride him. I agree the offense will be better next year. Thought I like the Clifton and Fiala additions at the back end and think they can add a lot of skill in the back end. Federico and Tolkinen along with Alex Barron and Hilbrich should be good enough on defense. I think Hilbrich could really break through as a sophomore especially with his size.

Garteig was one of the best goaltenders in 2011-12 in the BCHL. In 2011-12, he was 41-4-0 with a 1.93 GAA and a .927 save percentage with five shut-outs…In 2010-11, he was 36-8-3 with a 1.69 GAA and a .934 save percentage with seven shutouts.

And Pat McGann was a draft pick of the Dallas Stars!
Just a hunch I have, but I don't think Jacob ever starts a game for the Bobcats, even if he did stone Pecknold on a breakaway during Friday's open practice!

I am well aware of Garteig's numbers in the BCHL and am well aware that it very much looks like he is the top dog to replace Hartzell. I just find it interesting that Myers has been so quickly written off by some before even touching the ice.
Side note, he did impress with the save on Rand during the open practice in Pittsburgh...
Re: Quinnipiac Bobcats offseason: Redemption in Philadelphia 2014
As folks know I am extremely selfish, but I felt all should know this today.
At Burt Kahn Court they are doing a silent auction for a frozen four jersey. It looks like it is a St. Denis sweater just without the name plate. It has the puck marks and all with the Frozen Four patch. The bidding is currently at 125 and will end at 12:45 today.
I just picked up a Jennifer Maclean home jersey for 30 bucks ... not a bad deal. Someone just beat me to a Kate Wheeler #18 jersey, and no that is not a joke. Evelina Husar away blue is still available though.
Does anyone have any idea what I am talking about anymore?
