Re: #1 Quinnipiac University vs. #13 St. Cloud State- Frozen Four Semifinal #2 4/11
Hopefully QU can get through this game
without the Union goon squad doing any more damage
In the ECAC this year
Quinnipiac lead all teams in penalty minutes. Brown, a big strong and very very physical team pounded the "stuffing" out of Quinnipiac in all three of their games this year, tied them twice and beat them once 4-0. Quinnipiac never beat Brown. Brown also had a great goalie. I think the lesson here is that if St. Cloud wants to beat Quinnipiac they will need to do what Brown did and play very physical "smash mouth" hockey. Brown played very tough, clean, physical hockey all year and gained the respect of everyone in the ECAC and as you can see, did so with the least number of penalty minutes.
