That is over 2 years since this has happened.

I realize there's still a lot of season left so maybe it's just time to sit back, take a deep breath, and enjoy the holiday season. This too shall pass.
Garteig looked shaky all weekend. Maybe he, and the rest of the team, are mortal after all?
Is that why it hurts more? I know we've been spoiled by the success of this team, but I just hate losing games that we could have won if we played our way. Maybe it's fatigue, maybe it's the fact that other teams are figuring us out. Whatever it is, it's painful simply because of how good we've been.

1-2-2 in our last 5 games. The break couldn't come at a better time. Garteig was pretty average for 4 out of the last 5 games. He really needs to rebound the in the 2nd half of the season. I can't take anymore 5 goal disaster games. Hartzell did not have any games last year when he gave up 5 goals. Both the defense and Garteig need to step up and play better because they have given away 2 wins against Princeton and Providence so far this year and the beginning of the RPI game.

Or maybe the team is just slumping. It happens to every team. The fact this team hasn't had a slump like this is over two years is **** remarkable. But it's a slump. The holiday break comes at the exact right time. Hopefully the practice time will help break the bad habits and get them back on track.

Union fan's thoughts. Don't worry, this team will be fine and make a deep run. Extremely young teams hit speed bumps but in the long run benefit from the challenge. Last night it was our first years' turn to shine, but just visualize what yours will be in months and years to come.

But you're probably right. It's a slump, and the break will definitely help.
I am confident they can right the ship and get back on track. And the future does look extremely bright in Hamden.
No need make sense out if it for me Seth. I was wallowing in my misery quite nicely.

Thanks Who! We've all been here at one point or another... doesn't mean we have to like it though.

Pretty bummed with the weekend. I didn't get to catch any of the RPI game and I was at UNH for last night's game. Great game between BC and UNH ... I was really impressed with how BC played despite so few shots on goal. I was talking to a few other people there last night and everyone mentioned how good QU has looked this year, which I thought was kinda odd, because I think they should be playing better (I think we all do). Yeah, they are in a good spot and this is something I would have been excited about two years ago, but after last year a weekend like this past one just bums me out. You can't take four or even three points out of every weekend, but anything less is a disappointment for me --- Which I think is a good thing for Bobcats fans. It shows that we won't be happy until they raise a real banner in that building. Happy Holidays!

As I think about it, in the 7 short years I've been following the Bobcats, we've never had a losing season, have had 2 trips to the league championship weekend, and played for a national title a mere 7 months ago. There are several teams out there that would love that kind of record.
They are in a very good spot...
After last year, it's nice that people are noticing us. Of course, that's part of the problem because if we don't do well then the naysayers will label us as one-hit wonders.
Funny how this works, huh?
You guys that know me know that I want that real banner as bad as anyone. However, I think I'd trade that to have a perennial contender that gets recognition on the national stage.

If anything every Bobcats fan should be happy as hell considering this is a rebuilding year.
After losing all those seniors I expected QU to be "middle of the pack".

And there are STILL Pecknold haters out there?!

There will be a scoring change in Quinnipiac's second goal of the game against Union. Originally the goal was Peca's but the scoring change is now Michael Garteig's goal yes Michael Garteig as he was the last one to touch the puck.

As Z said above, they're in a slump. We have a lot of games left to see where the chips will fall.

I think that's the paradox... "middle of the pack" after being "top of the heap" is tough to accept.

Or you're just late to the party. You can always blame the time difference!
Re: 2013-14 Quinnipiac Bobcats: New season, new scoreboards, new chance at redemption
I see the Pieper boys woke up while the Renouf twins had a quiet weekend. These twins are a blast to watch.
Human buzz saws every shift. They seem to play every shift like it's the last they will ever play. Their twin brother
radar is just as in tune as the Jones if not more so.

That's exactly what it was. Sat down at the PC this morning to gather the stats and someone beat me too it.Or you're just late to the party. You can always blame the time difference!

With a one point weekend we drop 1 spot in the USCHO.com poll to 7th.

We took a much bigger hit in the RPI, falling to 8th.
Make that 2 spots... we were 5th last week. Consider it an early Christmas present because I thought for sure we'd drop further. We may fall more before play resumes as other teams around us still have games.

Just can't resist. Hating the coach has nothing to do with winning. If he's a "dullard" he can still win. That doesn't make him any less of a coach. Likeability and success are two different things. We just don't like him. The couple of times I met him he had the social skills of a 6 year old. Heck, in college, his own team mates wanted him off the team! What does that say about him?

I watched him interacting with other coaches and scouts at the BCJHL Showcase. Looked to me like he was on very friendly terms with them. He seemed perfectly normal to me.
