Re: 2014-2015 Quinnipiac Bobcats: "I hear Boston is nice in April"
I think in the end.....you can throw a blanket over any of these teams and I would not be surprised if any of them won it. Another week of rest will make Harvard even tougher as others have pointed out...for the first time since the beginning of the season they have all their players on the ice. McNally isn't 100% from what I have heard, but to have the best player on your team back....be he 70-80% is still a good thing.
Of all the teams, I think we may be the least experienced. We have certainly over achieved and Gate has had our number this year, although, both of our losses to them were from much earlier in the season.
I really think between the Beanpot and some other match ups that Harvard is probably the most "battle tested." Gate also had some pretty good out of conference experience from earlier in the year as well. Your team doesn't have the "wow" factor (Peca, Anas and Garteig aside), but you've been solid with 4 lines and played well bell to bell. If I had to handicap the race at this point I would pick it in this order......Harvard, Colgate, Quinnipiac and SLU.
This may be old news and don't know if it was posted on this thread but here is a video of one of your recruits. This was posted on the SLU Facebook thread and I thought I'd share it..... http://www.wisn.com/sports/the-jr-admirals-hat-trick/31727924
Given the other choices, it's a good thing. Q, SLU and Gate are all about even. Yale and Union were coming hard. Harvard's a step down from them, and a team with a good offense should kill them.
