Makes sense.
Schaefer heard Rand was headed to HE and wanted to chase him into hell.
Makes sense.

Re: ECAC 2015-2016 Season Thread
Another sluggish start, but after the first 10-15 minutes, they've done as they have most of this season.
Going to be a heavyweight Frozen Four this year, with the usual suspects and top teams this year. Should be fun.

Re: ECAC 2015-2016 Season Thread
Remember in the FF when Bennett was asked: "How does it feel to be playing with the Big Boys?" like we didn't belong. The same thing will happen to Quinnipiac. It will take the press two weeks to figure out how to spell Quinnipiac.
Quinnipiac outshot UML 35-15 and UML only got 4 shots in period 2 and 5 shots in period 3.
It a good thing that QU got all that experience playing in that weak ECAC league.

Not trying to "rub it in" because I have a huge amount of respect for UML and the success of their program. In 2012 when Union was in the second round of the regionals it faced UML and their fans showed up in mass. You can hear their loud chant "EZAC" in the background on the video.

Which screams top heavy for the HE. ECAC is the more deeper and balanced conference of the 2 even if there are more high end teams in HE.

Re: ECAC 2015-2016 Season Thread
The ECAC as a league is a strong defensive league and a league where you have to battle every night. QU has benefitted from the style of play that they face in the league and they can shut down a team with a flashy top line and little physical presence. I think the NCHC teams are the strongest in the FF but QU can probably give either of them a run for their money. (As much as I hate seeing QU win, they are a good team.)

Yale Hockey Proves Ivy Schools Can Compete In D1 Sports
http://www.forbes.com/sites/alisong...chools-can-compete-in-d1-sports/#50b8314b5234
With both Quinnipiac and Yale looking to claim their first national title, this game is a big deal for their athletic programs. But it may be an even bigger deal for the East Coast Athletic Conference they compete in, and for sports at large in the Ivy League.

Re: ECAC 2015-2016 Season Thread
Quinnipiac loves playing in the ECAC Hockey League which is the best league in the country academically and athletically. QU is not interested in joining HE. We will be your league brethren for many years to come. Go Bobcats and go ECAC Hockey!!

Re: ECAC 2015-2016 Season Thread
UML is a defensive team first and foremost. They don't generate a lot of offense. Let's see how the Bobcats fare against BC, Denver or North Dakota. Those teams are lightening quick in transition and their speed is something Quinnipiac does not see very often in the ECAC.

GREAT WRITEUP - YAHOO SPORTS !!!
BC & York slammed for supporting Big10 proposal and Yahoo's favorite to win it all ... QU !!! Applauds to North Dakota and Denver for opposing the rule despite it being advantageous to them.
NCAA Hockey 101: Familiar Frozen Four field just fine
http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nhl-p...ar-frozen-four-field-just-fine-215855708.html
"There's more parity in college hockey these days than there probably ever has been. Nontraditional powers like Providence, Union, Yale and Minnesota-Duluth have all won their first national titles since 2011. Teams like Quinnipiac and UMass Lowell regularly make it to regional finals and beyond."
"This is part of the reason why the traditional powers in the Big Ten are so scared of 21-year-old freshmen: The playing field is more level than it ever has been, and it's eating into the perceived success of the more established, multiple-time national champions. Minnesota didn't make the tournament this year. Wisconsin is a disaster. Michigan hasn't been actually good for years. Et cetera."
"If that's what the credentials you need to be accepted as “new blood” around here are these days, then I guess the sport is setting an absurdly high bar. But hey, Quinnipiac doesn't have a title yet, so we get to be hopeful about it or something. It would certainly be better than seeing one of the sport's old-money teams get another title to throw on the big pile in the basement.
The other power schools support the legislation only because it helps them knock down the upstarts like Quinnipiac, who have infringed upon the old boys club in recent years.
Once again, one has to believe that the ability of non-traditional powers to level the playing field and more-than-occasionally make it to the Frozen Four by taking older recruits is generally good for the sport. It is of course not good for BC, North Dakota, and Denver, necessarily. But at least, the latter two teams have seen their coaches come out and repudiate the rule proposal, saying it would be bad for the game. Jerry York, of course, knows from whence the butter for his bread comes and supports the rule because it likely means fewer losses to Lowell, Northeastern, Providence, and so on.
Of course, if I were picking a favorite for the national title right now, I'd probably have to say it's Quinnipiac.
