Re: Merrimack 2014-2015: Anyone?
Made the trip down to QU last night (great rink up on the beautiful new campus). Terrific "team" win as MCgrad07 stated. Outstanding defensive effort staring with the forwards. They never let a very fast, very skilled QU team get a clean breakout. Defense did a very good job of keeping their forwards to the outside, and Delia was solid. Seney is a blast to watch. Tons of speed!
I did get a taste of why so many ECAC followers are not fans of QU coach Pecknold. Commented in his post game that he thought MC's approach to the game, holding, hooking, slashing was (to paraphrase) "...not good for the game". Hey Rand, you do realize that your alter boy Bobcats are 7th in the nation in penalty minutes per game? Wow, that must mean a lot of "delay of game", "too many men on the ice" or "interference" calls. He intimated that MC's style of play had knocked his goalie out of the game, and caused an injury to one of his best d-men last night. Well if going "balls to the wall" is the WRONG way to play, somebody better let Dennehey know, cuz that's the way his guys play.
