Re: Quinnipiac Bobcats '12-'13 - Go fourth and conquer!
What was with all the penalty minutes?? What went on Mark?
Referees were absolutely atrocious. That Baker guy is a joke.
As for the game, I said it to a couple people during the long PK to open the third, "if they kill this off they'll win." You could tell, as soon as the period began, the Bobcats were ****ed off on the bench. From my seat in the corner, you could hear them on the bench going crazy for every clear. Everyone was standing up, the Union bench was sitting down. The entire feeling in that building changed when we killed that thing off. Just tremendous work.
Really like how they simplified things in the third. They did a much, much better job of funneling to the net. Pucks and bodies, everything was just going right to the net. That's how they got the last two goals, rebound goals that Grosenick couldn't control. Really good work on those goals. Hard-work, gritty goals.
One more thing -- the TDBSC is becoming a hockey building. I've never heard boos for officials like that at a Quinnipiac hockey game. And, the fans were cheering every clear on the PK, oohing and aahing near-misses... when I graduated in 2008, you never heard any of that, especially from the non-students. Really impressed with how hockey-savvy our crowd has become. Not to mention, the raucous cheering during goals -- I've never heard anything from that when students aren't there.
Finally, really good to see everyone there today. Luke, Mark, everyone. Had a blast at the game. This team is for real.
