Quinnipiac Bobcats '12-'13 - Go fourth and conquer!

Re: Quinnipiac Bobcats '12-'13 - Go fourth and conquer!

St. Cloud St. beats Minnesota, 4-3.

Is Quinnipiac the new No. 1 team in the country? You'd think they have to be!
 
Re: Quinnipiac Bobcats '12-'13 - Go fourth and conquer!

Qpac should get its number one ranking not that it means much. About what record needed in the last six to lock up an NCAA birth no matter what happens in the playoffs? I know some people around here have dealt with the PWR long enough to ballpark it.
 
Re: Quinnipiac Bobcats '12-'13 - Go fourth and conquer!

Good luck Monday Q. It would be a big point for them to get a #1 ranking. I would expect them to also carry the #1 into the NCAAs if they keep playing like they must be (I have not seen them). Then win your region and shut up everyone on the board. :)

You gotta understand -- we realize it means absolutely nothing. But, it's never been done before. It's a very exciting thing to be in line for something that's never before been done for any program at Quinnipiac.

The whining by bloggers is still massively annoying. Sorry.

And it's silly. I get that. Put yourself in our shoes -- you'd be the exact same way. Quinnipiac's been D-1 for 15 years -- and they're flirting with getting a No. 1 ranking in the polls. We understand we're being silly, but our silliness is not without merit.

Stopping in to ask a question about JST and how he's been playing at QU, I haven't seen you guys play this year but you guys are having a great season and hoping for continued success.

JST led BG in scoring the 2 years he was on the team but was probably the most hated player as well, he played with no effort or heart refused to play defense and spent most of the game standing on the Red Line or the opposing blue line beaver tapping his stick against the ice. This led to some healthy scratches and poor team chemistry which in turn led to the transfer. Is he playing any different for QU, he also always seemed a couple steps slow playing in the CCHA, amazing hands but just not quick enough up and down the ice, might be due to poor effort.

Thanks.

QU student here. Watched every QU home game and followed every game home or away. JST got off to a really slow start and was kinda disappointing at first, but he is starting to live up to the hype. He's come on strong lately, and has scored several clutch goals throughout the year. Initially we all thought we were going to be disappointed by him, but he has proven to be very valuable.

He has improved as the season rolls on but has shown some of these tendancies along the way. Not engaging on defense was obvious early but that has improved. His strength has been down low around the net. On the down side he can be selfish with the puck at times.

amazing hands but just not quick enough up and down the ice
His one-handed stick handling is better than many guys using two. That said, there's been too many times when he's tried to do it alone. He's fun to watch when he digs the puck out behind the net and works it out around front. In fact that's how most of his goals have been scored. And he's got a heck of a snipe.

It appears that he's accepted his role here. He's part of a much bigger system and doesn't need to carry this team. While not as potent as I thought he was going to be, I think his 2 years here will be productive ones.

Can't wait for Friday. The Bank will be jumping for the #1 team in the country. See you all there.

I have never said it doesn't mean anything. I think it does. It is not a national championship but neither are things like sweeping a rival on the road, having players named all-americans, making the NCAA tournament, etc. Getting a national group of voters that are notorious for east/west bias to name your team #1 in the country is an accomplishment, especially the first time.

Ignore the haters and cheer for the Bobcats to keep in Qu1nn1ng.
 
Re: Quinnipiac Bobcats '12-'13 - Go fourth and conquer!

You could also potentially clinch the regular season title on Friday night as well correct?

If Yale loses to Brown on Tuesday, then the Bobcats could clinch on Friday with a win (or another Yale loss). If Yale wins on both Tuesday and Friday, then Saturday would be the earliest that Quinnipiac could clinch.

See this is what I thought too, from looking at the standings and the remaining games.

It's not the excitement that has been annoying. It's the whining and the conspiracy theories in the blogs, on twitter, and on message boards every week QU hasn't been ranked #1.

If you guys are excited about being ranked #1, I have no qualms with that and certainly understand. But to get as worked up as some people have about an essentially worthless ranking became increasingly more and more annoying.

Anyways, I'm sure QU will be #1 this week. Congrats and enjoy.
