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

Game day in Providence against the Friars. I'm hoping to make the trip but it's not confirmed yet... will probably know for sure around noon.

Not sure what kind of team PC is but we're currently on a roll. My only concern is fatigue after a long weekend roadtrip with a 2-day turnaround. If they play with the same intensity they showed over the past 2 weekends they should be fine. Bobcats 5-3.

The Q on a five game winning streak? Sniff, sniff. I smell an investigation. :eek:

Dominated PC with that tough defense tonight....reffing was not solid tonight at all...not the reason PC lost but just a poorly officiated game all around.

Offensively we were a little sluggish but, boy, that defense, especially in the 2nd, was stifling

Having been on the other side more often than I care to acknowledge, I can sympathize with you. It's unusual for the road team to get the better treatment in an OoC game. On the other hand, we were much more disciplined as a team... very little retaliation which helped our cause a great deal.

While not their best effort, they did what needed to be done and got a very strong outing from Hartzell. I think Connor Jones missed the ice while he injured... he's been a man on a mission over the last 3 games. Overall a good solid effort on the road.

Our radio guys pointed out an interesting fact during the post game. PC dressed 9 freshmen while we put out 9 seniors. I'd say experience won out tonight but the future looks good for the Friars.

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone. After the turkey is gone, it's back to hockey in Amherst against the Minutemen of UMass.

Alright Mister College Hockey Genius, Just consider this: Any more of this five game winning streak garbage and your beloved Bob Katz won't be able to clinch their customary "away" ice for the opening round of the playoffs. Yeah, I thought that would worry you big time. :D

Better get a long nap this afternoon so you'll have the necessary energy to eat your way into a food induced coma tomorrow. Happy Thanksgiving!
 
Re: Quinnipiac Bobcats '12-'13 - Go fourth and conquer!

Hello all, congrats to the Bobcats on the Providence win, especially the penalty kill. (#3 in the country 50/53) Luke, I like the ECAC Power Rankings wk. #3, which is led by QU,(5 votes)followed closely by Union and Dartmouth. It seems that the ECAC is stronger this year than in previous years, does anyone agree? 5 ranked teams and 3 receiving votes. Many of the top point scorers come from the ECAC this year. Brian Sullivan calls the ECAC strong against non-conference teams- unlike other years. I hope it continues. Maybe Yale can represent against those powerhouses out west. Over the past 5-6 years QU has always had one very good line- fast and good firepower, but this year they are deep, with three lines that can play with any team in the league. Hopefully, our two peroid games are behind us.
Mark, my wife and I will be giong to the QU/ U-Mass game Sat. I don't know where we will sit, Michael Pereira's (U-Mass) parents left us tickets at will call. I will look for you and Luke at the game. Mike is feeling much better, and I hope he has a good game,as long QU wins. (We are long time family friends from West Haven) See you Sat. Happy Thanksgiving to all. Jim

I'm not sure Luke will be making the trip... he's still waiting to become a dad and doesn't want to be too far from home. I'm definitely going and will probably be joined by my wife and a special guest: my daughter flew home for the weekend to suprise us and wants to come to the game. However she is going to the UNH football game so timing might not be in her favor. I'll keep an eye out for you.
 
Re: Quinnipiac Bobcats '12-'13 - Go fourth and conquer!

Tonight in Amherst we take on a UMass team with only 4 wins: UConn, Providence, Vermont, and an OT win against New Hampshire. Their 5 losses came at the hands of BU (2), BC (2), and UML, and they tied Maine. They appear to be a battle-tested Hockey East squad. This should be another good test for us but we'll need to come out swinging. If we sputter like we did in the first against Providence we could be in for a long night. Hopefully the momentum of our 5-game win streak wasn't dampened by the short holiday layoff. I like our chances and will take the Bobcats 4-1.

Go Q!

Bad news about tonight Mark... I'll be there with my friends, so QU will undoubtedly lay an egg. I apologize in advance. I'll make sure to drop by to say hi though.

Assuming you made it, I'm sorry I missed you.

It wasn't a great effort by either team tonight. While the Bobcats seemed to come out strong and even scored within the first 5 minutes, they were flat for most of the first 2 periods. Luckily so was UMass. We came alive after tying the game in the 3rd but only got a couple of really good looks at the net that were stoned by Boyle.

All in all, I'll take the tie on the road as it's better than a loss, but this is one we should have been able to win. Thanksgiving break is over and they have a full week to get ready for the trip to the capital district next weekend.
 
Re: Quinnipiac Bobcats '12-'13 - Go fourth and conquer!

Thx for being at UMass and PC Bobcat Fans. Pretty good three weeks for the Bobcats (5-0-1).

We did make it. We were on the home side of the ice in the corner QU shot at in the 1st and 3rd periods. Despite the tie, we had fun. I was mentally prepared for a loss but I'll take a tie and 3 points over thanksgiving week.

Hopefully will make it to a few more games this year... Especially if QU keeps winning since it's easier to convince my fellow QU alum friends to go when the team is winning. Some things never change.

Sorry... I really thought I had replied to this the other day... I guess my CRAFT is acting up again!

You were across from us then. We sat in section L in the corner on the visitor's side where Q shot at twice. You were over by the student section (all 4 of them)?

Neither team looked particularly energized so I'll take the tie and the 3-pt week as well.

Friday against Union will be a huge test for this team, and, to be honest, Saturday's game against RPI will be just as critical. Are we going to see you at the Bank at all this season?
 
Re: Quinnipiac Bobcats '12-'13 - Go fourth and conquer!

Big test tonight against the Dutchmen. Union has become a solid contender and will play us tough. The boys just need to hunker down, stick to the fundamentals, and play their game. I think it will be a close, hard fought battle. QU 3-2.

Go Q!

Going to do my best to make it to at least one Hamden game. Hopefully one of the Saturday games in the second half of the season.
