Re: Quinnipiac Bobcats 2016-17 - It's 873 miles to Chicago...
That's an awful, awful loss.
I thought QU looked pretty good in the first two periods. Maine did not seem to have an answer for our speed, they just don't have that kind of foot speed. They made some good adjustments to keep us from gaining clean zone entries in the third, and we never figured out the answer. Defensively, that was as bad as it gets for the final 25 minutes.
Very disappointing loss -- you can't lose up 2-0 after two, and up 3-1 with 10 minutes left, or whatever it was. That game has to be locked down. It's early, and they'll get better as the year goes on, but that's a really disappointing loss to a team that, frankly, has no business beating us. All due respect to them -- they've got some high-end kids (Vesey's a draft pick and his brother's in the NHL, for example), but they don't have the depth to stick with the Bobcats.
The good news is that we continue to see glimpses of what's going to make this team tick this year. They've got the talent to have another great season, but they're still figuring things out. Better now than in March. These are the growing pains you get with a young team.
