Quinnipiac Bobcats 2020-21 season - Can it get any crazier?

As an example of what BG is talking about, during the NMU at MTU game on Friday, NMU's best player hit a Tech player at the blue line from behind. No penalty was called at the time but the refs at the next stoppage went and looked at it and called a 5-minute major. NMU lost him for the rest of the game and went down in OT.

We have video reviews in the ECAC, too. No problem with video reviews, and no problem with actual hits being penalized. This wasn't a hit. There was no contact, the BGSU player spun away from the hit, and that's why he fell to the ice.

I does not matter if contact was made or not. His elbow was raised up with the intent to hit the opposing player in the head (a very bad move in today's version of hockey). That is all that is needed to call the penalty. Other than the announcers I don't recall seeing a lot of arguments on the ice concerning the call.

It absolutely does matter.

Sorry... you, me, nor anybody else (including the refs), knows what his intent was.

No contact = no penalty.

If you want to penalize "intent", the game would never be played.

I don't know about that. If I raise my stick high over my head with the intent of crashing it down on some player who i'm mad at and just as I swing down the stick breaks and I don't hit him, that is a penalty. So just sayin...

Not in the ECAC... unless you play for Quinnipiac and Chip MacDonald is the ref. ;)
 
Good win, but Bongiovani injury didn’t look good. Hope he’s back soon. Friedman also out last couple. Perhaps Winslow or Clifton gets to dress tomorrow. KP continues to look good, Smilanic is the real deal and Tufto was very Tufto like. Great to see Lee back and playing well. Early game tomorrow in Springfield. Then 18 games against 3 teams the rest of the way.
 
After catching the replay I can’t disagree with the Brind’amour 5 min plus game. 2 cross checks, second was to the head. I do think the tripping causing the injury also deserved a 5 min. If I were AIC today I’d be making sure I was skating with my head up, especially when OC is on the Ice.

I wonder if TJ is ready to return or if we see Winslow or Clifton suit up today. It would be nice to see them get a big lead and rest a few guys. Long road trip for the Home and Home this weekend.

From the rule book:
lbowing penalties may be assessed as minor, major, game misconduct or disqualification penalties, even though physical contact with an opponent may not have occurred. (Example: Excessive roughness.)
 
After the first period, not a terrible effort from the boys. The SLU goalie was a brick wall, especially during that string of PP's we had. Could have easily been a 5-2 win, but the goalie stole a point for SLU. You feel a lot better about it after the shootout win.
 
The low camera was a little rough and the St. Lawrence announcer was so-so. He had no idea about the 3 on 3 OT.

Odeen is really playing well.

Any word on how long Bonjo will be out? I saw one article where Rand said he'll be out for "a bit". But nothing specific.

All I heard on Bonjo was probably the same interview from Rand where he hoped not a month or two or the entire season. TJ has also not been on the ice for a few games , nor has Rasanen. Metsa also went down last game and hobbled off the ice. Not sure if he returned before the end of the game. They are definitely a bit banged up. Hopefully they can get by St Lawrence Sunday. Clarkson in next week for 3. They need to get 2 of those I would think.

Rand has never disclosed details on any injuries so we may never know until they're back on the ice. With nobody on campus there's even less chance of someone knowing someone who knows something that might make it back here.

The team seems to be gelling together a little more each game. If KP stays on his game and nobody else goes down they should be fine.
 
any impressions on Metsa? undersized dman with great stats this season - thats what eliteprospects tells. but does he have grit? defense?
