St. Cloud @ Quinnipiac Jan 15th and 16th: Are we playing the Gophers yet?

Re: St. Cloud @ Quinnipiac Jan 15th and 16th: Are we playing the Gophers yet?

Most were borderline IMO. Personally, if we were playing a league game I don't think they would have been called. At one point last night we commented about the refs making sure everyone knew who was wearing the stripes.

The CTTH calls were borderline, but I wont get too ridiculous about those. The tripping call was absolutely phantom. Just a brutal, brutal call. The kids collided incidentally while skating past each other, there was not a trip in that play.
 
Re: St. Cloud @ Quinnipiac Jan 15th and 16th: Are we playing the Gophers yet?

You're saying this like you expect the refs to call a game in the favor of their conference rather than the rules on the books. Were the penalties assessed warranted or baseless?

I was saying it in the context that "I wish the ECAC refs were more homers" but last night at the start it was like they went out of their way to call things very tightly and against Q Pac.

On the other thread (Quinnipiac thread) I commented about how when we (SLU) travel out of conference the referee's DO favor the home team/conference. Ever played a game at Yost??? I'm sure if you have you'll know what kind of home cooking I'm talking about. I have seen those CCHA refs take games away from visiting out of conference teams.

In summary I lament the fact our refs A. Really aren't all that good...and, B. Don't give us the benefit of the doubt on borderline calls. As for blatant favoritism....see my CCHA comment above.

I think the SCSU radio guy, Don Lyons, also called that trip a "brutal call." He did think the hits to the head calls were legit, and the Huskies also took one of those.

In the second and third periods, it sounded pretty even.

From the report in the St. Cloud paper from Tom Reale, both your captain and your coach said that Q Pack took too many "stupid" penalties, and that led to the 15-4 shot advantage for the Huskies in the first period, and the 1-0 lead.

You will see our other goalie (they rotate). He is Mike Lee, a freshman. You may have seen/heard about him before--he was 4-0 in the recent World Junior championships when the USA defeated Canada for the gold medal.

Yes, Hepp sometimes gets a little upset. But how did #9 Garrett Roe behave? He often will stir the pot. Otherwise, the Huskies concentrate on good, smart hockey. If the Q wants to get into a special teams game, the Huskies will be ready for that, too.

The tripping was a brutal call. The SCSU CTH penalty was against Lauridsen... at 6'-6" or whatever he is, casual contact with anyone is CTH! :rolleyes: It, too, was borderline at best.

Yeah, those quotes were in our local paper too. I didn't take them as an admission of guilt however.

Hepp seemed to be trash talking anyone around him. I didn't notice Roe doing anything.

Agree with both of these. Thought the Q might have gotten away with six at the same time as the Hepp penalty, which was probably the most legit one of the night.

I'm just curious, but why do you think they're less likely to call that in a conference game?

This has got to be a misprint...Rioux at 4th line wing? Could they mean ammerman again?

I was thinking the same thing, but if that's the line Tom posted, I bet that's correct. Weird. Maybe Motzko is messing with us.
 
Re: St. Cloud @ Quinnipiac Jan 15th and 16th: Are we playing the Gophers yet?

Rioux? Is this his first game since . . . October 2009? What about redshirt?

Is Novak a healthy scratch?:confused:
 
Re: St. Cloud @ Quinnipiac Jan 15th and 16th: Are we playing the Gophers yet?

Rioux was out for the pregame warmup and appears to indeed be playing tonight. Not sure when his last game was.
 
Re: St. Cloud @ Quinnipiac Jan 15th and 16th: Are we playing the Gophers yet?

Still gotta play 60 minutes but i'll take the sweep. Didn't see or hear it so what happened in the 3rd?

Quinnipiac dominated play in the third...converted one early and the second with a 6 X 4. Hit a post with 15 seconds left and left the home fans frustrated.

Overall, the better team won both games this weekend however I don't think the games were as one sided as some posters on here believed they would be. If Quinnipiac played like they did in the two games (2nd period tonight excluded) they would easily beat most league teams.

Hopefully they can carry that on. Good luck to SCSU here on out.

Thanks for the update. Bring on the goofers.:D

Good luck to the Q the rest of the way. Would love to see you guys come to the NHC. Get some wins and help our pairwise ok? :)
