Re: Quinnipiac Bobcats 2016-17 - It's 873 miles to Chicago...
Every year you get so excited to watch a little hockey, then October comes and you have to sit through these early-season ref shows. Every single season, the NCAA decides the refs need to be super strict with everything in October, making these games borderline unwatchable. And it always gets better once we've had a few games under our belt. Give it a few weeks, and we'll finally be able to watch hockey, not whatever version of hockey the refs are trying to call in October. Just awful.
As for the hockey we did see in the middle of the ref show, QU looked better tonight. Truehl was terrific again -- he's the starter until he proves he shouldn't be, at this point. I thought they were better defensively -- Rafferty was a lot quieter, but defensively he was solid.
PP needs some serious work, there just isn't nearly enough creativity right now. You have to think that will turn around at some point.
Three points against a really good Northeastern team, not a bad way to start the season.
