Was scrolling through the DirecTV schedule and noticed that the Friday game at Maine is being televised on Fox College Sports, if mentioned previously, my bad.

Thanks for the heads up. I set my DVR to record it as I won't be home tomorrow night. Where I'll be doesn't have FCS so I'll be watching the Maine feed online.

Another big test this weekend. Hopefully the D pulls together and plays a more solid game. I think we'll see a different look to the power play units. It will be interesting to see if Rand makes any other changes in lines and/or personnel.

Go Q!

I'll get up there someday. I was going to try this weekend but you have too much going on up there (and I couldn't get today off). I want to experience the true Orono when I come.

Pathetic final 10 plus minutes for Quinnipiac. Defensive breakdowns, too many penalties and lazy goaltending.

Re: Quinnipiac Bobcats 2016-17 - It's 873 miles to Chicago...

Derek Smith played as poor a game in the third period as he's probably capable of. Young team that needs to take a couple hard losses. Time to bounce back tomorrow

Re: Quinnipiac Bobcats 2016-17 - It's 873 miles to Chicago...

Ugly 3rd... need to clean up defensively.

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.

I wonder if Rand goes back to Truehl tomorrow or goes with Shortridge. That 3rd Maine goal he was out of position badly after the initial save and left a huge rebound.

I'd hope he has a longer leash than that. Truehl was not the issue tonight. He made some great saves throughout the game. One bad one shouldn't get him yanked to the bench.

Not much he could do on the 2nd one that they put 5 hole through him. Lawrence is the clear #3.
