If they hadn't put up over 100 shots this weekend I'd say there's room for concern. Sooner or later some of these shots have to get in. We've been snakebit in the past and battled through it. We'll do it again. Remember, we've all been spoiled for a few years. They're holding their own and losing to a solid Union team isn't the end of the world.
    In fact, I'd say last night's game made me more optimistic about the season. QU thoroughly outplayed a really good team. Completely dominated the game. The scoreboard doesn't lie, but I'm much more optimistic about things after the game than I was beforehand.

        Well it was good to get a rare game on TV here on Long Island. And good to see the team play so well. But EXTREMELY frustrating to see them put up so many shots and only net 2 of them.

        Did anyone else think Truehl could have had 1 or 2 of the ones that got past him? Nothing terrible but no great saves either.

        This team does lack a high end finisher, and that will likely cause them not to make it to Chicago. But I think they can beat anyone on any given night. Rand really has a great system going. It is so obvious how well coached they are.


        By the way I am an Islander fan (yeah, I know!) and I am hearing GREAT things about Devon Toews playing for the AHL Bridgeport Sound Tigers. He is likely going to make it to the NHL at some point this season or next. And Travis St. Denis scored 4 goals in 3 games for the Sound Tigers over this past weekend. Great to see Bobcats thriving!

          I thought Truehl could have had the first goal. It looked very soft.

            There is the possibility that Quinnipiac may face BC without goaltender Joseph Woll, forward Colin White and defenseman Casey Fitzgerald as all are on the prelim roster for the WJC.

              The first goal was a crazy deflection, he just whiffed on it after the deflection. So hard for a goalie to react to a deflection like that.

              I can't remember all the other ones specifically, but as I recall most of them were either on the rush, or cross-ice passes, and those are very difficult for goalies to save. Hockey analytics tell us that when goalies are forced to go cross-crease like that, their save percentage drops very low. So no, I don't think it's fair to blame him for the goals allowed -- those were good plays by Union.

                      That was a painful loss. Credit to Princeton for doing what they needed to do. We skated hard but didn't seem to have any heart. Better figure it out quick with the short turnaround for tomorrow afternoon.

                        It's a pairwise killer type of loss. They can ill afford to be swept by this team.

                              That won't happen. They will fall out of the top 10 though.

                                Don't think that's quite right, but as I said recently I definitely don't think we're a top-10 team in the country right now. Everyone has a bad day occasionally. Hopefully that's all last night was.
