Huge game tonight. The boys need to show up in Cambridge. A win tonight will be huge. Most of all they need it for confidence reasons. This slide that they're in has to be a little painful. Time to try and right the ship.

Go Q!

Most of all they need it for pairwise implications. It's the biggest game of the season. Without this win the path to an at-large berth really diminishes which would force them to have to win the conference tournament.

Rand just got bounced from the game for arguing, now 4-1 Harvard.

You guys did show up in the first period and for the start of the second until the Pecknold ejection. Then you seemed to lose composure and focus. The multiple penalties obviously hurt but it seemed like you guys were a man up the entire third period so the game swung in your favor quite a bit.

Harvard needs to practice hitting an empty net. Geez, was that embarrassing when Kerfoot and Krushko (his first attempt) missed out in front. Ugleeeee.

Refereeing was a joke. That second Harvard goal -- if that's not a kicking motion, then they should just abolish the rule. I'm glad Rand got bounced -- it's good to stick up for your team when the refereeing is that bad.

I honestly looked at the replay and didn't it was a distinct kicking motion.

Puck is going backwards, it hits the skate, which then thrusts forward and the puck trickles in. That's a kick in my book, and I think Rand was right to be livid.

But to get that call you need a distinct kicking motion. That hit the skate and redirected into the goal. He turn his skate towards the goal to kick the puck in. It went off the back of his skate and he was figthing in front of the net for the puck. That is what I call a bad break for Quinnipiac.

It wasn't a direct kicking motion. I was looking at the replay from my seat at the game. Nathan slid his skate towards the post as he was skating away from the goalie. And it wasn't a smart move by Pecknold to get bounced. Your team lost its composure and the game in the process. How does that help you in the PWR going forward?

It doesn't help at all in the PWR. Quinnipiac essentially has very little path to an at large berth at this point due to a weak non conference schedule outside of BU and BC.

From that definition, the only way it becomes a distinct kicking motion if if the player's skate leaves the ice. For me, if the skate is thrusting towards the goal I think that's a kicking motion. I think that's intentionally pushing the puck into the net with a skate, and I think that should be no goal. In the NHL you'd definitely see that goal called back occasionally (not every time, but probably 50-percent of the time you'd see that called back).

Pecknold lost his composure and than the captain took a dumb penalty. To me, that speaks of larger issues (leadership) within the Quinny locker room. Been a tough stretch and hope that they can turn it around.

It's a matter of semantics but Nathan's skate was sliding toward the post, not directly towards the goal and there was no thrust to kick it in. It would have been obvious to all - he was moving away from the goal rather than directly into it. If he was pushing his skate directly into the goal, it would have been waved off.
