Quinnipiac Bobcats 2017-18: Chase the dream...

If you do not have a goalie that can steal you some games, all the skill up front and will ain't gonna get you far in the post season.

Not sure how much you can put this on Shortridge. He's been getting left out to dry by a defense that has played poorly. He shouldn't be off the hook for any means but I'd put other issues higher on the list than him.

I am not giving up on this season but I know what this teams limitations are. To win championships and be a great team in hockey you need two things. Skill and will. This team may have some will but they clearly don't have the skill.

I agree whole heatedly. I'm not giving up but given the way the guys are playing we need to be realistic. I would love nothing better than to see them turn it around in the second half and win the tournament but realistically it's not likely but not impossible. As a fan who goes to all the home games and most of the local away games (Uconn, Yale, Amherst and the games in Boston) its one thing to watch them play and say they played well but lost that I can accept, but the recent games I walk away just shaking my head. I will still show up and cheer them on and hope for the best but my expectations have gotten low. I hope they use the next half of the year to develop the underclassmen who will be the core of next years team and hope some of next years incoming freshman can elevate the team back to the heights we have seen recently.

We’ve been in attendance at every game thus far and hope to continue that throughout the rest of the season. I’d really like to see them use the UConn game as an exhibition game. Try some things, switch up lines per period even. Give Shortridge the start, let Petruzzelli play period 2 and the better one gets period 3. And if they both stink it up, give Mayanja a period in goal. At this point the non conference games mean nothing. But the next 4 after that, could be the season. We’ll continue to wear our Blue and Gold and continue to support them on the ice. But expectations for this season have definitely been lowered. Maybe the break will give them a reset. Anyway, Let’s Go Bobcats!

So on the up side, we just finished our first weekend since before Thanksgiving without a loss!! Seriously, 7 big away games to set the tone for the second half. Cornell and Colgate are a good hike, but Hartford is less than an hour up the road. Would be great to see a good QU Fan turnout at the XL to kick off the second half. Let's go BOBCATS!

As of this morning, the ECAC holds 7 of the bottom 15 spots in the Pairwise. Not Pretty.

Very interesting to hear how a seemingly innocuous visit to QU basically spurred his decision to want to come play here. Good job with this, and Merry Christmas to all my fellow Bobcat faithful.

Absolutely agree. Quinnipiac doesn't usually hit the Chicago market that young for a kid and hopefully this opens doors to the Chicago Mission program as there is alot of talent there.

A couple of new assistant captains: http://quinnipiacbobcats.com/news/20...-captains.aspx

I wonder if we'll see any other changes come Tuesday?

I still think this will be a different team in the 2nd half.

Hope everyone is enjoying the holiday season...
