          Well, that was sloppy. To be expected from a season-opener.

          First of all, I thought Truehl was terrific. That was a great debut from him.

          I also really liked the debut by the freshman Rafferty. He was solid defensively and did a great job stepping up into the attack. Aldworth also impressed me -- that kid has some serious high-end speed.

          On the other side, I thought Connor Clifton had a really rough game. Turnovers, missed defensive assignments, and another of those prototypical Connor Clifton penalties we've become so accustomed to. If he could limit his penalties he'd be such a better player.

          Overall, I'm cautiously optimistic about the club after watching that game. I'm not too sure where the offense is going to come from, but there's reason for optimism. Do I think they're as good as last year? No, I don't. That was the best team in program history. I do think this is a team that has the potential to make the NCAA Tournament, at which point anything can happen.

          Go Bobcats!

            Best Bobcat on the ice tonight. Made some great saves and can't be faulted for either goal. The first was from a guy wide open on the off side and the second was a wicked redirection in front... both from defensive lapses.

            Rafferty and Cukste were very good. Aldworth has a ton of potential but is a bit too selfish for me. If he can find the back of the net I'll be ok with that but until then...

            The important thing for all of us to remember is that this is NOT last years team. It's got an entirely different look and feel. Yes, we'll be a little soft offensively but I think the D will solidify and be our strength. It's only week one and there's still work for the staff to do with lines and special teams... both the PP and PK need some tweaking.

            It will be interesting to see how they respond tomorrow and what changes Rand might make.

                Truehl was really good tonight. He was basically the reason that we tied this game instead of losing. Really need more offense from somewhere. Not going to win scoring 2 goals a game. Defense is going to be the strength of the team. The PK is ok except for that 1st goal at the end of the PK. Power Play needs alot of work.

                  The boys need to regroup quick for tonight's rematch. Lot's of sloppy play in the 2nd last night... they must remedy that. Also need to take more shots. Tried a few too many fancy passes last night that didn't get through. Not much they can do before tonight, but the PP really needs work. It looked like what we saw last night wasn't even close to a final product. Rand will tweak the units for sure and they'll figure it out. I'm thinking Truehl goes again. He looked extremely confident and agile between the pipes. He picked up his D a few times last night.

                  Still way too early to panic... they'll get it all figured out and be just fine.

                    I don't even think there's reason to panic, much less whether it's too early to do so or not. There's no reason to panic. I think we saw last night that this is a good team. A little raw, and a little sloppy, but all the ingredients are there for a good team. How good they can be is something we'll find out in a few months.

                      I whole heartedly agree... it's just that I heard lots of comments at the game last night and get a certain vibe from posts here. The most prevalent comment seemed to be "they looked tired and gassed". Maybe... but Coach B will whip them into shape in short order. What he does with this team is phenomenal.

                      Let's face it. We've been spoiled the past couple of seasons. Anything less than a win is unacceptable it seems. Can we have another single-digit losses season? Sure. Will we? Only time will tell.

                      I think we saw last night that this is a good team. A little raw, and a little sloppy, but all the ingredients are there for a good team. How good they can be is something we'll find out in a few months.
                      Hopefully in a few weeks...

                      This IS a good team. The returning nucleus is battle tested and knows the winning culture. That will permeate the entire team. I think that once the lines settle in and the boys start to gel we'll see what they're made of. There's as much skill and potential this season as there was last season. The only difference is we're missing those "headline" names. Those who know me know that I'd prefer they fly under the radar than to have that big target on their backs.

                        Terrific young pickup for Quinnipiac staff today, receiving commitment from Mid Fairfield '02 F Victor Czerneckianair.
                        9. Victor Czerneckianair, #13 Mid Fairfield, 5-9/150, 2/17/02, Shoots Left -€” He's a very good skater with lateral agility. He possesses the ability to cut and move around opposing defenders with finesse. He made a terrific move in the shootout on Saturday, showing off his hands.

                          Every time we've play you guys the past 3 years it's been an exciting, entertaining game. I would love for Q to take ND's spot in Hockey East, but I know you're in a very good position currently. Looking forward to another good game tonight.

                            Can somebody in QPac-land please tell your vidstream producer to stop overlaying the PA announcements and piped-in music on top of the play-by-play track. It's ruining an otherwise top-notch stream.

                                Really good win tonight. The team had legs, the offense showed up and Chris Truehl looks to have taken the #1 job by the horns. Still need to cut the penalties down.
