2013-14 Quinnipiac Bobcats: New season, new scoreboards, new chance at redemption

For the task at hand, I like the team's acknowledgement of the fact the championship rematch is this weekend but no focus will be put on it until Saturday morning and I expect the Brown game to be closer than the Yale game.

Last year's mantra: one period, one shift, one game!

Here is the link to the Rand interview with USCHO live.

The decision was 100% he didn't want to go to class. I think with his time out from being injured and that he couldnt play but still had to go to class he decided he never wanted to go to class again. I'd recommend everyone listening to USCHO Live as they had Rand on tonight. He dropped a couple tidbits of info about it, one being the Blue Jackets were against him leaving, which is very interesting. Rand also didn't shut the door on picking up a kid mid year. Heard about this kid, Landon Smith who plays for Salmon Arm in the BCHL. He decommitted from Denver after the coaching change and decided to stay put while he reopened his recruitment so I dont see why not put out some feelers to some guys that have shown interest in college hockey like Smith. He is currently leading the BCHL in points (30) through 20 games.

There's some question about whether or not a coach can use the scholarship of a departed player to bring in another for the next semester. For example, Northeastern lost Cam Darcy and Joe Manno early last season, yet they could not use those funds to accelerate or recruit someone for the post Christmas portion of the schedule. Perhaps? the coach can assign parts of the scholarship to existing players on partials - at least for the next semester. If he can do that, at least some good will come of Quenneville's leaving.

Yep,Brown will beat Q by two less goals than Yale, good call.....

From what I understand we can use Quenneville's scholarship to bring in a guy midseason. Im not 100% on that but thats what I heard

We'll have a more in-depth preview later in week, but here's our first look at Yale-Quinnipiac on Saturday night.

The reasoning behind the rule (Yes, the NCAA does have some reasons for some of their myriad rules!) is that an unscrupulous coach might "run off" his recruiting mistakes during the first semester and replace them with other players for the second semester. I suppose that the junior hockey coaches would be PO'ed, but I doubt that the NCAA bother to take that into consideration.

Looks as if Quenneville is leaving the team. Devon Toews just tweeted, "Hard saying goodbye to a great roommate and a great friend. Goodluck in Brandon @Triple_P_Pete" Brandon Wheat Kings are in the WHL. Dissapointing if true.

Yes, that is disappointing. Brandon's gain Bobcats loss.

Great two Sam Anas articles in the New Haven Register and Hartford Currant. Worth checking out if anyone hasn't yet.

Better yet, check him out in person. The kid is filthy (have I said that before?) and extremely fun to watch.

Hah oh yeah I remember from the UML game.

Enjoy the games this weekend. I'll be watching... Saturday from the Boston alumni event for the Yale game.

I'll be at the Dartmouth game on the 16th. Probably will join you guys up top.

Get on the Sam Anas bandwagon before it fills up people!

Still pulling for JST to make a push for Hobey ... But I'll take Anas!

Game day at the Bank!

Brown appears to be feisty again this year. We need to come out strong... none of this "finding your skating legs" in the 1st. Have got to skate hard from the opening faceoff.

The home crowd should be an advantage and hopefully the students will be there, and be loud.

Go Q!

JST started strong but seems to have cooled off just a bit. He needs to get back on the horse. If he and Peca start scoring, watch out!
