I feel this is the case for many years at QU.  It seems like the student section is growing and more reliable as far as actually coming to the games. Tickets are always at a premium, yet we get there and there are lots of empty seats. Whether it's traffic (the dreaded parking garage) or dinner delays, it always feels partially empty, and doesn't always fill in. Townies don't always care who the opponent is, sound familiar?

I'm dreading the game and reconsidering wearing a bright red uniform. Another long road trip, a slumping, tired looking squad, and just the opposite from the hosts. Could spell disaster! Maybe we can regroup and CJ can wake us up. Playing a top 5 team is a rare opportunity.

Ok, enough about pizza.

Am I the only one who is seriously concerned about a let down after such an emotional past weekend?  Coming off the big wins and facing two recent doormats in the league...can't help but worry a bit. NPI and standings will not allow a slip up this weekend. I think the young team will look Walsh, Major, Stanley, etc to lead by example. AC must be rock solid in net, both nights.  Casey must get them up for these battles.

Timing is everything. I'm leaning toward BAR as the well-known, over publicized three are too risky on a Friday later afternoon/evening. Pepe's, Sally's and Modern are TOTALLY worth the trip and wait. Id lean toward 4:30 or 5 to go there. I'm planning on 5ish at BAR. Brutal cold in New Haven, but not snowy like last years game.

Quote from: Trotsky on January 16, 2026, 01:21:29 AMI think players leave early due to the risk of injury.  The extra year of development is not worth the risk that on any shift it can all be taken away.

In reality, there are so few actual spots in the League. Sam M is crushing it, as is Morgan B....not many! Now that the NCAA is a complete crap show, maybe Dalton could return...it sounds so stupid to type it, but it's the new reality!

Quote from: chimpfood on January 15, 2026, 12:31:01 PMThe student section won't be more than half full this weekend. Most people back already are busy with rush stuff and everyone else tries to come back Sunday or Monday.

I was there last weekend and the student side sections on Saturday were 75-80% full. It will be crowded both nights.

Jane is such a good, thorough writer.

My take away was that if we look at the big picture, and not micro-manage each shift over every weekend, we are a very good team, in a good position, with a solid "upside" going forward. I don't see this team having a slump or meltdown....perhaps a hic up like at Clarkson, keeping us in the conversation all season. Need steady play between the pipes and we'll be ok. #LGR

Hate to pile on the ice concerns, but rainy and milder weather incoming to Ithaca. 40s, not 50s like back in November, but worth noting with 4 games on the sheet.

Amazing trip up by the Green. All the flowers that have been tossed at Cashman et al, and they fall flat in their first big road weekend of the season! Deja vu all over again?  Could Syer and the Tigers be for real? Pecker and Q always looming. Good to see Sucks* deal with a zero-burger points weekend. I like where we sit and the way we are playing. Shook the rust off against a tough foe. Need to get A Corn a confidence building weekend...Remy makes my nervous every start. Offense was sporadic, but useful vs. UNO and I'd like to see more of a flow to the attack as it felt helter skelter coming out of the break. Let's keep it rolling

RW picked for College Selects.  Just don't get hurt...and he might be a bit tired for UNO. Congrats!!

I stand corrected....it was Major and Kraft, my bad.  Too much fun celebrating the Natty!

All this chatter and nobody mentions to two very important returnees in Walsh and Major who I may have chatted with at the Lax Championship...watching Lax win had those guys fired up and in reload mode, not rebuild. It's going to be another stellar year on the Hill.  It's June, glass 3/4 full folks!

Just wow.  Theories on entering the portal?  Academics too rough or not a Casey fan?  This is a tough loss, but not a total game changer after a subpar sophomore season.

Hearing a few tidbits out of Toledo....5 guys sick with the flu right now. Makes me admire the group even more. I few of our studs were less factors than I though would be the case, maybe they were ill.


Also, the guys were taking midterms on Friday!! Do you think the BU players were cranking out Macro Econ midterms or Business Law?  Doubtful.  


Love this group and am saddened the season over. Playing with house money is fun.  I watched the YouTube highlights again, same result, but the NCAA version really shows how amazing Shane was! For being so pedistrian all season, he really got it going over the last month, totally flipped the script. IT would have been a 6-5 game with so many chances both ways. 1st minute of OT coulda/shoulda been our moment. One bounce.  

On to Lax now! #LGR

If basketball goes over it's time window, where does the game reside? Besides the Plus

Good morning and what a morning to be alive!!

Today is the ultimate "playing with house money!!" game. Just like Denver and Maine, we aren't expected to advance and Sparty is looking past us and watching film on BU, as they know OSU too well. We are in an amazing spot, even more so by our average regular season...Lansing sees 18-10-6 in a weak conference and they think we will roll over!! LFG!! I watched the NDU sweep highlights this morning, Denver and Maine from the last two years and I can't help but get fired up. If we play our game, super disciplined and are opportunistic with our chance we can and will shock the College Hockey world. The boys have extended Schafer's career another weekend, so there is zero pressure and low expectations. Win and Saturday is a different story as we look at the REGIONAL FINAL jinx....but that shit can wait.

Need to show up and do exactly what we've done from Colgate and through LP, clog the middle, force the dump in and win the battle of the boards. I say 3-1 W with an ENG and lots of nerves for us fans.
