Q Game Thread

[Jim Hyla]

I take full responsibility for today's loss, as I never started the game thread. So since I'm the last winner, I'm starting it now.

the storm is coming

Let this be a lesson to both of us.

[Scersk '97]

We, along with Harvard and Clarkson, will have our chances to spoil QU's "golden season." (Perhaps "silver season," considering how old their team is.)

It would be great to get a win tonight, but it's more important to get healthy while getting a taste of playing against them.

I want them to remain the ECAC's UNH.

That's Clarkson.

Q is the ECAC's Lowell.

That's Clarkson.

Q is the ECAC's Lowell.

UHN has won Hockey East twice; Lowell has won thrice. The University of No Hardware has been to the Frozen Four seven times; crucially, they have never won. Lowell has gone once.

At least in hockey:

UNH:QU::Lowell:Colgate

Clarkson is sui generis.

I rest my case.

[Trotsky]

Great job by the Tupker line so far.  We are playing very well.

[Al DeFlorio]

5 on 5, please.

[Trotsky]

Ian gives up a ton of rebounds.  I need harder drugs for this.

Shots 19-3 in the second, Q.

Shots 19-3 in the second, Q.

Q: 6 minutes on the PP
C: 5 seconds on the PP

But yeah, they are skating circles around us. Our guys seem too intimidated by Q's speed to handle the puck. A lot of flailing and throwing it away from one Q guy only to have it go right to another Q guy.

Q is great at closing gaps in all zones, and they're excellent with their sticks. Makes it hard for opponents to gain much traction.

i'm sure they do but the number of times a cornell player has the puck on their stick and throws it blind right to someone on Q is not a question of Q closing gaps.

My wish is for Motley to cash in on one of those great chances he keep finding.

I don't think it's being intimidated. I think there's been an effort to move the puck more quickly than they have most season, knowing the opponent. That has translated into more blind passes that you're just hoping goes to the right jersey color. Often, it's the wrong color, but I think the risk has been minimal.
