Cornell @ Quinnipiac , 11/05/22

[Trotsky]

I think they are playing well on D.  They just have nothing going on attack.

And Shane has looked great.

[Dafatone]

Shots were 5-4 Q in the 2nd. Which is much better than the 1st.

[Trotsky]

Saved our best hockey for the third period.  That was quite good play for a couple shifts.

[Trotsky]

Now would be the time...

It's only been 4 games but I guess anemic offense will be the theme of this year?

Looks very similar to last year's offense—little talent, bad execution. Benching Donaldson and Bancroft, two of the higher skill guys, was a questionable choice given the team couldn't set up anything on any of their ample man-up chances.

Totally agree on little talent and bad execution

You would agree with anything negative I said about the team.

28-9 shots. Cornell looked better in the second and third, but it was an overall sorry performance. I've been beating the same drum, but it still looks to me like Harvard and Quinnipiac are leagues ahead of everyone else in the league.

I could see how the officials saw a shove into the boards, rather Seger losing his balance.

Hey, how'd a football post wind up here?

Live, I get it, but I don't know how you watch that on replay and think it was worthy of a misconduct. The Q guy pulled up early and stuck his butt out.

[billhoward]

The Q announcer just mentioned a guy from the Danbury Trashers.  There's a great documentary about them.  They were run by a small town mobster.

I feel sorry for the Quinnipiac fans at the game and watching from home. They outshoot Cornell like 29-8 and only have one goal plus ENG to show for it. And Cornell came close to evening things up. (But did not.)

Meanwhile the Q announcers, sheesh. Late in the game one of the dynamic duo got into a long aside about how noisy it was at a Black Hawks game maybe back to the Stan Mikita era. And he ran 5-plus seconds over into the faceoff. Also that anecdote, what was it, something like there's four Italian guys on the ice now, maybe they'll go for pizza. This is the No. 30 media market per Nielsen.

For anybody who went in person, was it hard to get tickets? There seemed to be, from the video, hundreds of empty seats even before the mid-game bailout for campus parties.

[Iceberg]

Those announcers were funny homers and had some rather tangential discussions (low attendance at Princeton, the officials with Italian surnames, random Connecticut minor league teams...). However, they did mention Joe Nieuwendyk was in attendance because his daughter is apparently a Q student. I think having him on the ice even now would've made a difference given the state of the offense during most of the game.

Are Donaldson and Bancroft healthy?

I have been to many "sell-outs" at Q which featured hundreds of empty seats. They apparently have a lot of season ticket holders who don't show up. In any case, Q did send out an email earlier in the week advertising that there were tickets for sale for the Cornell game. I got my own tickets earlier this fall when Q first put single-game tickets on sale. I usually get them with the local Cornell Club's block, but those seats are usually in the corner and it was nice to sit at center ice tonight instead.
