Not so good for the Q it looks like.

First two goals for Yale were soft and by the time they scored their third, it was too late for the Q.

First two goals for Yale were soft and by the time they scored their third, it was too late for the Q.

For all but 3.5 seconds of the first 2 periods, Yale set up similar shots resulting in scoring their first goal. A bit lax on Qunnipiac's part to end the period, but a skilled goal by the Elis. They pushed hard to the end of the 2nd period, fought harder the entire game, and clearly are very deserving of the victory. Some comments suggest some people never played much hockey, but good for Yale.

Not so good for Quinnipiac, a dozen+ players leaving, and an average age dropping down from the current quarter century mark = rebuilding year for Pecknold. Hmmm, Maine job's open too ...

Quinnipiac's goalie had a rough night tonight. Soft goals for the most part. When the game went from 5 on 3 in favor of Q to 5 on 3 in favor of Yale it was a big turning point.

Maine job's open too ...

They have all but said loud and clear that they want a "Maine man" for the job (unless of course George Gwozdecky throw his hat in ring) - look for Greg Cronin or Bridgeport Sound Tiger Coach Scott Pellerin to lead the pack now that Jim Montgomery has taken Gwozdecky's old job @ Denver.

Word is Maine has contacted no one about the job, and may just put Bob Corkum, Tim Whitehead's assistant in the job. He's currently the interim. Cronin has not even been contacted by Maine.

Still can't believe Hartzell gave up such soft goals. Hartzell did also give up soft goals against Canisius. But QU does still have the upper-hand already on the all-time record against Yale and they just joined the ECAC in 2006. This, um, kind of evened it out. I guess. Now I expect the "War on Whitney" to reach hooligan levels.

I personally don't think Pecknold will be quick to leave QU. He built the program. He has the ability to lure top talent now. Players who play for the USA Hockey National Team Development Program to QU. So does Allain at Yale.

Agree about Corkum (poorly written comment by me - edited his name out by mistake). I'll see if i can re-find article about Cronin (could have been a blog mention).
