I don't think I've ever seen a game where I felt like apologize for... nobody got screwed but I'm just kind of dumbfounded right about now. You guys deserved better luck on the weekend.

I know.. I meant for those of us in the general..in the lower..for those of us mortals in the regular seats.. and btw, Huskies just blow a 3 goal lead just now.. then find a way to lose in OT. Congrats Lowell.. always enjoy my gms here.
NU Hockey.. buzzkill!

What could have easily been a 4 point weekend turns into a 1 point disaster. This team is not making the playoffs.

Re: Northeastern 2012-2013 Season Thread: A New Hope

Wow just when I think they can't blow a two goal lead back to back nights they score again to make it a 3 goal lead and then 4 unanswered by UML to lose 5-4 in OT. They really have outdone themselves tonight.

Re: Northeastern 2012-2013 Season Thread: A New Hope

Wow, that's all I can say. Blown leads of 3, 2, and now 3 tonight in the third period over the past two weekends. The defense and goaltending are simply atrocious and cannot close out games. Have to find Witt or give Roy a start in net.

Hell of an effort guys. We got the win but you definitely didn't make it easy.

That certainly was a choke job.

Re: Northeastern 2012-2013 Season Thread: A New Hope

Could have had 4 points
Should have had 3 points
At a minimum should have came away with a disappointing 2 points
We end the weekend with 1 point

I don't even know what to say about this disaster.

2 sandwiches shy of a picnic.. that's for sure..
Now crawl out of your mama's basement & go get a job..
oh, can you Coach?..

Re: Northeastern 2012-2013 Season Thread: A New Hope

I really give up..Another 1 point weekend. LOL! So Sad. Team choked but lot’s of poor coaching decisions to. OBTW, all of our goalies likely suck. Our D is suspect top to bottom our 2nd best player is graduating this year (SAP) and if any of you think that the incoming class of freshman has the talent to propel us into the top of HE standings next year your dreaming, PC, BU, BC, UNH and ND and even UML clearly way better entry classes than us. I really don’t see any reason why Roy would stay more than 1 year at most , if he comes back next year, I would say we are lucky, and beyond that, why would he? He will be gone at least to the AHL before a pro career. I look at what QU has done in the ECAC and have to admit that in a decade they have built a better program than ours with a 75 year history. That’s the difference when the schools alumni call the shots and not the AD. We suck and always do an likely always will. OMG the laws of averages would indicate that in a 4 team tournament you should win more than 3 beanpots in 100 years. But Really who cares anymore year after year of futility. Who would really want to play at NU today, top to bottom its a minagire of middle of the road prospects if you are a great talent there are so many other options, if you’re a farm boy form Saskatoon you not picking NU, no place to keep your pickup truck. Our problem is recruiting and it always will be. There are simply not enough good players to fill 90 HE roster spots in Boston, when the last 30 are are filled are at NU. Sorry. No coach could ever make this program BU or BC. I finally have realized it’s never going to happen. It took me 25 years to accept it.

As negative as this is it's 100% true. Being a new fan I can't help but feel I jumped onto a sinking ship in NU hockey after this weekend. At this point I would just want some direction in this program to put us among the UML, Merrimacks, and PCs of the world, just a middle of the road (maybe top 5) Hockey East team. But reality is UConn will probably pass us in a couple years in Hockey East. This weekend was just beyond deflating, but I guess even if NU got results it really wouldn't change where they are as a program. I guess it's a good thing I didn't choose grad school based on the hockey team. I'm really dumbfounded for words to describe how disastrous this weekend turned out to be. I guess the only good thing is I haven't suffered years of futility like other loyal fans here. Nonetheless I'll stick by my school and support the team as frustrating as it can be.

I hate to agree with this but we have all seen the movie thst played out last night before. 70 years of crap with an occasional good season sprinkled in. I do not understand why they can't be a 4-6 place team every year but its obvious they can't. Can't be that every coach that has ever been here was the wrong choice?

Based on the size of next years incoming class I am guessing that they plan is to pull the plug on this team, there will be a new team on the ice next year. Young team mist likely 8-10th but hopefully building for future. Which is all we ever do, hope for next year.
