Originally posted by Happy Husky Victory! View PostIt's a complete disgrace that the school can't be bothered to actively promote ZAR. Frankly, it's unheard of for NU to actually have a legit finalist for Hobey and there is nothing from the school about it. Yeah...they'll point to a few tweets and a story on Gonu.com but realistically, that's essentially just going through the motions to say you did some promotion. What an accomplishment, but it's "radio silence" from the Athletic Dept. No doubt Peter Roby is behind this. God forbid the only actual team that people care about and go to watch is in the spotlight..... Roby must go! Best of Luck Zach!!
I have been (and remain) a critic of the current athletic administration but, in fairness, the sports information people did much more than what you refer to. I criticized them for getting a late start on promoting ZAR's case but, credit where it's due, once they got out of the blocks, they seemed to do some excellent work that went well beyond a few tweets and a story on gonu.com. This includes working the "back channels" and other behind-the-scenes stuff.
But I'm with you on the larger issues regarding marketing, promotions, the game day experiences, and the fact that Matthews has become more like a mausoleum than the snake pit it was only a few years ago. Many reasons for this that have been discussed ad nauseum both here and over on DHD, some within the AD's control, some beyond it. But for starters, stringing together some consistently successful seasons that include an occasional Beanpot and deep post-season runs, would go a long way toward fixing what's broken.
To this end, I really thought this was the year for NU to build on the momentum gained from the hockey and hoops championships of the last two years but it was not to be, and I can't really point the finger of blame at either of those teams. The simple fact is that presumed mainstream hockey players missed 53 games because of injuries (JStevens - 10; NStevens - 18; Jozefek - 25) while hoops limped through the latter part of the season with only seven serviceable players. I hate to play the injury card but no program can lose that many players for protracted periods without paying a price in the W column. Don't know why but the hockey and hoops gods hated NU this year.Last edited by Split-N; 04-01-2017, 03:01 PM."Through the years, we ever will acclaim........"

ageee, tough breaks on the hockey season this yr, not to mention inconsistent goaltending. (again) Need hot (least decent) goaltending heading into the playoffs.
On the Hobey, i did read an article on both, the Boston Globe & Boston Herald websites mentioning ZAR & NU's Hobey winning chances. Now is up to the powers that be. Would love if we could (can) have a Hobey banner somewhere prominent in Matthews.. sooner, rather than later.GO NU HOCKEY

Re: Northeastern Huskies 2016-17 Part II: Postseason Edition
I'd argue the other contenders going up against Gaudreau in 2014 and against Eichel in 2015 were not exactly 'legit contenders' for that year. Everyone knew who was going to win. Players can deserve to be in the conversation but in years like that, I wouldn't say they'd be legit contenders to win. This year, 5-6 players could stake a claim to the award and have good arguments. Not so in some previous years
