Glad to hear it! WRBB didn't do a great job commenting on either actually...

It sounded like the Daniels brothers were clicking tonight, and I can't express how excited I am to win our first conference away game against a ranked team.

After the "the next item thrown on the ice will result in a UVM penalty" announcement was made, I was secretly hoping for a clever NU fan to take the opportunity to put that comment to the test (but I know we're better than that ;-))

Great win for NU. A much needed win, that's for sure.

On a side note- have any teams been swept yet in HE? (Not going to get too optimisitc here, just thought I'd ask)

I'll start believing in this team again if we put up a good fight tomorrow. Two good games against a good UVM team in a row will really get the sparks flying for this team, I think

As far as sweeps go...Maine swept Providence at the beginning of December, but that's it. Providence is 0-2 against BC and the Friars didn't play any games in between, but the games were a month apart (12/12 and 1/12).

It's going to take a little but more than winning again tonight for me to really start believing in them again. We still never know which team (good or bad) is going to show up on a given night/weekend. If they can go on a nice little streak, then I might start believing again. The team doesn't have to win every game, but at least play well for 2-3 weekends in a row.

The fans were throwing stuff on the ice? For what?

Yeah, NU fans would never throw anything, either on the ice or at opposing fans.

Ref had a quick whistle negating a UVM goal to potentially tie the game in the 3rd.

Jesus Christ.

Michael Hewkin is the worst player in this conference.

Re: Official 2009-2010 Northeastern University Huskies Season Thread - Life Post Thiessen

Just like i didn't think our 7-0 pounding of Dartmouth (who lost a close 4-3 decision to Vermont week before), reflected their club... our loss tonight should be viewed in the same light.

The tough loss tonight proves Vermont's offensive talent. Score not withstanding.. we split the wknd.

I'd be curious to learn what we didn't execute defensively tonight, that we did last night.

Work to be done no doubt.. but a split on the road against a quality opponent.. take it.. move on.

Re: Official 2009-2010 Northeastern University Huskies Season Thread - Life Post Thiessen

OMG..Lets face it Mountain Sucks and Rawlings is good, then bad and seldom great! The bottom line is this... Sadly, team could wind up not making the HE tournament this year and if they win 15 games it will be amazing. This team is in trouble, they have never recovered losing Steve Quailer, the only legitimate 1st team all American on the roster.

I think and hope Cronin finally might have sent the 3rd goalie Bennington packing. As he rode the pine for nearly 3 years and never exhibited any potential between the pipes. I am hoping that they just offer him to play on the B team and give him the final year of a partial scholarship to get him gone, so we can make room 4 a new face in front of the net.

Check it out but I am fairly certain that he again was not on the bench in the games up in VT this weekend and he was not on the bench last week in Boston.

I drove to VT this weekend to see these games and left in the 3rd period tonight down 9 to 2.

Unfortunately, this season is likely over.....

Oh other players that don't cut the mustard the worse half of the brothers Danial's...My God, why do coaches take the extra bro as part of a package deal? ..The jean pool only produces one top player..multiple examples in the NHL! Gretzky had a little brother we called the "good one" when I played in Rochester and Danbury. He spent 25 years in minor league hockey...the Drew needs another year back at Kent prep.

Also Michael Hewkin is bye far the wost player in this league and I have no idea how he is still playing..he sucks and I have seen nearly 30 years of NU hockey from both the bench, ice and stands and aside from perhaps Crowder's kid Kevin he might be the worst player I have ever seen in a Huskies Jersey.

Other kids that should be working at your local Home Depot or Pure Hockey outlet Steve Silva.

The issue I see is that the team is individually talented with mostly good recruits yet they lack crucial on ice leadership.

Tyler McNeely is not a CAPTAIN..Sorry!

And here's a Newsflash... until we find a on ice leader we are going to continue to be at the the bottom of HE.

I mean really our team is now filled with kids form the top BCHL and US junior leagues and we got out buts handed to us by Merrimack in early December..it's unreal.

Check out how many goals we have scored this season, we can bearly cycle the puck.

We will need a top to bottom rebuilding if these guy's can't get it together mentally. Cronin looks like Moe after Curly has just slapped him in the face and spritzed him with a a gallon of H20.

Here is a hunch..if he can't figure this out by at least the end of next season year..He will be gone too! The university community and alumni as a whole now expect better and sustained results year in and year out.

Also, note worthy, is that Cronin can, now, with incentives, earn more then the President of the University thus those results can't be promises in the dark any longer.

Hoping only for a Bean Pot now as let's face it nothing else is really left!

Re: Official 2009-2010 Northeastern University Huskies Season Thread - Life Post Thiessen

we outshot them 27-24.. & gave up 9 goals on 24 shots!

not a good night for anyone playing goal.

we're still 3-3 in the new yr.

.500 will not get us home ice.. perhaps this yr we will have to steal it.. not with tonight's team.. but with the team that has come & gone, time to time this season, including last night.

Talented freshman class + Lack of veteran production and leadership = Jekyll and Hyde Routine + Cronin developing ulcers

Somebody please check my math...

Re: Official 2009-2010 Northeastern University Huskies Season Thread - Life Post Thiessen

We just didnt show up on Saturday, as simple as that. We got more on Friday than we thought we'd get the whole weekend so we took Saturday off. Here's to hoping our freshmen and sophmores develop, that's all I can hope for realistically now. Anyone know why students wasnt on the ice Saturday? Game off due to fatigue/ poor play? I mean if it's poor play then why was Hewkin out there? Meh, we better beat PC or we are donzo
