Scrimmage Sunday, personally I was getting sick of watching the patriots try to play that defense thing anyway. I'll be at the scrimmage, hope to see a gelled team unlike our team early last year where we looked HORRENDOUS. Also hope the freshman look talented. Any thoughts? I hope we don't play much of players like Quailer who we are relying on to contribute heavily this year, don't want a season ending injury this year please.

Re: Northeastern Huskies 2011-2012 Season Thread: Year of the Mad Dog
Interesting, Karlsson might bring some positives, far as 'creative playmaking' ..we'll see if that translates into HE/ Div1 success. He likes to pass the puck as well (going by his USHL record).. so who knows, might be him or Quailer. These things are in flux beginning of the season anyway. Its one thing what they see in practices.. a whole different ballgame once the games begin. Team has had to weather a lot this offseason.. let's just play hockey & have some fun!GO NU HOCKEY

I was under the impression that Quailer was a rightwinger. Maybe Karlsson is a hidden gem, or maybe they're being creative with lines for the exhibition game. Madigan has said he wants to play the team as is to get his feet wet, so I'm guessing we'll see more or less the lineup, with one or two changes (I'm guessing he plays all the freshmen forwards to let someone prove themselves.

I've talked to a few of the players and they echo what Quailer apparently said on WRBB (didn't listen to the interview). Also, keep your eye on Karlsson. Seriously. And keep your eye on Dongara this year also.Last edited by SkinsFan09; 09-30-2011, 08:19 AM.Northeastern Huskies

Will Rawlings start every gm or will there be rotation early in the season? Would be great if Coach let both goalies compete each wknd.GO NU HOCKEY

Re: Northeastern Huskies 2011-2012 Season Thread: Year of the Mad Dog
I thought I read some where Karlsson was a good corners and along the board type of guy. That in itself would make sense to stick him with Cody, something surprisingly he was not that good at last year, but maybe can get better at, and with Quailer. Let him dig out the pucks and let the other two float around looking for their shot.
Towards the end of last year kinda looked like Quailer and Cody had something clicking between the two of them. Though they played together at the beginning of last season too (something i had asked for along with Verrmesch, an all skill line) and it flopped big time. Perhaps Cody was not as ready in October as he was in February.
Not sure what to make of Quailer's comments about playing like a "robot". (a knock on Cronin, a guy that had great things to say about him for a long time?) Playing that way did not seem to stop MacLeod and McNeely from putting up points over their 4 years here. Or maybe those two were just the exception to the rule and were also held back and played like robots? Quailer, time to put up or shut up. I am in the put up camp, but if Dongara ends up with more points then you again this year, maybe its time to look in the mirror.DogHouse Graduate 2001

I read this earlier and sort of dismissed it, but maybe this source has something:
http://infieldchattersports.com/2011...eason-preview/
I doubt that the Quailer line is the 5th line (although maybe they're going to be kept under wraps for the exhibition), but that line at least looks likely.
As for the robot comment, I think it had more to do with Cronin emphasizing a very rigid defensive game a lot of the time. He didn't open up the game a lot (though he started to this past year), and I think an offensive guy like Quailer may have been frustrated by that.Last edited by GoNU5; 09-30-2011, 01:07 PM.

Re: Northeastern Huskies 2011-2012 Season Thread: Year of the Mad Dog
I'd rather the team play like robots and win games/make NCAA tourney etc... than play loosey goosey do whatever you want out there like the Crowder managed teams. Looking forward to Sunday, any chance we can get someone to sing the Canadian anthem partially in French? Yeah, I know, St. Francis is in Nova Scotia, however, French is the other official language of Canada and the anthem should be performed in both languages.Dog House Class of 2003
