I'm hoping for 3 points (minimum) out of this weekend. NU has their own motivation as you said - securing a playoff spot. It should make for a couple of interesting and hard-fought games.

Re: Maine @ Northeastern x2 | 2/24-25/12
I hope I'm wrong, but I just don't see these games being close. Rawlings has been a mess recently, its been a struggle to score goals without Ferriero and Quailer and Bitetto has not proven himself to be the shutdown guy we saw in the BU quarterfinal series last March. All of that adds up to big weekends for the far and away best line in the conference (Diamond-Abbott-Flynn). Maine is a bit underrated I think, and they may very well be the 2nd best team in the conference (after BC).

Re: Maine @ Northeastern x2 | 2/24-25/12
What worries me the most about Maine...is which team shows up this weekend,the team that plays hungry or the team that plays the wait and see game...still comes down to goaltending/which netminder Sullivan or Rawlings comes up big from the get-go...Maine has the big edge in scoring,but again they could be very well be heading into a Hornets Nest with NU playing for the playoff lives. The Pressure is on Maine and anything that NU does over the weekend will be gravey.

Normally i'd say a split would help us.. however, we gotta go for it.. give it a 100% with the team (that's left) we got..
If Rawlings has a bad weekend, i'd start Witt for the BU series.. i think he knows he can play better & i hope he does.
Set the tone tonight & early.. Maine is very talented, play 5x5 hockey.. let the chips fall where they may. Let's go Huskies! Let's get a lead & stay with it tonight.. this is our playoff weekend!GO NU HOCKEY

Re: Maine @ Northeastern x2 | 2/24-25/12
Well, despite cheating us out of a goal and missing two head contact penalties, one of which drew blood but apparently wasn't seen, NU prevailed 4-2. I swear Shea has a vendetta against us.
That said, the Abbot-Diamond-Flynn line is filthy. They are so dominant in the offensive zone. Almost tied it at the end there.Northeastern Huskies
