Northeastern Huskies 2016-17 -- Great Expectations

Re: Northeastern Huskies 2016-17 -- Great Expectations

Sorry, you are obviously a glass is 1/2 full kind of girl and perhaps have not felt the full brunt of utter pain and sheer unadulterated disappointment I have felt following this team around for 5 months a year, every year, for nearly 30 + years....

Only 30+? You're a mere child.

Re: Northeastern Huskies 2016-17 -- Great Expectations

I personally hate the new womens jerseys. While I've only been following the program for about 5 years now, I like the current setup more than any of the WHKY jerseys or the older mens ones I've seen floating around.

With one Stevens back this weekend I think we match up well against a really good ND team at home who gets in late and tired on Thursday night. Still 2 points will be a victory.

I don't think 2 points is a victory at all. We should take all 4 points this weekend. Yes ND is good but NU should take care of businesses. I don't want to be happy with weekend splits. This team should start sweeping weekend series.

Re: Northeastern Huskies 2016-17 -- Great Expectations

NU picked up commitments from Dylan and Ty Jackson, two brothers (twins) who are from Ontario, Canada. Born in 2001. Both are tiny, 5'4'' and under, but are considered to be skilled playmakers. An OHL scouting service called it a "Very nice pickup for the Huskies."

That's all I got on them. Will hopefully have more when I dig this weekend.

I'm beginning to believe that this team is going to go only as far as Ruck can take them. A bit disappointed that the flaws that he displayed last season are still starkly evident this season. While Ruck was playing too deep in the net and displaying no foot or lateral speed whatsoever and giving up rebound after rebound, Oettinger stole a game for BU on Saturday.

Guess what...the goalie we face this weekend is just as formidable.

Monday the word was that a decision would be made yesterday. Yesterday, the word was it will be game day. It's less of a structural issue and more of a ROM issue at this point - from what I understand.

Also, I have heard that they moved both Collier and Pond up to center ZAR and Schule which I find to be a bit of a puzzling move. IF anything, I'd throw Collier up on the wing (which is where they should be playing him anyway, IMHO) with those two to keep his speed wide as ZAR draws attention and creates a lot of room ...move Pond up with Kurker and Lerario and have Picking center Rosenthal and Jameson and have them take 2 shifts a period.

I'd also like to see Schecter play over Owens.

Re: Northeastern Huskies 2016-17 -- Great Expectations

Stating the obvious here but we absolutely can't get swept this weekend. At 0-4-1 (with 4 out of 5 at home) a first round bye is almost already out of the equation. Any word on JStevens?

Edit: Just saw the lines and he is still out. So are Kurker and Jozy.

30 plus years of watching since I went to NU. So if you do the math I am in my 50's !

I have no timetable on his return and was with Harvard coach who usually has info last night and he didn't know anything. Tonight's game was fine for 2 periods and then the D and net minding both went South. We need a point tomorrow or a 1st round bye is out of reach. They don't look good but I have been saying 5th or 6th place for a few weeks now. Tomorrow is a 3pm game and I may try to do it before the PATs late night game. Oh well it wouldn't be NU hockey if we weren't in the basement at Christmas!

..awful third period.

Kudos to ND for taking it to us, on the road.
Hopefully team can give them a fight tomorrow. Our puck movement (or lack thereof was very noticeable).

[northeastern]

not to mention (even with the shooting lanes open).. terrible shot selection this gm.

Lets regroup & get something going Sunday.

What I was trying to say was that some of us have been suffering with this program for considerably longer than 30 years. So if you're in your 50s, you're still a mere child, relatively speaking.

It would help if forwards other than ZAR, Gaudette, and Sikura would score some goals against HE teams.

Anybody heard anything about skating with the Huskies after today's game. My 5 year old would love that.

Rossi isn't even the longest suffering Husky hockey fan in his own home town! I've got him by at least 15 years and you, Split-N, are several years beyond that. He is only "parboiled". More suffering, but more excitement in his future.
