Northeastern Huskies 2016-17 -- Great Expectations

[northeastern]

again.. way to close it out.

we did give up 3 of 4 PP goals.. that stat has got to improve & penalty killing had better get better . on flip side however, nice to see our own powerplay click again tonight.

Way to go Huskies

Ruck was Ruck. He did make a couple of big saves to balance out the iffy goals.

true. the last UML goal.. he made 2 very good saves.. players in / around the crease have to clear the puck out. He did everything on that one.

thanks for recap.

no slow starts..! UMass has struggled & will be hungry to prove at home. Everyone just do your job & hopefully we'll be okay. Go Huskies!

[northeastern]

Ruck has given up 3 goals thus far tonight.. on.. on not that many more shots.. & its just the 1st..

Jekyll & Hyde this guy.. C'mon guys let's go!

[northeastern]

much closer gm going on over @ Mullins tonight.. not sure what to make of it far as NU.

Hopefully can come out of there tonight with some points.

If i'm hearing this right.. UMass has registered 58 SOG & there's still time left in the 3rd.. wow!

Re: Northeastern Huskies 2016-17 -- Great Expectations

And that my friends is called winning in spite of goaltending. 2 points. Great offense. Bad goalie, bad discipline, pretty poor defense. See you Friday for Lowell.

Shot attempts maybe. I heard 35 on the broadcast..

6-5 final.. Huskies.
Minutemen registered about 62 sog.. :d

edit: thx NUH ..perhaps it was shot attempts.. still, Ruck jas got to get it going at somepoint hopefully. Maybe D left him out to dry tonight..

Official SOG were UMass 35 NU 29. I can't fathom where you come up with 62, which would be pushing it even for shot attempts. But you're spot-on about RR needing to get it going. (And not just hopefully.)

On a brighter note, that's two in a row without anyone named Stevens in the lineup.

Re: Northeastern Huskies 2016-17 -- Great Expectations

Sikura now tied for the most points in the country. It's been said many times, but if they don't make any noise in the Beanpot or HE tourney with this group of forwards, it's going to be a huge disappointment.

..great to have the forwards.. but,
defense wins championships.

Goaltending on out. We need good goaltending.
Ruck had it last year.. he's gotta find that again.
The D in front of him.. same thing, make the simple plays. Giving up 5 goals to UMass, not good.

Right now just great to have dug out, played hard & won some gms without some key players.

"That group of forwards" isn't the group continually caught out of position as badly as they were last night...that was the defense.

NU was very lucky last night...a lot of selfish plays in the offensive zone...totally out-coached...a defense corp that just refuses to stay home...I'm hoping that they believed they'd have an easy game...still no excuse for allowing Carvel - and other coaches - to continually create line mismatches...rule of thumb from coaching 101...when your opponent has last change and 4th lines are matched with a play stoppage...PULL YOUR LINE OFF OF THE ICE...how many times if Keefe going to get caught in that mismatch before he learns?

That is all...
