    Northeastern 2024-25: Last Days (Maybe) for the Old Barn

    Per JK, Whitehead gets the start, at least on Friday. Except for one juicy rebound that Lowell potted for the GWG, Sigurdson looked fairly good over the weekend so wondering if we might see a rotation for the rest of the year. BTW, that one Lowell goal should have been offset if the offense...

    Northeastern 2024-25: Last Days (Maybe) for the Old Barn

    We've been asking that question all year. BTW, Joe Connor is a beast.

    Northeastern 2024-25: Last Days (Maybe) for the Old Barn

    I'm typically reluctant to criticize players if for no other reason than, despite the professionalization at the D1 level, they're still kids. And especially reluctant to criticize goaltenders on teams with offensive limitations. But I do think it's fair to say that Whitehead's game seems to...

    Northeastern 2024-25: Last Days (Maybe) for the Old Barn

    This discussion actually belongs on some other thread but FWIW, my take would be for the P4 schools to break away and form the PCAA (Professional College Athletes Association) because P4 football and hoops is just that. Hockey at those schools not far behind. Then the rest of us can get back...

    Northeastern 2024-25: Last Days (Maybe) for the Old Barn

    The previous post. All of it. The pendulum has indeed swung too far, and I'm surprised more people aren't alarmed about the future of college sports in general and college hockey in particular. Nobody, including me, would begrudge student athletes from making a few bucks for making an...

    Northeastern 2024-25: Last Days (Maybe) for the Old Barn

    Sadly, I think NU has started down the slope of a downward spiral. No show-stoppers (that I know of) in the once-robust pipeline thanks largely to NIL, which has morphed into unabashed pay-for play, and not just football and hoops. Almost impossible for mid-majors like NU to keep up. Maybe even...

    Northeastern 2024-25: Last Days (Maybe) for the Old Barn

    Here ya go: An elderly alumnus from a Beanpot school is settling into his seat—one of the best in the TD Garden--for the championship game of the Beanpot College Hockey Tournament. The seat next to him is empty. As he sits down, a young lady--a stranger--comes by and asks if the empty seat is...

    Northeastern 2024-25: Last Days (Maybe) for the Old Barn

    No posts on the Beanpot thread since Jan. 10. Can't remember so little interest at this point. Very little hype from the BP schools as well.

    Northeastern 2024-25: Last Days (Maybe) for the Old Barn

    Whitehead might have some liability on one goal but when the apparent game plan is for your goalie to pitch a shutout and somehow score at least one goal, it's probably not going to be a good night. Especially when you go 0-5 on the PP and can't convert on a 2-on-0 breakaway. Hoping for a...

    Beanpot LXXII: The Beat Goes On

    Less than a month to go so time for the chatter to begin. BU vs H in the Feb 3 early game; BC and NU in the nightcap. BC (12-3-1) is having a season for the ages; BU (9-7-1) at least is +.500; H and NU not so much. Which means that one of those two will probably win.

    Northeastern 2024-25: Last Days (Maybe) for the Old Barn

    Rossi's post in the 2023-24 thread is a wake-up call that puck drop on the 2024-25 season is just a week away, so it's time for a new thread. Agree with Rossi's forecast for the new season. Defense and goaltending will be lockdown solid--among the best in the country. Firepower up front is...

    Beanpot LXXI: "It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year"

    Time to forget the season records and hyperventilate over whether or not Northeastern continues its recent Beanpot domination; whatever has happened to Harvard; and all things Commonwealth Ave. Last year's finalists (defending champ NU and Hahvahd) have the early (5 p.m.) game with the Comm...

    Northeastern Huskies 2023-24: Brave New World or New Beginning?

    The close of the 2022-23 season marked the end of a golden era of Northeastern hockey—one that rivals that of the dominating 1980s teams. The age of Gaudette/Sikura/Shea/Davies/McDonough/Harris, et al that brought four Beanpots and four NCAA regionals is now in the rearview mirror. And then...

    Beanpot LXX: Timeless!

    Exactly four weeks before the puck drops for the 70th Edition of what is arguably the best college hockey showcase in the world, despite the NCAA’s best efforts at sabotaging it. BU and Harvard are riding high while any team with Cutter Gauthier (BC) is automatically a contender. Meanwhile, NU...

    Northeastern 2022-23: Unfinished Business - Great Expectations

    Despite being one of the nation’s youngest teams, the historic 2021-22 season brought Northeastern a Hockey East regular season title; Hockey East Coach of the Year honors to Jerry Keefe; and the Mike Richter award as the nation’s best goaltender to Devon Levi. But it also brought a...

    Off-Season Entertainment: Expansion Fantasyland

    Despite the fact that it’s mid-June and the Stanley Cup Playoffs haven’t even reached the final round, it’s the lazy, hazy days of summer for the college hockey world with seemingly little to talk about except what might be going on with a certain coach of a certain program. But let’s suspend...

    Beanpot LXIX: Live and In Person!

    Three weeks and counting before the Beanpot Tournament is back at TD Garden. And while the all-time single game attendance record (17,850) will likely not be broken, real people (not cardboard cutouts) will be in the seats. And IMO, that counts as a win in itself. It doesn’t matter that, with...

    Northeastern 2021-22: Our Doggie Dish Runneth Over?

    If ever there was a poster child for the idea of championship teams being built from the goal out, then the 2021-22 edition of the Northeastern Huskies is it. Start with soph goaltender Devon Levi, who dazzled for Canada in last year’s WJC. An injury sustained in that series shelved him for the...

    Northeastern Huskies 2021-22: Wise Old Dogs and Smart New Pups

    Hate to start off a new thread with bad news but it looks like Athletic Director Jeff Konya is moving on to San Jose State. Northeastern sports thrived on his watch and the Athletic Department on the whole is in the best shape it has ever been in. Jeff was also a huge friend of hockey, as...
