Re: Northeastern Huskies 2018-19: New Breed, Old Snarl
NU will be @Union 10/11 and 10/12. It's looking more and more likely the last 2 OOC games will be v. RPI. It's possible it'll be Colgate or AIC but Colgate is @UML 10/18 and 10/19 which should be a NU home wknd series and AIC usually plays teams just 1 time, if that's the case then NU just may have 2 diff opponents for 1 game.

If NU at Union is true, I could easily make it a three day weekend instead of driving an hour each way. Stay in Schenectady at night and go to Saratoga during the day.Nobody ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American people.

NU will announce their schedule on Tuesday - they are announcing a lot of their sports schedules next week throughout the week.
My final prediction for the 2 unknown OOC games are AIC and maybe Army if it's just a 1 game series.Last edited by Liveatjrl; 06-07-2019, 09:45 PM.

BC's schedule yesterday revealed that Harvard and BC are not returning their games v Bentley this year so that opens the door for NU to play them. I hope not and we play a new team / teams I mentioned earlier.

NU will play UNH in a HEA league game while the other two play an ECAC league game the first night. Winners meet the next night for the championship. Losers get a consolation game.Last edited by Split-N; 06-11-2019, 07:44 AM."Through the years, we ever will acclaim........"

Schedule has been released. Click this link: https://twitter.com/GoNUmhockey/stat...76209405227008
I'll put a blog post up later on our thoughts but here's some to start:
- Going to Maine between the Beanpot games is rough
- Drawing BU, PC, and UMass as 3 of our extra games is bologna.
- Home OOC games of Dartmouth, Bentley, and Holy Cross
- SUPER tough end to the season.

Re: Northeastern Huskies 2018-19: New Breed, Old Snarl
It is clear that we don't have any friends in the scheduling department! We have 3 games with UMass, PC, bu and Maine (including a visit to Orono between the Beanpot rounds). Only 14 home games + Belfast. If I were paranoid, I would suspect certain neighbors of ICEpionage here. They might feel it was perfectly justifiable after last season.
We get to run the gauntlet with our first five league games including 3 with UMass, and 2 (of 3) with PC. The Frozen Four would have been easier!! Sprinkled into the first month, we get to visit Union for two games and then go to Minnesota for two with St. Cloud. Those huskies were the #1 ranked team for most of last season until they laid a Horton sized egg in the opening round of the NCAAs (an annual ritual for them). They might possibly remember that we pinned their first loss on them when they came to Matthews last fall. Uh Oh. If we are not ready, we could easily start out 2-9 (1-5 in HEA). Sound familiar?
Then there is February and 2 with bu in March. I hope those games will still matter. Of course, the Beanpot matters where we have to deal with a strong Harvard team. Someday, it would be a treat for both NU and Harvard to meet in the finals. Not this year, but someday.

wow.. tough schedule indeed but whatever, is what it is.. i'm sure the team will make the most of it.
the one that takes the cake is the road gm to Orono between the 2 B'Pot Monday gms.. oh well, we had a nice run no expectations for immediate season & stranger things have happened.GO NU HOCKEY
Always bullish on the future.
We don't always win Hockey East or the Beanpot (#trilogy).. but when we do.. we are the Champions

Looking forward to seeing the hockey blog's post recapping the friends of NU meeting with coach tonight. Might give more insight on the schedule and future.
Also looking forward to what he has to say about incoming freshman class.
