With the Pairwise the non-conference schedule is huge. You can finish 7th or 8th in HEA and still make the national tournament with a strong NC slate. Or you can get destroyed NC, win the HEA regular season, get knocked off in the playoffs and be watching the tournament on ESPN3.
It will be interesting to see what kind of difference Saturday's loss makes in the final rankings.
I kinda doubt that that game will matter one way or the other.
I dont know, there is some decent talent, just not enough, depth has been a problem.
Just getting what there is for talent maximized has not happenned.
Actually looking forward to get to a game and see what this group looks like.
Hence why Northeastern typically schedules a joke of an OOC schedule filled to the brim with Atlantic Hockey teams, as an easy path to the big tournament. Sometimes I dont understand why, on the other hand, Boston College schedules such a tough OOC schedule year in and year out.
You must not realize that most OOC games are scheduled as much four or five years in advance. When NU scheduled 2 home and 2 away games with Union, TheDutchme had recently won the Frozen Four. Who knew that last year’s 20 game winners would lose so much of its scoring punch. This weekend we play 2 at St. Cloud St. They and UMass, our next opponent, were ranked among the top ten last season. Our brim full of Atlantic Hockey consist of Bentley and HC, which recently upset Providence.These are local games teams, which should be scheduled, as is Harvard, who we play in the Beanpot. No joke!
