First game of the NU era. Matthews should be sold out and rowdy.

Colin Shea for UMass.. good player & passer. I think the better defense will win this one for their club. Hopefully it's us. If we can keep the penalties to a minimum, would help as we'll be short a couple players. Should be a good test for goalie. Go Huskies

Re: (10/7) UMass at Northeastern [HE]
Got my ticket already, I'm pretty pumped for this.
I think it comes down to goaltending and defense. Does Rawlings play well and help us out, or does he play inconsistently? Who is UMass playing, and are they ready for Hockey East (or in Teglia's case, is he ready to play a full season?).
Defense will be critical, I thought our defense was solid in the exhibition, would like to hear any UMass fans who saw their Maroon-White game comment on theirs.
Finally, special teams. Fear the Triangle wrote their PP did poorly in their game, and NU's went 4/8. However, our PK needs work. If we can cut down on their PP chances and keep them off the board while also doing well on the PP, we stand a solid shot.

I'd like to agree with you, but between the exodus of students for the holiday weekend and the start of Yom Kippur at sundown, there may be a shortage of regular fans, including me. Frankly the matchup is not the kind that will have scalpers lurking along St. Botolph street.
Karlsson will be the only forward who played Sunday who will miss the game. Two D's will sit - my guess will be Hoeffler and either Cornell or Oskroba. I suspect that the PK will improve for three reasons: The coaches will have made some adjustments. The goaltending will be different (better) and the PP that we'll be facing will not have nearly the talent that we faced vs. SFX.
BTW Karlsson's suspension will be two, possibly three games. The NCAA, being the DBs that they are, mandated the suspension, because several years ago in a land far, far away, Ludwig played on a Junior team that briefly contained an older "professional" player (by the NC$$'s peculiar standards) That tainted everyone else on the team. At least in an Italian court the accused gets a trial! The NC$$ officials should be thoroughly strip-searched at airports as they are true domestic (and international) terrorists!!!

Gotta second that, do not think gm will be a sellout due the holiday wknd.
Perhaps UMass will bring a good contingent of fans to keep it interesting for both sides.
Regardless, don't need a ton of fans to get the old barn going

At home, first reg gm for new Head Coach.. hopefully team can come out with a decisive game. The Maine game Sunday will be a bigger challenge, but the tone for the weekend needs to be set tonight. Go NU!

You make some good observations.. also since goaltending is a big question (as of now), for UMass.. would be nice if the DogHouse fans can get under new goalie's skin a little bit (whoever it is..), seemed Dainton started every gm for UMass in his yrs there. With him gone, would be nice if a bit of home pressure can help the team out early.
Take shots often & plenty.. let's get 'em early! (hopefully). Oh & let's play with some discipline!
