..you guys still get 4500 odd fans to the gms. What is Alfond cap.. like 5500? Still not bad..

..on the other hand in Orono, ME on a Fri/Sat night.. c'mon what else? :) So i see your point.

Well we've sold out our first 2 gms (4666 new cap for Matthews) so we are truly happy because here..Fri/Sat nights, yeah stuff to do.. can get easily distracting in the city, so we'll take the strong crowds long as we can get 'em..

Just as [more?] important for NU: who's healthy??

If we have a full enough bench, I'm confident. If not... I'm hopeful for another big Rawlings show
 
Re: Crazy-Azz Cronin Welcomes Timid Timmay pher 2

If we want to be competitive in HE this year, I think we can't get too far bbehind the 8 ball to early, especially given the tail end of our schedule (home and home with bc unh bu). I think anything less than 3 points this weekend is a disappointment, we need points!

Whats Darling road record? Thats the key, Maine gets good goaltending and they can beat NU. If not.....

We can only hope he's gained some confidence from the past couple of games. Wilson didn't even make the last road trip.

Atleast we have some offensive threats now.

I think someone mentioned that Guzior is out indefinitely, trading in his jersey for a suit and a seat next to Steve Quailer. A few guys had the flu, I know Vermeersh is back. I have no idea about Hewkin or Muench. I wouldn't expect McNeely to be back this weekend, he is healing up from an injury and they will probably take the cautious road. If it was a playoff game I would assume he could go.
 
Re: Crazy-Azz Cronin Welcomes Timid Timmay pher 2

thnks for the link.. yup, it'll be a tricky weekend against a confident Black Bear team.

I do think 2 pts is a must for us.. anything better than that would be outstanding. Anything below.. (however hard to swallow).. might be the reality of what we have right now..
 
Re: Crazy-Azz Cronin Welcomes Timid Timmay pher 2

What'll really be fun this weekend is watching two huge goaltenders go at it..

if (as i presume), Darling get's the start in net both nights..(as Rawlings will for NU)..i think it'll be the first time (least for me).. to see two 6ft 5in. goalies on either end of the ice...!!

Rawlings & Darling both listed at 6' 5".. hey our goalie got 10lbs on your goalie..

Ask me Sunday if it helped or hurt :)
 
Re: Crazy-Azz Cronin Welcomes Timid Timmay pher 2

Maine almost pulls out a point, but Matthews Arena has become a very tough place to play. Kudos to the Dog House.

Dave Hendrickson has been a fan of the Huskies in these past few week... let's see if we can prove him right with a 4 point weekend.

... hey, he knows more about hockey than I do ;-)
 
Re: Crazy-Azz Cronin Welcomes Timid Timmay pher 2

..well he did pick us last wknd over BU & BC..

so he's about half right :) let's just go with that this wknd.

Home advantage might help us..but it won't last all wknd. I think they (the Black Bears), will get pts this wknd. I'm hoping we can minimize it to 2 or less pts.
 
Re: Crazy-Azz Cronin Welcomes Timid Timmay pher 2

Maines road record is pretty pathetic, if I were a NU fan I wouldn't worry much. The key is Darling, if he plays well Maine has a shot at some points. Going by Umass and UNH games, I'd say the odds were slim and none:p

It was close in the 05-06 HE Semis, when BC played Maine. 6' 5" Ben Bishop vs 6' 2" Cory Schneider. The poor goal judge thought he'd be able to see the far end of the ice in at least one period, then realized that both goalies were huge.

hey ever see those lifeguard lookout tower/chairs.. who knew they could be multi purpose machines :)
 
Re: Crazy-Azz Cronin Welcomes Timid Timmay pher 2

Well.. couple hrs to gametime. Too many injuries on this NU team.. i think Maine comes out strong tonight. We'll do well if we can manage a tie.

Tomorrow i think we play better after having figured out the lines & play from tonight.

Seriously we're out too many good players for me to feel confident. Of course if freshmen can step up..great!.. i still think we'll have our hands full.

G'luck team

Go Huskies!
 
Re: Crazy-Azz Cronin Welcomes Timid Timmay pher 2

Realistically NU will be happy with any points considering the injuries. We'll probably have 2 guys playing D that have never played D before. If McNeely is indeed out, I do not feel confident at all on offense. Try to get a Vroylk Vermeersch 1-2 punch and hope for the best.
 
Re: Crazy-Azz Cronin Welcomes Timid Timmay pher 2

Well.. that was ugly.

Congrats to Maine on a good win. I feared this & my Friday the 13th scenario played out..

You were faster to the pucks, scored short-handed, scored often, scored on the PP, scored on 5x3, scored right after our PP.. just outplayed us tonight. I did not see the penalty on McNeely so i cannot comment.

I did see the penalty on Tuckerman.. i thought it was a tough break for him. I really thought it was a legit hit from where i was sitting but perhaps ref had a better view i don't know.

I still think it was a bad call (my opinion only).. regardless, would not have affected the outcome tonight.

Perhaps the refs were trying to impress the media - Brendan Walsh & Mike Milbury.. :)

I think we close the gap tomorrow.. but may not be enough. Let's try get that home advantage back..

McNeely is a moron, nevermind the hit from behind, plastering ONeill's head into the glass, he waited for Dee to leave the penalty bench, way away from the play and butt ended him in the face as Dee was just getting on the ice.

and which moron threw the water bottle on the ice from the NU bench at the beginning of Maine's powerplay after the first HFB major?

why do they call him crazyazz cronin, indeed!
