Hockey East: Rookie of the Weak

Cody Ferriero - F, NU – Your usual table, Mr. Ferriero? Northeastern finally stopped its three game losing streak against Atlantic Hockey teams by failing to play one this weekend. They were not, however, able to stop any bleeding as they dropped two more games to Maine, running their overall losing streak to five games. Disgustingly, Northeastern currently stands at one win through 10 games (a forfeit by lowell). Anyway, young Cody did his part in securing the sweep for the Blackbears by picking up a minus and wearing out a path to the penalty box four more times over the two games. On Friday, his second penalty of the night produced the game winner for the home team midway through the third period of what was a tie game. Saturday was a much less theatrical affair for #79; though Cody did manage another two minute time out for running the Maine goalie and then was later forced to serve a minor penalty incurred by his own goaltender, Chris Rawlings.

I'm sure he's enjoying the more $, err playing time, errr physical play!

I wonder where hokydope is on this one.
 
Re: Hockey East: Rookie of the Weak

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone. In the holiday spirit, here are three players you can be thankful are not on your team

Third star (1 point):

Sullivan-Dan.jpg


Dan Sullivan - G, UMaine - Sullivan, a rookie of the weak virgin, finally pops his cherry though not just because of that disastrous sweep at the hands of the Eagles - but because of the manner in which he got his merry band of cheaters there. Sullivan grossly misplayed a puck on Friday night allowing Brian Gibbons an easy shorthanded score into an empty net during what was a 1-0 game. Less than thirty minutes (and multiple goals) later, Sullivan was watching someone else dance with his prom date for the last few minutes of a laugher. Days Later, despite having two sleepless nights to think about it, Coach Tim Whitehead mystifyingly trotted Sullivan out there a second time only to see him implode again with two goals in 40 seconds late in the second period.

Doug Carr - G, UML - Sweet, sweet Lowell. Oh, how I missed you during your bye week. We can now return to our previously scheduled programming - aka making fun of Lowell failures. In a previous edition, we prophesied that multi-week winner, Marc Boulanger, would soon cede control of the Lowell net to young Mr Carr due to too many abortions on the ice (2011 bench minor?). Well it seems we couldnt have been more right- and then wrong again. In fact it took a total of zero games from that speculative report for Carr to finally be given the keys (get it?) to the net. However, while starring in back to back nights for the first/last time in his career, Carr snatched defeat from the jaws of victory in only one period's time by allowing two shorthanded goals (and three total) in the first 20 minutes. Blaise Macdonald realized his mistake and immediately impounded Carr for Boulanger

Chad Ruhwedel - D, UML - Gobble, Gobble, Gobble! you can't talk turkey without mentioning Chad Ruhwedel. Previously spotlighted with only a second place finish, Ruhwedel stepped his game down this weekend in order to move up on the list. Your efforts did not go unnoticed; indeed, we salute you, sir. While many a Lowell goalie (ok, only two) have been laughed out of the state for their recurring roles in this thread; it is time we look deeper at their problems because often it is not of their own doing that the end up here. Ruhwedel, presumably known on the streets as 'the enabler', rocked the Tsongas Arena to the tune of a minus four effort in a 4-3 loss to Merrimack in game one. Minus four! F-O-U-R. For those following at home, that is every freaking goal! The fact that he added a minus one the following night is almost irrelevant. He could have cured cancer and shaved sasquatch's back this weekend and he would still have ended up in this spot.
 
Re: Hockey East: Rookie of the Weak

Stevie.....ur gig here doesnt seem to be getting much attention this week...so I'll give it a little luv . Good to see one ofthe good guyz finally get some attenshun. As much as I dont think Sully did much to help himself out last weekend against you thugs from Boston, he didnt geta helluva lot of puck luck either...but thats the game sometimes. I still think Darling's been screwed even though hes not a rookie and no longer playing. His antics certainly deserve some sort of honorable absentee mention, dontchya think ?:D

Matt Nieto - F, bu - If his roster was a thanksgiving plate, Nieto would be the cranberry sauce - because he is the only thing that is cold (tangent: would yankeefat still eat him?). This struggling terrier is stuck on two goals for the season and is a prime reason the team has only one win in their last 6 games (ok, it hasnt helped that the schedule no longer includes the walking dead). Nieto, a freshman in the college of underachievement and mediocrity (CUM) followed up his breakout one goal performance against UNH with a zero point, minus 3 dud against the Brown Bears

Shayne Thompson - F, UML - Calm down, calm down. I know what you are thinking.. Lowell has forwards? I was actually surprised too. But you don't win twice as many games as Vermont without at least some warm bodies posing as forwards. That said, I am more likely to believe that F is his grade rather than his position as his season stats stand at 1 goal, 2 assists and minus 12 through 13 games. fun fact: thompson is only 7 days younger than last year's ncaa goal scoring leader. Thompson makes the list after a minus four weekend against mankato and a generally all around bad performance including one two minute minor that produced the game winning goal for the Mavericks.

Marc Boulanger – G, UML - I have to apologize in advance because the Boulanger entries are going to get shorter and shorter (just like the days) as I am basically running out of jokes for this guy. Never in a million years did I anticipate consecutive cal ripken would run away with this thing so early. You know things are bad for Boulanger when his buddy Carr gives up 7 goals on the weekend and doesnt even make this list. Anyway, breadbaker takes the checkered flag this week after giving up 4 goals through 25 minutes (3 of which were in 3:45) in game one against the Mankato Mavericks. He was pulled after that and unfortunately denied the chance to go for a snowman. As much as we would like to attribute this effort to too much turkey, Boulanger is an ungrateful Canadian and gets no such exemption.


Dishonorable mention: Nick Sorkin, Doug Carr, Chad Ruhwedel
 
Re: Hockey East: Rookie of the Weak

This thing is rigged:D otherwise we would see BC freshman forward Patrick Brown who through 12 games has 1/3rd of this weeks second star Shayne Thompson. Although I suspect Shayne gets the nod for the clever spelling of his first name.
 
Re: Hockey East: Rookie of the Weak

I'm sure our friend Cody will make an appearance here soon enough if he continues the tear he's on. 1 semester, 1 point.

I think this thread would be better if it were impartial. I know the "pinhead motto" is "BC über alles", but there's nothing wrong with viewing your team with a critical eye. These write-ups are some of the best stuff Steve's posted; I just think it would be better if it were all-encompasing.

I bet if I started a BC player of the Weak people would like it better. Alas, I don't have SteveF's writing skills.

while i add cumulative statistics into the write up, the award is based solely on the weekly performance. if Brown were to ever go -3 or -4 in a weekend, he would most certainly make the list. the absence of points alone is not necessarily the end all be all for consideration.. especially if the player is even or better

he was close, trust me. nieto was also minus 3 at home against brown and edged him out based on the mystery hype factor. if UNH had a blog declaring that sorkin would be the next sydney ovechkin he would might gotten it.
