Northeastern 2024-25: Last Days (Maybe) for the Old Barn

Happy to see Joe Connor's progress and Sigurdson answer the call.

Close game away..not thinking they will do much in the HE tourney but they could win 12 or 13 games which is way better than I expected. I think Quentin gets the pipes from here on in. However looking at additions and subtractions based on purely graduation and commits I don't really think we improve a ton but are a middle of the pack wild card. The portal and NIL only hurt a HE back water like NU..so it's going to be a tough road and the fact that the back side of Matthews is sinking into the South End mud is not helping us.
 
Per JK, Whitehead gets the start, at least on Friday.

Except for one juicy rebound that Lowell potted for the GWG, Sigurdson looked fairly good over the weekend so wondering if we might see a rotation for the rest of the year. BTW, that one Lowell goal should have been offset if the offense could only score consistently.

Unfortunately the top line is on a bit of a dry streak. In the last five games Lund only has 1 assist, Hryckowian has 1 goal, Williams has 2 goals in the lost to Harvard.

Rough for all your ppg players to fall apart when you have no depth.

Nice for Connor to step up in the first game and for erdman to get his first.
 
congrats to the northeastern huskies on the birth of your brand new power play. please dont murder it again.

pretty sure what was being done to it this year would be considered a war crime
 
WOW! Finally, some salve applied to a so-far painful season. But credit where it's due: Solid game from Whitehead (finally) especially in the early going; some quality snipes (even on the PP) and absolutely smothering defense, especially in the third period.

Probable sellout at Matthews on Saturday. Hoping Friday night was a prelude to nice things to come NU's way down the stretch.
 
Beating bu 5-1 on their own ice, while listening to the mumblings of Bernie Corbett, their forever play-by-play guy, was pure delight. It was as though the teams had exchanged uniforms. Enough said.
 
No loss ever feels good but a few are less painful than others, and last night's is one of them. Some Big Boy saves by Cameron Whitehead for starters; signs of life on both special teams; effective team defense throughout; and finally, some sustained o-zone time. OTOH, the DRritz slash with the extra attacker on was flat out inexcusable. All of that being said, this team could possibly be the one nobody wants to play in post-season but it's still an uphill slog, especially with some probable suspensions looming for next weekend.

Related observation: I'm an unabashed and consistent supporter of on-ice officials and know how difficult those jobs are, especially at the higher levels. But I've come to cringe when I see Steven Rouillard in anyone's game. Master of the ticky-tack; not so much of the flagrant and obvious, IMHO.
 
It's like a tale of two teams. However I agree with Split N. The team could be a spoiler. It's going to be a rough few years..until that new rink is built.
