Re: Northeastern at Boston University 12/8
I care. Almost more than I cared about this past weekend (lying).
The BU squad needs to learn from its mistakes and come out strong.
NU beat Merrimack (can't believe I'm writing this) so they're not to be underestimated.

Re: Northeastern at Boston University 12/8
As a NU fan I dont know what is worse. Playing bu when they are on a roll, or playing them after they got their behinds handed to them against their biggest rival. Great game to be walking into.
I guess the one plus for NU right now is that might be facing the weakest goalie in Hockey East, which for a team that can barely get two goals in a game, is just what the doctor ordered.
On the other hand, outside of the 1-0 NU win at Matthews last year, bu has owned NU since Cronin took over. For whatever reason, NU has more success against BC then they do bu.
My favorite is watching bu on the PP. All of NU knows that bu loves to score on the PP via the backdoor play against NU, everyone but the players that is. It gets a bit frustrating to watch time and time again.
But for NU right now the senior line is doing all the scoring, the freshmen dmen have been outstanding, check out # 6 Oleksiak, kinda hard to miss him at 6-7 and the kid has been the best dman for NU this year, and is playing like a potential #1 draft pick this spring. I dont think he is even 18 yet. Bitetto has had his moments to and of late has been not been shy shooting the puck. Rawlings has been outstanding this year, but bu lit him up those last two games last year that cost NU a playoff spot.
NU has been giving up the first goal alot lately, so I expect the same thing on Wednesday. Most of the time they give up the first two goals, and then storm back for a tie. That probably wont work in this game though. I would guess bu 5 - nu 2. bu gets straightened out a bit and NU goes into the break with some time to heal and get ready for what should be a nice schedule for a home ice run in January.

Rollheiser is the weakest goalie in Hockey East because....
he beat the #3 team in the country two weeks ago?

Re: Northeastern at Boston University 12/8
These two things should be the other way around. Aside from the BC games, both of BU's goalies have been great this year. And even with the recent struggles, BU is still head and shoulders above Maine and UML in net.
The PP, however, has been horrendous. Back door, front door, side door, it doesn't really matter. BU can't score on the PP.
NU's been playing well lately after a tough start, while BU was kind of riding in the middle of the road for a month before being driven off it and into a ditch by BC. I don't know what to expect in this game. I could see a close game or I could see a blowout by either team. Should be interesting to see how BU responds with the quick turnaround.

Re: Northeastern at Boston University 12/8
Not entirely unintentional. I could've said "BU sucks on the PP" (which is still one of my favorite signs ever).

that kid is a beast, I didn't realize he was a Freshman, he could be something great for you guys down the road.

Re: Northeastern at Boston University 12/8
I almost always park on Pleasant St in Brookline across from the arena.
It runs perpendicular to Comm Ave and you can park on the side of the street that faces Boston.
It's free, close and I've never gotten a ticket.
If you can get there around 5 PM you might just get a metered spot on Comm Ave. Bring 4 quarters for that.
See you all there. Hopefully they get it together.

NU's gonna sneak up on a lot of teams. Solid team if they play their game, imo.

As a devout BU fan, I think these next two games are really, really important.

Re: Northeastern at Boston University 12/8
These mid week games are odd. I actually walked halfway to the T this morning before I realized that I was supposed to drive in. I hope that's not a sign of things to come tonight. Maybe it's too soon after the weekend but I don't know what to think about this game.
