Northeastern Huskies 2015-2016 Part Duex: Enjoy the Ride at the Gahden Party!

Re: Northeastern Huskies 2015-2016 Part Duex: Enjoy the Ride at the Gahden Party!

Not that the polls matter anymore, but where do you think they are ranked in the USCHO Poll today. Up from 14 to what? 8?

A little late to the party here. Congratulations. Unbelievable.

I sure do hope they get Madigan a contract extension!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My beef with Madigan is that in the beginning of every season his teams are not prepared. They play like they are confused out there. This has been the best turnaround I have ever witnessed but I would like to start the season off better prepared. I think this freshman class we have now is very special and will pave the way for how Madigan coached teams play. One major item Madigan has addressed is depth, which is a luxury we not had in many years. Playing with 4 solid and talented lines has been key on this run. Go Dawgs!

There is a legitimate beef to have with Madigan.
Sure, the team just won Hockey East. Sure, they just exceeded all expectations.

But when you start the past two seasons the way they have, he deserves some criticism. I mean the starts have been putrid. At or just around the Beanpot it seemed like it was just going to be "another year".

Madigan has rightly, rightfully given credit to the players for the turnaround. Hopefully this isn't just a determined group providing a blip on the radar for the program as a whole.

Patriots also always start out poorly. Maidigan is the new Bill Belichick.

Charlie, there's no accounting (Pun intended) for the way the voters do or don't give credit for current accomplishments. At this point in the drama, I doubt the players or coaches care about anything except the final scores of the games they are involved in or affected by.

But since the polls at this time of the year are based on a larger amount of data, #8 seems reasonable. I wouldn't mind a lower ranking if it causes the "Fighting Predators" to become overconfident. Let's hope you will have reason to ask the same question next Monday.:)

This was done last summer - but only through 2017. He has earned an extended extension (and a raise).

Started 10-0 last season
2014 started 9-2
2013 started 8-2, won first 6
2012 started 7-3, 3 losses by a combined 4 points
2011 started 5-1, loss was by field goal
2010 started 6-1
2009 started 3-1 were 6-2 after 8
2008 started 5-2
2007 started 18-0

In above 9 seasons were in first place in division in all but 3 weeks out of over 90 weeks

Real slow starters

Just because they don't lose Dec on doesn't mean they don't start well

I remember all the posts about how Madigan turtles against other, 'better' coaches. "He gets his hat handed to him" HOW DID ThAT WORK OUT FOR YA???? IN JIM WE TRUST!!!

Huskies up to 9, North Dakota at 3. Have to think this is the best first round match-up. It's cool that it kicks the tournament off, just wish it was a little later on Friday.

NU moved up to #9 and moved up one spot in the pair-wise to #13...they beat BC and UML and MOVE UP ONE SPOT??? Awful. Notre Dame, BU and UML all ahead. LIFE MAKES NO SENSE. Before the tourney-- we sat 6th in HE pairwise-- we WIN THE **** TOURNEY-- and still sit 6th. UGGGGGG
