Northeastern Huskies 2017-18: Every Dog Has its Day

It's not just for goalies, it's for everyone. It's supposed to take the subjectivity of intent out of the officials hands.

The greedy part of me was a little bummed they didn't get the win last night, but overall taking 2 of 3 from Lowell and both from bu 3 weekends in a row, two of the presumptive top teams in the conference, I can't complain about that. As Madigan said they're still a work in progress and I think last night showed that a bit.

BC is a work in progress too and looking forward to the weekend matchup.

We have no snipers like NU but the team is starting to play well and on top in Hockey East despite a brutal OCC record 🍟🍕🌭

Want to see if BC can matchup with NU this year despite their shortcomings on offense

Wasn't able to watch last night but this is my 2 cents as well. Sounds like Lowell outplayed NU and NU just didn't show up well. Hope Primeau is ok. 4 out of 5 from Lowell and BU, locking down 8 points before getting into the weaker part of the schedule (which starts after this next weekend IMO) is huge.
 
forget about BC for a moment.. we have Vermont first, which is a feisty team & will be looking for points after their loss to the Eagles. Friday first. Go Huskies

I like it. Good theme for both the team and fan base to carry through the week. #FridayFirst
 
Re: Northeastern Huskies 2017-18: Every Dog Has its Day

Not really too worked up over that loss. Lowell plays tough and it appears NU fired a ton of shots in PD 2 and only had one score to show for it. The third goal was a softie but we've seen worse. Game 3 for Garret Cockerill not dressing. Two calls on Lowell for hitting Primeau. Was that a strategy all night?
 
just tells me that while Primeau is playing better (as he did Fri).. would be good to get a tandem going as I dont think Ruck lets in goal #3 Saturday.. i mean, Cayden is a freshman and slow & steadily easing him into HE play might be the better strategy versus back to back just yet. He is certainly playing better but that 3rd goal was eerily reminiscent of the Q gm; so work to be done.
Hope Ruck is feeling better & can see some action soon. Perhaps they each get a gm this wknd.. would be the ideal way to go if Ryan is healthy.
 
Re: Northeastern Huskies 2017-18: Every Dog Has its Day

Hearing from a reliable source that, barring any unforeseen complication, Ruck should be good to go this week.

that is great to hear, thx.
any update on Sikura? We could def use him as well versus 2 hungry teams.

edit: he was def missed in the last lowell gm.

Up to12 in the USCHO poll. Good weekend against UVM and BC should propel us into top 10 consideration. UVM is a very winnable game, and to be honest we should win it. BC stacks up as a closer match, but given their scoring woes I think NU should be favored. Will have a preview of both teams in a few days.
 
I see BC as a young, talented team (much like the Terriers were/ are).. & I am hoping the team can handle that to an extent. BC teams always have good team speed.

The Vermont team (my opinion), is/ will be the more dangerous, feisty bunch. It is critical we play 60 minutes & not take them for granted at all.
Go Huskies

These polls really aren't exactly fake news, but they are headed that way.

Incidentally, The UML announcer kept commenting about how Cayden was recovering from a concussion he got a week ago. Now that was fake news. His team was doing its best to see that he got another. Perhaps these cheapshots should be rewarded with at least 5 minutes of contemplation in the sinbin without the possibility of parole. A second goalie interference penalty by any member of the same team might earn both 5 minutes and a game misconduct. We protect vulnerable QBs. Why not give serious protection to Goaltenders?
 
Re: Northeastern Huskies 2017-18: Every Dog Has its Day

Like him, I feel if we get a goaltending tandem going... or even if one gets hot (and we have 2 that are very capable of going on a run, finger crossed no more injuries).. can hopefully make some noise not just now but late season & after as well.

thx for posting, good read.
 
Re: Northeastern Huskies 2017-18: Every Dog Has its Day

Through trusted sources I hear Ruck, Sikura and Cockerill will be back this weekend. Nice to get all 3 back for a big weekend with 4 points up for grabs, 2 of which will be against a hot BC team riding a 5 game win streak. It helps we will have them on Saturday after they travel to UNH to play on Friday. Hopefully the boys are ready and don't look past Vermont and take back some momentum Friday night. I am interested to see who gets the start, but feel like Jim will give each RR and CP a start this weekend unless someone really shines Friday night.
