Re: Northeastern Huskies 2017-18: Every Dog Has its Day
The good- +20 shot differential. Clean PK. <20 sog allowed, one goal allowed.
The bad- score ones. Powerplay empty.
UNH better carry Tirone and his bags and buy him dinner this weekend. He stole that point. This was super frustrating to watch.
EDIT: Forgot the UNH goal was a powerplay. Strike that from the good part.

Unlucky. Execution not there, but mainly just unlucky. We were clearly the better team.

not to mention, we also do not look like the team with any edge going into the beanpot... not that we ever should have been, given our fortunes in the tourney..
still; 2 wknds (and 3 OT gms) ago... i would've said there was some validity to our chances. Not anymore. Going to have to play smart, hard nosed hockey & earn it; one gm at a time.

Re: Northeastern Huskies 2017-18: Every Dog Has its Day
Defense and goaltending were supposed to be the weak links in this team but have turned out to be anything but. Agree that offense is getting its chances but, starting with the UConn game, opponents have taken to clogging the slot to block the shooting lanes, and it has been successful. Puck luck has also not been going NU's way, as witness Gaudette's stick breaking while shooting into an open net and pucks that wouldn't settle spoiling otherwise good shots.
That being said, they seem to be playing tight and trying to be too careful. Put another way, I'm just not seeing the swagger and edge they showed earlier in the year. Hope they find those two things by Monday night.

Find those lanes, make the simple plays, get pucks on net
rest will take care of itself. Here's hoping

btw, the 'looseness; / having fun also goes for Primeau..
before he won his Hockey East accolades, was playing/ saving with a certain confidence & swagger.. the OT goal against the Friars, couple other instances with the puck lying loose.. he gets those if he just plays with the calmness that won him those honors just about month/ 6 weeks ago. He has it.. just needs to find it.
Go Huskies

JM brutally blunt in the post game presser. Called guys out ("...those guys know who they are...I told them") and expressed concerns about mindset.

Re: Northeastern Huskies 2017-18: Every Dog Has its Day
We are not only in a chase for 1st place in Hockey East, but we are also in a 6 team battle for 4 home ice spots and 5 1st round bye spots. If Maine and Lowell win their game in hand, we are looking at 6 teams separated by 4 points.
Us and the terriers have the "easiest" schedules remaining of the 6 teams, but we know that series in Vermont is going to be a really tough one for us. There are no easy games, and even when you outplay your opponent the result isn't guaranteed. That said the last few weeks should be pretty crazy.

Just listening to his comments now. I haven't heard him be that candid in a very long time

Re: Northeastern Huskies 2017-18: Every Dog Has its Day
Normally I go tonight but I said to myself I am only getting the tix on Championship night this year. Don't want to jinx it. They played pretty well but Primeau really looked every bit of what has been said about him in the press. If he gets hot down then stretch and a few kids that Jim called out answer the bell, who knows how far they can go. We can't look ahead on to the UCONN game which was arguably their worst outing down in Storrs. However I can't remember a season where we played BC this well 2x in one season. Anyway BC looked frustrated and chippy at the final whistle and that is what good goal tending can do. Will enjoy this for tonight!
