Northeastern Huskies 2017-18 Season Thread Part II: My Dog's Better Than Your Dog

Re: Northeastern Huskies 2017-18 Season Thread Part II: My Dog's Better Than Your Do

they def were off tonight. but this class, these guys won the Hockey East Championship 2016, NCAA, Beanpot 2018, NCAA.. its getting better...The hockey experience has gotten so much better, we have 2 Hobey finalists. Its heading right.

I agree with all of this and will cherish many fond memories from this season. But I'll also have to take a pause once in awhile to imagine what might have been.

Here is something to ponder. We beat bu 3 out of 3 times outscoring them 15 to 4. Then we took 2 out of 3 from bc. That is a huge accomplishment. Took the Beanpot. So what we lost in the tournament, it was a great game.

WOW! This is the exact type of thought that Madigan has been trying to get rid of.

Get some perspective. This program has made 6 NCAA tournaments and 2 of them have come since 2016. We lost a close games to a Frozen Four team. It is what it is.

We also have a great recruiting pipeline and top recruits from Mass. picking us over the Comm Ave. powerhouses. Adam Gaudette is from Braintree and he came here instead of BU or BC, that would NEVER have happened 10 years ago.

We've had three Hobey finalists in the past 4 years and are pumping out NHL players. The signs are pointing up.

Sikura went from 11 scratches as a freshman to 110 points in 2 seasons. ZAR went from meh to Hobey finalist. Gaudette went from 30 to 60 points in three years. Would not shock me to see someone like Filipe or Hawkins explode out of nowhere and we have Tyler Madden coming in who is PPG nearly as a USHL rookie.

The game vs. Mich is a one-game sample size. The last 4 seasons have beem a MASSIVE accomplishment after Cronin left. Madigan has the program in a better spot than it ever was under Cronin, whose best team choked in the Beanpot and blew two-goal leads in the NCAAs and HEA Tournament.
