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

What a difference a day makes. They are poring it on in a statement now! It's such a good product on the ice this year and a great value. I mean I know out at UMASS Amherst the students can see the games for free, I just wish people locally knew what they were missing this season, it's really great hockey here when they are firing on all cylinders. Any local youth teams interested in the game should take advantage of the old barn. Anyway barring a catastrophic turn of events, I will see you all at the Garden! Cheers

Some great passes setting up goals in the big win against UMass. Griffin's pass after he made it around the back of the net on his knees to Stevens was nothing short of amazing.

Check it out in the highlights https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mOtuCEG0NxU&t=at

That goal came late in the first period.

Haven't been able to comment much, car broke down on my way up on Friday so I've been distracted. Did get to both games however.

Friday- it was good to get kicked in the teeth and come out standing. That atmosphere was one of the best I can remember for playoffs since Jim took over, and arguably the best outside our homecoming BU games. UMass was the better team Friday. NU capitalized on the powerplay, a second we should, and that was the difference. The PK in the third immediately before Sikura's goal was a perfect example of a kill giving a team momentum. They took UMass' best punch and stood tall. They earned that win. They weathered the upstart storm. Side note- Joel Quennville and his staff were in attendance in our section. So Sikura and Shea had an audience. I wonder if they knew. Dylan was playing with his hair on fire.

Saturday- domination. From the drop of the puck, I was never nervous. Big players played big- Davies, Stevens, Gaudette, Sikura. Primeau large when we needed it. Excellent games from Griffin, Hawkins, Lerario, Schultz. UMass likes to talk almost as much as their fans. It's nice to see them put in their place. They'll be good next year if everyone returns. They're on the upswing.

Survive and advance in March. That's what it's all about. On to the Garden and Providence. Gotta beat two of the titans to claim the trophy. They can do it.

Just ran the numbers and if my math is right this senior class started 17-27-6 and then went 62-26-12. Just remarkable. Time to make a couple more memories the next few weeks.
 
Re: Northeastern Huskies 2017-18 Season Thread Part II: My Dog's Better Than Your Do

I think my might have to go watch the first game as well on Friday.

I’m about to buy tickets. Could somebody please tell me which sections are NU sections?

Based on where we've sat for the Beanpot (our Beanpot:D) Loge sections 8-12 on the lower level. The upper level directly above that area has been where the students have been lodged.

For the balcony the final NU section is 329, and then we are in the sections in descending number from there. So I'd wager approx. 320-329 is NU

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

Sikura and Gaudette both make the Hobey Top Ten. 3 goaltenders also make it, and only one defenseman.
 
Re: Northeastern Huskies 2017-18 Season Thread Part II: My Dog's Better Than Your Do

The Hobey Top Ten:

Henrik Borgstrom, Forward, Denver
Ryan Donato, Forward, Harvard
Matthew Galajda, Goalie, Cornell
Adam Gaudette, Forward, Northeastern
Dylan McLaughlin, Forward, Canisius
Cale Morris, Goalie, Notre Dame
Colton Point, Goalie, Colgate
Jimmy Schuldt, Defenseman, St. Cloud State
Dylan Sikura, Forward, Northeastern
C.J. Suess, Forward, Minnesota State

My take is that Gaudette is the clear favorite at this point although Donato will draw support based on pedigree and his Olympic stint. Lots of things can change between now and Awards Night, though.
 
Re: Northeastern Huskies 2017-18 Season Thread Part II: My Dog's Better Than Your Do

I could see a final three of Gaudette, Borgstrom and Donato. But yes, Gaudette should easily win this.
 
Re: Northeastern Huskies 2017-18 Season Thread Part II: My Dog's Better Than Your Do

IMO it's going to be Gaudette, Donato (because MERICA and stuff) and Morris. Best goaltender this season, with high SV% + high shots faced. I could see Schuldt take the spot of Donato if they want a defenseman, or if they penalize Donato for his low games-played amount.
 
Re: Northeastern Huskies 2017-18 Season Thread Part II: My Dog's Better Than Your Do

they already made a mistake by not choosing him for the U.S. Olympic team.. (although we @ NU can live with that, happily .. as can Adam :) ) ..
hope similar mistake doesn't happen again. Best to him! Gaudette for Hobey, all the way.
