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

I wonder how much money Hockey East brings in through streaming payments for the playoffs. Is it more of a way to get people to go to the games instead of watching from home? I don't really get it.

Anyway...
Go Huskies!

Is the crowd really as bad as it sounds on the radio?
 
lots of umass fans.. not so much nu with spring break around. umass just tied it on some nu puck watching. 2 wks off & we cannot put 20 mins together. credit to umass.
playoffs.. playoffs!
 
as i've said before.. the 2 wks off can be boon or curse depending on several factors. watching this team tonight, no rhythm, no doubt they are out of sync. god bless us.

Yikes the 2 week hiatus appears to have effected all of the top seeds who are all struggling a bit tonight. I must say that HE playoffs are never easy and we did have that bad game against UMASS in the middle of the season. We haven't looked this bad since late November or early Dec. I paid the $10 bucks to watch this and it looked, well it looked not good. I will take the W. Will try and go tomorrow.

I thought 9 was our best player all night long. I made a comment during the game that it's amazing how many times he has the puck and he does exactly what he's trying to do with it. There is no indecision, no hope plays. The kid really is a magician with the puck.

Sikura really is a delight to watch. At the rink, you can focus on him and see all of the things he does that don’t show up on the scoresheet, but help his mates to get into better position to score. He made a pass tonight that set up Gaudette for a one timer that was stopped by Wischow. If it was possible to earn an assist without a goal being scored, he would have deserved one.

on our only PP.. he made a split second decision, where the Umass defender challenged him at the blue line, & either stripped him off the puck.. or he lost it (and i am thinking, 'shortie'!.. here we go NU, we going to give up the shortie..guy is gone.. streaking other way by himself ..

split second later, Sikura realized what had just happened 'right in that moment' there at blue line.. gets the puck back from the guy who is thinking wow, open ice.. i'm gone.. & Sikura was behind him by then!.. got puck back, and our powerplay continues.. gotta be the hands :-)

I'm guessing not all that much in either case. It's a pure (and shameful) money grab by HE, much like having all teams make the "playoffs" instead of just the top 8.

best to women's hockey today. tall task ahead, no doubt (as was hockey east championship which you overcame).. yet 1 win away from a frozen four.
you've already had a good finish in H.E. nothing to lose, leave it all out there.
all the best!
