Northeastern Huskies 2018-19: New Breed, Old Snarl

Re: Northeastern Huskies 2018-19: New Breed, Old Snarl

I watched on TV and I am not 100% certain we were the better team for 51% of the minutes. That said, CP was the better goalie 100% of the time and we got a shorty and O when we needed it! Good enough for 3rd place, I really didn't think they would win 23 games in the reg. season (the same # we won last year). Is CP the best goalie NU has ever seen? I think so, as this is shutout # 4 or #5 right? On to the tournament. We win a couple there and I think we lock up a NCAA bid next week!

Senior Night, done right.. thank you team!
They weren't perfect.. but they didn't have to be, tonight.


Go have some serious fun in the playoffs. Go NU :)

Not the prettiest win in program history but Mission Accomplished! Suddenly feeling less frustrated about the Yukon and Mack losses since IMO they get a better draw finishing 3rd than they would have by finishing second. Now it's time to punch a ticket to another Garden Party.

Classy move by JM to insert Ryan Ruck for the last four minutes even though Primeau was pitching a shutout.

You will play Maine. I bet you can gould us into penalties. Easy win. Terrible to listen.
 
Re: Northeastern Huskies 2018-19: New Breed, Old Snarl

you guys have swayman & without the pressures of home, will give us a good series.
how good.. remains to be seen. you beat umass & providence last month.. no way we taking you lightly.

edit: and don't you have a gm tomorrow night, first? :)..

Didn't get to watch. Seeing the score, love it. Seeing the scorers, love it even more. Seeing the shots, don't love it but I imagine score effects played a role. Awesome stuff locking up #3 and a series against Maine, who in my preferred opponent of the possible teams.

Two years in a row Primeau has pitched a shutout on senior night and gotten pulled before he could play enough to get the credit in the box score. I hope these two instances don't come back to bite him in the record books

Well, his name is not Kyrie Irving so I'm pretty sure CP gets it that it's not all about him. Like the Bruins, this NU team seems to play as a team with players who play for each other. That has a lot to do with NU's finishing tied for second in league play and knocking on the door of another NCAA dance in what was supposed to be something of an off-year.

NU won a league championship with RR and I'm sure he made his share of contributions to the recent successes by taking lots of pucks in practice. So not going to begrudge him 4:02 of playing time in his last regular season game.

Maine putting a whacking on BU to deny BU home ice. They'll be primed and ready come Friday night...

Whatever happened to the "Red Must Go" thread? And I'd expect to see a lot of blue in the Matthews seats. Not much to do in Maine in March.

Congratulations to NU Women's Hockey on their OT win in the Hockey East Championship game over BC this afternoon. Way to go!

Reds days are numbered and its still a general sentiment.
Thinking about travelling there and catching saturdays game, would you expect a full house? Are students on break?

you should be able to walk up to the ticket window & get seats. i will not be surprised if this goes 3 gms. Maine, always tough competition. Hope my Huskies continue the grind.

Students are back but that doesn't necessarily mean a sellout although with the women playing an NCAA first round game vs Cornell in the afternoon, hockey interest is high and some of the afternoon crowd might stay for NU-Maine. Even with that, I'd estimate that there will be plenty of seats available in the lower bowl. If you're driving, pay parking ($22 IIRC) is available in the garage directly adjacent to Matthews. Free parking is available in the Columbus Garage, which is about a 7-minute walk. The Columbus Garage is on Columbus Ave. directly across from the NUPD HQ (716 Columbus). (The PD is easy to spot because of the blue lantern-like lights at the front entrance.)

Saturday is the biggest day at Matthews in a loooong time. The women play to go to the Frozen Four and the men play in the HE playoffs (and maybe to go the Garden).

Pretty sure NU has the highest ranked cumaltive men's and women's hockey programs currently.

Thanks for the parking tip. On the sides which are better seats the lower bowl or upper section.

I'm partial to the upper deck but there is obstructions in any row if you are not front row. So if that's something you'd want to avoid being boxed into, lower bowl is your best bet. The opposing fans tend to sit in sections 27-29
