Re: Northeastern Huskies 2018-19: New Breed, Old Snarl
While i do not believe this is the greatest NU team of all time, this is easily the greatest testament to the Madigan coaching regime ever. Incredible season and job by the players and staff considering what they lost and what theyve accomplished. First double championship year since 1988, and coming as a three seed to win Hockey East.
Primeau is a superstar, Davies is a superstar, but beyond them, think about who contributed to get us here. Madden, Hawkins, Filipe, Solow in the playoffs. Schule, Griffin, Plevy in the Beanpot. This team doesnt rely on one or two players to score and advance and win. Every player can contribute and thats what makes them great. Tonight they came out hot and held off BC when it matters. Old NU breaks and loses the game. New NU holds and claims the trophy.
They deserve to be here. The Big Four and the Old Guard is dead. The Huskies have commanded their spot at the table of Hockey East Elite. Congrats to Jim, his staff, his players. What an accomplishment.
