Northeastern Huskies 2019-20: Reloaded...and Still in Love with Stacy's Mom

As has been pointed out, probably something did happen on the overseas road trip. Prob bound to happen in ones’s career in one form or another - it’s called learning while growing up ; better sooner than later.

will be a good lesson & experience and kid will be better off in the long run. He absolutely had confidence of HC as well, who took him over to the NESN studios in between periods of the Bruins game Thursday night. He was presented as Captain to Billy Jaffe & he presented himself and the program well, laying out goals for the Dartmouth gm and beyond.

Far as wearing any jersey with A or C or what have you, prob was a price to be paid for whatever happened, and he has paid it. Good kid & holidays coming at a good time so leave it all in this year & gear up for 2nd half. Happy Holidays! 🙂
 
Re: Northeastern Huskies 2019-20: Reloaded...and Still in Love with Stacy's Mom

Some extracts from Diehard Dogs postings re what's happening in the pipeline:

----“Team USA won the Bronze Medal in the World Jr. A Challenge, defeating the Czech Republic 2-1 in OT. Gunnarwolfe Fontaine was pretty much the offensive star of the US team with 5-5-10 in six games. Sam Colangelo chipped in with 1-1-2, also in six.”

----“…Currently, we have 4 guys in the top 15 in scoring in the USHL. Ty Jackson is sitting at 27 points, in fourth place in total scoring, 3 points behind the league leaders...His brother Dylan is right behind him at 26 points going for 11-15-26. Sam Colangeo at 12-12-24, followed by teammate Gunnarwolfe at 12-10-22. Those four figure to have starting spots locked in for next season.”

----“…guys more than a year away who are doing quite well would be Jack Hughes who is a point per game guy for the US-17. Ryan St.Louis…has not been as prolific scoring, but seems to be progressing nicely…Nate Haney is playing at a half-point per game clip in Cedar Rapids…Matt Choupani is doing a little better then Nate in his first season in the USHL going for 10-8-18 in 25 games…”

While we're on the subject of recruit progress, Justin Hrychowian was doing well in Cedar Rapids until being injured about a month ago. AFAIK, he'll be back after the Christmas break. He is still expected on campus next fall. Stanley Cooley is still just 17 but is among the top 4 scorers on a strong team with a line of 34-9-21-30-46 and was one of 8 players in Alberta chosen for the CJHL Top Prospects game. Jack Williams in Muskegon doesn't have a big scoring line, but has a terrific PR person. There's a flattering article in The NE Hockey Journal about what a sterling human being he seems to be. Well, I suppose we need a few of those blended in with the rest of the gang. BTW, He's from York, ME, and has been an offensive force on his previous teams. It's not at all unusual for a younger player entering the USHL to take a year or more to adjust to the stronger level of play. Lastly, Ross Mitton, has been trade to the Omaha Lancers and seems to be doing nicely. He's reputed to play a rugged style of hockey. I suspect that he may be the kind of player who needs to be seen to be appreciated.

Incidentally, Matt Choupani, who played for Lac St. Louis, where Davies and Bucheler preceded him, scored a hat trick earlier this month. The other interesting item involves Gunnarwolfe (which one, you ask.;)) seems to have a Solow-like knack for scoring big goals that tie a game in the last minutes, or win important games in OT! Those dog piles can be dangerous! We were fortunate to get his big sister Schuyler. who is a high scoring junior D for our ladies team. She may be good enough to play for the Men's team - as she did in high school. We may have to call on her if we lose anyone else to an injury.

Dartmouth recap/A look at where things stand in the conference and national picture halfway through

https://northeasternhockeyblog.com/recaps/huskies-down-dartmouth-end-first-half-in-contention/

thx for putting the work into this.
have they been above expectations for rebuild type season (yeah sorta, with 11 W at halfway point, winning some (t'giving) holiday hardware; kinda nice!). have they left opportunities on the table (hc, mc ties), hurting their pwr, maybe staying around the pairwise bubble.?. also yes.

with a solid 2nd half can they overcome it? not sure this is the year...
then again, that's why they play the games. :) Go NU

Question, but what has happened to Goldstein? He had a good freshman year and has disappeared.

I read the most recent blog article that cites the defensive corps injuries and have the very same question re. Villella (well, I can't confirm his level of play other than to say that he played fairly regularly as a frosh). Could they both be injured?
 
Re: Northeastern Huskies 2019-20: Reloaded...and Still in Love with Stacy's Mom

...what has happened to Goldstein?...

I...have the very same question re Villella...

So far as I know, both have been healthy scratches all year...which means they've been bumped down in the depth chart. I suspect Goldstein might get bumped up should something unforeseen make any of the forwards unavailable. And I'm as puzzled as anyone else re Villella.

Right, I just don't see how Villella is behind Carrabino on the depth chart, but that's just me. But being familiar with him from his youth hockey days down here in FL, I'd venture to say perhaps he needs to hit the weight room.

I. too, been wondering about the status of these gentlemen. Goldstein was showing improvement after he returned from a broken wrist(?) and Villela showed potential. I would have expected him to play ahead of Carrabino or Murphy. I will poke around a bit, but with the team and coaches scattered for the next two weeks, I won't hold my breath.

Jerry,
So many rules have been put in place to protect the players' privacy that the coaches practically deny even knowing the players when they are injured. The most you can get is "upper body injury" or something similar unless some has broken his leg in front of a game crowd. Occasionally, someone source goes out on a limb by saying, "He should be back sometime before ….graduation".
Perhaps in a place like Grand Forks or Orono, where the local college team is the biggest (only) game in the area code, the story gets leaked out along with a bunch of other things that should never leave the locker room. Not so in Boston!

It turns out that Mr. Goldstein played in pain for much of last season due to a nagging injury that apparently didn't heal properly. He underwent surgery to correct the problem. Since half the season is gone, it has been decided to that he will "redshirt" this season and return next year as a R-junior. Hopefully he uses this year to add some muscle, which will help him next year in the role of "disruptor" where his speed is most useful. OTOH, Mr. Villela's absence has been a coach's decision.

Expect to see some or all of the injured D corps on the ice in early January. As for Pantano, the feeling is that he has played very well, even in the game vs. bu. He gave up a couple of softies against Dartmouth, but overall the guys seem to have the kind of confidence in him that allows them to play the speed game that they prefer. I'd give him an A- if I were handing out the mid-term grades.

TMM are you compiling the rankings?

The matter of the next goalie recruit is being attended to.

Happy Chanukah and then a Merry Christmas to all.

Thanks for following up, HHound. Obviously you're not at liberty to share how Villella got sideways on the depth chart, but surely he must be considered a transfer risk at this point, even though he's too old to go back to the USHL for game experience.

As for a goalie recruit, one candidate could be Thomas Gale who recently decommitted from Dartmouth. Both he and Scarpa went to the same prep school.

It seems to me that I read somewhere that bu is interested in him. They lose their Yalie and there backups haven't shown that they can be play at the D1 level consistently. bu may wish to bring him in after Chriistmas. I recall, perhaps five years ago, when BC had several goalie injuries, they also brought in a boy (Milosz?) from the Jr. Bruins. He played one or two games until the primary goalie returned - and I never heard of him playing again for the next 3+ years. I hope he parlayed his scholarship into a useful education and degree.

Purpura came midseason last year

Milosz was as described except BC. Believe he’s with Worcester ECHL now

Per Jeff Cox, BU decided on the goalie from the AJHL and passed on Gale. So Gale may still be available for next fall, unless I misunderstood what you meant by "The matter of the next goalie recruit is being attended to."
