Well that may have been one of their best games this season. Seldom do you find me up early the day after Thanksgiving but I think we are stating to GEL! I am not so sure UNH is a very good team but we looked awesome today especially in Transition and pretty much stayed out of the box there were like 3 or 4 NU penalties and one drew the UNH player at the same time so we only skated a man down for 6 mins. We had been a little undisciplined early in the season but I think the frustration of learning a new system and playing with new line mates has been dissipating these last few weeks. Anyway we need some quality wins after the break because our Pairwise sucks at 22. Mostly based on SOS, however HE may realistically only send one or two teams to the ice dance this year. Anyway, I know I have been a snake bitten NU fan and as a result its been 35 years of seeing the glass as half empty. However my attitude is starting to change this pm we sit atop the HE standings. We have blue chip recruits who may l actually pick us over both BC and BU, and we have drafted players in the wings and kids Huskies skating all over the pros from the NHL to Europe and doing so more than adequately. Finally, if you wind up as a student athlete you get a very valuable NU degree from a top 40 National University. This has arguably been the most successful 4 or 5 year span in the history of the program and I truly believe this tend is going to continue. I just wish the stands at Matthews were filled on occasion.
also very happy for Pantano pitching the shutout. granted he didn’t see all that much... but early, made the saves that were needed. glad we got him when we did and post primeau, has been mostly reliable. win or lose tomorrow, good memories & fun experience for him, I am sure.

Do not underestimate Colgate. They are better than their record indicates.
First hardware of the year.
yup & may not be that much more this season (who knows), this was going to be that kind of up and down year.
Now at least team gets to enjoy this memory & trip forever and more power to them.
ups & downs from finals game aside - that was a very unselfish; timely play by Filipe to Struble, to get things started. Nice work Huskies![]()
...may not be that much more this season (who knows), this was going to be that kind of up and down year...
...I disagree this may be the 1st of a lot of hardware.,,...they don't have the explosive O and goal tending that they have had over the last 2 or 3 seasons, but they may not need it. The D may actually be slightly better...
Bulletin! Cayden Primeau starts for MTL tonight vs Makar and COL
