Heisenberg has him pushed back a year. I wouldn't mind because he was more of a grinder and this might be a good opportunity to put up some points and skill, but with what we've lost I'd prefer him here this year.

I'd bet the house they'll finish 1-10.
Really went out on a limb there.

Re: Northeastern Huskies Offseason (Discipline: let's find it)
Wasn't saying I'm betting they finish there, obviously. I'm pointing out the fact that we are no different than 3 or 4 other HE teams this year, things come together and you can get home ice, nothing works out then you miss the playoffs. NE has always been a team of highs and lows, with little consistency, this year I think that will be even more evident. Everyone is expecting them to mail it in finish 7-8, and they could do that, and no one would think twice.

Again, the Doghouse is staying the Doghouse. Mad doghouse is just a play on words in response to the hire, nothing more.
I just wanted to say the Rawlings/Luongo comparison is dead on.
I too am optimistic about the season in spite of the chaotic past couple months. I'd like to see us challenging for 4th place and home ice in the HE QF, that may or may not be so I don't have to play $90 again.

Re: Northeastern Huskies Offseason (Discipline: let's find it)
Maybe it's my cynicism, but plucking Cody from bc and now this guy from the Q, does anyone else get the sense that something fishy might be going on in our recruiting other than poor phone plan management? I know I know this is baseless, it's just interesting that the past two off seasons we've gotten a guy who had previously committed to a team then magically switched.

Re: Northeastern Huskies Offseason (Discipline: let's find it)
I don't think so. Cody wanted more playing time and Manson is making a no brainer. Who would rather play for Qunnipiac in the ECAC instead of Northeastern in Hockey East?

Quinnipiac is in the ECAC.
Pure speculation, but I believe Manson came here for the chance to play this year. I think the Q had him for 2012, not positive though.

Oops, I'm multitasking. I meant the ECAC. Either way HE >>> ECAC. And the Q did have him for 2012. But he looks to be an offensivly skilled defenseman which makes sense since he was converted. He knows with our D corps depleted he'll get lots of playing time against top competition in arguably the best conference in the nation (WCHA).

Re: Northeastern Huskies Offseason (Discipline: let's find it)
Let me assuage your concerns. This is a case where the boy decommitted from the Q (Heisenberg missed that bit of history) BEFORE he called us to initiate and to inform us of his interest. We cleared the matter with the Q coach BEFORE we pursued the matter.
As it happens, this could be a great bit of recruiting and opportunism by Sebastien. The kid is big, rangy RD who can skate like a forward, which is what he was before last year. From what I can tell, he climbed the learning curve very quickly. By the time the playoffs rolled around he was considered the top D on his team when they played Vernon.
We need help on D and have only one other RD. He could be just what the Dr. ordered.
IIRC, he ws drafted - about 100 picks before Haar.
Incidentally, he comes with a pedigree as his father, Dave Manson, was a really hard-nosed NHL defenseman who had a lengthy and successful career with several NHL teams.

His numbers are from the BCHL, so let's take that with a grain of salt as that is a "fun and gun" league, something that steve spurrier would enjoy watching

Jesus, don't make me re-live the horror. Of course who am I to complain, it's poor Patrick Ramsey who had to get murdered every play. Regardless, good this late in the game to get a 6th rounder.

Re: Northeastern Huskies Offseason (Discipline: let's find it)
Heisenberg often reports useful and accurate information so it is a valuable resource. However, he does not attribute the information he posts to a source so I view his listings as rumor until another reliable source (e.g., team website; newspaper; certain blogs) independently reports it. Also, by only posting a player's name, date of "commit", receiving team and current team, he is unable to report important background information - such as the fact that Manson decommitted from Quinnipiac before approaching NU.
Heisenberg used to maintain a very informative blog called "NCAA Hockey Recruits" (http://hockeyrecruits.blogspot.com/) but the last entry was in June 2007. It would be great to see him revive the blog.
Thanks for clarifying this point. This young man followed the recruiting rules and so did NU.

Talk about "looking a gift horse in the mouth"!
I prefer to think that a very good defenseman from a "fun and gun" league is a very very good defenseman.

Re: Northeastern Huskies Offseason (Discipline: let's find it)
haha, don't get me wrong, I'm pretty excited about this guy, I was just saying these stats aren't equivalent to USHL stats which aren't equivalent to EJHL stats which aren't equivalent to ect ect. And I just wanted to make a Steve Spurrier joke for Skinsfan.
