Northeastern @ UML 10/24/09

Re: Northeastern @ UML 10/24/09

Why? I think even with the loss of Quailman, 15 would be quite a disappointment. Rawlings just has to be mediocre - the power play problems seem to be fixed for the moment and the offense looks fine (no more score two goals and hope it holds).

There is no question that Quailer is one of the most talented individuals on the team, but to be quite honest, I have not seen him be that "go to guy". He isn't an explosive player, he is sneaky good. Players like that make teams great, but it isn't like we just lost Colin Wilson, Nate Gerbe, or Paul Kariya for a year. I'm not sure if I'm reading too much in between the lines, but are you saying we would be lucky with 15 wins because of Quailer's loss? I'm just curious how much of a difference you think it makes. I wouldn't say more than two or three games. IMO our offense is better this year w/o Quailer than last year with him (If you don't count the stretch where Ginand scored on just about every shot).

I believe Quailer's loss could have a profound impact on the offense, especially the PP, but that doesn't necessarily mean the Huskies won't be able to replace at least SOME of what Quailer can do.

I think it's too early to say that the offense and the PP are better than last year. They scored four goals in the second game against CC, but it was against CC's third string goaltender, then scored three goals against Bentley, who is tough, but the jury is out on whether or not they are any good. So I think it's too early to know. That said, in the Bentley game, I liked the movement and passing (and some shots from the point!) for the NU PP, so I'm hoping that is a good sign.

hopefully vader and the boys can come support lowell like they did last time at tsongas.

Vader won't be there but your game day entertainment, in addition to the pep band, will be the Zooperstars.

i don't know what any of that means, so i'm just going to assume you're stupid (your being an NU student/grad, I'm making a safe assumption)

Remember NU fans, sneaking booze into a stadium isn't the smartest thing. Bringing booze that happens not to be clear, in a water bottle ... that's a NU thing.

Re: Northeastern @ UML 10/24/09

you know a team's awful when the main selling point, even to its own fans, is "our rink predates electricity"

ps you can totally tell

At least we can say that our rink is our rink.

Do NU fans know that they can purchase delicious alcohol at Tsongas*?

Excellent.

The lines are long between periods but nothing compared to trying to get anything at the Matthews Arena concession stand*

*The only concession stand.

Re: Northeastern @ UML 10/24/09

me and 4 other guys are tripping up for the game this weekend. looking forward to the family 4 pack and of course the game. i wont make any prediction other than we'll know a lot more about each team after this game. will i judge each team the rest of the way on this tilt? no, but it'll be a good indicator as both teams have shown why people are picking them high and why people are picking them low in the standings.

I understand Lowell is a big game, seeing they were ranked in top ten at start of year and have so many returning players, but what about the UNH game Friday? They're always very tough - can put on an offensive show at the drop of a dime usually. They sure did at the game I went to at Matthews last year, for sure. Northeastern won with physical play and goalkeeping.
---- Like your list of arenas. I've been around a little, not to the extent you have I don't think.

Conte Forum
Whittemore Center
Walter Brown Arena - BU's former arena
Agganis arena
Matthews Arena
Schneider Arena
Bright Hockey Center
TD BankNorth Garden
DCU arena

Maybe I have been around more than I realized, actually.

Buy 1 ticket for 7 get the other one free... so 3.50 tickets. Lowell's deals keep getting better

Amusing since the number of students at each school's home games are something like 2000+ for NU and 25, give or take a few, for UML.

For what its worth... 2000 students out of the 15000 Undergraduate enrollment at Northeastern is only 13.33% , so for UML to draw the same percentage they would only have to have around 800 students attending the games for the same percentage....
