NU vs. PC - Deep Fried Friars vs. Hungry Hungry Huskies 11/20-21

Re: NU vs. PC - Deep Fried Friars vs. Hungry Hungry Huskies 11/20-21

Beaudry's W/L record is listed at 5-3 while the Friars overall record is 6-3. Which gm did he not start? Did the other tender you have get the W then..? Against which team?

Just curious if you will use him (Beaudry) both nights with a 2 day rest, or go with rotation..
 
Re: NU vs. PC - Deep Fried Friars vs. Hungry Hungry Huskies 11/20-21

Looking forward to this weekend's series. I think that a split is in the cards but you never know.
I work down the street from the Arena and will be pregaming at Coda on Tremont. Feel free to stop by if you Huskie fans are in the area and thirsty. Coda is just around the corner from Clery's. It's the Friday afternoon hangout after work so no driving.:cool:
I'm just glad Thiessen is gone. He was a beast!!!
 
Re: NU vs. PC - Deep Fried Friars vs. Hungry Hungry Huskies 11/20-21

no team in HE has swept a series..

.. pretty amazing.

With NU-PC, UNH-BU, BC-ME all playing 2 (head-to-head) this wknd, doesn't get any easier...

Rankings in HE going to be 'sardine like' this season :)

Any idea how NU student ticket sales are so far? I totally forgot to pick mine up yesterday...
 
Re: NU vs. PC - Deep Fried Friars vs. Hungry Hungry Huskies 11/20-21

you should be able to pick them up no problem. haven't gotten any e-mails about tix selling out.

It seems like they decided to give him the night off for the 2nd Bowling Green game, given that they completely dominated the first game.
 
Re: NU vs. PC - Deep Fried Friars vs. Hungry Hungry Huskies 11/20-21

When I showed up to get my ticket yesterday there was still a decent stack there. The person working the window was not paying attention to us, and as we were about to walk away she asked if she wanted to sit next to each other (I was with one of my roommates). She had to give us tickets next to each other (took her way too long to figure out the one that she gave me and the one she gave him were already next to each other...I had to tell her). When are they going to realize that students don't pay attention to those? I've been sitting in the same seat all year, and it's the same place I sat pretty much all of last year. I don't plan on moving.

Where's your location of choice? I've been sitting in the corner of the lower section... (near the entrance to the opponent's locker rooms) For me, it's the best view in the arena... though I mentioned earlier I'm considering moving because it's been the designated spot for some fraternity and I'm tired of hearing their drunked stupidity
 
Re: NU vs. PC - Deep Fried Friars vs. Hungry Hungry Huskies 11/20-21

That guy must have really sucked. I kind of want to meet him.

No you don't.

Imagine having no interior monologue. And having the thought patterns of cocker spaniel. That was him. Eric the Ram, Sasquatch, Mullethead... nothing compared to this guy. I think he might secretly be Hokydad.

God, I love Matthews. Too bad my wife didn't want to get married there... have the games been selling out lately?
 
Re: NU vs. PC - Deep Fried Friars vs. Hungry Hungry Huskies 11/20-21

NU is finally not predicted to sweep this week in the HE write-up. Maybe that means we will?

Far as sellouts, we started the yr with 2 straight sellouts.. the ME gms were close to capacity but not sold out.

I think it'll be the same deal Friday. Good size crowd, but i don't see sellout... unless of course you & wife re-enacting vows on center ice Jon :)

I've been in the first row of the section right in front of the sound booth.

The student section sold out for the Maine games as well, just not the paid admission. As far as I know though, there are still student tickets available for the game tomorrow night (or tonight, depending how you want to look at it).

Did the NU freshman think we weren't going to lose a home game all year??? After the Maine loss on Friday many students did not get to the game on Saturday until right before puck drop and the Facebook event group for this week has about 400 less students than it did for the Maine series. I guess they want us to play bu or bc every week?

First off, I know there are still 500 or so student tickets left for tonight's game, but I expect a good student showing again. NU is starting to deal with issues that were not present when the team wasn't popular. You have a lot more students who want to go to the games. Most students aren't really hockey fans, and they go because it is the thing to do before they go party for the night. There are a lot of students, freshmen in particular, who just want to be drunk around a lot of other NU students, yell, scream, and then head out and drink more. Listen, this demographic of fans cannot enjoy a 0-0 tie because there isn't enough action. So, there is no way they can tolerate a 6-2 beatdown and then want to come back the next day. One way or another, there will always be the core hockey fans at NU making up the Dog House. But we all have to realize that a lot of the other fans are going because its fun to watch a team win, or its the thing to do on a Friday/Saturday.

Prob for another thread.. but along the same lines.. NU Hockey & staff (et al), have to at some point think... ALUMNI..

yes we have some attend now, but there's a lot more we can get & its good entertainment, fun & overall cash cow the school has not tapped properly. Good or not so good teams.. this is a demographic that has been neglected by the hockey office big time, imo.
 
Re: NU vs. PC - Deep Fried Friars vs. Hungry Hungry Huskies 11/20-21

Busy as all hell week for me so not a lot of posting.

I am seeing the Huskies with a split here, depending on what I see from PC on Friday night. I think I know what the Huskies are but will admit I have quite a few questions about the Friars but they seem a long way from the last place team I had them pegged as to start the year.

For now give it to the home teams, but if one team looks bad tonight, well you know.

As a side note, I know the guys at Matthews are good but this heat is ridiculous. Matthews may have a few "issues"....

Issues as far as what - ice quality? I talked with the night manager after IM broomball finished up yesterday, he didn't think there would be any problems with the ice. (If this wasn't what you were talking about, my apologies.)
