The great thing about the team winning - more support and fans show up for games.

The bad thing about the team winning - my usual Monday/Tuesday night ticket purchase results in disappointment as I find out they're sold out.

Anybody have extra tickets???

FYI, the bu game is at the beginning of spring break. I am not saying that students wont come, but if they dont thats why.

good thing I'm on co-op, that'll keep a lot of students around for our home game I'm guessing, but it won't be as packed as usual for a BU game

Re: Official 2009-2010 Northeastern University Huskies Season Thread - Life Post Thiessen

Nice win boys and girls. Congratulations. I do believe that boosts Northeastern into an at-large bid position.

Not sure if that'll hold up with all the tough games down the stretch, but NU has some solid players (especially Rawlings).

I've said it before and I'll say it again, Matthews is so far ahead of any place else in HE in terms of best place to see a game that no other arena is even worthy of being in the discussion. I thought it was a little less crazy than the 2007 tie and BC overtime loss, but still loud and a lot of fun. Our group of fans had a great time.

Re: Official 2009-2010 Northeastern University Huskies Season Thread - Life Post Thiessen

Don't look now fellas but we're 14th in the country and if the season ended tonight, we'd have home ice at 4th place. As mentioned there is a lot of room to move around here. Unfortunately, I don't see Maine, Merrimack and Providence sweeping UML, UMASS, or BU so we could have a bit of a reality check tomorrow night... But that aside every result worked to our favor!

AND WHAT A GAME BOYS! 6 game winning streak? They must have got wind from our basketball team... Great night of hockey. Glad to see the barn starting to fill up again. I better see a lot of friendly faces Sunday. Let's do to BC what we did to Merrimack a couple weekends ago!!

Unbelievable what Cronin's done with these boys since the break. Whatever it is, keep going at it, and let's see if we can't make it 7 in a row.

What progress the Huskies have made since I saw them play Maine and Merrimack in November and December. Greg Cronin seems to have hit the medal to the pedal at the right time. The Huskies have three skilled forwards, but are one of those "lunch pale" teams that work hard and grind out victories. Love watching games at Matthews.
 
Re: Official 2009-2010 Northeastern University Huskies Season Thread - Life Post Thie

NU did a great job of neutralizing the speed of BC tonight for the most part. I noticed a lot of pressure on the puck carriers for most of the night, which forced BC to make some passes a bit quicker than they may have wanted to. Whatever it was, NU did a great job defensively, especially in the first two periods. BC had a ton of pressure for a good part of the third, but Rawlings was up to the task. Great blast by Chris Kreider to beat Rawlings in the 3rd...man, Kreider impresses me (especially his highlight reel goal against BU in the Beanpot).

Very well officiated game, tonight. We often forget to credit the officials when they deserve it, and I feel that they did an outstanding job tonight.

Anyway, Matthews was a great environment tonight, the students were outstanding, and BC had a good, loud showing, too. All in all it was one hell of a night!

Re: Official 2009-2010 Northeastern University Huskies Season Thread - Life Post Thiessen

Good, solid, hard fought win over a talented squad. Echoing everyone's sentiments.. well played team! I will just add.. on that first BC goal, i think we got a bit lazy clearing our zone (twice).. letting the Eagles take advantage. Up until then.. tempo was well controlled.

Also, on our PP (few that we did earn, BC played quite disciplined save the Gibbons hit..), we got to shoot on net when the lanes are open. I thought several times they were & we passed a ton.. it worked out okay tonight, but.. i feel we gotta get more shots on net & hunt for those rebounds.

Well, let's enjoy this one.. tonight anyways. What a great job by special teams.

Way to go everyone :)

I didn't think it warranted a 4 minute penalty, but I'm obviously biased. What did it look like from a better vantage point? I thought it was a bit of a charge, but not a bad hit overall.
 
Re: Official 2009-2010 Northeastern University Huskies Season Thread - Life Post Thiessen

Re: Official 2009-2010 Northeastern University Huskies Season Thread - Life Post Thiessen

To me.. (obviously biased as well).. vicious hit down low (head area). Actually thought he was going to get the door.. (again, just my opinion).. refs took the middle ground between our opinions :)
 
Re: Official 2009-2010 Northeastern University Huskies Season Thread - Life Post Thiessen

Re: Official 2009-2010 Northeastern University Huskies Season Thread - Life Post Thiessen

OMG..I may stand so corrected! What a game..I am a big enough man to happily eat my words and a great deal of what I have posted.

The boys are playing terrific and perhaps the their best hockey since the season of the gods 1982. Great D , unreal PK and so super sick Goal tending!

Who is playing better college hockey in late Feb than NU Nationally..
ANSWER ...NOBODY!

I have to admit I was perhaps wrong in my critiques and resent posts!

Hats off one of to one of the best performances I have seen in over 20 years! Its all about jelling at the rite time. This team could surprise!

Can you imagine what the future holds for this young team?

Greg Cronin..I hear you have them sparing and boxing in the gym. Genius?
I don't know as it is to early to tell but tell me where can you spend $12 to $18 bucks anywhere and get more bank for your buck...

ANSWER:
No where

Peace

Re: Official 2009-2010 Northeastern University Huskies Season Thread - Life Post Thiessen

I saw the ref's hand up signaling a penalty beore the hit was even finished... makes me thing the second 2 minutes was for the vicious hit, and the first 2 minutes was for something a little less malicious...

I could be wrong, but like I said I swear I saw the penalty called before the hit...

I just looked into the rest of the HE schedule, and we've got our work cut out for us! The last two games of the season against BU will be the most intense of the season, as we will likely both be battling for home ice (4th and 5th)

I'm going to make a guess (judging by our schedule vs theirs) a split with BU at the end would put us one point behind them, giving us 5th place. Hey, better than 9th like we all feared a couple weeks ago, but we need these boys to REALLY step it up if we want some extra games at Matthews.

We can't afford to lose any points at home, and any ties or wins away will be just what we need...

Choog mentioned it below but it was not a double minor. It was two separate calls, heck Rawlings was almost to the bench when the second call came...

Now I didn't see the first call (the charging I think) but I did see the contact to the head (the second).

Anyway, can't comment not seeing the first, but on the whole I think the two refs did a nice enough job tonight

A huge win for the Huskies, they are on fire, this. is. awesome.

Re: Official 2009-2010 Northeastern University Huskies Season Thread - Life Post Thiessen

So tonight's attendance at Matthew's is listed as 4666, so was the BU game earlier this year, I'm assuming both were sellouts. I was on the Matthew's wikipedia page earlier and while I know not to trust wiki entirely it cites this article, http://gonu.com/mhockey/2009/game04.htm , as a source for saying the seating capacity at Matthew's is 5,407... were these seats lost in the renovation or something?
