Re: Providence Friars - 2019-2020 Rebuilding The Friars for Another NCAA
thx for summary.
obviously a big W for them as not much has happened with that program since paul pearl left.
beating a solid HE team is an accomplishment for them, no doubt.
i just hope for my Huskies sake they are done with their HE winning streak. HC tends to fall off second half of the season (last couple seasons anyway) & teams like PC usually peak in that timeframe, so i wouldn't be too worried. sounded like classic trap game.

It is tough to explain without video...it was excessive I thought from the staff but whatever.

Can't imagine Nate was too happy having a handshake with Berard after this loss. Sorry but losing to one of the worse teams in Atlantic Hockey on your home ice is not supposed to happen. But I guess we knew the Friars are not as dominant as what was seen last week and are going to be a work in progress. They had some good chances last night but HC goalie came up big. Also thought they were slow to take shots at times. Dugan coming in on partial break come to mind.
I thought the whole HC team and bench thought they had won the National Championship after scoring the winner. They also had a decent crowd there.

Providence’s bench would have had the same reaction if they won in overtime.
Have you ever seen a game-winning “walk-off” goal where the bench doesn’t leap onto the ice and celebrate with the five skaters and goalie?
Sour grapes.
And yeah, this was obviously a big win for HC. Excuse the kids for being excited after coming behind for the win.
Good luck this season.

Yes...our coaches don’t jump up and down together, hug, and act like that unless it is a banner game. This will be very interesting to watch how Berard’s kids (both are committed to PC) goes...
No one here is talking about the players...we are talking about the people behind the bench.

Kudos to Berard and his assistants, their team came from behind with 22 seconds left to win a tough road game in the season opener. Something to get excited about for sure. They played hard, 20 blocked shots.

If my team lost to HC (happened a few years ago) I wouldn't care how they celebrated. I'd be focused on why/how it happened. I would think Leaman is more concerned with that. And that win quite possibly could be HCs "national championship" this year.

Say, this is nice.
great point. Holy Cross deserved to win and it’s ridiculous to complain about how they celebrated. Also, can’t bee too mad at the team that gave us all that wonderful NCAA win against the Rodents,
We have to hope that they finish above tenth place in Atlantic Hockey or else this is a horrible loss - reminiscent of every game against Brown when Pooley was coaching,

A good hard checking game...PC put out their B+ lineup as Young didn't play and didn't seem like Dugan had a ton of shifts while both backups played in goal. The USNTP can really skate but they didn't have that OUTSTANDING guy like Matthews or Eichel in the past but a plenty of SOLID all-around players. I would rather play the USA team every year over those Canadian squads.

Last night's game was fun. Pressure-free, just hoping nobody gets injured, and get to watch a couple future Friars as well (Yoder, Berard). Nice to see goalies 2 and 3 getting in some time. Really curious what they got in Kucharski and wonder whether Lackey will play Hawkey-like minutes through the season or see what the other 2 guys got (sorry, Scannell). Nice to see some of the other freshmen getting onto the ice last night. No Nilsson in 2 straight games. Ineffective, or hurt?

Nate has ridden one goalie his entire career except for one season at Union when they split the duties. So I would expect more of Lackey (wasn't anywhere near fault for that Holy Cross disaster).

Lackey was solid , but was left helpless on all 3 goals by the friars defense.

I saw the second goal/game winner by Berard and he deked that goalie out of his jockstrap!
