Re: Scores and Highlights 09-10
Hux and IceIsNice were there, and their thoughts are on chicken wings, so I'm sre there will be some commentary on the game and post-game snack in time
I hear the shots were 49 NU - 29 BC, but Hux said there were a number that weren't tallied for NU, and it might be closer to 52 for the Huskies.
First of all, the wings were delicious!!! Hux will remember the name of the place, I don't, but it was only about a mile or so West of BC. Definitely should be added to the official dining board!!
Meanwhile, call me crazy but if NU should happen to run their next 5 games (Quinnipiac, Bemidji (2), Vermont (2)) this would make them 8-0-1 and probably gets them in the top 10. Okay, so, this next stretch may not be considered the strongest of opponents, but I guess I was very impressed with what I saw tonight. Other than the final 10 minutes or so, this was a relentless attack.
As Hux said, shots were probably greater than 50, and there were several outstanding saves by Boyles, or else NU might have tallied 5 or 6 instead of 3. The highlight save was probably the circus save at the end of the 2nd period. (I think Hux even got a picture of this one.....outstanding!).
BC definitely needs to find a way to tighten things up in their own end. Giving up 40 plus shots on goal is no way to string wins together, no matter who is playing goal..... Boyles, Schaus, Tim Thomas....it won't matter!
Lots of friends there at BC, I hope they turn it around, but for now NU looks like a far deeper club.
