“It’s a factor. It’s not an excuse,” Leaman said. “They took advantage of that. I thought they took advantage of that by getting pucks deep and by wearing us down, and getting their big guys wearing us down. I thought we got some extended shifts in the D-zone, where we bent but we didn’t break. Is it a factor? Yeah. Is it an excuse? No. You can’t let the circumstances matter. You have to function to get the job done.”
Would have been the same for NU or for any team that gets into a final after playing a late game following an OT game in the first. Would be interesting to know how many teams that won the second game ended up winning the championship the next night
That’s how long this has been going on. Just because it’s never really affected you, or Northeastern...NOW it’s a factor??

Re: Providence College regrouping and on to St. Paul
It’s a factor. He’s not wrong. PC was clearly on fumes for the last 40 minutes.
But he’s not saying that it’s the reason they lost.

If we want to criticize Leaman for an actual reason, we can start with yet another no-show for the offense.Last edited by Jon; 03-18-2018, 08:58 AM.

Ok done.
Do we have to have an excuse for EVERYTHING these days? "They're hooked?" Tough. Get some discipline. Jeez...

The game isn't until 7:00 p.m. It's not the sleeping part. It's the muscle fatigue from the short turnaround. And if they DON'T get enough sleep, that's on them.

There’s never been a valid excuse for PC to not support this GD team. I don’t know what happened to the rest of the league, but this has been going on for 23 years. At least.

i know.. i know.. the discipline part.. all that, i get it. just sayin.. times.. even from 2009s.. just look at the devices & such.. they have a changed.
In the future, your team, my team.. it is going to be a factor & it doesnt need to be if they adjust this a bit. Starting a gm at 9:30 -10pm, ending at 1:30am.. ridiculous & doesnt need to be. which sport does this?? jack azz stuff.. these kids.. game is hard as it is, without the added 'factors'.. just step back & think what i'm trying to get across. Hockey East ought to study this & adjust. Keep up with the times. powers that be can make the experience for the semi finalists a whole lot better & we'll have a solid Championship gm without the 'out of tank' experience.
i'm telling you they ought to look at it, but won't.
edit: nothing to do with my team, your team. This for any team..for the future, the kids.. just keep things in perspective. Think smart H.E folk. move it to a Thurs, then final on Sat. The fans that want to come, will come. Jesus games ending at 1am +!!. C'mon peeps.. Nate is right & whole lot of Head Coaches (given the option), would agree. Okay, now im really done.Last edited by northeastern; 03-18-2018, 09:16 AM.GO NU HOCKEY
Always bullish on the future.
We don't always win Hockey East or the Beanpot (#trilogy).. but when we do.. we are the Champions

Re: Providence College regrouping and on to St. Paul
You could potentially come up with a scenario where only the championship game was at the Garden but that ain't happening. The league wants that semifinal $. As long as attendance doesn't start dropping to around 8k or less it's staying. So the only other option is having the semifinals on different days but then one team has an extra day of rest. Leaman can say it's not an excuse but he definitely comes across as a *****. Both BU and PC played single OT games. It's not like PC played a 3 OT game. Ya their game ended late but they should have had more in the tank than they did last night. Not sure if that's a mental thing trickling down from the coach or if it's a conditioning issue but PC had plenty of time to rest up and get in a pregame nap etc.

Get the feeling that other coaches probably feel similarly, but don’t make the mistake of saying it out loud.
It is what it ****ing is.Last edited by Jon; 03-18-2018, 09:35 AM.
