Northeastern Huskies 2017-18: Every Dog Has its Day

[northeastern]

Jeremy Davies and Dylan Sikura will miss the AIC game to play for Canada.

The change in landscape hopefully does Sikura good, to then bring back to NU.
Davies.. what can i say.. great work ethic.. Good for them both!

In other Husky news.. Dallas Stars trade Jamie Oleksiak to the Penguins for future (2019) draft pick. Change.. just part of life.

nice, thank you. local kid, glad he will be closer to home as well.

If he can play responsible defense and make a breakout pass that is good enough for me. We don't need him to come in and instantly replace Cockerill's offensive output. Get his feet wet, chip in how he can, and he'll be alright. He's a big defensive defenseman.

Collin has grown a bit since he committed about two years ago. As for his offense? He had a goal and an assist - Both came against Chicago last Saturday night. I wonder if he know about GR by that time. No history of being particularly offensive.I really want him to simply defend. Any O will be a bonus. Perhaps Williams will assume the mantle on the PP.

Listening to the Ducks/Isles game. Isles announcers made a point in stating that Kevin Roy and Patrick Roy are not related.

This is a great opportunity for Billy Carrabino to get some quality minutes. He looks like he has potential to be a very solid D man for the huskies and hopefully after a year or two be the leader on the D. I see him throw his weight around at least. I would like to see Bobby Hampton and Billy Carrabino be solid leaders in this freshman class. I’m not saying they are the most skilled but they can turn into solid role guys.

When Cockerill did not dress for three games and there was no mention of an injury, I wondered if something was amiss. I waited to see if other posters closer to the program/team would allude to an issue and that silence made me wonder more. I hoped that the Staff was using playing time as a wake up call regarding his defensive responsibilities. In the bigger picture, it's too bad that this has happened when Garret is so close to his degree. I hope he finds a way to finish up and get his degree.

Cockerill signs with the Kalamazoo Wings of the ECHL.

It's never fun to see a player leave a program in the middle of his senior year. Wishing him nothing but the best both on and off the ice.

Let's hope that after a couple of years in the real world, Garret realizes the benefits of completing the requirements for his B.S. - and decides to do something about it.

It appears that Canada beat Davos 3-1 which puts them into the semi-finals on Saturday. Unless they lose Saturday and can grab a Concorde flight direct to Boston, we'll be without them for the AIC game. It will be interesting to observe the lineup adjustments that are made.

Remarkable! There could have been 4. Swayman has gotten a lot of publicity and has played well. Cayden Primeau’s numbers appear to be quite comparable. They face each other in Boston on January 12 & 13. That should be fun!
