JM brutally blunt in the post game presser. Called guys out ("...those guys know who they are...I told them") and expressed concerns about mindset.

We are not only in a chase for 1st place in Hockey East, but we are also in a 6 team battle for 4 home ice spots and 5 1st round bye spots. If Maine and Lowell win their game in hand, we are looking at 6 teams separated by 4 points.

Us and the terriers have the "easiest" schedules remaining of the 6 teams, but we know that series in Vermont is going to be a really tough one for us. There are no easy games, and even when you outplay your opponent the result isn't guaranteed. That said the last few weeks should be pretty crazy.

Wow. Stops just short of naming names. "'Sophomores and Juniors' who have had to be addressed before". "Ten guys". So, basically most of the non freshman forwards and defensemen?

Just listening to his comments now. I haven't heard him be that candid in a very long time

Just saw Jim Madigan & N Stevens in between periods of the Bruins-Maple Leafs gm.. live on Nesn .. talking Beanpot. Wishing the Huskies some rest, & let's go Monday.

Normally I go tonight but I said to myself I am only getting the tix on Championship night this year. Don't want to jinx it. They played pretty well but Primeau really looked every bit of what has been said about him in the press. If he gets hot down then stretch and a few kids that Jim called out answer the bell, who knows how far they can go. We can't look ahead on to the UCONN game which was arguably their worst outing down in Storrs. However I can't remember a season where we played BC this well 2x in one season. Anyway BC looked frustrated and chippy at the final whistle and that is what good goal tending can do. Will enjoy this for tonight!

Re: Northeastern Huskies 2017-18: Every Dog Has its Day

The difference tonight - Primeau's goaltending and NU finishing chances. BC had so many rushes, so many opportunities, but couldn't make them count. I thought NU got too creative trying to break out of their own zone, not wanting to just dump it, and the Eagles were ready, able to keep them pinned in. Some bad giveaways in there. I thought the Huskies were lucky not to pay dearly for many of those, but a lot of that was due to Primeau being his game. Big players stepped up on offense.

+1

Find those lanes, make the simple plays, get pucks on net
rest will take care of itself. Here's hoping

they did this.

btw, the 'looseness; / having fun also goes for Primeau..
before he won his Hockey East accolades, was playing/ saving with a certain confidence & swagger.. the OT goal against the Friars, couple other instances with the puck lying loose.. he gets those if he just plays with the calmness that won him those honors just about month/ 6 weeks ago. He has it.. just needs to find it.
Go Huskies

he found it.

Re: Northeastern Huskies 2017-18: Every Dog Has its Day

All around a great showing from NU. CP was very calm, cool and collected for a true freshman making his beanpot debut. The big 3 came to play and everyone else did their job.

After a late one BU it is. Didn't mind who NU would be facing, but from a pairwise perspective I'm glad it's BU as a win against them will pay higher dividends than a win against Harvard at the moment. Up to 13 in the PW and it'd be nice to crack the top 10 somehow prior to league playoffs. Hopefully last night was a start to what will be a strong finish for NU.

Re: Northeastern Huskies 2017-18: Every Dog Has its Day

That Stevens goal brought me back to the 2011 final when McNeely scored NU's 4th goal of the game. I think they have a lot of similarities in their game, though Stevens has the upper hand in stick handling.
