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

    No UMass preview from the blog but some points:

    - UMass is rebuilding and is doing well beyond expectations this year. Makar and Ferraro, their two drafted defensemen, are their top players. The lost on Tuesday to Maine at Maine. Good wins this year include @ Union x2, PC, @ QU x2,

    - They are scoring by committee- no point-per-game players, but 5 forwards and 2 D are over 10 points. Oliver Chau is their leading scorer, John Leonard and Mitchell Chaffee are their other top scorers. Maker/Ferraro drive the offense from the blue line.

    - An under 50% possession team, meaning NU should be able to control play. Shot margin of -35 this year in 21 games.

    - Goalies are pretty bad overall: Wischow has an overall SV% of 89.7, Murray (heralded rookie coming in) at 89.2. At even strength Wischow is at 91.1, Murray 89.3. I think they could split the weekend.

    - Powerplay is below average, penalty kill is bad. Huskies should feast.

    • I just dont think there are any easy gms in Hockey East... especially this part of the season. Hopefully they play smart hockey & get out of the zoo.

          0-0 half way through the 2nd. I'm not able to watch the game, but hoping we put some pucks into the net..

            2-0 after a tipped goal and a PPG for UMass. What a stupid dumb penalty by Lerario, hitting Makar around the head area a full 2-3 seconds after he released the puck. He was playing so well for 4 games, and then does that. Stupid.

            Offense has gotten chances but not finishing. Powerplay 0-2. Not feeling optimistic for the third. This is going to hurt the PairWise BIG TIME if they don't come back.

                If I never have to think about that game again, that'd be great. What a disaster.

                  • Umass beat us after having a short rest week, already having played Tues night. Just unacceptable to perform like that, wknd after the Maine series.

                    Hopefully get some respect back tomorrow... otherwise hoping Coaches skate 'em! C'mon guys, let's get real!

                            ... at this point, we need to start becoming a consistent team regardless of wbo is in the line up. Davies will be a loss, no doubt but the offense needs to step up & play team hockey & get some quality shots in... not just in the 1st, but all 3 periods.

                              It helps to get a goal in the first minute.

                                Apparently we are good at scoring in the first minute of a period.
