Northeastern Huskies 2017-18: Every Dog Has its Day

[Tilldog40]

Speaking to my BC friend, he said that was the best game BC had all year. And they certainly played that way. Suffocating defense and a stellar performance from Woll. NU had *one* powerplay, that's it. Too much of the skill players trying to do it all themselves.

Primeau looked great. This game is 7-1 without him. 2 or 3 of those goals are flukes (Goals 3 and 4 definitely are). Still confident with him in net from here on out

Agreed

Wow, what a different game from what I envisioned. BC was just relentless, almost never leaving a Huskie room to do anything and only taking one penalty while doing it. Three of the BC goals were greasy goals resulting from hard work and tenacity. Their forwards can all skate and work hard, Their D and Goalie are a very strong group. I'm not going to bash NU either. The effort was there. The Huskies weren't flat. BC just put on a clinic.

Also agree with the above assessments but it's not just BC that's been coming up with suffocating defense. UML and UVM have combined with BC to limit NU to an average of only 1.7 GF over the last three games. Offense is supposed to be the strength of this team but passing in the attacking zone seems to have suddenly lost its sharpness which, in turn, has led to trouble finishing around the net. That being said--and taking nothing away from BC--puck luck just wasn't there last night.

as has also been noted.. some forwards trying to do too much all by themselves. make a simple play on odd man, 2x1 type rushes .. move the puck to the open guy, he has a wide open net to shoot at. they'll look at the video, hopefully learn and improve. good job by the Eagles moving the puck. from what i caught.. that was the difference.

..good for him (pedigree & all) & I hope he goes far as he can.

Also with Thanksgiving, i am thankful for our 2nd goalie as well.. let's not forget about Ryan Ruck, who came in & stabilized things a bit for us when NU needed him after the Q wknd.. before taking one for the team.

Hope he is close to 100% as well. He was seeing the puck much better this season, no question.

Wishing them both success. Have a nice break, all.

Bump off page 2 and here's my recap of the weekend. Sorry about the jumbled text, had formatting issues. Should be a one-time thing.

Happy thanksgiving y'all. I'm thankful for having good goaltending this year, for Adam Gaudette and Dylan Sikura, and also for other posters like you that care deeply enough about this team to comment and chat on a message board about it. Every program needs their passionate fan base, and I'm happy to be a part of this one. Hope you all have a great holiday.

After a nice longer break, we have a Tuesday game at UConn!

Fun fact, since UConn joined Hockey East, we are 8-0 vs. them, outscoring them 40-8 in those 8 games.

Is the UConn feed still pay-per-view?

It appears so They go through CBS. The struggling state of CT is in a bit of a bind! IOW it needs your $. We maybe asked to to bring the game pucks.

Practice lines today in Hartford are the similar to what we've seen recently against BC.

Not sure what Jozy has done to earn his continued relegation but I'm not a fan of it.

If someone wants to explain to me why Brandon Schultz, with his one assist this year, is playing on 8-9's wing and not Grant Jozefek, with his 5 goals and 4 assists and powerplay time and who apparently is relegated to 4th line duty, I'd be all ears. I'm baffled.
