Re: Northeastern Huskies 2017-18: Every Dog Has its Day
I do. The offense at least managed to put 41 shots on QPac Friday night and NU might well have won were it not for defense and goaltending issues. But QPac was so totally dominating on Saturday night that NU might well have been humiliated had not Ryan Ruck brought his A-game.
It pains me to have to say it but this team is a shambles defensively, and we should have seen it coming. RIT seemed to have had its way against NU for two periods plus the OT. The QPac series was very much a replay of what happened in Rochester though with a deeper team of more talented players.
The Kool-Aid we all drank a few weeks ago while listening to the pundits and reading the pre-season polls suddenly has an off-taste. It's certainly not too late to turn things around but another (characteristic?) slow start is the last thing this program needs.
