...And bu down to 12 in the USCHO poll (11 in the USA Today). Next two games will amount to de facto playoffs for both teams.
I think bu has the ability to be good with their goaltender but they have been so inconsistent. NU should be able to go in there and get a win no doubt. I expect them to win.

I appreciate your optimism. Its going to come down to special teams & goaltending i feel.
Bu will be looking to bounce back from the Providence gm (though.. ill repeat, they hung with Denver till the end). NU is comimg off a 4 pt wknd. Key is not to get too high, play with discipline & purpose and hopefully we'll see a great gm.
GO NU HOCKEY Always bullish on the future. We don't always win Hockey East or the Beanpot (#trilogy).. but when we do.. we are the Champions
Re: Northeastern Huskies 2017-18: Every Dog Has its Day
I've seen both teams play multiple times. In no way and I EXPECTING a win Saturday, but I do think that we CAN win. BU has been inconsistent, and NU has things to work out as well. But NU is arguably in better shape right now. But as long as the goaltender difference between the teams is as stark as it is, I won't ever say "I'm confident we are going to win," against BU or anybody
Re: Northeastern Huskies 2017-18: Every Dog Has its Day
Do we know if Sikura is indeed going to play on Saturday?
If he doesn't Saturday/when he doesn't the following weekend what do we do with the top 6? Maybe drop Nolan down and play him in Sikura's spot with 8 and 15. Or leave him with 28 and 17 and bring one of the revolving bottom 6 wingers up?

Re: Northeastern Huskies 2017-18: Every Dog Has its Day
I'd go with Jozefek/Stevens/Gaudette..... Filipe/Hampton/Solow on the top two lines in Sikura's absence. Bottom six Schultz/Picking/Schule and pick three from Lerario, Goldstein, Blackmon, Goldstein.
Re: Northeastern Huskies 2017-18: Every Dog Has its Day
Sikura is playing Saturday. He will miss Nov 10 vs BU and Nov 11 @ Lowell. The team's twitter made that statement when he was announced for the Pre-Olympic team

I think you forgot Griffin, who seems to work well with Picking and Schule on the 3rd line. Schultz is a center who should be on the 4th between Goldstein and Goldstein (or Blackmun if our second Goldstein isn’t available :>} ).

Yessir! I did forget Griffin. Definitely Griffin/Picking/Schule on #3.(And I said Goldstein TWICE? Yikes.) Fourth line candidates are Schults, Blackmun, Lerario, and Selanne. And Goldstein!
