CP played really really well last night. He was awesome in there.

Fun game last night. I believe Ruck's injury was inflicted by a Patrick Harper forearm/elbow shot. Ruck was strong in net until he pulled himself. Primeau came in and handled the situation with poise. Having Greenway and Tkachuk (my he's a dirty one) in his face on Terrier PP's didn't phase him a bit. Defense and Team defense worked hard all night to minimize BU's flurries. Forward lines seem to be sorting themselves out nicely. Picking and Hampton anchoring the 3rd and 4th lines admirably. Loved Hampton's goal last night. Hampton can make plays with the puck and he can make good hockey plays away from the puck, too. (For you older guys like me: Mark Lori-ish?) As for BU, this was my first viewing but I wasn't impressed. Plenty of talent, sure. 5 1st's, 2 2nd's, 2 3rd's = almost half the team drafted in the first three rounds of the NHL Draft. More than a few BU posters have wondered if Quinn can coach the talent he collects.

Surely the end times are upon us. NU and UNH on top of the league, Lowell at the bottom, bu and PC somewhere in the middle, and everyone seemingly having goalie issues except the aforementioned NU and UNH.

well.. anyway, polls dont mean squat.

Also #13 in the USA Today/USA Hockey poll. (And bu heads up the "others receiving votes" category. The ratdogs ought to be snarling come Friday night.)

Sikura now not headed to the pre-Olympic tournament and is "day-to-day" with an UBI. Feel awful for him. Hopefully it's truly day to day and he can be back soon.

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

feel bad for him. Wonder how he picked it up. Hopefully not concussion related. They'll classify anything as an upper body injury these days.

not that it makes losing Sikura for the wknd gms any easier..

Anyone have any more information on Sikura's injury? I haven't seen anything about it except on message boards

Was it Sikura who was hit? I couldn't tell from the bu broadcast and they didn't mention who the player was.

i am not sure if it was Sikura. was just mentioning that as we'd be without him for the wknd gms.
regardless & if it was him.. a speedy recovery for his upcoming trip.

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

The player hit by Olsson was Lerario. Sikura's injury has been reported as a slash and upper body injury, so I'm thinking hand/wrist/arm?

[northeastern]

just went back a few posts & read that he is not headed on the trip... sorry o missed that; that is a bummer! get well soon, Ryan & Dylan.

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

Between the Olsson hit, Harper concussing Ruck and the slash on Sikura, I'd imagine this game on Friday is going to get pretty chippy. "We Want Blood Night" volume II in the Doghouse?

P.S. Still the only time I can remember a college player getting booed every time he touched the puck. What a great atmosphere that night...JVR was such a punk.

That was one of my favorite games I ever attended, and one I always think back to with fond memories of being a student watching games.

Recap of the first game: http://northeasternhockeyblog.com/re...s-down-bu-4-1/

Apparently student tickets are down to SRO only, and both the Dog and Donghouse have sold out. It's shaping up to be a good atmosphere. Hopefully the crowd and teams don't disappoint.
