Agree.. before the HE schedule starts.. test both tenders. DRoy watched the gm last night. he knows he'll be up against a fiesty & talented SLU squad tonight. They'll have one thing on their mind.. good test for the whole team.

Originally posted by Thiessen'sBetter View PostUh oh...somebody learned how to score. We're averaging Free Fries, something we never did once at home last year. Roy is unbelievable, he was very quiet for the first half of the game and then he flipped the switch to tie the game and then give us an insurance goal late. Roy vs. Gaudreau is must-see TV next weekend. Szmatula is the best freshman forward (other than Roy) NU has had since my freshman year in 2006. Also, a hat-tip to Josh Manson; starting the first 5 games of the year +12 isn't a bad way to begin your captaincy.

Originally posted by njdevscup30 View PostSlow down a second. We are 5 games into a season with 4 of them against cupcake opponents. We always seem to have a freshman do great each year. C Costello, W MacLeod, S Qualier, G Vermeersch, B Reid, L Karlsson, K Roy (Him being the best while being on the worst team). It's awesome to get excited, but let's see how the season plays out against Hockey East opponents.
Coming off a 9-win season, we cannot call any schedule cupcake because most teams, even Holy Cross, say, oh it's just Northeastern, a very winnable game. Szmatula is definitely better than every guy on that list (as far as freshman are concerned) except maybe MacLeod and Quailer. Even Reid didn't start producing until the Beanpot.
We'll see how this team does against Hockey East competition but St. Lawrence swept Maine this season so they are no slouches. They also have one of the best forwards in the nation in Greg Carey. Last night was a solid win in the face of an 0-2 deficit.
Obviously though, next weekend the defense will be seriously tested against BC. That'll be an exciting home and home for sure but it's okay to be excited right now.Northeastern Huskies

6-4 SLU final with ENG at the end. Nice comeback by the Saints.. sounded like they got out of the gate & got ahead early. Tough playing catch up night in night out. Hopefully our team got good experience (especially the tenders) so we can get ready for HE schedule & rest of the season. Would be curious to hear about our goaltending tonight.. from anyone who saw the gm. Split wknd against some decent competition. Well played team.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

Good series with you guys. Arguably stole Friday night's game, but SLU also played a bit undisciplined, and your guys capitalized on it. Best of luck to you guys the rest of the year, and please beat those thugs next weekend, alright?

Re: Northeastern Hockey 2013-14 Season
If nothing else, this past weekend seemed to provide some answers to open questions. In terms of goaltending, Witt seemed to hold up well under pressure on Friday night while DRoy (from what some who were there report) was largely hung out to dry on Saturday. But so long as no goals are being scored from the corners or beyond the center red line, goaltending looks to be improved over last year. Maybe significantly so.
Defense is still the Achilles heel of this team. SLU was able to pin them deep for long periods and that doesn't bode well.
I wasn't happy with the way the forwards seemed to play back on their heels for the better part of both SLU games although the defense might have had something to do with this. OTOH, you have to be impressed with the way they came back on both nights. If nothing else, the comebacks speak to conditioning and attitude.
Bottom line, this team is nowhere near as bad as some made it out to be during the off-season but not so good that everyone should be making hotel reservations in Philly for next March. The future is starting to look bright, assuming NU can keep most of the freshmen around for more than a couple of years."Through the years, we ever will acclaim........"

Re: Northeastern Hockey 2013-14 Season
Derick Roy looked fine. I wouldn't put any of the goals on him that game. They were all grade A opportunities. That said, Witt has to start both games vs. BC if we want any chance of points. Roy made the saves he needed to make, Witt made saves that were beyond ordinary. BC is going to get its chances both games. We are going to have to get great goaltending.Northeastern Huskies

Witt, I agree, should get the nod both times. In my eyes he is our clear number 1. Roy has shown he can be a capable goalie as well but Witt is the man we need between the pipes. BC will likely split their goaltenders, but JM should stay with Clay.

Re: Northeastern Hockey 2013-14 Season
Say what you want about polls not mattering, but NU has moved up to #19 in the USCHO poll. Sandwiched between bu at 18 and Duluth and 20. Good to see the team's efforts being rewarded.

You simply can't appreciate a title as much if you don't suffer through a lot of failure beforehand. To put it another way, if MNS ever gets any, he'll appreciate the experience on a far deeper level than the rest of us did when it was our first time, simply because he's gone far longer and failed far more than we ever did.
