Its almost that time of year again, exhibition this weekend. There are plenty of doubts about the team this year, as there are every year, but this year marks a pivitol point in Cronin's rebuilding plan. May the banter begin . . .

Re: Official 2009-2010 Northeastern University Huskies Season Thread - Life Post Thie
Thiessen left?
I'm anxious to see the new recruiting class (sans a Daniels) and what some of the new line combos are going to look like. Is what I'm hearing about Daniels' shoulder keeping him out for a month an a half accurate?

Re: Official 2009-2010 Northeastern University Huskies Season Thread - Life Post Thiessen
I heard that he is going to be out some time but I would rather have that early on than later in the year. Also, I know some people were saying they thought that the brothers could have used another year in the USHL to develop their skills. Basically I've heard to not expect them to step in and produce at the level Quailer and Tuckerman did last season.

I am much more anxious to see the defensive freshman as they are going to have to fill Liotti and Chisholm shoes(and to a smaller degree Nycholat) or Rawlings/Binnington are going to face a ton of shots and chances from day 1.2016 and 2019 HOCKEY EAST CHAMPIONS

W L T SO Min GAA S SV%
30 15 1 2 2778 2.83 1545 91.52
22 21 4 7 2812 2.88 1731 92.2
The top line is Rawlings' stats from last season ('08-'09) while the bottom line belongs to . . . Brad Thiessen circa '05-'06. So what does this tell us? I'm not saying Rawlings is giong to turn out to be as good as Thiessen, but I do think that we can expect him to turn into a very solid option in net. I would expect some sort of a time share between goaltenders, but I think he will win more time as the season goes on. There is no question that our ability to compete in the league this year will be directly related our goaltending.

I don't know if this was mentioned already, but Rawlings is ranked #6 on INCH's top 10 incoming goaltenders

They say right in the article how hard it is to predict how goalie recruits will perform, but it is encouraging to see him included on this list.my huskies > your huskies

I'm guessing first line of MacLeod, McNeely and Kraemer? Be fun to see how the pairings turn out.

Also, looks like we have another commitment from Luke Eibler (D- Youngstown USHL) for the 2010 or 2011 season. It really looks like Cronin is going to work to build up the D over the next few years. They have done a great job finding talent and players that fit in the system, but, as I've said before, I would like to see a couple top tier recruits buy into the program here. I'm not looking for a whole class of Mike Morris type players (minus the injuries), but I think with a couple more successful years, we should be expecting our freshmen to play like Quailer and Tuckerman, and not just play a 4th line checking role.

Reports from the captain’s practice. Daniel’s brothers are better than advertised, Justin out for at least two months with shoulder injury. Will be Cronin’s best frosh class. Rawlings good but not great. Vrolyk and Student super fast!
Vermeersh plays like MacLeod. Fun starts tonight.

Suffice it to say that will be the last time St. Thomas' darkens Matthews' doorway. It's a shame that an exhibition was turned into such a goon-fest. Here's hoping Qualier's okay, but I'm not optimistic, that looked ugly; did anybody see the hit? Clean?
Mixed reviews for our freshmen: I thought Vrolyk and Vermeerch were the two most impressive. Vrolyk is a pesky forechecker and worked hard for every loose puck, he deserved his goal. Vermeerch is essentially Vrolyk + 4 inches and 15 pounds.
Newton and Ellement were on and off, while Student wasn't overly impressive in his own zone.
What can you say about the goalies that hasn't already been said about HIV. God help us if either play this poorly against CC.
