The Friars make it back-to-back ties at Matthews Arena. Shane Luke (#5) and Kevin Hart scored the goals as the Friars poured a season high 49 shots on net. Hart's goal came on the power play (25th PP goal of the year for the team) and came from beyond the blue line. The Friars were without Tim Schaller, Danny New and Mark Adams due to injury.
The Friars remain in 6th place one point ahead of UNH and five points ahead of both Northeastern and Umass. PC starts a home and home with BC Friday night at Schneider. You can watch that game on cox sports and on the web at www.coxsportsonline.com. Saturday's afternoon game at BC starts at 3:30 and is on NESN.
Mike, what's the news on Schaller, Adams and New, will any of them be back for Friday? I saw Schaller with his family 3rd period of Friday game, he looked like he was feeling OK. Guessing by the rules they had to hold him out last night.
BTW Friars are only 3 back of Merrimack for 5th, although not sure they would want to be in 5th if UMaine ends up 4th. Going up to Orno is not much fun for a playoff. Although remote, it is not out of reach to gain home ice either.
According to Chris Heisenberg, there may have been some academic issues that warranted not wanting to take the risk, particularly for his talent level. (In other words, why take the chance on someone who may not pan out as a good Hockey East player...) He's already 21, so there may not be much upside in him.
Todays PROJO has Schaller and Adams out for both games this weekend. Also stated New should return tonight. This is a bad weekend to lose you top center and goal scorer.
A loss like tonite is not that bad we played the NR 2 team in the country even 5-5 but could not handle them shorthanded.....PC has come a long way in a very short period and this weekend we are short 2 key players so I for one am very impressed with this club......lets get them in their barn and stay out of the box
