    So... he must've played really bad in the other games against UML to have such a bad sv% overall against them?

    I didn't say he played poorly in a specific game against UML, I was disagreeing with the premise that UML has historically been a good matchup for him. FWIW non-Ruck goalies have put up a .893 sv% against UML in the span that he put up an .873.

        This is surprisingly lower than I would have expected. Interesting

            So apparently, per Darren Dreger, Dylan Sikura has been selected for a Canadian hockey 'pre-olympic' team, which plays in a set of games from Nov 8-12, which would cause him to miss at least the second BU game....

              This is gonna hurt. But this news should come as no surprise and, of course, we have to feel good for him and wish him all the best. My sense is that he'll miss both bu games (at least) since the tournament is in Finland and things like travel, acclimatization, team practices, and the like need to be factored in.

              • he prob will miss both gms as has been noted due travel/ timezones, distance.

                team will def miss him.. but good for him & hope he can go as far as he can with the opportunity given.

                    Congrats to Sikura, well deserved. Silver lining for the team: maybe without him they play a more defensive, tighter checking game that helps when he returns.

                      No doubt Dylan deserves it. His development has been an absolute treat to watch and we should all be incredily grateful we got to watch him (and there's more to come)! That said, it sucks that he's going to miss so much time. Games against Lowell and BU, minimum, possibly both BU games (Though I am optimistic he could play @ BU), then all of February, which encompasses Beanpot and 5 Hockey East games. Major points on the line, without our best player. That's going to be a major hurdle for Madigan to coach through.

                      Contributions from Hawkins and Pecararo would become even more critical if Sikura does miss time in the second half. I do not have faith that him leaving will magically help other forwards not from the "Top 6" group find what they need to start producing. When Sikura returns, yes, things will improve, but it's a major hole that I do not think we have the depth to fully plug.

                      Maybe the team changes its approach to play a tighter, better defensive game like when Roy went out with injury, and then he returned and gelled with the team's new approach. I hope that can/will be the case.

                        Dylan will be out both BU games and the third UML game it seems. We could potentially see Gaudette MIA in February too as team USA is planning to take on more college players than team Canada plans. Hopefully it is a smooth transition back to a Division 1 schedule for Pecararo and Hawkins as it will be years since either has played on a weekly basis against top competition. These two UML games have become even more important.

                          Hockey East play starts this weekend, we got Lowell for two fresh out the gate. Lowell started 0-3 but have since won three in a row after making a change in net from Tyler Wall to Christoffer Hernberg. Their offense has started to click, but Lowell historically is at their worst in October so maybe we still have a shot catching them working things out.

                            ...and the band can play the famous "Blame Canada" song of South Park fame. And, as someone already pointed out, Gaudette could also get a hard look from Team USA, which could take him out for some indeterminate number of games.

                            But potential Olympic losses open up golden opportunities for others to fill the void. (I'm looking at you, Messrs. Stevens/Filipe/Jozefek/Hawkins/Pecararo/Solow.)

                              Per @GoNUmhockey, Sikura will miss the second BU game (11/10) and third UML game (11/11). That first BU game will be a big one.
