    Re: Northeastern Huskies 2018-19: New Breed, Old Snarl

    I didn't really watch the defense as much as I would have liked. Davies was shaky, allowed a couple of odd man chances by getting caught in too deep and was partially responsible for the SHG. Not bad in a bad way, but running around like it's his team and not playing positionally sound hockey. The rest of the D was pretty quiet, I was excited to see Willy on the PP1 but Solow ended up back on that right point which he played a lot last year. Harris got the assist like you said, I thought it was a nifty pass attempt from the point but in the end it was only a goal because it bounced off a defender into the right spot. But for straight from prep, I'll take it.

        I thought he looked a lot like Davies did early in his freshman year. He flashed most of the night, and the talent is evident, but there were certainly some plays he made that he can't get away with at the D1 level. He'll learn and I think he will be a stud in short order. To me, Harris, Madden and Pec were huge bright spots last night. I agree with TheRev that Davies got caught up ice too much last night. I don't mind him getting into the play at certain times since he's our best player, but he was basically playing position-less hockey last night. The Solow thing was weird, obviously must have been discipline related. Makes you wonder if Filipe/Ruck are injured or if that was discipline related as well. I was disappointed not to see Villella or Kislin, especially since Murphy/Carrabino barely played. Maybe JM makes a change there tonight?

          Rev and TB have pretty much covered everything significant so no point plowing the same ground. Primeau still looked like Primeau. Can't blame him on either of the two goals, especially the first when he was hung out to dry after Plevy got his pocket picked. Two guys who caught my eye: Pecararo (for the right reasons) and Davies (for the wrong reasons). First game of a long season so not drawing any conclusions about anything.

          Fully expect to see some guys who were scratches last night play tonight. Hopefully, #17 is among them.

                Pretty much the same thing tonight. Cruised to a win on the back of the first line. Couple of good saves by Primeau to preserve the shutout. Harris' goal was completely by accident just like his assist yesterday, the shot didn't even hit the net then bounced off the goalie's back.

                  I half-watched the game, was watching football at the same time. Congrats to Primeau on the shutout, now tied for 4th all time at NU. Pecararo finally gets a collegiate goal, waiting 2.5 years for that one. Came off a nice forecheck and turnover forced by Hawkins. Madden finally gets the first powerplay goal of the year...1 for 13 on the weekend is not very good, but the powerplay did get some good puck movement. Three assists from Lincoln Griffin; first career goal for Harris on a fluke shot, but hey as long as it goes in.

                  Didn't watch closely enough to comment on any of the defensemen. NU won most of the faceoffs this weekend, which is great.

                  Union tied and then beat Nebraska Omaha this weekend, scored 8 goals and allowed 7. They'll be a much stiffer test next weekend than SHU was.

                  Good start to the season.

                    Some thoughts after watching both games and again trying not to pass judgments or draw conclusions:

                    --SHU was actually better than I thought they'd be. Much quicker than I anticipated but just didn't have the depth to match up top-to-bottom and so NU just wore them down. A better way to ease into the season IMO than playing against most of the Canadian teams.

                    --Breakouts were crisp and clean for the most part. Basically, SHU line rushes resulted in one or two (mostly harmless) shots, then the puck was moving the other way.

                    --NU forechecking was very effective, resulting in prolonged possessions in the attacking zone. More goals could have been scored but for bad bounces, a few good saves by the SHU keeper, and just plain inability to finish.

                    --The two frosh Dmen who played (Harris and Villella) looked OK.

                    --Looks like the next "Big Line" is Hawkins-Madden-Pecararo. Madden looked impressive for a frosh.

                    --Primeau is still Primeau.

                        Good start to the season. NU wore down Sacred Heart in the end and scored 9 unanswered from the mid-second period of Game 1 and the shutout on Game 2. Again, Union will be a bigger test. It was very weird to have the game at an arena that clearly sits 8,000 and there was only barely 500 fans in each game.

                              I agree, I would say 80%, but SHU did have a decent band. This killed two birds in one stone for me, it allowed to take the ferry to go to Long Island during the stay Saturday between games, too bad it rained the whole time . I did have a nice dinner at a German Beer Hall two blocks from the arena, for the last day of Oktoberfest.
