Northeastern lost 4-2 tonight to Sacred Heart 4 straight losses for them.

If HE wants to expand to twelve teams, QU likely won't leave the friendly confines of the ECAC (too easy to qualify from ECAC to NCAAs), so go after SHU with its beautiful new arena. They would be a great travel partner for UConn.

Then HE should consider a "travel partnership" schedule similar to what the Ivy League does in basketball.

Every partnership travels to another partnership each HE Friday/Saturday, on a rotating schedule. Partners would be:

BU/BC
PC/Northeastern
Lowell/ Merrimack
UMass/UVM
UNH/Maine
UConn/SHU

If UConn plays at Lowell on Friday, SHU plays at Merrimack. Then on Saturday they switch. UConn plays at Merrimack, SHU at Lowell, etc. Cuts down on travel, gives each fan base back-to-back league games, promotes rivalries. Anyone familiar with Ivy league basketball understands what a road trip to Penn/Princeton means.

Merrimack had 7 consecutive minutes in the second period on the PP and their PP looked inept could barely get shots. Where was that against UConn? Merrimack got hit with a delay of game penalty for not coming out for the second period on time which was a first that I've ever seen.

BU might be a bit ornery (or broken) coming in on Sunday afternoon;

Right, it's the second time BU allowed 9 goals in a game this season. Early on they dropped one to Michigan 9-2.. But let's not make this about them. The Huskies have their own issues on defense lately so I'm hoping the week off was a return to fundamentals and the desire to fight for pucks and play a complete game. It would be fantastic to see that on Sunday...

That game was a gong show last night. However, BU's coaching staff made a huge error last night starting Commesso in net after he had mono last weekend. He was slow as hell to react all night and looked out of sorts. Given BU's backup is very solid - pitched a shutout in the Beanpot final and won @ Michigan in October - that was a big, big mistake playing him when he shouldn't have been out there.

I fully expect Duplessis to play in Hartford tomorrow, but if Drew starts you should be able to get an easy W.

Root for PC over Merrimack tonight.

 

[Brunoblue]

Root for PC to win in OT.I think both teams would end up with 25 points.
We need to get back to business tomorrow afternoon, and that’s the bottom line.

Welp - this didn't age well, lol.

Commesso was solid vs UConn this past Sunday afternoon, though there were some close calls down 3-2 with UConn having pulled Sergeev for the extra attacker. BU had some puck luck, or perhaps UConn did not have it in the way it came earlier in the season.

That can’t help our SOS.

It’s a long season - UMass Lowell lost to Alaska Anchorage tonight.
