Northeastern took down #2 Notre Dame 9-2 tonight. First time ND had lost at their new arena. NU has now won four in a row, including a 4-1 win at Michigan last week. They play ND again tomorrow.
I'm not very knowledgeable about hockey, but from what I've seen, NU appears to be talented but inconsistent (so many damn penalties too...). Their games this year:
vs. Massachusets, 3-3 T (slow out of the gate, but I thought they dominated the later half of the game and scored the tying goal with just a few seconds left in regulation).
@ Maine 6-3 L
vs. New Hampshire 4-0 W
@ Merrimack 4-1 L
vs. Boston College 4-3 L, OT (led 3-1 for a looooong time, but surrendered the tying goals midway through the 3rd period and lost with about a minute left in OT).
@ New Hampshire 5-2 L
@ Merrimack 1-1 T
vs. Merrimack 3-2 L, OT (again led 2-1 midway through the 3rd before letting in the tying goal. Lost on a bad pass on their own power play being stolen for a break away score).
@ Boston College 2-1 L (BC scores winning goal with seconds left)
@ Massachusetts 4-2 L
And now this most recent stretch, starting on 11/18:
@ Providence, 5-2 W
vs. Vermont, 4-1 W
@ Michigan, 4-1 W
@ ND, 9-2 W
They definitely have the ability to play with some of the best, but need to be more disciplined and hold the line all the way to the end. Hopefully they can keep up the recent good play. Anxious to see how tomorrow night's game goes.
