What The … ?

A moment later, winger Chris Donovan’s stick snaps, leaving NU with three and a half defenders, effectively. Fortunately, BU tried to jam the puck through Thiessen, who took the opportunity to cover up for the whistle. Just as Rassey emerges, BU gets a one-timer opportunity on par with the one Northeastern scored on. A huge … Read more

Ding!

Yip rings Thiessen’s right post on a one-timer from the left-wing point; 1:08 left on Rassey’s minor.

Livin’ On a Prayer

A good song, yes, but I was never a big fan of that particular Bon Jovi melody during sporting events … unless the team’s in dire straights, of course. The Terrier band just broke it out with 27 minutes still remaining in regulation and the team up a goal. I don’t get it, I really … Read more

Cheer-Stoppers

As NU put a lid on BU’s post-kill celebration, so did the Terriers silence their goal-chanting neighbors with Jason Lawrence’s wide-open back-door tip-in. 3-2 with 7:45 to play before the second intermission. It’s safe to say that so far, Thiessen has not been the Kevlar-coated curtain that he was last Monday against Boston College.

Not Gonna Help the PP Pct

… but the Huskies potted a rebound goal of their own, just as the Terriers had returned to full strength. Sophomore Tyler McNeely deposited a soft rebound of Strathman’s blast, drawing the game even at deuces wild.

Six-foot-four BU defenseman Eric Gryba was in position on 5’10” Husky center Steve Silva in a one-on-one. Silva tried to loop to the outside, and Gryba had him lined up for a Richter-registering hit … until Silva slipped away with the puck, leaving Gryba to plaster himself to the BU half-boards.

The Game Thus Far

Northeastern may as well have signed a lease on the first period; aside from the 5×3, it was a Paint It Black period. However, the two-man-up goal can’t be discounted, and it maintained BU’s place in this crazy affair. The Terriers appeared hesitant and anxious, and boasted few momentum-building moments. Millan looks more confident than … Read more

Agony and Ecstasy

Just as Northeastern thought they’d dodged a Brandon Yip breakaway bullet, in flies sophomore center Nick Bonino to pick up the shorthanded rebound goal. Yip split the Husky defense in the neutral zone to retrieve a loose puck, stormed Thiessen alone, but whipped the bid high to the goalie’s blocker side. The defense, however, utterly … Read more
