2nd period analysis.

I was talking to Jared Shafran, the hockey writer, about how calm this second period was. And then midway through, boom! Seniors Louis Liotti and Dennis McCauley scored goals at 11:58 and 12:40, respectively, to give NU a 4-1 cushion.

Steve Quailer added the third goal of the period at 18:19.


One of the main stories of this game is the way the senior class has been stepping up for Northeastern. Ginand, Liotti, McCauley and Rassey have all been huge. Again, these guys seem hellbent on getting a Beanpot.

Juniors Chris Donovan and Brad Thiessen have been huge too. Thiessen has made several outstanding saves and Donovan has been everywhere on the ice.

John Muse has not looked sharp. He was caught out of position on the first two goals, and was completely out of the net for Quailer's score.

2nd half stats:

Thiessen: 21/21 saves. Game: 28/29
Muse: 7/10. Game: 14/19
