Fred-Simon 0 Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 They should convert him to a center. With 3 of their top 5 centers graduating next year, that's a very good possibility. Link to post Share on other sites
Phatz 0 Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 At 6'3" 185lbs if this kid can beef up a little maybe he could turn out to be that big powerful center that we've always been looking for in a long time, but he sounds really good right now hopefully he can live up to his hype right now and live up to his potential. good luck Mr.Quailer Yes he sounds good and that size up front could be a God send. So good luck. Link to post Share on other sites

Flunky 0 Posted February 3, 2009 Report Share Posted February 3, 2009 Steve Quailer had a goal and an assist in a 6-1 drubbing of Boston College. He now has 17 points in 26 games with a +3 rating. Way to go Steve-O! Link to post Share on other sites

Fred-Simon 0 Posted February 3, 2009 Report Share Posted February 3, 2009 To be fair, both points were rather cheap. The assist was a great effort play on his part, as he was getting dirty in the corner and the puck popped out to the defenseman near the circle for an empty net PP goal (the goalie got stuck tryin to play the puck along the boards). The goal was basically the same play...Chris Donovan's aggressive forecheck stole the puck from the goalie, he dumped it out front and Quailer buried it from 20 feet. Still, very welcome points in a HUGE game. Quailer got the nod on the top line last night, playing with Hobey Baker Award candidate Joe Vitale and sophomore winger Wade MacLeod. Saw plenty of time on an effective top PP unit too, as he was on the ice for both NU PP goals. Link to post Share on other sites
Fred-Simon 0 Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 Quailer scored the tying goal Saturday night with 2:22 to play in a 1-1 tie with #1 Boston University. Northeastern managed a split (2 ties) on the weekend and remain in first place thanks in no small part to his goal. Link to post Share on other sites
Fred-Simon 0 Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 Big couple of weekends for the Huskies. Needing to sweep BC to win the Hockey East Regular Season title, Quailer scored the game-winning goal Friday night to give Northeastern a 2-1 OT win. Just a classic garbage goal...he parked himself in front of the net, and with pressure on the goalie the puck bounced his way and he roofed it for the goal. On the downside, he was pretty invisible in the loss at BC on Saturday. This past weekend, in the playoffs, he scored NU's second goal of the night on Saturday in a 4-1 win, and also assisted on their 3rd goal, a PP goal. His blast from the point was saved but his linemate, Alex Tuckerman, jammed home the rebound. He then picked up an assist Sunday on Tuckerman's OT game-winner, finding the fellow freshman open behind the net...Tuckerman skated out and fired a shot high to the short side for the win.

Fred-Simon 0 Posted October 4, 2009 Report Share Posted October 4, 2009 NU played their first "game" of the season...an exhibition against St. Thomas (of New Brunswick). Quailer spent most of his time centering the second line, and was very effective on the PP until he was hit from behind with 5 mins to play. He stayed down on the ice for a few minutes and skated off VERY gingerly, placing very little pressure on his knee. Official word is that he's "fine" but it didn't look good to me from where I was sitting. Link to post Share on other sites

Fred-Simon 0 Posted October 8, 2009 Report Share Posted October 8, 2009 (edited) Official word from NU is that he's "out indefinitely". I take that to mean the best case scenario is he comes back after Christmas. Edited October 8, 2009 by Fred_Simon Link to post Share on other sites

Fred-Simon 0 Posted June 10, 2010 Report Share Posted June 10, 2010 apparently Montreal was ready to take him for 2010-11 until the injury. now it sounds like he gets one more year as a Husky before moving up to Hamilton. Link to post Share on other sites

I may have missed it, but was their a release or a bit of news that depicted this? There wasn't a whole lot of news that came out of the developement camp, but I heard his name mentioned a few times. Aside from that, can anyone add a decent (hopeful) prosepective future for Steve? Any hope of filling a habs jersey shortly? Link to post Share on other sites

Any hope of filling a habs jersey shortly? not this season. the Habs want him to play one more year in college, so Northeastern gets him for 2010-11 and they'll take him from there. i'm interested to see if NU puts him back on the wing or at center. He was playing center in the one exhibition game he played last year and I'm hoping that continues this season. they're a little thin at center and could use him on the 1st or 2nd line.

I know the Habs have replenished the system with Centers, but to have Quailer with his size and speed coming up would be such a bonus. You can never have to many centers,that was Montreal's thing in the 60's and 70's and 50's for that matter. Link to post Share on other sites
Fred-Simon 0 Posted October 8, 2010 Report Share Posted October 8, 2010 Quailer was back on the wing for most of last weekend's exhibition game. He looked tentative at times, but it was good to see him back on the ice. First regular season game is tonight at Providence. Link to post Share on other sites
