SB Nation/Hockey East: What we learned last weekend

There were certainly some very positive signs for David Quinn's group, namely the stellar play from senior goaltender Sean Maguire. The Pittsburgh Penguins draft pick made 70 saves on 75 shots on the weekend, but several were of the jaw dropping variety. Before allowing the goal late in Saturday's contest, he was absolutely spectacular to keep the Eagles off the scoreboard.
