BU 2013 Offseason Thread - Bring on the Mighty Quinn

Re: BU 2013 Offseason Thread - Bring on the Mighty Quinn

Two small nuggets related to BU Hockey, and perhaps slightly related to each other:

- On NESN's "Behind the B" show that combines back office discussions about having to dump Ferrence and Seguin with following Louie Eriksson around as he looks for a new apartment and Lucic around Vancouver with his baby girl, they had footage of their development camp. They focused in on two prospects including Grzyleck. They had footage of the summary conversation with him. Frankly it sounded as if they weren't thrilled with his conditioning, as Don Sweeney said something about fitness and nutrition and that he needs to stick to a regimen. Anyone else watch it and have a similar take?

I got a similar vibe from how the Bruins felt about Grzelyck. It's bad in that they aren't thrilled with his conditioning but it's good in that he will be here for 3-4 years for sure based off of that conversation. Hopefully all 4.

I saw that. Without Boyle, it is not the same off ice. New guy, Anthony is outstanding so I would bet it will be fine++

strange though that a us natl kid and BU player would have that conversation. You would expect it from certain Canadian regions

Great kid who will take the conversation to heart and make it a positive

This whole youth hockey thing is a door to figuring out what ex-Maine Black Bears are doing. Trevor Roenick coaches his son on the 04 Elite team in my sons program. Tim Lovell apparently runs the whole Boston Advantage program. And then at one of my sons games yesterday, who asks me in the hallway what color we'll be wearing so he can have his team wear the appropriate home/away, but former Hobey Baker winner Scott Pellerin. His daughter was on the Vipers team he coached.

ummm. the use of articles in sentences.... "...to help us in our quest for national championship." "with your thoughtful support, we will enjoy terrific year."

punctuation would be nice. in places.

there was a lot missed.
CGS profs would be returning this with a big F

Nonsense, you get at least a C-minus for the effort to turn it in.

If only they knew who to give the C- to, because you forgot to add your name. If you'd have done that, it'd totally be a B.

Can anyone explain the new giving levels. What happened to the pre-game meal in the FoH room? The letter gave levels but no clear explanation.

That is pretty funny... I just quickly scanned saw something about how the guys were excercising 4 days a week etc etc.... (should that be something we are impressed by?)

At 6 AM! Two years ago they were still drinking at 6 AM four days a week.

Re: BU 2013 Offseason Thread - Bring on the Mighty Quinn

The levels are dumb too
You can give at either 2500 or 5000 - and there is no difference in benefits (other than you get/earn more pts so you can go to Philly and see the boys win "a" national championship )

The 150/300/500 (can't recall exact $) earn one the same crap too.

This program (loyalty crap) is poorly run. Mookie is one mailing lists for mc/PC/Umass and get constant emails an mailing about events, outings, opportunities to give. Good ole bu though just expects you to fork it over on your own,

Mookie refuses to help those who don't help themselves!

For the first Quinn "letter" to go out like that ... Well someone should be ****ing fired.

And there it is! The season hasn't even started yet and we are already calling for his head!
