Re: BU Season Thread II: The Resurgence

BU has played 26 games so far this season and only given up more than 4 goals once....... to the US wjc team

Looking ahead to Friday night's game I happened to read on the USCHO homepage this puff piece about a UMass freshman:

Please tell me it's a parody.

“I’m not going to put a timetable on how long I’ll be in college. Obviously it’s a goal of mine to play in the NHL, but I’ll make the jump when the time is right.”

Hmmmm. Nice story on younger Mr. Eichel.

How many games into his sophomore year does he hit 100 career points?

Sophomore year? What Sophomore year? Stop with the inflammatory rhetoric!

Re: BU Season Thread II: The Resurgence

so.....

when eichel comes back next year to repeat as ncaa champions, he'll be joined by a hefty class (numbers at least) and only seeing 2 guys depart. therefore, who will be getting cut?

gone- rodriquez and holmann
in - Jakob Forsbacka-Karlsson
Sean MacTavish
Jordan Greenway
Maxim Letunov
Charlie McAvoy
Bobo Carpenter

Re: BU Season Thread II: The Resurgence

Five reasons tomorrow’s UMass game is a trap game:
-#2 ranked BU coming off a road sweep
-Beanpot rematch with Harvard is looming with chance for revenge
-Lopsided early season win at UMass
-UMass is 4-3-1 in the last eight with 27 goals scored
-Recent addition of defenseman Montour, already their top-scoring D

Video on the blog today of Chris Higgins and Colby Cohen scoring goals for the UK Nottingham Panthers. Is Colby gonna be their new sheriff?

The AFC Championship game was closer than this one will be and the only deflation story here is with BUs grades.

Seriously though, I think BU will be ready to take care of business. That 4-3-1 stretch was against teams with a 49-64-14 record. And they may have scored 27 goals, but they gave up 24... to Uconn, Maine, UNH, Air Force, and Merrimack. The only team in the bottom 5 of Hockey East Umass didn't play in that stretch was Umass.

Imagine how many goals they would've scored if they played them!

Stop, you're making me feel optimistic about him staying another year.

Re: BU Season Thread II: The Resurgence

Season ticket holder. Strongly debating the pro's and con's of attending or skipping tonight's game. Traffic, weather, and crappy opponent are all reasons to sit this one out. I need some motivation here....

Re: BU Season Thread II: The Resurgence

Well now it seems like we're not getting that extra snow tonight. I decided to take the T in because of the traffic in the city. I work about 2 miles, if that, from Agganis and if traffic tonight will be anything like last night then it would probably take me close to an hour to get there. I think what I might do is bolt work at 4, head home, then get my car and drive to the game. Unless it is supposed to snow. In which case I'll take the T.

Monday looks challenging weather-wise. Glad we have the early game.

Today is supposed to be nothing. Nada. Zilch.
