      What the heck does WAG stand for?

      Big win tonight. They needed that. Ahti's goal was Eichel-esque. Maybe that's because Eichel's folks were in the house. Of the three games this week, this was the one I least expected them to win.

      • Pleasantly surprised at the outcome. One team was fast and focused, the other one was taking bad penalties but lucky, I guess.

              ok.

              V E R Y lucky to escape with a win tonight.
              beginning to think eichel covered up a lot of DQ mistakes. these kids make strange decisions, from taking too many penalties to standing around. things that mookie would expect a COACH to control. and what was up with him getting his lineup tossed coming out of a media ( ) timeout??!!? we are all spoiled seeing bellicheat every week, but does ANYONE ever think that would happen to bill? and the kids out there are just doing head scratching things over and over and over.
              ugh

              dunno...... mookie sees a lot of crap that we suffered through 2 yrs ago but wrote off because he was stuck with jack's kids.

                  Denver was anything but focused for two periods. Didn't step it up until Montgomery got himself called for a penalty, presumably on purpose.
                  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

                        Focused? Yes. Some isolated pockets of derp, but overall played two good periods against a very good team. Third period was garbage.

                          mookie 2nds this motion. the derp tends to draw out unfortunately though.


                          did #2 see the ice tonight? don't recall a lot of ice time. can anyone share details?

                            Good point, I don't remember him being out there once. My original thought was that MacLeod was perhaps scratched to give Diffley and Switzer one more shot to duke it out to stay in the lineup or to become the definitive 7th D. Seems like that's been settled though.

                              Two ways to look at it, I guess:

                              Glass Half Empty - They take too many penalties.
                              They take WAY too much "time off" during the game.
                              They don't have a killer instinct
                              Denver was tired after two days in less than 24 hours and a long trip and didn't get going until late
                              Do we have to start worrying about conditioning? I thought that BU was gassed in the 3rd period
                              BOTH tonight and last Tuesday night in Hartford

                              Glass Half Full - Denver is a GOOD team with a very good chance to make the Frozen Four (given that this is
                              hockey and there is a lot of luck involved in getting that far)
                              - BU stayed with them and even dominated for stretches
                              - BU is young and has a bigger upside

                              One would assume that the decision making will improve with experience. They have to learn that some of the things they could
                              get away with at a lower level they can't at this level. The coach can "say" it all he wants, but they have to learn that themselves.

                              One caveat: The days of expecting "contending" teams every year just because it says Boston University on the front of the sweater are over. The talent level is much higher and it exists all over the country. It is available to more schools and they are capitalizing on it. We had better get used to that. This is, by definition, a rebuilding year given the number of freshman (and the fact that most players don't stay four years anymore exacerbates that). Forgot about last year...that's over. That's why it hurts so much to have not gotten that one, because the days where we can expect to be there every year are history, as well. And for those who say that "we EXPECT it at BU," you had better get a grip on reality. Neither David Quinn or Scotty Bowman will change that. It's pure statistics. More good teams...poorer odds. And Jack Eichel is not walking through that door...and if he does, he's going to be wearing blue and gold.
