      Obviously that last survey Mookie had delivered to him had no question about 4p games.

      And one can infer that if there was a 2015 survey sent it wasn't sent TO Mookie.

      Sad......

        Got the 7/3/14 email about the upcoming survey, did not receive the actual survey, nor the thanks for taking it from Quinn that Mookie speaks of. Only furthers my original point in all of this, that BU handled the entire situation very poorly. They based the decision (seemingly) on a survey that didn't get to everyone, then made the change after season ticket renewals were sent in. It comes off as them taking advantage of the perceived loyalty of their fans at the expense of this experiment, which to this point has been a failure.

            That's excellent news. Hopefully he is close to 100%. He will definitely make a difference.

                I haven't seen official lines but I would think the 6 listed below are playing barring injuries. Unless MacLeod is in the doghouse for taking too many penalties. Diffley is the tough out.

                Grzelcyk/McAvoy/Somerby/MacLeod/Fortunato/Hickey

                  Somerby-MacLeod

                  Based on games thus far, Somerby has really stepped up his game--more speed, more offense, good decisions. We can assume this is his final season at BU.

                    It'd be interesting to see ice time after each game. I'd prefer to have Somerby-MacLeod out there more often than Hickey-Fortunato, if we're going to keep the two best defensive defensemen together.

                      Somerby was drafted in 2012 by the Islanders. If he's to return for his Senior year, he'd become a UFA as the Islanders have until 8/15/2016 to sign him to an ELC.

                      Given the strides he's made in his game, I think it's a pretty safe assumption to make. Have also heard if he continues on his current academic path, he'll be very close to graduating after this academic year.

                        It's a thought, though the Hickey Fortunato line is more offensive, and I think he wants those guys out there more often with the top lines to run the offense.

                        Edit:
                        Per BHB podcast Quinn said it would be:
                        Grzelcyk-McAvoy
                        Somerby-MacLeod
                        Fortunato-Hickey

                          Now that we are talking D-lines, anybody read anything into the fact that MacLeod played mainly the top D line last year and the third pairing this year? Is Quinn just giving all 3 lines equal time? Is it is style of play or development? Is it a personnel reason - and now that Grzelcyk is back they may be re-paired again?

                          Just a surprising thought I had since the season started but no one seems to have noted on here.

                            Doyle would actually be a free agent in June, like Mike Reilly was this year. Increasing the already very high chance that he leaves after this year.

                            I don't believe he played top pair because he was the 2nd best D. I believe they matched up Diffley and MacLeod with the older D last year to have a more reliable guy with the two of them. MacLeod being on the top pair likely just meant he was ahead of Diffley on the depth chart, which I think is still the case.

                              Yeah, I would have remembered both a 4PM start and turning the Friends lounge into a sports bar. Some fans out here should change their screen name to Ben Dover, because they'll clearly take anything the athletic program wants to hand out. P !ss poor management of the situation and I'm curious what the real reason behind this change is.

                                Does anyone actually think BU made this change for a reason other than to try to make more money (by putting more butts in the seats)?

                                The jury is very much out on if it will succeed, but it would be very unBU to move the game times at the expense of money for an ulterior motive.
