  • Re: Boston College 2015-2016 Season

    I do admit I enjoy going back to the building because in my sports journalism days I loved covering the late, great Whalers for smaller Connecticut media outlets. But the security thugs were another story. They were far worse than anything I've encountered covering MTA board meetings in New York.

      So be it. I brought her camera back to my car and put it in the trunk. Then, when we tried to enter again, some thuggish female security guard who probably couldn't spell Connecticut got out a tape measure and told her that her purse was too big. We made a stink and they let us through, but put a silly green wristband on the purse. I asked if that assured us free roller-coaster rides and they gave us dirty looks.

      Nice to see BC hang a four-spot in the first 11 minutes. By the way, if they announced a crowd of 7,200, they were lying.
      Given the recent ISIS events, I would imagine they were probably overdoing things a little bit. Somewhat understandable.

      The fact that you BC fans revel in the superiority of your team in an admittedly weak league leads me to believe you will be more sorely disappointed when the end comes than we will.

        Hartford seems more a recruiting pool than a victim pool!
        a legend and an out of work bum look a lot alike, daddy.

            this is interesting, from the kid "For the first time all season, the staff rolled three lines as neither Peter McMullen nor Travis Jeke saw any ice time." vs Yukon no less which i guess i understand given last year's debacle. Jerry wasn't taking prisoners here

              When it gets to a point where mcmullen dresses, it's clear they don't want to play him. So that really makes it a 3 line game. Not ideal long term but can get away with it temporarily. No idea what's going on with silk but would be nice to get either him or calnan back as soon as possible.

                makes sense . Always hard to get info on any injury and with Silk, who knows? The Kid only mentions both being out but no reason given for Silk

                  You missed it...
                  As for the visitors, they will be without senior Brendan Silk (separated shoulder) and junior Chris Calnan (upper body). The staff will go with the same lineup as Saturday night with the only exception being Peter McMullen taking Chris Brown's spot on the fourth line.
                  Happy Thanksgiving All.

                          Upper level seats are bench. It shouldn't be hard to find empty lower bowl seats for this game.

                              by the time he hangs it up, if not already, Luke Kuechly will be/is the best player in any sport that BC has ever produced and is just as good a role model

                                Ummm, Joe Mullen, Brian Leetch, should I continue? ILB isn't considered that important of a position in pro football. He's a great player, but many BC hockey alums are far better in their sport.
