  • Re: Boston College 2015-2016 Season

    I don't think York had anything to do with it but fair is fair.

    He walked out on the team after only 5 games and didn't even tell the coach face to face his sudden departure. If you make a commitment then keep your word at least for a year. You walk out on your team mates and burn a scholarship. I think some of his team mates said it best, if he didn't want to be here, good riddance.

    Thinking about it, maybe USA Hockey looked at it and said, if he walked out on York, maybe he will do the same on our team when it doesn't suit him anymore. "We only want guys who want to be here."

      I have no idea if York was responsible or not, but I'd bet he has some influence with the guys at USA hockey. It's a relatively small community and Bracco burnt a bridge related to someone who has been in that community a long time.

        They may have asked for his opinion but i would think they already know bracco well enough via other tournaments and camps etc. I certainly don't think york would go out of his way to campaign against bracco. I just find it very hard to believe.

            Maybe USA hockey wasn't looking for someone who would take his ball and go home a couple games into the tournament if he wasn't placed on the first line?

              Lots of good players out there at 96 level. Garland for example is much better and would fit that role better. York had nothing to do with it, has moved on and is above that
              If I asked by the right protected source, he of course would share his honest direct opinion but what high end coach doesn't.
              He didn't get invited because he is not better than the players invited. He is a 97 and will probably get his turn next year.

                I was just about to say, I wonder what hoky thinks of this. Obviously you and I both have been critical of previous bad decisions by Team USA but this really doesn't seem like that bad of a decision. Can't have a kid that is a b!itch ruining team chemistry during this tournament or a kid that is afraid to go into corners because he is #notagrinder.

                We all know York had nothing to do with this (Tater, how is the attendance analysis going for this season?).

                That Bracco family meltdown on twitter last night was priceless. And to be honest it was spectacular to see in almost a sad way. BUT BUT BUT he is the all-time assist leader!!!!!!

                It's shocking but who could have guessed that when you become an adult and you make decisions, they might actually have consequences.

                REALLY REALLY REALLY want to see USA get the gold now without him.

                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.

                  I wonder what Hanafin, White, and some of his other former teammates think of him?

                    Is Jonathan Bracco his father?
                    That community is already in the process of dissolution where each man begins to eye his neighbor as a possible enemy, where non-conformity with the accepted creed, political as well as religious, is a mark of disaffection; where denunciation, without specification or backing, takes the place of evidence; where orthodoxy chokes freedom of dissent; where faith in the eventual supremacy of reason has become so timid that we dare not enter our convictions in the open lists, to win or lose.

                      Elite prospects says it is his uncle. Whatever the relation, he is a sweet little mongoloid.

                        Great pic of him in a giants jersey and yankees hat. You'd think someone in the bracco camp would tell him to put a lid on his twitter account. But maybe this guy is leading the bracco camp. Scary thought!

                          Also wonder about any possible tension between white/tuch and bracco. Maybe they wanted to avoid that at all costs.

                                I went to look at BC stats after reading that Tuch isn't getting an invite to the World Junior camp either. Wow. Raise your hand if you had Matthew Gaudreau outscoring Alex Tuch before the season started.
