    It was Isaac Kodsi. As you pointed out, he would only get into the game if it was a blowout. So he was a fan favorite but a little different than Gryba or Morrow. More like Chris Bise [remember him?].

      While we are off topic, I am sure this belongs on some other thread but ... great win by the BU Women yesterday. Definitely a huge step forward for the program. And nice move by Coach P. and Bonino to go to Providence for the game.

        Well, I'm sure Bonino had his own reasons for being there -- some here may know what I mean.

        Still, good to see the support going both ways there. The team practiced at WBA a few weeks back and I was kind of surprised to see how many of the players stopped to chat with Brian Durocher. Of course, Durocher is a very nice, easy to talk to guy, but was a bit surprised to see how familiar he was with the players on a personal level and vice versa.

          Haha, I don't think that's much of a secret.

              Nice! I couldn't believe it wasn't on SportsCenter that night.

              Man, I can picture the guy, but that name just doesn't ring a bell. Oh well. My first guess -- because of how the name sounded -- was Francis Kalitsi. Then I remembered he was West African, so it wasn't him.

              I'm almost feeling the playoff hockey. Just give me another day.

                srs is right. It was definitely Isaac. And yes, Quinn Synder was the dunker.

                    Moving forward, is it all Cannata all the time this weekend? I know Brathwaite had been getting some minutes during the season, against us too.
                    It's been back and forth but I'd have to say Cannata gets the starts from here on out.

                    However it is worth noting that I said the same thing about Braithwaite a few weeks ago-- just before the Warriors lost at home to NU in a game Braithwaite started, and I think Cannata has started every game since then except the last one at home against Providence on Senior Night.

                    Looking at Merrimack's two tenders against BU, I'd have to say Cannata gets the nod. He was the starter in the Warriors' win against the Terriers at Volpe, and he came on in relief of Braithwaite after a four-goal first period at Agganis and the team almost finished the comeback.

                    In short, Cannata gave up 4 goals over 5 periods against BU (3 at Volpe, 2 at Agganis), while Braithwaite gave up that many in one period at Agganis.

                    Sure, that's not a huge sample size to go on, but Cannata has played well and is the "hot" guy between pipes right now, and is also the goalie of the future as he's an underclassman... so yes, I'd say barring a monumental mental collapse, Cannata is getting the starts this weekend.

                          I'm pretty sure he recruited a bit of the upperclassmen. Or at least had a hand in recruiting them.

                          As for the first paragraph, all I have to say is that they're both good kids and I'm happy for em.
