Ohhhh yeah. My memory stinks sometimes.

I said that if he plays like a major P.i.t.A. the way Alex Biega was for Harvard, then we've got a nice sandpaper like player on defense who's got some offensive skill as well.

Bailen won't need a seasoned vet paired w him...

That's a good point...he could easily handle being paired with a newbie...should be interesting to see how Vines' attacks the pairings... barring injury, I think Beauregard will be hard pressed to dress at D.

Agreed there, although Beauregard seems to work pretty well as the "message sender" to guys that slack off in practice. Lord knows that Beauregard works his tail off in practice and trying to crack the lineup. If other guys slack off, he gets in there and occasionally does some nice things (like the BU game last season). For what it's worth, I think he'll be more comfortable on defense just from a size and skating stand point. If any of the freshmen have some struggles, he'll get a shot on the third pair.

I will second that; I think he also made the most of his chance at the Niagara game (granted that's pretty much the highlight of that atrocity). If anything, what happens in practice, as well as off the ice, are just as important as what happens on the ice. I could definitely see Kevin also as a motivator for the players that may not get all of the playing time they think they deserve, like Justin Smith or Jordan Watts.

How do you know what they think they deserve?

I don't. The players have a personal thought, and the coach has the final say.

I'm starting to work on my Chinese, as I'm getting close with this hole. Maybe a few more losing streaks on here.

I agree with all of this and credit to him for being a motivated team player and battling in practice...not an easy thing to do when you know your ice time chances will be limited

In my experience, every player on the team thinks he should be playing every game,
In reality he may realize that he will not, but he still thinks he should.
If he doesn't, then maybe he should take up something other than competitive sports.
