Boston College Offseason (Continued)

Re: Boston College Offseason (Continued)

NU will finish better than BC and they will go on to lose to Brown in St. Paul next April. May as well go for the entire pipedream.

Enourmous turnover at BC next year and NU is bringing in some talent, including the biggest D in league. You never know

Thats true, we will probably lose a lot of talent, but we should reload with some skilled recruits. Either way, I think I think its basically impossible to predict what will happen in two years. we barely know the crazy stuff that will happen this year. who knows all of the unexpected things that could happen. some kid who is looking at less playing time at NU due to Cody's arrival might transfer to BC

obviously the last part was not serious.

He will mature under Cronin

Do you mean physically or mentally? Physically he will, but mentally Cronin is the worst coach to deal with a headcase like little Cody. Cronin is a hot-head and won't teach the kid how to deal with his emotions like York would have.

I will tell you this, Ferriero would have a much better shot at professional success studying under York than Cronin. The kid made an immature and career changing mistake. How many NHL kids has Cronin had vs. York?

York has the elite studs (Kreider, Kobasew, Schneider), etc but also has helped put raw kids like Ryan Shannon and Peter Harrold into the NHL.

Finally, NU will NOT be better than BC in two years (I assume by 'next year' you mean 2011-2012). You're crazy if you think so, even with the anticipated defections next summer.

York is a 2010 Lester Patrick Award winner (along with Cam Neely, AHL President David Andrews and that guy down the street).

Good find. Agree with their assessment on Lyles. Tools to work with, but needs polish. Hope he gets that ice time and wish him nothing but the best.

Lyles was a great kid. I has a class with him last semester. I agree, I wish him nothing but the best.

off topic but i was at the football home opener......3 tickets $30 total for upper end zone which are better than lower end zone ($20), that's a pittance for a great afternoon at the Heights and to see Mark Herzlich lead the team on the field? yup, priceless! GO MARK!

Boise plays good teams out of conference because if they didn't, they wouldn't play any good teams at all.

exactly, whenever possible they play good teams (and usually win) you can only fault them for being in a bad conference once they start turning down bids to join the Pac(insert two digit number here), until then stop whining
