Re: Boston College Eagles 2011-2012 season thread

Congrats goes out to Arnold and Gaudreau for being named to the US World Junior Preliminary roster. Camp starts December 17th with exhibition games on the 20th against Russia and 21st against Switzerland. Roster will be announced on the 22nd. Arnold has a pretty good shot at making the team and Gaudreau is a long shot but with Grimaldi out it looks like a competition between Tynan and Rau for one of the last spots. Here's the full list of all invited...

By the way, If both made it, they would only miss the Great Lakes Tourny vs Michigan and vs. MSU/MTU

Now that my former main squeeze at the Heights has a new 'bestie" I'm relegated to the odd Tuesday night game if I'm lucky. I look forward to seeing some of you irregulars tonight. I just hope that the Eagles don't spend the entire game flopping and diving like they're known for!!!

I think we definitely see Billet tonight. That 4th line is fun to watch. If they can master the art of playing responsible by suffocating the puck carrier, they will be huge for this team. Give them a few more games to feed their confidence, then match them up against the opponent's top line. It's exactly what this team was missing last year. Nothing personal, but Tommy Atkinson and Brownie are slightly out of their league. They can survive, but they'll never thrive as a 4th line. By creating favorable match-ups, this current 4th line has potential to take BC to the next level.

Fire up the skillet, here comes Billet !! They say Brian and whoopie pies go hand and mouth. But no one flops like Gionta, or do they? Hey, if Parker says they're floppers, then they're floppers.

Great points, agreed on all. I'd be shocked if we didn't see BIllet tonight.

good, I'm really looking forward to this one. Looked like a walk over when the schedule came out but no longer. Funny (or not for PC fans) that the coach has made such a huge difference though i don't know what recruits came in and how they may have helped but the turnaround has been amazing really......

I don't know about matching up this particular line (all freshmen) with the other team's top line, but I do think they'll get more ice time.

Another skillet joke? Man, I wish we had Ouellette and Sullivan down here!!!

Learn what the word but means...

And BU isn't playing PC tonight. BC is...quite the obsession you have.
