    So has Hockey East adopted this as a policy new this year? Don't care what other conferences do... they should shake hands after every game.

      If it is a new HE policy it isn't being followed by all the teams. Lowell and Northeastern shook hands last night after game one of their weekend series.

        I've written and read all these things on here THIS season. .
        Allow me to go on record as never having said anything like this.

        I don't want to get too crazy about beating NU, Harvard, and PC...but they look really strong.

        Hopefully this train keeps rolling tonight and for the rest of the season.

        Cheers.
        Yup...obviously anything can happpen going forward, but they sure do look good right now. Hopefully the players and coaches alike are feeding off this positive energy and they keep it up all season long. Win or lose, it sure it a lot of fun watching this team when they are playing with this type of bounce in their step.

        Tonight will be interesting... I sure hope BU remembers more about the first PC game this season than they do about last night.

        If any of the guys are reading... dont take your foot of the gas.. go down there tonight and show them that last night was not some sort of fluke.

          Saw one last night for example
          bu has only had one h/h so far this season - bc @/H dec 2-3. they shook after both games.

          i'm just saying...

            Yeah, but I can't increase my post count on there.

            I meant that since it was 6-1 late in the game at that point, comments had slowed way down, so people must not have felt the need to post so often.

              one game series they do, if it is a 2 game weekend series they usually do after 2nd game....They will shake hands tonight
              The PC coach is a class act and wouldn't disrespect anyone.
              you're wrong, every home and home I've ever seen in Hockey East watching UNH since early 90's, they've shaken after the first game as well as the 2nd unless there was reason to believe an incident would happen. And I'm really surprised they didn't shake last night at Lawler.

                The second most amazing thing I saw last night was Santana charging like a bull across the PC blueline, but instead of breaking any china, he daintily chipped the puck up and over the sprawled goalie, and into the net. (Incidentally, Santana's 0.25 goals per game tops the departed number three's 0.1875.)

                But for the visual highlight, it had be the stick of the PC's players spinning for the rafters only to be returned and deftly caught in midair. (Reminded me of the parade scene in Animal House.) Has anyone posted that clip?

                  Agreed. I think the one exception is in the first round of the HE playoffs where they wait till the series is over.

                    I think the officials sent the teams off the ice before handshakes since play was getting chippy in the final minutes. I saw Benedetto pointing toward the locker rooms after the game ended. I cannot imagine a first year head coach willingly showing up the most tenured coach in the league like that on his home ice without some sort of pre-arranged agreement that handshakes would be saturday night. That said, I cannot remember a single time where during a home and home, there were no handshakes on friday. I'm having trouble even remembering the last time the officials sent the teams off the ice prior to handshakes to prevent further dust ups.
                    ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

                      The WCHA has been doing this for years. I've noticed it lately in HE, as well.

                      • Handshake protocol should only change when Parker wants it to change. Who's in charge here anyway?

                          This was only our second time this season with a btb... Could have been happening all over and I'd never have known

                            Re: Handshakes

                            Apparently it was a decision made by the players on the Friars bench without Leaman's knowledge. He actually came back into the press conference room to explain. I was in the adjoining room and didn't fully catch it, but whether it was players' response to their captain Danny New being kicked out or he was implying that if New had been on the bench there would have been a handshake, I'm not sure.

                            BU fans have definitely seen a no postgame handshake at Agganis before - against Northeastern. In that case it was the officials' decision, but while Benedetto officiated both games, he did not make the call this time.

                              I agree. Nothing like some handshake protocol talk on a snowy winter's day.

                                Interesting tidbit found online, apparently this is the first time we've been atop the HE standings in January since 2005. Was NU ahead of us the whole month of January in 09?
