Eric Gryba has been called up to Ottawa. How many players now from the 2009 National Championship team have made it to the NHL?

"what happens when you leave / retire"?

Oh, well you'll either leave early or I'll kick you off the team before then anyway"

Re: Boston University 2012-13 Season Thread -- Part II

If what looks like will evidently happen (team continues to tank the rest of the season and Parker gets fired/resigns) then BU can kiss half their incoming recruits goodbye and probably most of the highly rated ones. There is going to be a downturn here for a few years in recruiting (though ironically you wont notice much difference in on-ice performance) but nothing isnt gained without a little pain ( we already got that for most of the past 15 years anyway).

I dont know... as I was asking earlier.. at this point, simply with Jack being at or near retirement age wouldn't most recruits be asking the question "what happens when you leave / retire"?

Hopefully Jack Eichel is watching all of this closely...

Sorry, just wanted to be consistent with the strange, baseless and repetitive smearing of Ms Mary.

Dude, I wish she would have been able to uncover something! But alas, she did not.

We got the joke yesterday

(If you feel the need to explain it after the fact, it probably wasn't a very good one to start with . Or the delivery leaves a bit to be desired)

Alleged.

How does the head coach not know what goes on in the locker room or if the players even like each other?

How can you possibly ask this after he was seemingly (not sure if he lied to the Task Force or just got old man I'm confused syndrome) unaware of the kegger and group sex going on at Louganis Arena after they won the title in 2009?

“I don’t know if he is the problem in the dressing room,” Parker said.

So he's saying there is a problem in the locker room, but he doesn't know who it is.

If there is a "problem" in the dressing room it does not necesarially have to lie with one individual, or even with a small group of individuals. There can be a team dynamic or chemistry problem that might not be attribitable to anyone in particular.

Team dicipline / confidence etc can be elusive in many ways.

“His problems were on the ice. He was taking stupid penalties and being undisciplined. So I have no idea. I think he is a well-liked kid on the team.”

How does the head coach not know what goes on in the locker room or if the players even like each other?

The head coach is with the team for what? 2 or 3 hours a day? As a coach it is hard to know what is going on for all the parts of the day that you are not with them. Sounds like he is saying that he is well liked, but of course you never know if there is some issue away from the ice that flies under the radar screen.

Re: Boston University 2012-13 Season Thread -- Part II

Take the cages off and it wouldn't happen. In USHL where they fight, he did none of that. Everyone is a tough guy in ncaa
Thus the instigator penalty debate goes on
Just like clendenning chirped a ton at bu but zero in ushl

Actually agree. Would be a different game if they took off the full cage.

Noonan hasn't been the same player since was given an "A" on his sweater. Perhaps that should be removed for undisciplined play.

The fact that noonan gets a letter as a jr pretty much sums up the state of the team.

Can I get a recap on this melodrama?

As much as this stinks for BU fans, at least the rapes have stopped.

ALLEGEDLY!

Re: Boston University 2012-13 Season Thread -- Part II

Does anybody recall a similar "suspension for the remainder of the season" from Parker? The fact that he has not been kicked off the team must mean something in terms of Parker's sentiment toward Privitera and his behavior.

While I am disappointed with Privitera, I agree with the move by Parker. Especially given that he had apparently told him that he was on his last chance. Maybe it's just because I watched very closely as the whole play developed. It is disturbing to know now that he fully knew what the result of his actions could be and he still decided to respond to the hit by taking a run at the Harvard player. It had to have been a full 10-12 seconds from the time he had been hit until the time he hit the guy back. That's a long time, plenty of time to think about what you are doing. And as I said in a previous post, he kept looking at the bench as he was skating up ice, seemingly looking for some sort of command or response.

I hope for his sake that Alexx can right the ship, decides to stay with the program, and his brother arrives next season.
