Boston University 2012-13 Season Thread -- Part II

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

“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.

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?

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)

group sex

Alleged.

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.

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

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"?

[mookie1995]

"what happens when you leave / retire"?

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

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

Wilson, Bonino, Gilroy, McCarthy, Shatty, Strait and Gryba I believe. Not sure if Cohen had cup of coffee in the pros yet.

According to BHB, Alexx will indeed not be practicing or working out with the team during this suspension.... and he is no longer listed on the roster on goterriers.com

While I don't disagree with the punishment, I'm not sure I agree with suspending him from workouts as well. Had it been me, I might have done it more like "benched for the season" but still part of the team for workouts etc....

Were those conditions set by Parker or conditions happening as a result of Alexx possibly deciding to leave the program?

That part is unknown (at least to me).
