Re: The Truth About The Cats and Dogs - BU/UNH 11/20 and 11/21

Shot in the dark...

At the Championship game in DC, .. And they proceeded to cheer for BU with us as loudly and vociferously as they could for the rest of the game. I'll never forget looking over and seeing UNH jersey-clad fans chanting and clapping "GO BU! GO BU!" with as much conviction as a real Terrier fan. When we tied the game, they went totally bananas and were *almost* as happy as we BU fans were...

I was indeed one of those guys. I'm not ashamed to admit on here that we did cheer vociferously for BU in the FF
We'll be at both games this weekend, but not rooting for BU this time!

This story illustrates what's special about college hockey and its fans.

Nice one Beaner and Rock!

Coupla quick points;

- radio on tape delay 'cuz of bball??!! Ahem, but that's a defending D1 National Champ you are deferring there.

- should be fascinating to see Warso up front for this one hope it means more pts and may increase his pro chances in the long run.

- how does the Warsofsky move affect the d pairings and power play?

So wait, no TV or radio tonight!?

I don't like this Warso up front move. Don't like it at all.

Check WTBU, I don't know if they sent people up to do this game, but otherwise, go for UNH radio. Or hack a video feed? If one exists? I need to find this information out as well.

Good game for the Cats tonight.... not sure what to make of this team this year. We play a good game or two and then look totally inept the next time out. Odd. Guess that is not much different than the whole season thus far across the board.

Thanks to the BU posters on the Score Update thread tonight... good guys and girl... (sorry about your ticket problem, Scarlet).... the BU fanbase is probably my fave on the boards during the games. Always come across as good, fair guys.... not unlike ourselves, I think. So thanks. Hopefully some (if not all) make it back for tomorrow's game.

Solid win for the Cats tonight. The biggest thing that I really noticed tonight were the penalty kills, which were quite numerous...but finally successful, possibly resulting from BU's previously noted ineffectiveness on the PP. However, that may be the confidence boost this team needs after giving up a goal nearly every man-down situation this year.

Furthermore, Damon Kipp is playing well. I may be starting to turn my opinion on the kid. He's played yet another vastly improved game, made some heads up plays and...scored a goal?!?

He's not quite ready to be upgraded to Damon Kipp: Version 2.0, but I'm glad that there's a patch for the existing stuff which clearly had a number of bugs in it.

FYP.

Thanks to you guys too. It was fun.

Obviously not the outcome we'd like to see as BU fans, though. It seems BU can't put in a consistant effort without falling apart. Sure, they are young and have injuries, but we can't keep blaming that when the veterans don't step up.

How did Warso look at forward? And why was this necessary? What's up with Glass and Gilroy?

Quote from Concord Monitor article (11-20-09) by Dave D'Onofrio:

"Seeing Boston University celebrate a national championship last spring after the Terriers had squeaked by them with the benefit of a questionable penalty call and a fortuitous bounce, the UNH players didn't let it go ignored. They discussed it, in private and with the team, and took note of how close they'd come to the top."

Maybe I should think about becoming a sportswriter. Obviously, these are views of unabashed homers. Last year's BU team was clearly the best in the nation.

By far.

Yes, goodwin by the cats last night. Great to see guys like Henrion and Kipp burry a few pucks.
I thought Warsofsky played decently on the first line. was definitely a factor. Carried the puck well, showed some speed and assertiveness. Although.. he is a D man. I thought Kapstad was better at O!

Although I must admit watching UNH on the odd man rush last night looked a lot like Tommy Boy trying to sell brake pads.. the similarities are soo close!

oh, well. Hoping for continued success down in Boston tonight. .UNH has got to be feeling good. If they can just connect on a few of those odd man rushes!!
