Re: BU season thread I - 2014-2015

boring with mookie's terriors off

so i see that dr angelo esposito is apparently out of hockey.
ethan werek is finally getting to play in providence. but for the little b's and not against the friars.
matt lashof is playing in europe.

...anyone else escaping mookie's mind that i can check upon??

Adam Erne
Something DeAngelo (not Beverly ) Anthony?

I think they both picked Major Junior at the same time

Pat Kane (boy what a mistake that was for him)

I know Erne was on the WJC squad last year.

You could always check in on Wesley Myron.

Michigan Tech should be #1. 10-0!!!

Absolutely. They beat Michigan twice and Ferris Beuller twice, (ranked 15 at the time).

Save Ferris.

Re: BU season thread I - 2014-2015

DoR needs 27 pts to reach 100
Rodriguez needs 29
Holmann needs 34
Eichel needs 85

BU is a woeful .433 on faceoffs this season (with questionable stat-keeping to begin with) 204/471
Eichel is listed as performing at a slightly better clip .443 (85/192)

BU is taking too many penalties -- avg 2.8 pp chances/game vs giving up 4.6

3/22 on the pp
5/37 on the pk

Would it be illegal to pay Patrice Bergeron to teach the boys how to win face-offs? He lives in town.

O'Regan will certainly reach the century mark, since he has an extra year. Rodrigues should. Hohmann I doubt. I predict Eichel will get to 100 before any of them (in the NHL that is).

Imagine all the penalties is Alexxxx and Garrett were on this team!

The phrase "I'll have $20 out at pump 4" dominates his life.

Those first two are still young'uns who could very well do right by their decision (as that Kane kid did )
Would-be jr Wes appears to be out of work....

Did you mean to snub Gryba?

No, the guys I mentioned were just more recent. Should I add Scott Shaunessy?

Glad that someone else remembers Shag.

I just looked at the numbers. His 266 PIM while at BU is a substantial body of work, but doesn't come close to Gryba's 354, if I've done my arithmetic right. But Shaunessy really hit is stride in the AHL with 257 minutes one season for Fredericton. More games, of course, but that's a statement.

I can still see his goal in the 1986 HE Final. #MemoryLane

No movement. BU stays at #3.

I'm good with this. Michigan Tech should be #1. We only played one game last week. This weekend should be interesting.

Especially when you consider that none of the teams BU has played currently have a winning record (though partly thanks to losses at the hands of BU). But at least they're beating those .500 or below teams (for the most part). In past seasons, that Uconn game would have been a loss and the same with that Maine game. You've gotta win the games you should.

On another note, can someone explain to me why BU and Maine didn't just play on Saturday instead of having the second game this Friday? Now BU has 3 games in 5 days coming up. Is anyone else getting ready to write off that Harvard game? Did anyone else realize BU hasn't beaten them since February of 2012? They have a longer winning streak against BU than BC did. Max Nicastro was still on the team the last time BU beat Harvard.

In fairness, 60% of Tech's wins are over Lake State, UAA, and Bemidji, who have a combined 9-23-1 record, and everyone has a combined 19-32-1, so their schedule is far from world beaters. Nonetheless, they deserve it having beaten everyone they've faced.

Wow I hadn't realized that. Michigan's really struggling which is surprising; they needed two wins over AIC this weekend to help their record out too.

At the end of the day, you go with the eyeball test and BU passes that with flying colors. Throw opponents' records out the window, they'll be there in April.

Keep an eye out for Harvard, though. Haven't been that impressed with a Crimson squad in.. well since I started watching college hockey.
