Actually it was encouraging to see a large student turnout Saturday afternoon
Have to keep them engaged throughout the season as it makes for a much better atmosphere

I agree, the 4PM start didn't seem to hurt student attendance on Saturday.

I like the "Athi, Athi, Athi, / Oy Oy Oy" chant... new and creative.

So it sounds like there is yet another internet slapfight going on... I think we should let Hokydad break the tie. Hokes, what's the word?

I've been to almost every home game for the past 3 years and don't think I ever heard it.... Maybe it's the first time the students were loud enough for the middle sections to hear.

I suppose we should get this out of the way, but BC Twitter Kid has been spewing rumors today about an apparent rule broken by Danny and Eichel for which Danny was "suspended two games" and Eichel supposedly got "25 hours of community service." That has since been refuted by an actual reporter quoting a source saying there's no truth to it whatsoever.

Carry on. Oi oi oi ain't new, either.

When we see DoR skating Friday at UMass we'll know the truth

I think you have me confused with someone else. If this kid is wrong again, it will be bye bye credibility.

According to Scott McLaughlin he is questionable for Friday with a minor injury.

FWIW, McLaughlin's source also said Danny sat because he was "pretty banged up" so I suppose in theory that could lead to him not playing Friday if he was still injured.

Re: BU season thread I - 2014-2015

Exactly what Agganis needs to feel more exciting. I've been to some other Hockey East arenas and did you know they're mostly students?!?! Who wants to go to a game where a bunch of drunken teenagers yell chants and cheer relentlessly? Give me an arena where I get to listen to parents explain the rules of the game to their 4-year-olds while the kid complains that the game on his/her ipad isn't working. The mites games during intermission are the crowds favorite part because half of them have friends or siblings on the ice and the other half are rooting for their kids. How long until they ban students completely and put a ball pit in 118? Give me some clowns roaming the arena making balloon hockey sticks during the game too. Wouldn't want the little ones to get bored.

Glad you're on board! Actually, now that I think about it, Sunday at 2pm would be perfection. (And I love the clown animal idea. #TotesAwesome)

Re: BU season thread I - 2014-2015

Not that it's important, but did the STU coach and Quinn exchange words at center ice after the game? It appeared that the STU coach may have been steamed about the score, and let DQ know about it.

Hard to read body language, but I would say their handshake didn't look as warm and fuzzy as it could have been.

What did he want Quinn to do, dump and change every time? They were allowing goals on half-windups and backhanders. I'm pretty sure the top line didn't take the ice once in the 3rd and Eichel was only out on the PK. If you're giving up goals to Kevin Duane, that's your fault.

I don't think they were *deliberately* running up the score. But what's BU supposed to do on a 5-minute PP when up 8-1?

STU didn't help their own cause w/ an undermanned roster, shoddy D, beleaguered goaltending, plus the dirty hit on Moran. They pretty much waved the white flag after it was 6-0. Chances are we probably won't see STU back at Agganis anytime soon.
