    In the post-Drury and pre-2009 years, the only BU forwards who have played in the NHL are Corazzini (12 games w/ B's), Mike Pandolfo (3 games w/ Columbus), Ferro Skladany (1 game w/ Colorado), and VDG (42 games w/ Calgary and Colorado).

    Since 2009: McCarthy, Yip, Bonino, Wilson, Chiasson, Coyle, Nieto. All but McCarthy (currently in AHL in Chicago) and Yip (currently in AHL in Norfolk) are top 6/top 9 forwards on their respective teams.
    What is your source on Skladany? Hockey Reference lists him and there's a page for him, but it lists only his DOB and Draft Status. Hockey db doesn't list any NHL games for him. Also, there's no plaque for him on the wall at Agganis along with the other BU NHL players.

      You're right, my bad on Skladany actually playing in an NHL game. He was called up by the Avs and skated in pre-game warmups one game (in the 2005-06 season), but was a healthy scratch.

          Interesting indeed. Had heard he was possibly headed to UMASS.

              Two surgeries last season limited him to a handful of games, some of them in Finland. Now that fugitive Eric Frein has been captured, Colby's slapper may be the most lethal thing in Central PA.

                He played a few games for the Nottingham Panthers in the EIHL at the start of their season. Chris Higgins currently plays for the Panthers.

                I think Colby has had recurring hip problems over the years. I recall hearing that while at BU he had several cortizone injections just to enable him to play through the pain, especially in the 2009-10 season.

                    What caused him to fall out of favor at bu - besides the need to retrieve his scholarship.

                      He got sick in the fall of his sophomore year and missed a bunch of games, came back from it, played a few games, and then quit immediately after playing in Fenway.

                      Rumormonger elsewhere, please.

                                Excuse me Agnes, how does asking a simple question become rumor mongering in your mind?
