    Very hard worker, aggressive.

    In fairness pretty easy to go after blue chippers at BU or Harvard, did zero at Merrimack. When you are going after Bracco, Macavoy etc types hard to miss on their ability level

    Can't agree that UND was Isn't the goalie part of the team? And if OC was better than McIntyre in that game.....
    Of course, we'd have never seen that match-up if Duluth had taken care of business in the regional as some insisted.
    Mullen graduated before Zanc did

    UND was a better team
    So how did BU win if North Dakota was the far strong and better team? Maybe the coaching? BTW, could you please post your list of "worst uses of a timeout in NCAA Championships"?

    Without Parkers recruits, BU would have been Merrimack this season, same as last year, without Eichel
    Stop with the broken record already! Or at least stop copy and pasting the same line.

    Funny how PC coach gets ton of credit for Unions championship, and he was 3 years removed but Parker gets squat.
    Totally different situations: Coach Leaman took over a Union program just starting to improve under Coach Sneddon and turning it into an annual ECAC and NCAA contender. He then moved on to Providence and took a program mired in the dumps (with 5 straight losing seasons) and turned them into a Hockey East and NCAA contender the past two seasons. On the other hand Coach Parker took a BU program that had been an annual Hockey East and NCAA contender in the opposite direction. Only one Hockey East championship game appearance and one NCAA appearance in his last four seasons.

    BU's pipeline is fantastic going forward and I would be surprised if they don't win a couple over next 5 years, shocked. If the kids stay. For first time in years, they are blowing BC away on the recruiting front, which doesn't surprise me with Albie over there. Would assume he is looking to leave as he usually stay at one team for about 45 minutes
    Are you saying that all the recruits coming in for Coach Quinn have been recruited by Albie O'Connell? As for him looking to leave, I expect all top assistants to look for their own head coaching opportunities.

    In fact, BU was lucky to even be in the playoffs! They should have finished last in Hockey East! They stink! Horrific! Worst team I've ever seen!

Still, if anyone was paying attention on that face off PC would not have had the gift open look for the GW

    Amen. I thought O'Connor started to pick up his play during the 2nd half of this year about the time scouts were sniffing around to sign him to a pro contract but obviously that all went to hell real quick.
