How did he not score more goals last year?

The 50 billions dollar question right there.....

Even if they put up a hard border between the north and south again, there should be no worries about travel from the Republic to the north, I would think it would be like going from the US to Canada. It will be interesting to see how it all pans out. I had a great time there, did my trip for a week independently and saved a boatload of money compared to the Cara weeklong trip. Those kids on Friday were hilarious.

It's a time thing. Our bus driver/tour guy told us it could take more than two hours to get through the border once it goes back up. It's a two hour trip, add on another two hours and you've just lost a day.

An email today announced that the Friends of BU Hockey Lounge will be open for FOBUH donors immediately following Friday's game against BC. Kudos to Albie O'Connell for insisting on re-opening the lounge that was closed the past few seasons.

ICYMI--a good read about David Quinn and the hemophilia that ended his playing career and his path into coaching. Also on the blog.

Food for thought...Brady Tkachuk has 9 goals in 14 games for the Sens. How much of a difference would he have made on this BU team if he returned?

For the record, I'm pleasantly surprised by how well his game has transitioned to the NHL at age 19. I strongly believed he made the wrong decision when he decided to leave BU and felt he really needed another year to further develop his game. Kinda glad to see I'm being proven wrong so far.

I was going to post something similar. 8 games at BU last year, already has 9 in the NHL. I absolutely didn't think he was ready. Now, I'll remind that Alex Chiasson had a great start to his NHL career, I think scoring in his first 6 games or something like that, and then slowed down enough that his current great run with Edmonton is a big surprise. But I think Brady will continue to rack up points. Not sure if he was intimidated last year and passed the puck too much, or if he had to dial back his physicality to not get too many penalties. I also think he matured a ton - remember his lady back-check on the late goal by Michigan?

All these kids having immediate success in the NHL right after leaving BU certainly isn’t bad for recruiting!

I too was of the opinion that he needed another year at BU. Kudos to him for proving me wrong. Needless to say he would likely be a difference maker on the team this year.

At least we’ve got that going for us.

BC is terrible so this is really pathetic. Who decided to hire this guy?

Whatever they're doing with the goalie coaching is inexcusable.

BC is terrible and BU just lost to them. My God.

#18 on BC looks like he’d rather be getting a root canal. What a dog he is.

BU Hockey: Not good.
