I didn't buy tickets this year because I thought hiring Albie as the head coach was a bad decision. How's the team doing so far?

These guys are thinking about the NHL long-term. I would imagine everyone else has noticed (as I have) that they play better 1) against better competition, and 2) when the games mean more.

Re: BU Terriers 2018-19: Albie in Charge
Why did Oettinger change his number? #30 isn't playing like the #29 we used to know.
He has had a horrendous start this year. If it's because he's thinking about his NHL career, as someone has suggested, well.... this level of play isn't going to further that.
Giving up early goals (and often soft ones at that), and goals late in a period, kill any momentum that the team could build on. Down 1-0 inside the first minute of the game last night, a goal inside the last minute of the second period to make it 3-0 instead of going into the room down a pair, then another early goal 48 seconds into the third period - daggers to the heart of a team trying to climb out of a hole! And on two of the goals he was just clean beaten to the glove side when the sight lines on the shots were clear and unobstructed.
Give Max or Nico (or both - split time) the call against the Huskies on Thursday night. Everyone should have to earn their time, competition is a good thing, and Jake's not getting it done right now. Tuukka's getting pushed, and so should Jake be.

Interesting that both Woll and Oettinger are struggling. Could argue both had best seasons as freshmen
Also Carpenter has been our best and most consistent player the past two years
His production and impact falls way off when he plays wing as he did last night
Played a decent first period but went 0-3 on power play- not acceptable

Re: BU Terriers 2018-19: Albie in Charge
For the record, I don't buy the expensive beers at the games :-). And Scarlet is right, I park for free and walk. But most games I am buying 2 tickets. And usually $10 for something for my kid. I totally get why the games are expensive, I just think it is having an impact on attendance. Spending $28 for the game at Merrimack was worth it since the rink is 20 minutes away, vs. an hour for Agganis (would have been more worth it if they had scored a goal).
As far as the struggles of the team:
- I thought they looked good in the first period, the goal was a fluky bounce off of Crotty's leg. But the rest of the game was ugly (I stopped watching with about 8 minutes to go to watch the Sox). No offensive flow.
- Harper doesn't look right. Not sure if it is just a result of missing time, but he is losing the puck very early under pressure.
- Quercia continues to use his size, but he needs to be smarter. His penalty was at the end of a very physical shift and it just seemed like he was destined to end up in the box.
- Farabee is struggling to adjust to the speed.
- Even Fabbro has been struggling somewhat.
I'm not panicking, but the team needs to find it's rhythm soon or it will be win HE or no NCAA's.BU Hockey: The trophy case is once again growing

Completely agree on Harper. He's not readjusted yet and is a complete nonfactor. He's never been the most physical player but all you have to do is bump into him and he'll lose the puck. Hope his health is OK.
Definitely approaching a critical mass point and the level of play on the ice is going entirely in the wrong direction. Hopefully last night was a rock bottom point for them, it was embarrassing.¯\_(ツ)_/¯
