BU 2020-21 Season: The Road to … Nowhere?

[defkit]

Interesting to see the equipment, and remember some of those BU players, Danby Stirling etc (ugh) and Dean Blais for Minnie. I like the more subdued celebrations after a goal, guys acting like they have done it before, rather than the Euro football histrionics.

A couple other observations: 1) stand up goalies looked very off-balance on a regular basis 2) Minnesota's headgear looked like that won by boxers when they are practicing.

So, yeah. Albany. Have game times been announced?

Was kind of hoping for an old time BU-Lake State game.

Is anyone going? *smilie*

Hey, Albany is allowing fans! Bridgeport is not.

So, St Cloud in Albany - deja vu from 2000. It will be a good test. Here’s hoping this year’s version of Albany ends up a little better than that one at the end of the weekend.

My wife somehow came across this and asked if I had ever heard of Brandon Yip:

Sean Pickett will know this for sure but what I remember about the SLU game was the broadcast went off air because of a Celtics game and then came BACK to the hockey game that was still going on once the Celtics game ended. Do I have that right?

[Bomber]

Yikes on the Yip story. BU beat SLU 5-3 in 2000. I don't think that's the off air/back on air game, but 21 years ago was 21 years ago.

Happy to have bonus hockey. I hope all teams make it to the weekend healthy and virus free.

[J.D.]

Oh, I just meant that weekend. BU beat SCSU and then lost to SLU in the OT game.

My bad for screwing up the abbreviations. 5-3 W against SCSU. Then 6 hours of a bizillion saves against SLU. Thank God that was a Noon start. I was there, so didn't experience the TV shenanigans.

I remember calling my mom to ask her to tape the Oscars. Since the game started at noon, I thought we would be home in time for the start of the show but nooooo.

I was living in ATL in 2000. Saw the "first part" of the 4OT game at a bar (the designated BU location), but I think it eventually went off air. But honestly, I'm not sure. I know the bar didn't switch to the Celtics the way the local station here did.

I do remember that some idiot poster was jumping all over Dan Cavanaugh for costing us the game...as if any player should have legs after two full games.

[J.D.]

Was it Rover? ha. Or maybe Limey?
