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

[DNAEagle]

Farkas had an unbelievable handle, one of the best ever. I played golf with him a few years ago and we shared memories of the game. It was an absolute snipe. Very good guy.

37th goal of the year. Mercy.

I believe he had two 4-goal games that season. One against BC, don't recall who the other was against. What a treat he was to watch - the best combination of skill and determination I've seeing my years following BU Hockey.

Technically 4-2 as Gionta had an ENG quite literally at the buzzer. I didn't even realize BC trailed going into the 3rd in that one. But that game was tight as heck and Farkas had a dazzling rush up the ice from his own blue line with a few minutes left to play to win it. You never see a replay of that one anywhere and it was an absolutely brilliant one-man effort and snipe. BC needs to get out the old footage from the archive.

Sean, you're right, 2-days for that old regional format. Derp.

I was thinking Farkas had an impact in that game. He was a player.

He was a terrific college player.

Perhaps, the BC guys can respond.

I have a vague memory that Jerry York had a "Jeff Farkas Drill" while he was at BC; some kind of punishment exercise?

Drury only had one 4-goal game that season, vs BC on 11 Dec 1996. His other 4-goal game came the season before vs Merrimack on 9 Dec 1995 (his first hat trick). He did have 2 other hat tricks during 1996-97: 1 Nov 1996 vs UMass and 26 Nov 1996 vs Harvard. All three hat trick his junior season were at WBA.

He was a terrific college player.

BU and BC played 4 times during the 1999-2000 season. The Terriers were able to keep Farkas to only 3 assists in the first three games, but in the regular season finale he broke out and scored a hat trick to lead the Eagles to a 6-2 victory at Conte Forum.

Fitzie was the ref in the BC Maine HE final somewhere back in early 2000. 1-1 game with less than 30 seconds left , Ozone faceoff for Maine, Walsh calls a TO, sets up a draw back to Niko, Larose pulls Matteau down with his stick, incredible non call. Nike goes around the prone Matteau and scores with a second left. That was a time when there was only one ref on the ice and no replay but it was among the worse non calls I have every seen. Every one in the Garden expected a call. That was the last game I ever saw him ref. That one left a mark.

I can't remember what I did on Thursday, but this I can see vividly. It was truly a horrendous non-call. Can you imagine the epic nutty Walsh would have thrown if the roles were reversed?

[Rover]

Was it Rover? ha. Or maybe Limey?

Don't think it was me. I was watching that game at my parents house and then left to drive an hour plus back to Boston, and when I got back to my apartment the game was still on!

For these playoffs, if we can get past the St Cloud Stoners (a big IF) and take out BC I will take back most of what I said about Albie this year and personally treat him to the all you can eat buffet at a Golden Corral of his choice with a 24 hour limit on how long he can spend there.

[J.D.]

As long as we're going down regional memory lane and an all you can eat buffet, Sandwichgate was good for a few laughs. I forget the year but you guys will know what I am talking about.

[Carmine Scarpaglia]

We're approaching the 20th anniversary of Walsh's last game. There will never be another Shawn Walsh. An absolutely shame that he left this earth early. I hated the man when he was coaching but looking back now, can you imagine what he would have given us as simple "college hockey fans" over the past 20 years?

[OldAlum]

Is anyone going? *smilie*

I’m going!

Not sure of the year, but I believe Harvard was in that regional.

As I recall, Jack said "Turkey and lettuce on wheat. Very healthy".

[J.D.]

You are both correct:
