Boston College Eagles 2019-20 - No Chit!

RPI not allowing fans next weekend. I have to think more teams will do the same.

Wow ridiculous. Are they shutting down classes as well at schools in the area? All public transportation in the area?

Have to believe they are more concerned with fans coming from other places. I believe the capital district only has one case whereas the Biogen conference in Boston that had cases is a Cambridge centered company.

Westchester county north of NYC and the area around Seattle are the only 2 highly centered areas for it in the country as of now. I can see those areas closing off events.

Getting back to the RPI had one game gone differently today BC would probably be back into 4th in the PWR. After the Yale win BC moved .0001 closer to 4th being off by .0005. Then with the Notre Dame loss to Minnesota BC dropped to .0015 behind. The reason: UMD's 2 wins over Minnesota gave them a boost and BC's 2 wins over Notre Dame suddenly became less valuable. Had the result been reversed it likely would have given BC enough of a boost to pass UMD.

I think I posed this before but would you rather be in Worcester with UMD or potentially Albany with Cornell? Selfishly, Worcester would be great but...

Definitely Albany. As of today I think we would get ASU and the winner of Cornell v Michigan. A possible semifinal v Minnesota St. The other side of the bracket would have (1) North Dakota , (4) UMD & (5) Denver.

Go Eagles!

I'm ok with it since I won't be subjected to Jeff Jackson hockey in the tournament

That's a good point. Obviously you have to beat good teams along the way but avoiding that NCHC triumvirate until the national title game so you only have to beat one of them would be ideal. I know, getting ahead of myself.

I know I had brought this up a few months or years back with regard to recruiting but to update this list... it's really interesting to see how this senior class mostly stuck together. I used to track recruiting in a spreadsheet, at one point I just stopped updating it when life got busy but this "snapshot" of where we once stood is interesting. At this one point in time, our current senior class looked like this:

Graham McPhee
Connor Moore
David Cotton
Luke McInnis
Michael Campoli
Joseph Woll
Jesper Mattila
Michael Booth
Logan Hutsko
Julius Mattila
Mike Merulla
Ryan Edquist

10 of those 12 are still here; Booth and Campoli didn't work out and left. No one left early for the pros from this list. Further down the line into the future from that point in time of said "snapshot", obviously it's less certain but I do find it crazy how these classes turned out (it probably worked out fairly reasonably well for us given where we are now).

2017 at one point was Monte Graham, Joseph Cassetti, Mitchell Martan, Casey Carreau, Zach Walker, and Eeli Tolvanen. 2 of those 6 are still here, and Carreau left for a year off and came back so at one point it was only 1 of 6.

2018 was TJ Walsh, Chris Grando, Patrick Giles, Adam Samuelsson, Jacob Tortora, and Jacques Bouquot. 1 of 6 still here.

2019 at this point in time was only Patrick Moynihan, he never materialized at the Heights. And 2020 was Knight, he accelerated.

Pretty nuts to see how much the 2016 class stuck together and the next three classes contributed 4 players to the current roster out of 14 on the list at one point in time. I'd say things worked out well but crazy to see how the early commits fared.

All great points . Jesus , SMH

Re: Boston College Eagles 2019-20 - No Chit!

Hey, don't push Hutsko out the door just yet...only a junior. Or are you saying he was pushed back a year?

Re: Boston College Eagles 2019-20 - No Chit!

I know Spencer Knight is good, but he's not so good that Joe Woll didn't leave early.

Re: Boston College Eagles 2019-20 - No Chit!

Huh

[BCeagle]

I know Spencer Knight is good, but he's not so good that Joe Woll didn't leave early.

There’s a reason why he was drafted high in the NHL

No offense to Woll but he was not drafted as high and as part of the freshman class he is one reason for the turnaround season for BC 🦅

I am wondering if BC is considering just playing the game without fans like Harvard

Interesting I missed that yesterday. I assume the sheet was accurate at one time and he was pushed back perhaps due to his injury? We had some fortune by getting him rather than him attending Pedd State.

Re: Boston College Eagles 2019-20 - No Chit!

Was thinking about league awards...

COTY: Coin flip between Gendron and Cav, I actually think Cav is more deserving but Gendron will win because Maine finished one point ahead. Give it to whoever wins this weekend.
POTY: Dugan only two more points than Newhook in league play. Does that open the door for Swayman to win this thing?
ROTY: Newhook. Should be a unanimous slam dunk decision but probably won't be.

Knight should be on all rookie team and 2nd team league all star

Pretty crazy to see what has happened with Tortora. Was a great player in midgets, played really well at the NTDP. Comes to BC, experiences some difficulties, leaves after a year, goes to the OHL and gets released a year there and is out of hockey right now
