BU 2021-22: Albie's Great Adventure

[mookie1995]

Mookie's take is that only times Bob Brown has somewhat cared about BU's signature athletic program are:

2009 National Championship
2015 Frozen Four.

so bobby b could skim tickets and bring high rollers.

I suppose there really hasn't been a need for the TLP program in recent years...

O'Brien returns to the line-up. Philips and Campolieto are out. Copeland skates with Fensore.

Pretty sure They still have it but the bean pot isn’t a tough ticket anymore.

So how exactly does that go down in the standings?

Improved effort tonight. UMass is strong - quick to the open picks, strong and tough to knock off the puck. They looked to me like the more talented team. Could have been 3-1 at the end of 1 were it not for Comesso’s big save at the end of the first. Great team but we went toe to toe with them.

The 3 on 3 is gimmicky but fun. Fensore was nifty and buzzing in OT.

Crowd was decent and atmosphere was fun. Estimate 40% UMass fans?

Gotta keep it up tomorrow night.

Very entertaining hockey game. It was good to see O’Brien out there. He was BU’s best player.

Boucher’s first penalty was dumb and cost them a goal. The turnover that led to UMass’ second goal is the poster child of what good teams would have fixed already.

Overall, they didn’t suck. And the OT and shoot-out was fun. Good atmosphere. I don’t have high hopes for tonight.

O'Brien and Tuch are both first line players, who have been greatly missed.

Boucher is an interesting case. He was drafted much higher than originally pegged because power forwards are a premium in the NHL. Those type of prospects often have a difficult transition to college hockey until they find their offense. He can break out, but he needs to play with a playmaker.

[Lemonade]

Progress! OBrien makes a huge difference. They really need tuch and brown back before we can really analyze how they will be. Tuch and Brown maybe the two best players on team. Boucher needs to be sat if he keeps taking dumb penalties. Enough already - you can’t give teams power plays at this level. Hopefully they play well tonight!

[Bomber]

It was great to see the candy canes back! #StreakBreaker

[brassbonanza]

Skoog has been a disaster in the faceoff circle.

[Lemonade]

Very solid weekend. Getting healthier!

[ericredaxe]

O’Brien is a difference maker for sure.

Perhaps the demise of coach has been overstated?

Hope they carry this energy into next weekend.

The team had a better weekend. The coach's shortcomings are not overstated.

[mookie1995]

Hope they carry this energy into next weekend.

they will need to buckle down.
it will be akin to the red headed step children's Super Bowl, as always
