Originally posted by J.D. View PostJim Connelly explained that the Ambrosio goal was the kind of "skill" goal they want to reward as long as there's not that distinct kicking motion towards the goal. In fact it looked like Ambrosio actually pulled his skate back a bit in touching the puck.
I must have missed the part where Connelly (didn't) make a point of the fact that NU was missing 3 of their regular 6 Defensemen and played the game with just 5. BC made a trade worthy of the Red Sox when they swapped a 4th line LW for NU's Captain Jordan Harris. Slew footing is considered to be one of the more heinous and usually deliberate hockey crimes, along with spearing. Both are likely to result in a serious injury to the recipient. The BC player got off easy with a 2 game suspension. Perhaps if players who, upon review, appear to have deliberately injured another were suspended for as long as their victims were sidelined, "sportmanship" might reappear in the lineup in their place. That will happen when pigs fly! Maybe.Last edited by Ryecheers; 10-18-2021, 03:39 PM.

What a homer you are, Mr. Connelly! If Ambrosio wanted to show his skill (and he has plenty) he would have found a way to get his stick on the puck instead of "skillfully" making an effort to direct (not kicking) the puck into the net.

And spearing almost never results in serious injury. Has Hockey East ever even suspended someone for 3 games? Calm down.

If they lose to them it's, "Bwah-ha-ha you lost to Bentley". I took the grandkids in 2018 to that game at Conte where they we're humiliated by them so I'm guessing it was some sort of home and home deal with them.

Crosby probably wouldn't even be on BC's top two lines next year

While NU was able shut out Bentley 4-0, it wasn't easy. Our D was only missing one player and our goalie was super-psyched after missing last season with cracked ribs he got in the World Junior tournament. Bentley plays crunchingly hard, has some skilled players and a very capable goalie. Additionally the team was rested and BC had to chase NU around untill they cracked it open in the third period. They are no one's patsies, but you would no doubt destroy them if you played after New Year's .
IIRC we lost two games to them in 2015-16, but recovered in time to do well in the HEA finals.
