BU: Offseason '22: Build The Boats

[Terrier86]

Yes Cullen actually did it by scoring 94 points with Pittsburgh and 16 with Hartford in the same season if you look up his Hockey DB profile. Tkachuk got 98 one year in the regular season. 3 more in the playoffs but that is not included in this question.

Who were the 5 BC alumns? I am thinking Janney, Leetch, Gaudreau, and Mullen but blanking on the fifth.

Stevens?

[Terrier86]

Stevens?

Yup.

[BC/HE]

You BU fans know your opponents well. Stevens actually did it 2 years in a row. Gaudreau didn't reach it until this season although he hit 99 one time before.

Recruit Charles Alexis Legault has committed to Quinnipiac for next season. Right handed defenseman Lachlan Getz committed to BU yesterday. Getz is a former Union commit. It is unknown if Getz (2002 BY) is coming this upcoming season. Leagult could've went to QU for scholarship purposes, or was asked to do another year of juniors. His father, Alexandre Legault, played for BU from 89-91. Not a major recruiting loss. From what I've seen Legault had unbelievable tools but not a great hockey brain.

Getz, a 6'3" right shot who turned 20 earlier this year, is listed as a 2022 recruit by Heisenberg. Missed virtually all of his first BCHL season due to a broken foot, but was co-winner of Chilliwack's top D of the season award this year. According to a Chiefs coach, he's ""an elite puck mover, with a high offensive ceiling and the ability to play against the opposition's top players."

With Getz and Lane Hutson from the NTDP U18s, BU will have 10 Ds next season ( Fensore, McCarthy, Gallagher, Jarman, Webber, Copeland, Driscoll, Page)

Mark Divver tweeted:

New @TerrierHockey head coach Jay Pandolfo hits the ground running with hire of Joe Pereira from UConn last week & expected addition of Kim Brandvold, Boston Bruins skating & skills guru, as assistant coach.

In addition to his work with the NHL club, Brandvold has played a pivotal role in Providence, running skills practices once a week all season. He's an independent thinker and all-around good guy.

Playing on a line with that Lemieux guy helped. He was pretty good...

I'd say this is a slam dunk. Glad Jay noticed development has been a major issues in recent years ad is taking a different approach to running the team so far.

Mario turned Wendell Young into a highly sought after free agent :=)

Slam dunk seems strong in that this would be unorthodox. It could end up being a great hire though. It's definitely an interesting case study. First Norwegian born associated with BU hockey?

Why unorthodox? He is much more than just a "skills" coach.... Not that it wouldn't be enough. It is a brilliant move and an unbelievable get and some great out of the box thinking by Pandolfo.

Unorthodox in how assistants are generally chosen. That doesn't make it wrong or a bad hire. I just think calling it a slam dunk is premature. Hiring Pereira away from UConn was more of a slam dunk.

It appears that Albie will land on his feet with a scouting role with the Montreal Canadiens.
Montreal president and director of hockey Jeff Gorton's son, Jack, will be a freshman at BU in the fall.

Albie reportedly turned down a chance to be associate head coach at Michigan State. First with Danton Cole, and then again with Adam Nightingale after Cole was fired.

While many of us felt that Albie was not cut out to be the HEAD coach at a major college program, he is a good guy, a good hockey man and still has a lot to offer the sport in other areas.
Wishing him the best as his hockey journey goes down a different road.

So the MTL President's kid will be on lower Comm Ave. while the GM's and Head Coach's kids play for Northeastern. Wonder if MTL will tweak the schedule to avoid games on NU-BU game days/nights.

Glad to hear it and agree 100% that he is a valuable addition to most programs, just not as a Head Coach.
