BU: '22-'23 Season: Sail The Boats

[Tater]

It is a title game. You are going to give it all. Period. Who knows what happens next weekend.

[J.D.]

The players will obviously give it all they have, the question is how many minutes does the coach want to give Fensore if he's not 100% and then other dmen that apparently never play at all. That's all I am really curious about, how he juggles the minutes. If the coach is truly going all out in this one I would imagine he'll rotate 5 dmen and really rely on 4 as much as possible which is a significant workload for Fensore. So is he healthy or not?

[Tater]

Refs missing a major/game misconduct in real time and the league suspending a player for the following game happens all the time. It's been that way for years.

Sure, because they think the refs missed something. I’ve never heard anyone say X is getting suspended because they should have been given a major. It should not be relevant. Even if Skoog got a major last night, the league should give him a suspension *if* that level of punishment was justified.

Championship banners have meaning even the Beanpot and HE. Absolutely no one is thinking of “not going all out”. This is the kind of straw man argument that Felger and Mazz put out every afternoon.

[J.D.]

You're just playing a semantics game now. It's clear on replay that the refs did miss it. Had they issued 5 and a game right there on the spot I doubt he would be suspended tonight. You can say it should work differently than that but I don't think it does in most cases.

It wasn't really an argument. You guys are the ones saying Fensore isn't 100%. So if that doesn't matter I guess he'll be playing 30+ minutes tonight. I am just curious how he distributes minutes to him and the dmen who never play.

Glad to see Skoog got what he deserved, he is a cheap player. Love to see the Warriors win, some thing tells me this will be a 1 goal game and may involve OT

I’m sure this will be a game of “goalie” tonight. Whichever plays better will win. Borek said last night that they play both goalies in a strict rotation. That means Ollas will be in net. They are both good, but Borgiel was crazy good last night and was the big reason they won. Also in our series this year we scored 3 on Ollas in the home game. I think that’s good for us. We have the ad in skill and creativity, but it generally gets neutralized against this type of team. It should play a factor somewhere in the game however (see last night). I also like that they will have the attitude to “win it for Case”. Can’t wait for the game!

The ref didn't miss it. He was looking right at it!.....watch the various replay angles. Its another in a long line of "look the other way for the Comm Ave schools" and make everyone else adhere to the rules. As i've said before on multiple boards, whatever the "system" is for keeping consistency in the HE officiating...........ain't working. Skoog should have been gone, thus impacting the outcome of LAST NIGHT's game. JMHO

Excuse me…can you move a bit? My eyeballs rolled out my head after reading this and I need them to watch the game..

The number of clear penalties that were not called on Providence far outweighed any that were not called on BU. And I’m not saying Skoog shouldn’t have been called. It was a beyond stupid thing he did. I don’t think it warranted a suspension but that’s the card BU has been dealt. So be it. If his not playing tonight affects the outcome, that’s on him. But given I don’t think he won more than two face offs all night, who knows what that will mean for tonight.

[Scarlet]

Not a good start. But at least shots on goal are tied.

Why am I already getting this sick feeling that nothing is going to go in tonight? (and we're moving the puck as well as we have all year...which is what I had hoped for)

[chickod]

So much for the Hockey East refs "maintaining the establishment." What the hell was that if it wasn't a direct hit from behind into the boards?

It did look like he turned into that one at last second but I still thought it would be a minor. Not surprised Pandolfo didn't challenge for a major though. The officiating has been all over the map so far.

[BU93]

I think we look good. We’re going to score…eventually. Get a few here in the second.
