..... This series could go many different ways, I could see a BU sweep, a ME sweep, or a split.

well, honestly, it can go one of five ways - and you've listed three of them right here

(the team, not the fans, you guys are the most hospitable fans I've encountered anywhere except maybe this year's Super Bowl losers)

...Thanks?

Re: Maine at Boston University 2/12 and 13

I feel exactly the same way. I know there is carryover from the Walsh/Parker fued days for some people, but I just think Jack is a riot.

I hated Jack (for good reason), but after what he did for Travis and his family after the accident, it's hard to keep hating him. Then there's what happened on 9/11. Add to that that BU has some pretty cool fans and it's difficult to bring back the animosity of the past.

This weekend will be a split and we'll see you at the Garden.

Yeah, I see Jackie more as a clown than an adversary these days. Somehow his on bench tirades nowadays dont seem to have the whole hearted effort he used to put into them....maybe its because an old geezer like him looks like he ought to be sitting in a wheelchair rather than trying to lean on a dasher....

Agree that BU will end up at the Garden, home ice or no home ice....too many good players on that team not to.

Let's just hope he gets back from bingo on Friday and the church supper on Saturday to fill his water bottles before the start of the games. Also it's good to see he's ditched the sports jacket that was made from the material on the back of his Aunt Thelma's couch.

I respectfully disagree on the jackets. I loved those.

Someone needs to find the video of Jack throwing everything that wasn't nailed down on the visitors bench (including the benches) onto the ice at Alfond back in the late 80's/early 90's. That was the coolest thing I ever saw.

If a video exists, I haven't seen it (I've heard about it, obviously), and I'd love to. That sounds amazing.

That's thinking a bit too far ahead for us right now. We're fighting for home ice, so the Garden can't be a consideration yet. Though a Big 4 reunion at the Garden would be very, very fun. (hopefully.)

BC guido.

No, but I remember in '92 the student network showed Hook the week before the BU game, and all the students started shouting, "Run home, Jack" after we went up 4-0.
