BU Hockey '24-'25: Reloaded for another Frozen Four run

[Bomber]

I wasn’t able to be there or watch but just checked the box score. What happened in the 3rd?

Two bad power plays in a row and then they decided to give out odd man rushes like they were handing out Halloween candy. Then they decided to start taking dumb penalties. Lots of trick. Not much treat. As embarrassing a third I’ve seen in quite some time.

Is Svoboda injured- He was not in lineup friday and fourth line pretty invisible without him

[defkit]

- On the telecast, Bernie said Svoboda has an upper body injury.
- Kaplan was a hero a week ago, but he has to find a way to stay out of the box or he is going to cost this team.
- Really dumb penalty by Q. Hutson. I would really consider sitting him for tonight. He knows better. I didn't see the Eiserman penalty that started it all, but a slashing call behind the play is not smart. The kid is a sniper but he is not a puck possession guy like Macklin, so he needs to be sure he isn't doing anything that hurts the team and offsets his goals (kind of like last night).
- I feel bad for Caron. He played a great game and then the team in front of him just lost their focus and he ended up with 4 GAs.
- If we don't get a split tonight, this team will likely fall to the 10-15 range, which could be where they belong. North Dakota got spanked by Cornell last night.

Eiserman got dumped at the tip of the M crease. Could have been an interference call. Looked to the closest ref for a call and got no response. Got to his feet and stalked the Michigan player to center ice, where he slashed him in the back of the knee. The other ref caught this and made the call.

I wish they would make an underachiever line of Copponi/Hughes/Kaplan so that I could focus my frustrations.

they were throwing the no look backwards passes around like they were kit kats and snickers bar.

and overall selfish play. Kids not bothering to get back in the play. Kaplan’s was horrible. as was harvey’s.

where was the Nashville chicken? mookie got their early’ish and grabbed he buffalo chicken….guessing it was left over from the girls game. Icy cold. Shoulda known then it was not going to be a pleasant night

Nashville chicken is a topping option for the Mac and cheese. Pretty tasty in the world of arena food. Good addition!

Lines put in a blender for tonight. Quinn and Shane dropped to the fourth line.

BU is last in the nation in penalty minutes per game. Echoing other posts: probably a good idea to work on that.

[BUPhD]

it's quite the back and forth tonight.

[Scarlet]

This team can be so disappointing. They do not appear to have any killer instinct. I’m not holding out any hope they pull a win out of this mess.

[BUPhD]

Yeah. They were made to pay for not locking that one down. Time to point that out to them...even more harshly.

This team is nowhere near a Top 10 team at this point plus losing 3/4 to non league powers puts them in a PWR disadvantage that will be hard to overcome. You can’t let a Michigan who comes to town every 10 yrs or so sweep you in your own rink. Besides being exceptionally dumb there is lack of focus evident. BC is already miles ahead of them imo and they were faced with similar losses from LY. Albeit their goalie is a difference maker and not really here .

Agree, tonight I grabbed some Thai food at Brown Sugar and wound up getting a seat and I really think that while BU is at the top of HE with BC, Maine and PC, they aren't a top 10 team. This year the good news is that they should plow thru some very average HE teams this year including my Huskies. However, after seeing both Denver and BC play I really think they are in their own class this season. We must all remember that anything is possible. Clearly they are still in the top 15. Tonight it was hard fought loss against a good Michigan team and Friday frustration over 2 or 3 minutes of bad hockey with poor hockey IQ displayed on the ice. They will bounce back.

The italian sausage with peppers and onion was actually quite tasty… a big step up from the bratwurst from last year.

Has anyone tried the taco / nacho bag stand?
