Ha!

I tried to find the away game ticket order form on Account Manager but couldn't. Has anyone found it and downloaded it?

It's not in account manager, it's on a Season Ticket Holder Resources page (the link is below the Account manager logon). Be sure to also fill out and submit the seperate Beanpot ticket request form by 31 October as well.

So we're now numero 2 in both poles... seems that all that happened in the USCHO poll is everybody who was split on first place votes between Mich, ND, Miami, and Denver all flocked to Miami after they went 2-0 on the weekend and the others went 1-1, our 17 first place votes remained intact.

I, for one, am glad we didn't step up to top dog, the last thing we need is a team that thinks it's number 1 and yet another target on our backs!

Also: Why does the old thread keep popping up?

Totally agree. Let's earn the top spot. If last year's team sometimes had a problem of getting up for games and playing a full 60 minutes, I don't think this team can afford letting up for a single period.

I could stand to see us a bit lower, but I have to confess I don't know much about the other teams on the polls so far. If the writers/coaches really think we deserve the 2nd spot solely based on our (majorly) untested lineup, then what does that say about the rest of the country?

Some people won't listen to Jack Parker and let last season go.

It says that most of these people who vote probably know as much about teams outside their region as you do. Many coaches don't even make their own picks. Many writers who have votes have other jobs outside of covering college hockey. Let me reiterate this message board's mantra:

THE POLES DON'T MATTER

Agreed. Amazed BU is ranked so high considering all the questions on offense.

Re: Boston University 2009-2010 Season Thread Part the One

BU is #2 because of last year. They'll be at the bottom of the top 10 by November. My wife is half "Pole." She matters. Polls on the other hand are just fodder for chat.

Steve Spurrier is shocked by these unsubstantiated accusations.

I had the pleasure of seeing Matt Gilroy live at last night's Rangers game. I have to say, it was a thrill to hear #97 introduced in the starting lineup and have 18,000 people cheer his name. The Rangers are off to a 5-1 start and the fans and media are giving him some of the credit [Larry Brooks wrote in a column about the Olympic roster in the NY Post a few days ago: "These Olympics and the Team USA roster should prove a welcome target for Scott Gomez and Brian Gionta in Montreal and, oh by the way, what if Long Island's Matt Gilroy improves incrementally and is thus every bit as impressive in December and January as he has been thus far?" ].

As for the game, Gilroy got very little PP time but was on the ice for two even strength goals with a third being waived off. He did not get any PK time at all. Although I had seen him repeatedly venture deep into the offensive zone in at least one other game, he played very conservatively last night with no big risks and no glaring mistakes.

Also, I realize that I am way behind in saying this, but in case anyone here has not ordered it already, CandyCanes99's season highlights video is outstanding. 10 or 20 years down the road, you may be able to get your hands on a championship DVD but may not be so lucky with this. So it is definitely a must-buy. Now.

Thanks for the Gilroy update srsterrier.

From Rogie's blog: (About former Terriers in attendance Saturday night) "One other Terrier spotted shall remain nameless for security reasons." I know I'm intrigued. (or am I missing a joke?) Anyone wanna play?

It's a mystery to me, too, Bomber. CDRAL put up the game report b/c I had no computer access until late on Sunday.
