Boston College hockey 2021-2022

JD seems like an intriguing dark horse. Cav is a logical short-lister. Greg Brown worries me because he was a small D-man who recruited like-minded sorts back in the day. The problem with succession is that we can't trust the administration/athletic dept not to screw it up.
 
OMG..you guys are looking for a coaching change and attribute your lack luster season to a downward trend in someway to coach York, arguably the greatest college hockey coach on the history of the NCAA. Funny they did the same thing on the BU thread about Albie the 1st three months of the season, now look. Would have loved to hip check you all back in the 80's..you are missing your 3 best players. It's one season get over it. Coach York is coaching till he's 80. Lol. Loss tonight was hard taught and they played pretty well.

jeez Rossi. Brady is the goat but who takes him next season over borrows or mahomies?

times they are a-changin’

…..you igles have a good class coming in next year? (Obviously not as good as the red headed step children, but 2nd place still earns a silver medal :/) )
 
Ah mookie considering the year Brady just had, not your best comparison!

Don't think next year's class will have anyone like Boldy/Newhook. What makes it worse is they are actually losing a good group of seniors and most likely Helleson.

McBain
McLaughlin
Giles
St. Ivany
Helleson

How the hell do you have that group of players and have the season BC is having seen? Maybe York gets a slight pass for them being in the mix went McBain went down injured and now the Olympics but that doesn't excuse the current slide they are on.

Brendan Buckley
Brooks Orpik
Mike Ayers

Team defense and goaltending has been abysmal. So if York wants to stay on and be a figurehead I am not sure he has the right supporting cast around him. How long has Mike Ayers been on staff? He should be leading the way and I just don't see it. It's not the right mix.
 
Last night was dreadful, odd man rush on a bad turn over 90 seconds in,then they completely lost their defensive structure through the first two periods. The last goal came on what was one of the worse turnovers I have ever seen. Kid had it on his stick, looked up and left the puck behind. He should have gotten an assist on the goal, it was a nice drop pass going the wrong way, only thing worse would have been to shoot it in the net himself. They played hard and tied it up twice but the combination of poor defensive structure and shaky goal tending was too much for a decent Uconn team. Very tough. Not advocating for a coach change but the time is certainly coming. Ayers would seem to be the heir apparent but there are a lot of guys, BC grads or not, who would love the job.

mookie is starting to think some uhn fans have hacked jd's account?!?! since when did 'beeing in the mix' call for a banner raising??? chris!!! is rolling over on the cape
 
If Mike Ayers gets the job something went seriously wrong with the search.

Mookie all I meant was things looked ok for a stretch run after they won the holiday tournament and had a decent record. Downhill from there.
 
I would hire Greg Carvel, easy choice. He plays the style as the glory years of BC hockey. I know JY likes Rand Pecknold, he would be another very good choice. I’m not a fan of Greg Brown, I think he really screwed up our defense by recruiting too many small defenseman, plus he has zero head coaching experience.

Go Eagles!
 
I could see Pecknold but Carvel won it all at UMass. I think he's pretty comfortable with that.

Brown is actually HC in the USHL. Maybe even someone like Casey Jones at Clarkson. Has done a very good job there.
 
I'm sorry to have to ask this, but why would Carvel or Pecknold leave their current positions to come to BC at this point? I don't think either of them would.
 
I don't think Carvel would either. Unless you blew him away with money. I could see guys like Pecknold and Bazin at least listening since they haven't been able to win the ultimate prize. But it's quite possible they are both content where they are.

Eric Lang? To me that guy should be at the front of the list for any ECAC/Hockey East team.
 
Mookie, chances are it will be a BC guy but it would be foolish to limit it to only BC guys. If someone like Mike Hastings is up for a new challenge it doesn't hurt to ask. Is Cav enough of a BC guy?
 
And the top of D1 would be actually winning the title but I certainly understand if he's content where he is
