    I’d rather be in the first 5 rows of the balcony than most of the seats in the lower bowl. I hope I’m wrong and it’s packed, we’ll see 🥅🏒

        Disappointing is an understatement. Honestly getting to the Garden is a pleasant surprise after what transpired from October to March but nothing short of winning two games this weekend could lessen the disaster of a season it has been. This is BC. We shouldn't play spoiler or be happy with a participation ribbon.

        Yes these guys could erase a terrible season with two wins - build some momentum for next year and get back to that winning culture and "trophy season" nonsense - but not one.

          Hockey East is investigating incident in Friday's Providence College-Boston College game in which a BC player allegedly directed a racial comment at PC's Vimal Sukumaran.
          Hockey East Associate Commissioner Brian Smith: ‘The league is aware and we’re looking into it. I can’t get any more specific than that because it’s something we’re currently trying to figure out the facts of and get as much information as we can about’

            Team finally does something good and in the process a kid allegedly does that? Certainly hope it isn't true but if it is that adds to the disappointment of this season in an entirely different context.

              according to the story the ref heard it. No misconduct penalty though? If the ref heard it and did nothing shame on the ref.
              Today we skate with 'em.

                Yeah, but in all fairness, that's a slippery slope, isn't it? It's bad enough society polices every word we say...now we're going to start calling penalties in a hockey game? Where does it end? If you call someone a "WOP," is that OK because he's not non-White? (and spare me the lectures about being PC - and I don't mean Providence College) I doubt it. We've all been called plenty of things. It's part of the tribal nature of the human species. It starts to get pretty subjective when you are going to call penalties because of what someone said (especially if "only" the ref heard it).

                  Someone else mentioned this to me but what does "game officials" mean? Does that automatically mean on ice ref?

                    If this did happen, I suppose something like that could have been uttered from the bench so the only defense of an on ice ref there is if he heard something but didn't know who specifically said it.

                      This is totally ridiculous on several levels. I saw this kid playing earlier this season and thought it was pretty cool to see this kid playing at this level. If you're using a slur you're just a terrible chit-talker.

                      Even after a nice series win where we finally try to feel good about them, they still simply can't let us do that.

                        Things have come a long way from when I was "growing up" in terms of commonly used words that are no longer acceptable. It wouldn't even cross my mind to call someone a racial slur so in that respect it's surprising to me that a college kid would allegedly get caught up in this. But I know that no matter the age this stuff does still happen.

                        • If there’s a lack of evidence they need to go to the suspected kid and ask him to be honest, let him know he can take this as a learning experience, the team is his family and will support him through it, etc. Once he admits it, kick him off the team and out of school, burn his parents’ house down and salt the earth where it stood. Sorry, but this being zero tolerance is the easiest decision in the world. No room for this in hockey, this isn’t congress.

                            The official (and I assumed on ice) felt it was bad enough to file a report with the league because that has been reported. But if he did hear it during game play I would think it's grounds for a misconduct penalty that's all.
                            Today we skate with 'em.

                              Unless that official knows who said it or that player comes forward after being confronted by BC, I am not sure where this goes. As of right now it doesn't appear a player has been mentioned. Although maybe that player has been discovered internally and they are protecting identity until they gather all the info they can.

                                Yeah I could be more colorful but I won’t go there

                                Obviously 2 more wins is great after missing the NCAAs for a few seasons
                                If they don’t win 2 more games

                                In the heat of the moment I can see it happening a slur slips out

                                It’s not acceptable if true but let’s wait and see after the investigation of this incident

                                It’s disappointing after something positive last weekend
