Re: Boston University 2019-2020
Well Eichel 2.0 is a little strong. When he committed his claim to fame was winning the MVP of the Quebec PeeWee tourney. And while his commitment was three years before his draft year (or was it 4?), we was mentioned as a possible Top-5 pick. Then he didn't grow much. I think playing his sophomore year at Central Catholic versus moving to better competition stalled his development. Missing a lot of his U18 year due to injury also didn't help.
He is a solid player who could develop into a 20 goal scorer before he graduates. But he has certainly not lived up to expectations from 4 years ago, however fair or unfair that may be. He certainly isn't the first and won't be the last.BU Hockey: The trophy case is once again growing

Originally posted by J.D. View PostAccording to who? But if that is the case, he better hope Commesso wins him a lot of 2-1 games next year. The mass exodus of players Quinn recruited is not an easy hole to dig out of. BC learned that the last few years. So to me, Quinn shares blame. Not to mention there have been recruiting misses with Wise, Weiss, DeBoer, Crone, Cockerill. Not all Albie's fault.
Weiss - couldn't get into BU, as far as I know. Maybe I'm wrong.
DeBoer - not sure he was regarded as a big get. Does anyone else know?
Crone - Never understood why he was banished back to USHL. Last I looked he was doing fairly well at Denver.
Cockerill - Would be acceptable as a 3rd liner on a better team, PKer. Definitely not a 1st, 2nd line guy.
The failures with Wise and Cockerill are major problems. From his first game at BU, Wise has never looked like a front line D1 player.
The Ashton Abel situation is crazy. I can't recall seeing a guy fall so far, so quickly.Last edited by buoldtimer; 02-22-2020, 11:00 PM.if you walk with Jesus, he's gonna save your soul, you gotta keep the devil way down in the hole

Re: Boston University 2019-2020
After losing the night before surrendering the tying goal in the last minute and losing a few seconds into overtime, that is the performance ... at home, no less?
Once again, they were badly outplayed in the first period. How could they not be ready to play after the previous night?
They should have been breathing fire, not spitting the bit.
No excuses.
This performance was unacceptable. UNACCEPTABLE!
Is anyone in the athletic department hierarchy watching? Are they are okay watching the school's signature sport slip into mediocrity? And worse, irrelevance?
There were plenty of TV timeouts. But no coaching going on during them. And we have been so slow to making adjustments.
The way things are heading, the men can play at Walter Brown (and not fill it) and Agganis can be used for pro wrestling and concerts with bands no one over 30 has ever heard of.

The answer with Abel is simple. He is a skinny goalie who can be beaten over either shoulder at any time. Just shoot high. The scouting report on him is so bloody obvious.
