  • Re: Boston University 2019-2020

    Bought my ticket for Friday at Merrimack. Closest rink to home, have to take advantage of it.

    Go BU!

      I heard a rumor that they're playing BC on Saturday. Please confirm. #ThisUsedToBeABigDeal

      On the one-and-dones: You can still win with them if you're building and creating a team first atmosphere and you surround them with character kids and 2 and 3 year player talent. I'm sick of this excuse.

        Let's not forget that two key upperclassmen on the current roster in Amonte and Cockerill have played a combined 3 games. Fortunately, it seems Logan will return relatively soon.

          If your best players are leaving after a year, every season becomes a bridge season until something finally clicks.
          Unfortunately I think our program has become the college hockey equivalent of Georgetown basketball and University of Miami football - once great programs that have become middle of the road. All capable of being championship pretenders every few years (meaning just below elite kind of like Oklahoma football this year vs LSU, Clemson, & OSU) while middling around 500 other years. Jack Eichel year an outlier.

            I can only imagine how cold it's going to be up at Merrimack tomorrow. Who remembers when they had the space heaters hanging from the ceiling?

              Yup.... and the players basically walking through the stands to get to the ice....

              Is there still the standing room area at ice level behind the net? That is one of the best places to watch from.

                And they were off first and third periods, as well as intermissions, and on for the entire second period.

                As I recall they walked from the side of the side of the visitor stands around the front a short way to the door on the side of the rink. They had to stop fans from walking when team entered or left the ice. It allowed a decent number of fans to high-five the players.

                What is now the near end has the student stands, so I don't think standing is allowed there. There is still space on what is now the far end of the rink for standing, but I haven't been to a men's game there for a long time and don't know if they still allow standing there.

                  I don't see why this is acceptable. If Albie can't make the program a perennial contender then he needs to be fired (eventually). When Parker was here you had to put up with bouts of sustained underachieving because he'd earned coach for life status until off ice incidents started snowballing. All present and future coaches have no such protection. Either produce or hit the road.

                    Cockerill returns to the BU line-up tonight, skating with Curry and Wise. Last played in game #3.

                      So far, an uninspiring effort against statistically the worst defensive team in the league. This is disgusting - no other way to put it.

                        Saved by some lightning in a bottle and a waived off tying goal (still don't know why). Anyway, it's a win, but not pretty. Hopefully a better effort tomorrow start to finish against a much better team than Merrimack. Congrats to Abel on his first colllegiate win!!

                          Only thing is maybe goaltender interference- bad call
                          Borek could not believe it
                          Good to see Wise score- has been good last two games
                          Abel looked good in net

                            On waived off goal- I thought I saw a replay with the Mack goalie still on the ice when they scored. Not anywhere near his bench. Mack already had six skaters in the o-zone.

                            Really great explanation from the referee there...

                              It was called no goal on the ice, not sure why the review took forever it was pretty obvious there were six skaters plus the goalie. What I want to know is why they weren’t called for too many men on the ice since that’s why it was a no goal.

                              Also, the PA at Lawler sounds like Charlie Brown’s teacher. Could not understand half of what he said.

                              Why was Harper’s goal called off? Did it not go in?

                                Never went in.
