Hey - is Hermoine going to be there??

we should have a moment of silence for Carolyn Bessette before the game.

:(

Good call. I remember attending games with her. She was very nice and a big fan of the Terriers.

My game preview is up. Of note for BU is that Escobedo will be benched and Megan will move to wing.

I like both these moves. The last game I saw (Maine), Escpbedo striggled, and Megan needs to find some sort of spark.

My gut tells me BU drops this one 4-2. Hopefully I am wrong...

Does BU provide a live video stream? I unfortunately will not be able to make the trip tonight, but I'd like to watch the game at least.

Yes, but you'll have to pay. I'm not sure exactly how much it is.

With the board being down all day I could not post my "I have a bad feeling about this game" comment so I blame board for this.

Warsofsky got the #1 star tonight?!?!

(guess Cornell needs BU. They got 5,413 in jersey tonight for their game with toothpaste. Bldg had to seem empty)

Props to B(oston)U for coming back twice in the game but they also blew two leads and had some pretty ugly and costly mistakes by their own net. Scary moment when Clendening went down but it was good to see him come back out.

A) They only blew one lead, the 3-2 lead.
B) I seriously thought Clendenning was done for. That hit was ugly and he could not put any pressure on it when they helped him off the ice. At the very least I thought he was done for the night.

This. My friend earlier in the game made a comment that #11 looked lost out there, as the trainers were heading onto the ice I mentioned to him that he would have plenty of time to find himself.

I was absolutely shocked when he hopped onto the ice to skate a couple strides after a stoppage or two, let alone return to play. But at the speed he was skating at he should have never returned, as him at 60% speed isn't top 4 on our roster, and he was risking more damage if he was just skating on adrenaline.

Given how and where he was hit, I feared it was a torn ACL and Clendening was done for the season. Very lucky he wasn't hurt more seriously w/ how vicious and dirty a hit Zolnierczyk put on him. The 5+game was absolutely the right call; in the pros, a multi-game suspension would've likely followed (plus some form of on-ice retribution) b/c of the deliberate intent to injure.

not sure what he was doing out there.... the falling down trainer, is that the back up fill in trainer?!? i wonder if that is how #4 slipped back on the ice. dude looked like he was shot when he laid there and took half the team to carry him off... then he comes back out?!?!!?:eek::eek:
if he was a foot and a half shorter i would be calling him gionta!!

First of all, no, it went off a BU stick if anything.

But how about when Pereira shoves Clemente into his own goal? How was that legal?
Hm, ok. I wasn't asking to incite anything, just curious.

And yes, his goal was very strange. I was certain the save was made and that was that.

Alright, fair enough. But that second BU goal puzzled me the first time I saw it, and it continues to puzzle me now. Having done the same thing many times through my not-so-illustrious high school career and getting penalized nearly every time, I was stunned that Pereira got away not only without a penalty, but with the (then) game-tying goal!
 
Re: #2 BU hosts #32 BU @ HAA_Sat after Tgiving! Silber says we're better!! :D

My thoughts on a few things being discussed:

Clendening- I also thought the worst (ACL or broken leg) initially. In his press conference, Parker said he was second-guessing the decision to let him come back because the swelling was pretty bad after the game. He said the trainers said it was the type of injury where he couldn't really do any more damage by going back out, but that now he's gonna have to have it further examined to see if he'll have to miss any time.

Pereira's goal- It was definitely good. I got a chance to see the overhead cam. The puck was clearly loose behind Clemente's pad and not trapped under it. When Pereira jammed away, Clemente kicked it in. Pereira didn't knock it loose or anything.

Should be interesting when these 2 teams meet again on Jan. 1. I wasn't in the room for the Warsofsky-Megan presser (I went down to the locker room), but from what I hear, Warsofsky said something along the lines of "We're gonna remember those cheap shots when we play them again."
