How bad was that hit by Harry Z? Was there something that happened before the hit? I have seen him play now for 4 years, and while he plays hard, I have never considered him to be a goon. You BU posters know your stuff and I'd like to hear your comments.

It was pretty vicious. Clendening tried juking around him at a pretty high speed and he clearly extended his leg out to hit him. Here's Coach Whittet's take on the matter:

"He definitely plays with an edge, and that's when he's most effective. I didn't think that was a very intelligent penalty that he took there in the third. It's one of those things we're going to have to talk to Harry about. He's obviously punished for it. I believe he's out for the next game, which is unfortunate, but again, it's self-imposed. That was not a good penalty. He does play with a chip. He's just got to know how to rein it in. When you cross over sometimes, that's when he's not helping us."

in the 2nd he went off for a slash that looked a bit more nasty than the result (didn't appear that he made contact on either, first on the stick, 2nd on the legs). this was during a 5x3 which prolonged it (and resulted in *finally* a bu ppg). as he was going off he yapped and got an extra 10 added on to sit and steam (which he seems to have done).

and oh... 3 seconds before he took out clendening, clendinging shook loose another brown forward on the forecheck and spun him and left him laying on the ice. i imagine harry was saying that it wasn't going to happen again when adam came up ice toward him.

But how about when Pereira shoves Clemente into his own goal? How was that legal?

I am far from a BU homer ... but I've seen that video 3 times and still don't see a penalty. Puck is in the crease, the goalie doesn't tie it up... so get the phk out of the way and let me slam it home. That's hockey.

The BU stream was following the puck and only caught it in the corner of the screen, but it drew my attention instantly. It was pretty nasty. I've never seen him do anything as vicious as that, though he has had some temper-driven, retaliatory moments in the past.

Hey, I'm far from a Brown homer, but that's still a penalty in my book.

But I suppose it's useless to debate this posthumously; the game is over, and I'd say the end result was pretty fair given the hard-fought nature of the game.

Hey, I'm a BC fan and I hate those frickin' Terriers... and Jack Maclellan and Dennis Robertson are on my fantasy hockey team... and I still think that's a good goal. How more impartial can ya get?

I looked @ the box score from the Brown-UNH game earlier in the week and Zolnierczyk got called for 2 10-minute misconducts in that game as well. 39 PIMs in 2 games (3 10-minute misconducts & a 5+game constituting most of that) and 60+ PIMs in only 8 games tells me Zolnierczyk plays a bit out of control and needs to be reined in. Not exactly the type of leadership I'd expect from the captain of any hockey team.
