BC Eagles 2020-21 - in memory of Steve Gerrish

Bad first period. Great second period. Pretty good third period.

Something needs to done about the ghastly penalty they called on Kuntar. Vomacka literally went out of his way to trip him, flopped and it almost cost us a game again. I'd hope the league takes some action on the officials for calling that. Absolutely unreal an official could fall for something like that.

We need a goon to handle dopes like Karashik (dirty both nights) and Capone (might be the most overhyped worthless player since John Sabo).

A few posts + the Weight bid into Vomacka's glove prevented this from being a much different game.

They stopped taking penalties which made life easier. Passing is still sloppy generally. Decisions under pressure not great and Yukon forced the issue all weekend.

St. Ivany is our best player on the ice lately aside from Knight. He is way better than advertised even disregarding his big ENG today.

3.5 wins in 4 games the past two weeks. None were easy, they are sloppy and have plenty to work on. The PP is still terrible. Everything is there to go all the way, just have to hope they get back to early season form and get Newhook back.
 
They keep saying Newhook is close. I have to believe next weekend is a go.

Big props to 4th line, all those guys have chipped in offense lately. Carreau is a pretty cool story. When he left BC and went to USHL I never thought he'd be back at BC.
 
At 9-2-1 officially, that's a solid .792 win percentage. We saw what they were capable of early in the season so I think that's why there's some frustration plus last night's 3rd period mess. Hopefully they are learning lessons along the way with the tough battles the past two weeks (and before with 4 of our 5 best players out at WJC), playing with a less-than-100% lineup and the penalty situation.
 
St. Ivany is getting better every game. Remember, he had not played a game in about 9-10 months. You can see him getting more comfortable and stronger every game. I would like to see Andres get more playing time. We still get caught running around our defensive zone too much. Kuntar has been a great addition as well.

Newhook should be back this weekend. He should help the power play. They moved Boldy from the front of the net since his return. I expect eventually he will be back in front of the net like he was at the WJC.

Go Eagles!

Just did the math. After today's game BC is 4/46 on PP...8.7%

They have been shorthanded 53 times and have 6 SHG...scoring 11.3% of time

Was just gonna post about 6 SOG’s and 4 PP’s after 12 games, it’s mind blowing . Jerry will fix it.........Both men’s and women’s hockey, even when both were killin it, have struggled with Yukon since they’ve been in HE .
 
Love the 4th line story, particularly Casey Carreau. It sounded like Weight and Roy just missed or were stoned in right front of the net. Seems like we should decline penalties and give them to the other guys and say nah we'll go shorthanded.
 
Battle of Com Ave. this season is probably most exciting one in years. Two good teams with great young goaltenders. Best in their respected age groups. Have to wonder if Newhook returns this weekend. I know York said they're waiting till he is 100%, but I can't see Newhook missing this series.
 
Is it just me or the web site not working too well ? I can't use the filter anymore and takes forever to get to the most recent post page. Really disappointed no games between BC and our rivals on Comm Ave this weekend How long is BU sitting out again ? Another week ? or two ?
 
I heard just one week for BU. I think we might play them next weekend. With two against NU and if we play 2 against BU next weekend, we have Beanpot week!

Go Eagles!
 
It's just the one NU game on the books for Tuesday. Honestly, might as well play NU again next weekend. Played UConn 4 times so not a big deal.
 
Not sure why the PP is not improving. Is Buckley or Ayres the PP coach ? There doesn't seem to be any adjustments on the passing decisions and decisions with the puck. They're passing but not attacking the weak points of the opposing team. They look too methodic and predictable out there. Sometimes too much passing when a player has the best shooting opportunity.
 
The points need to adjust their angle and wait for the defense to commit, got to get more pucks to the net. Too much talent not to do better. They may gave more shorthanded goals than PP goals. Weird.

The Spencer Knight/Devon Levi rematch is going to have to wait. Levi and Dman Jeremie Bucheler both out for Tues. Levi still reported as several weeks away so must have been banged up at the WJC worse than anyone knew.
