i watched a bit of the UNH-Miami of Oxford game last night and one of the advertisements on the far left side boards was something that had in big letters "BC" on it. of course it caught my eye............turns out it was "cometotheBC.com" an ad for Butler County..................i thought those two letters would have been banned from their arena by now

I thought the same exact thing. I thought that some BC posters here took up a collection and bought advertising at Miami of Ohio's rink.

My thought was that at this point BC has legal ownership of at least 50% of Miami's campus and signage is required throughout.

I'm not going to say they are going to do it, but I think they could make a run at it. This is a team that put up some big numbers against some pretty good goalies last year (including the NCAAs). Who knows, it'll be fun to watch though.

14 quick ones against MC and they are right back on track

nahhh, just showing aface what a fool he sounds like saying BC is going to avg over 7.5 goals a game in Hockey East play. Will be a fluke if avg is over 4.

So... um... that hockey game was amazing. Shots 35-35. I can't remember the last time I watched a hockey game with that frantic of a pace.

Re: Boston College 2010-2011 In-Season Thread: Long Live The "Eagle" Empire!

Even with this kid from BU in the mix, I still think BC may end up being under manned next year. They have two kids coming in, neither of whom project to be immediate impact players and could end up losing their top 5 forwards. Seems like they need at least 2 more forwards for next year if they don't want to risk another debacle like the 2001/2002 season.

Hard to say if they'll be undermanned like 2001-2002. It's a difficult situation for a coach to be in, not knowing who/how many will leave early. It will certainly make for an interesting off-season.

nahhh, just showing aface what a fool he sounds like saying BC is going to avg over 7.5 goals a game in Hockey East play. Will be a fluke if avg is over 4.

So if BC averages 4 GPG with this roster, it's a fluke? LOL

Also, LOLed at Patch Alber being in the lineup over Isaac MacLeod. As many of us pointed out, MacLeod will have to earn his ice time.

Gotta say - I like Patches. He's making some plays out there.

Surprised to see Kreider playing with two Freshmen, one of whom is a recruited walk-on. I would have thought they'd keep Kreider and J Hayes together as they were two thirds of a great line last year and seemed to have good chemistry. Why not keep them together and use S Whitney, Mullane or K Hayes as the 3rd guy? Not so sure I like the Carey, Mullane, J Hayes line either. York obviously knows a lot more than me, but why not put your 6 best forwards on the top two lines, which would both be killer and then you could still assemble a pretty darn good 3rd line with the likes of Almeida/Arnold/Mullane/K Hayes, etc and a decent checking line for the 4th line as well?

agreed. that was fairly obvious. but that is the difference between people who follow the program and people who stalk the players

i wasnt crazy about the lines either. hopefully he is just looking for some chemistry. hopefully the lack of offensive spark last night guides him into some new combos for denver.

he obviously showed a lot of faith in arnold and brown skating them so much. so why not do kreider/arnold/ j hayes and then carey/mullane/whitney and almeida/k hayes/brown.

either way, some good players are going to be on the 'fourth' line.

Re: Boston College 2010-2011 In-Season Thread: Long Live The "Eagle" Empire!

I agree, other than Brown, at this point the other 11 forwards would probably be at least 2nd line guys on just about any other team in the league, except maybe Maine.

I remember BC tying NU 0-0 in the 2001 championship year. That was a hell of a game too. Always interesting when you go to Matthews.

Seem to remember Bobby Allen getting knocked out of that game with a concussion, but could be wrong...

Ya, my original line projections were:

J. Whitney-Gibbons-C. Atkinson
Kreider-Arnold-J. Hayes
Carey-Mullane-S. Whitney
Almeida-Brown-K. Hayes

Will be interesting to see if a shutdown line develops later in the season.

Forget which USCHO BC poster asked about USCHO becoming BUSCHO, but the current headline doesn't help...

"First one down for BU"

I know BU won the Ice Breaker. That's great and all, but a headline like that makes you think the King of the Fanboy Nation, Scott Weighart, wrote it. It really does read like a headline that should be on a BU blog.

It does seem USCHO is run by BU writers. I know the girl who wrote the story for the BC/NU gme is a BU grad as are many others. Any time a BU player burps, it's going to be the headline with a picture on BUSCHO now.

A Brown player could cure cancer in between periods of scoring a hat trick in the Frozen Four final and somehow Warsofsky's picture will appear the next day here. Pretty weak.
