Boston College 2011-2012 season outlook

Question for BC students....or any other BC fan that might know. I was on campus yesterday - my godson was accepted and flew up for Accepted Eagle Day - and I went to the bookstore in McElroy Commons as I wanted to get him a SuperFan tshirt (that I've instructed him never to wear in my presence ;) ) and the ones they've had there have the bookstore logo on the back. Do incoming students get one during orientation or something? I thought they said Ever to Excel on the back. I want to get him a real one and I wasn't sure if that actually was one. The color also seemed a bit off. Thoughts?

Hi scarlet!

Almost positive everyone gets one at orientation now. Every year they have some new (and typically insanely stupid) phrase on the back. And I agree the newer ones seem to be a little darker than the older superfan shirts. But if the bookstore is selling them they are "real" and aren't "fake"...

Yes, they do get them at orientation over the summer.

The color changed to a brighter yellow with the move to underarmor. Agreed Nick, the sayings have gotten worse & worse as the years go on.

From the awards dinner last night:

MVPs: Muse & Cam (2nd yr in a row)
Most Improved: Patch (interesting)
Best Typifies BC Hockey: Gibbons
Freshman: Arnold

It was well done, a little long but a nice send off for the most accomplished class in BC history.

well i will never be confused with a college hockey coach or talent scout but alber as most improved is pretty shocking.. not only did i think guys like wey, almeida, and mullane made bigger leaps this year, alber seemed to be one of the few guys who actually was worse this year than last.

Maybe we should ask hoky for his opinion ;)

Anyways agreed, but I had trouble thinking of who it could be. Maybe Jimmy but he really came on towards the end of last year and continued it instead of a year to year jump.

Any chance Cav takes the PC job?
 
Re: Boston College 2011-2012 season outlook

Yep, sounds like BC has their coaching staff in tact. Tough on Cav, but as a BC fan, glad to have him back.

yeah, for sure. it must be hard for him because i would think he has the "as soon as york leaves he's outta here" thing going on in the minds of what ever school interviews him. of course who knows but i suppose that's possible

Either that or he just doesn't interview well? Who knows. What I do know is that he is arguably the best recruiter in college hockey the last 15 years. He and Jerry broke down BC recruiting geographic barriers and have proven they can get top talent from all over North America. His loss is BC's gain for 2011-2012.

he deserves a shot and will get one. great 15 year run

in fairness recruiting at BC is like Cindy Crawford trying to get a ride home from a bar on a late friday night at 1 am in 1988...
 
Re: Boston College 2011-2012 season outlook

Right because when him & York got here BC was a powerhouse coming off back to back championships and unprecedented success...

Yes, they did show the highlight video, surprised it hasn't made it on to youtube yet.

So what you are saying... if BC had been in the Hockey East cellar over the last 15 years, all hockey players would still want to come here regardless?

Ahhh... so that explains why it was so easy for Jerry and Cavs to recruit good players back in 1996, '97 etc.

Can't imagine why BC even recruits. Think of the money they could save just putting all-stars on the ice without the recruiting expenses.

No kidding right? Who wanted to come to BC in 1994? I mean, they were giving out 25 scholarships and still stunk.

Jerry and Cav went far and wide to find players to build this program. Credit Jerry for having contacts from BGSU and Clarkson, and credit Cav for going out and selling an east coast reemerging program. How many good Canadian players did BC land prior to them coming on board? By breaking down, not only the outside of MA recruiting barrier but north of the border as well, Jerry and Cav brought BC it's first title since 1949. I mean think about it, Kolanos game winner and Kobasew the MVP of the tourney. It's great having local kids excel at BC, but they expanded their search, found the best players, and most importantly, won the recruiting battles.

Looks like PC went with Leaman.

Just because Cav is the head assistant during this great BC run, doesn't mean that the great run will continue if he were to follow York as the Head Coach. Remember when Cedorchuk took over from Ceglarski? Cavanagh may recruit the players, but York closes the deals. This is not a knock on Cavanagh. He is immensely important to the BC program. After seeing situations with other guys (Cedorchuk, Paluch, Pooley), I believe that being a great Assistant doesn't necessarily mean that you will be a great Head Coach. The two guys Providence seemed to whittle their decision to both had experience as Head Coaches.

i think that's true.......... of course there are no guarantees but i gotta trust that Jerry will know who is best suited to take over when that sad day finally arrives and he calls it quits

edit: this assuming GDF has any sense at all and let's Jerry decide
