Boston College Eagles 2016-2017 Season Thread

Re: Boston College Eagles 2016-2017 Season Thread

Lost in my disappointment of their recent play, given that BU has not dominated the league like many expected and that the usual suspects are near the top of the league...York should absolutely win COTY this time around.

Agreed, but it'll be hard for him to win it off you guys can't even hold down an at large bid
 
Re: Boston College Eagles 2016-2017 Season Thread

Well I just meant for the league. Nationally you're right, prob someone else.
 
Re: Boston College Eagles 2016-2017 Season Thread

Locked up bye last night and now locked up a top 3 finish since BU and Notre Dame play each other. 1 point against lowell would clinch 2nd place, 2 points clinches a share of the title and 3 points would clinch it outright. But 3 points might not be necessary depending on how that BU-ND series goes.

Meanwhile, just keep tumbling down the PWR even while closing in on a potential HE title.

I don't know if it's just me imagining things, but can you remember the last time BC gave up goals almost immediately after scoring this often? Or taken this many too many men on the ice penalties?

Which is why I keep telling people, I do not care about the regular season title. Top 4 finish I care about. Title, no. If BC limps to the regular season title by say one point, gets knocked out in the HE quarterfinals and doesn't make the NCAAs, is anyone around here going to give a rat's behind that they won the regular season title? I surely won't.
 
Re: Boston College Eagles 2016-2017 Season Thread

I will care in the sense that it is still a great achievement given what they lost and the expectations. But as a fan, yes, hollow feeling if they win it but miss the NCAA tourney.

yeah on giving up goals after scoring, actually. A couple years ago or even last year we talked about it here or on EA but yes, happening again, one of the many ailments for this team to correct.
 
Re: Boston College Eagles 2016-2017 Season Thread

I feel like that's always been a lingering issue even in the better times. I can think of a handful of games, most notably that 7-6 win over Maine in HE title game.

Sat there in stunned silence watching that ending with me da over at their house. The thing that always knocked me sideways was Stabler's comment a few years later.

The Globe’s Will McDonough caught up with Stabler in 2002 and The Snake admitted the call was lousy.

"That should have never been a penalty," Stabler told McDonough. "I got hit a lot worse than that in my career and it was never called. Hamilton just went for the ball and landed on me. That's all that happened."
 
Re: Boston College Eagles 2016-2017 Season Thread

Just an advance heads-up for anyone heading to Tsongas Friday night. If you haven't gotten tickets yet, only single, scattered and isolated, seats are left in a handful of sections. They are already selling standing room only tickets online at this point.

It is also Lowell's Winterfest weekend so the main road leading to the Tsongas, Arcand Drive, will be closed and detours will be in effect. More information on the detours will be posted most likely later in the week but please allow extra time to get in. The ridiculous 8:30 start do to the dumb ASN tv deal should help though.

Note also that Beer Works, the closest watering hole to the Tsongas, will start to get busy at the normal 4:30-5:15 time even though the game doesn't start until 8:30. They do not take reservations for tables on game nights so plan accordingly.

yeah, i read that too but that's Snake for you. My favorite Raider of them all. I bet he and Will had had a few before he said that though so his memory may have been a bit clouded at the time;)
