One of my favorite Eagles, never forget the 5 goals he scored in the first period against Maine. Doubt that anyone will see that again. Incredible achievement. Tremendous hockey player. Walsh was beyond fried. Parker said that he would have given two scholarship to get him to BU, Brian was an Eagle through and through.
Shawn Walsh had nothing but praise for Gionta. He raved about Gionta. That’s high praise from a great coach. 9 hat tricks in 4 years is something that will not be equaled let alone broken.
Brian played a little past the high scoring years of the early 90s, but I have to think that someone else has had that many. I think Jay Pandolfo had three if not 4 during his 38 goal senior year (one game all three were shorthanded!), but not enough during his other years. Someone out west might have - Bob Joyce? Cal Ingraham (Maine)?
First time looking at HE standings. BC has games in hand on every closest competitor yet still finishes semester with 4 non conference games. For PWR implications it's very important to beat Yale and come away with something in the difficult three game stretch after that.
Seeing UVM grab a point from BU and UConn grabbing 4 points the last two weekends against Lowell/PC...BC sweeping UVM and UConn could prove to be significant.
Not sure when a good time to look at PWR is but BC only HE team in the field at the moment.
Yale is struggling, 2-6 with a 6-1 loss to Harvard. Big week for the Eagles, need to focus on tonight and then digest the turkey, the most important game so far this year on Friday. Harvard is good and their record is solid.
Like BC losing to Bentley last year, been there. Hockey East in general is not in a great spot right now in the national picture.
