Providence hasn't been good lately but still impressive sweep by Merrimack. BC better be ready to go Thursday, this will be Merrimack's last game of the season. No playoffs for them so nothing to lose. I am sure their seniors will be hyped.

Doesn't matter who they play in the first round, it will mean taking their sticks away. Always a battle. NU has to rally after this week end. BU looks to be in a serious funk but whenever they see a BC jersey they get good quickly. Right now I prefer Providence but they are a heavy team that can grind you. Not sure why they have had such a disappointing season. UNH could slip in their but they have to play BC at the end so it will be a heavy lift for them.

My bad.
I think style of a certain team is one thing I like to avoid but this time of the year coaching is a huge difference maker. So I prefer to avoid certain coaches. Lehman and Bazin (and Carvel granted we won’t draw them in Rd1) no thanks I’ll pass. Albie, Madigan, Gendron, Souza, and Cavanaugh... I’ll take my chances against those guys.
Re: Boston College Eagles 2019-20 - No Chit!
So weird that Merrimack has one game left and other teams have 4. While 5 points wins the title outright, 4 guarantees a share with UMass but BC has the tiebreaker there.
More importantly, they hold the edge on UMD and Denver in RPI. One thing I find interesting is if BC finishes as #4 and Denver #5 normally you would think BC stays east as a #1 seed. Cornell to Albany and BC to Worcester. Along with UND to Loveland. But would the committee put #1 overall with the top rated #2 especially when Denver is hosting? I doubt that.

Re: Boston College Eagles 2019-20 - No Chit!
My preferred playoff opponent would absolutely be UNH. After that, despite the hot streak, UConn. And believe it or not I would still rather see Maine over NU and PC. But that doesn't seem likely. Don't think I would mind Lowell either. They really aren't that good.

Re: Boston College Eagles 2019-20 - No Chit!
You never know with the committee. I just hope BC isn't linked with Denver in 4-5 or even 3-6 in the PWR. To that extent, Duluth could be a convenient buffer.

I live in NYC so anything other than Loveland is a reasonable drive.

Really Maine ??? They have a streak of 5 straight vs BC since last year
UML is always tough
PC or NU is preferable or UNH.

Maine is playing well right now and tough while PC and NU are not deep right now. PC is struggling while you just saw how BC overmatched NU with speed.
If you want Maine play them in the final or semi finals

Someone refresh my memory, what were the circumstances of BC getting screwed in 2011 and sent to St. Louis? I know it had something to do with host institution (Yale?).

Re: Boston College Eagles 2019-20 - No Chit!
UNH as host institution had to play in Manchester and was the No. 4 seed. They moved BC, a top seed out west to avoid a same-conference first round matchup. Yale got Bridgeport that year as host institution.

This. He leads the country in goals, and a LOT of them are highlight reel worthy. Hometown boy for UMass.

Agree and we got the jump on them with a goal in the first minute and it fell apart quickly after that .

Kreider-Mullane-J. Hayes
J. Whitney-Gibbons-Atkinson
Almeida-Arnold-S. Whitney
Carey-Brown-K. Hayes
9 of 12 played at least a game in the NHL. Just an absurd lineup for a college team to assemble.
I haven't kept up with this stuff but no stats for Jimmy Hayes this year after playing in the AHL last year. Perhaps he retired. Put up decent numbers last year. Bill Arnold retired in 2016 but was a full time AHL player at that point. Not sure if that was injury related.
Joe Whitney still playing in Sweden. Steven Whitney was still in AHL this year but currently on ECHL team. It looks like Barry Almeida has been a full time ECHL guy for the last three years. How much do those guys make?
Kreider, Atkinson, K. Hayes still doing well in the NHL. And who would have thought at that point that Patrick Brown would make it to the NHL and hang around this long. Scored for Vegas the other night.
John Muse played one game in the KHL this year but that's it. Maybe he's finally done playing. Milner is still kicking around. Good numbers in the ECHL. Tommy Cross has been a pretty **** good player in the AHL but never broke through at the NHL level.
Finally, Gerbe still making an impact in the NHL for Columbus. He went to Switzerland for a couple years and then worked his way back to the NHL.
Thus concludes your alumni update.
