Boston College Eagles 2019-20 - No Chit!

UNH fans will be more than happy to take up a collection to make that happen this week, prior to our games. :D Oh, and he can take Boldy, Knight, Cotton with him for good company ;) (and BOTH Mattila bros for good measure...)

By the sounds of it, UNH should worry more about their proposed trailer park style arena renovations than anyone else. Sounds like the Islanders moving to Brooklyn. Not too often I think a school President sounds dumber than Leahy but UNH has us beat with their rink redesign.
 
Re: Boston College Eagles 2019-20 - No Chit!

Not ready to look too far ahead, there are still a lot to play for right here in Boston. Shout out to the Eagles last night, Knight was more than solid and Hutsko's move to create space for the pass on Cotton's goal was just incredible. He gave Cotton a gimme putt, as did Boldy and the BU defenseman who fell down on NEwhook's goal. Warren's move on pass to Moore was quick thinking and creative, he almost lost control of the puck and then he gets it across to Moore for the shot. That kid is going to be really good for BC, he already is but he is going to get better. BU is tough and I will be glad to see Curry and Harper gone, they are two very good hockey players, they deserved better, but.......they went to BU. Tucker played well, BC was just better in all three zones. Close out the RS with 25 wins, don't leave any question in anyone's mind.

Hey...it's a joke...my post...it's a joke. But, I do agree with your rink observations...this can't end well.

They need to replace the refrigeration system. Since you’re tearing things up anyway, it’s the right time to consider other changes. Apparently, the coaches would like to shrink the rink to 90 feet. So far so good.

If you pull the boards in five feet on each side you have to do something about the seating. You can drop the ice and fill the space with some additional seating or raise the entire bowl. The first option has problems with bedrock/blasting and perhaps groundwater levels (they haven’t exactly shared all the engineering studies they may or may not have done). The second option is estimated at four or five mil.

So ... they are apparently leaning towards doing neither and therefore rendering the first five or six rows worthless due to their setback. And, undoubtedly, inconsiderate “fans” will use the dead zone as an aisle, further impeding everyone’s view.

Trailer park may be a stretch, but it will be ugly.

In the comments after the Merrimack game York said Cotton was one of the best Captains in his 25 years at BC. That is pretty high praise.

I think BC will stay in Worcester as the 4th overall seed regardless of whether DU is 5th or not. They will just swap DU and UMD. I would not mind being 6th overall and going to Albany against Cornell. If all holds form that means Minnesota St in the semifinals instead of North Dakota.

Go Eagles!

Re: Boston College Eagles 2019-20 - No Chit!

It’s been such a good while since we had legit title hopes, I haven’t really given much thought or care about who stays or leaves after this season. You guys gotta stop talking about it. It’s freaking me out.
 
Re: Boston College Eagles 2019-20 - No Chit!

Just enjoy the ride. At this point it would certainly be disappointing to not win HE tournament or go back to FF. Hopefully they can achieve at least one of those goals.
 
Re: Boston College Eagles 2019-20 - No Chit!

Last thing I will say on this is you can handle one early departure. Newhook's impact is evident as you march towards tournament time. So if you lose Newhook but you return Knight, Boldy and Hardman...that is sustainable. But enough about that, he's been a treat to watch. Knight has been very good but Newhook has been spectacular. I know Hockey East likes doing shared awards and Zegras has been good but in my opinion Newhook is runaway favorite for ROTY.

I knew Newhook was coming on strong but he's led the nation in scoring apparently since Jan 1st. That's insane. Zegras is definitely filthy but the hot hand right now is Newhook and he has all the hot press right now.

TMQ thinks he may be a Hobey dark horse. The Hobey picture is pretty nuts this year, no real clear cut players or set of players to choose from. Leonard is great but Umass isn't going to get that 2 years in a row and he doesn't generally pass enough for my taste (3 assists the other night wow). But he's ridiculously good. Goalies, meh? Providence guys are good but team performance is not that great and they would even split some of the vote to some degree, which one is better? IDK. Who is North Dakota's best player? Seems like it is spread out there like it is at BC. I don't know what to think about it, but it's up for grabs right now and the winner of March among a large group could win the Hobey.

He is extremely impressive. His younger brother Ryan has 28 goals and counting as a freshman(!) at Pope Francis, so it appears that the Leonard family talent has not petered out.
 
Re: Boston College Eagles 2019-20 - No Chit!

Gaudreau (1st team) and Dumoulin (2nd) named to CHN's all-decade team. I give them some credit for knowing just how gd good Dumoulin was right from the get go. +40 as a freshman (next best BC player that year was Atkinson +26). +23 and +27 (also led the team) in sophomore and junior seasons. +90 in 123 career games. Ridiculous.
 
Re: Boston College Eagles 2019-20 - No Chit!

Best overall dman for BC since Leetch. Yes, better than Mottau.
