The question to ask is with such a top heavy team should he be the one getting top 6 minutes?

that's the $64,000 question but as has been discussed, there aren't a lot of options on this team and Jerry must see something in him that perhaps we or I dont (my money is on Jerry) and it could be the ankle too as you say. I do think he is moving a bit better. I was watching him when he came back starting to skate from a standstill and it was awkward as heck, so that's probably the lingering sprain. He looks a lot better doing the same things now than before. I just dont like what i see when he has the puck.............

Keys to BC success this Sunday...
1. Get to the venue an hour, or two, earlier.
2. Do not fall down when tripped, you embellisher.
3. When cross checked into the MC goalie, punch him in the head on the way down to make the 2:00 goalie interference call worth it.
4. Better yet, just run the goalie's arse early on with a vicious hit and send Bigos a message... "We don't need your help to hit your goaltender." ;)
5. You should be used to playing 7 against 5 by now. You're better than the other team. Just figure out a way to beat the zebra's.

I ain't complaining or anything... just offering some constructive advice. :D

+/- is very strange on this team. The fact that Arnold is only +4 is alarming, he is the best two-way player in the league and has 25 pts. How can he possibly have the same +/- as Straight, you know what I'm saying?

I'm more concerned with the lack of production, less than 1PPG, from JG since Linell was moved up to his line and Whitney moved down. Linell has the tools but is unable to put it all together and you can see how it has changed that top line.

Now you're talking!

I said on EA this morning, it's been a very odd season from BC's perspective thus far. The awesome first 2 months have really kept us afloat for a while, but that seems like forever ago. Really struggled after Christmas at only 6-6-2, and there have been several spots I expected them to rattle off some wins that just haven't happened (5-2 W vs UNH & the Beanpot win).

Individually, the line changes designed to create 3 scoring lines lasted about a period and a half and really all it has done is have Linell get top 6 minutes over Destry (obviously this is pre-Hayes), all the while Whitney keeps chugging along at a torrid pace. York probably thought screw it, with this team I'm riding the big horses for the last 2 months as far as I can go.

The scoring from the Smith-Brown-Dyroff line has been a help (Quinn with 5 goals in last 8 after 1 in first 52 games -not a typo), but they aren't a shut down line with Brown -7 & Dyroff -6.

Don't really get Silk-Sit-Straight and their ice time reflects that I guess (annoying they don't keep TOI), again pre-Hayes.

If you were at the UNH game Linell made some great passes to Mullane and JG. Mullane missed 1 open net JG missed two. Not Linell's fault. Looking at it objectively JG hasn't been that good last few games. He had several breakaways vs Merrimack and UNH and converted none. Whitney has clearly been the better of the two and has benefitted Arnold in Haye's abscence. I think they will put Hayes back with Arnold and Whitney when he returns and put Straight back with Sit and Silk. I agree with comments on Smith-Dryoff-Brown line. Not a shutdown line when you consider their +/- .

yeah, i do............you're right and Arnold at only +4 maybe even stranger than Hayes -4

me too but we'd feel a lot better if JG had converted maybe 2 out of the last 10+ ,it seems, clear breakaways he's had in the past month or so

and i think 4-6-2 in HE after an 8-1 start. thought we had a 1 or 2 seed in the bag at that point. If Jerry is going to ride the big horses then he needs to reinstate KH by the end of the year which i think he will but with these type ofthings and Jerry not willing to put up with too much BS, you never know..............

They were 2-4 last year, but they started 0-4 (Denver, BU, Notre Dame, BU). Finished with the last two regular season games vs. Vermont, for their two wins.

In 2010-2011, they were 2-1. The wins were the home and home vs. BU and the loss was at Maine (their only blemmish in a 15 game stretch).

I'm glad the Nicastro and Trivino rapes over there are a coincidence.

But you, brassbonanza, and Matt Nieto probably have some explaining to do then.

Either my self deprecating humor is not obvious enough or you are too dense. Or both.

Ok, been in here too long, I feel dirty, time to dispose of my clothes and scamper away in a trashbag.
