next year with the 6 stars on the back of the sweaters be in a straight line? a triangle shape (1-2-3)? a circle?

when you get too many it creates problems.

Seriously. I didn't realize they are literally .500. I'm not sure I will be able to deal with things if BU actually gets a good coach.

I saw Lyles play several games last year, I thought he displayed skill but and he was never able to connect the dots. He often played too fast trying to create something that was not there, and went off script, trying to do something while the rest of the team and coaches was doing something else. Bazin gave him plenty of chances but the fit was never there.

Yes seriously there was a good opening there to put the puck in and the player seemed to put it on target and put his stick in the air to celebrate. Somehow it didn't go in.

FYI, I watched the 3rd period and OT of the BC-Michigan game from 2004 this weekend. Say what you will about Matti (and the two interesting goals he gave up that day) but he was off the charts late in that game, including his famous toe save in overtime.

Also, Tony Voce is historically very underrated. Great player who scored even when Ben Eaves was injured.

According to the Kid, Hayes will be in the lineup tonight.

Agreed. One of the best pure snipers BC has seen, during the York era. Right up there with Jeff Farkas and this year's Steven Whitney.

As a side note, I've seen Austin Cangelosi play and he reminds me of Tony Voce (only he shoots right).

Funny you mentioned B.Eaves & Voce. After my last post this morning, I was thinking that Gaudreau/Whitney are as close as we've seen in comparison to them. Before I ran out the door to work, I did a quick check on their numbers.
2002-2003 Eaves 18-38-56, Voce 22-22-44
2003-2004 Eaves 9-25-34 (26 games), Voce 29-18-47

Voce was one hell of a shooter. Ben got the puck to him and it didn't take long for it to be on its way to the net.
Whitney has that skill, but he doesn't think 'shoot first'. He has a tendency to look for something better. He's had to work a little harder collecting his goals recently, so perhaps he's discovered he's a 'shooter'. He starts thinking 'shoot first' and he'll be lighting the lamp with greater frequency.

You don't break up tandems like Eaves/Voce, any more than you break up guys like Gaudreau/Whitney. Tough to stop skill like that. You can only hope to contain them and limit the damage. I'm hoping Jerry was giving them a wake-up call and eventually reunites them.

My thoughts on Linell... heck of a hockey player. I think he'll develop into a scorer, he has all the tools. But right now, he's a darn good grinder. Gaudreau doesn't need a grinder, he needs a guy that will bury his tape to tape passes. Give him the sniper.

Yep. The first goal in that Michigan 2004 game was Eaves behind the net to Voce sneaking down near the goal line and he snapped it into the net before Montoya even knew what happened. And they scored a lot of goals just like that from either side.... I believe Eaves to Voce also had a similar one in the 2003 HE Title game that should have sewn the game up before BC blew it and BU won in like 3OTs or whatever (Justin Maiser).

90 freaking career goals over 4 years. 167 points. That's a career.

Voce was a fullback at Lawrence Academy and played like a football player out there. Tough as heck with a good set of hands and pretty good wheels. It was good to see him come back to BC for the 2012 banner raising this season, first time I've believe he's been involved in one of those rather than a lot of the usual suspects (Allen, Dziama, Peterson, Kelleher, etc).

Who wouldn't run from one of if not the biggest punks in Hockey East history? You never knew if he'd take his skate off and come after you...
