While I agree that it has to be in the coaches minds that they want to see the guys they committed a scholarship to succeed, it doesn't always work that way. We've seen highly recruited scholarship players leave BC because things didn't work out. We've also seen other guys sit in the stands and wait their turn. In this situation, where the alternatives are a sophomore walk on and a freshman walk on, it's in their best interest to let the scholarship players play. We're talking about two sophomores and three freshmen back there. I also think that if one was struggling so mightily, York wouldn't hesitate if their was a better option.
Petrecki last year is a perfect example.
BC is no different
You say this as if it's common knowledge. Please enlighten us on what happened. I'm not saying these people don't call coaches, etc. I'm saying York does what's best for his hockey team.
And Samuelson took a HUGE penalty in the third that took away two minutes of attack time in the third as well. Then proceeded to get beat and gave up the game winner.
I would hate to see this thread if Lyles was minus 2, had a penalty in 3rd and was toasted one on one for the game winner...
OK, I'm not sure you get where I'm coming from. I'm not attacking Lyles. I already said Samuelsson got beat on that play. Don't try to equate a penalty two minutes into the third (that one looked clean to me as well) to Lyles taking a bad penalty with BC down 2-1 with five minutes to go.
