Nonsense. It is good as long as you have guys willing to let it be over and done with. Back in the day when I was a student, I would always hear about a fight in March between two BC guys. At that point, I knew practices were intense and they were about to kick some major azz. It happened almost every single year I was there - they went to 4 straight FFs and won 3 HE tourney titles (should have been 4 in a row but surprise, surprise Maine cheated) in my 4 years. So I look at that as a great thing.

I see all indications that BU is going to win this game tomorrow. The fired up practices by BU, the injuries to BC's defense with the 5th and 6th guys on D playing a total of 9 career games, and the quotes from BU's captains about refocusing and having more team meetings.

Scarlet, BU2k, Gentry, Babs, etc... if you guys are around please do come by say hello to the family. The 7:30 start should get us in to Conte a little earlier than we're used to so we'll be around.

I'd love to come down, but I'll be stuck up in Vermont this weekend!

I agree with this. I've heard about and personally seen many fights in practice, and was even involved in a few myself growing up. Hell, we used to helmet box even when we weren't mad at each other. The ice is like Vegas -- what happens there stays there (well, unless a petty media member decides to write about it). Almost all of those fights started because of someone being aggressive and just going all out. If they're doing that in practice, they're probably gonna be doing that in the game. Plus, doing the same drills every practice can lead to some flatness. Aggression, high tempers and fights get everyone pumped up again.

Did not any of you ever fight with a brother growing up in your house that you saw every single day?!?

My brother and I tore each other apart on a daily basis. I believe we each have scars that can be attributed to each other. He's still my best friend.

I was on the ice recently with my 5 and 9 year old cousins, and they dropped the gloves. Five minutes later, they were totally fine. Sometimes you just need to blow off steam, no matter what age or who it is.


In terms of the game tonight.... super ****ed. I was planning on watching it in a bar, but turns out I'm playing a game in the boondocks of Northern CT at 8:45. Maybe I'll be lucky enough to pick up 1510 on the drive up, but I doubt it.

Does anyone know if John McCarthy was recruited as a football player? If he was, which schools pursued him?

It seems that Gryba forgot to mention that he is also working on beating his teammates up more often. I mean, Victor Saponari? Really? I understand it fires players up, but I still feel fighting your own teammates can't be that good.

I think it's great for teams.

Three brothers... we had wars! Still all best buddies some 50+ years later (and still push each other around). Funny part... the off spring think they can take us. More rough stuff... old men vs. 20+ year olds and we can still kick their arse! (only a few more years of that crap left in us though). :D
Ahhh... the memories. :)

Of all people, I saw Eric Thomassian and Steve Greeley get into a fight at practice during the 02-03 season. It was awesome, especially because I always liked Greeley more and he was much, much better at fighting.

I also once saw Kenny Roche and someone else replicate the Slap Shot stick fight between McCracken and Carlson. It was the last time I ever enjoyed watching Kenny Roche do anything.

Hey, that makes us 4-1-0 in 2010. :) Let's see it continue against UNH, eh?

strangely enough, BU has yet to lose a season series tie breaker in conference. tomorrow will tell us if this continues or not.
 
Re: Boston University 2009-2010 Season Thread II: Still got a pulse, time for CPR

Milan is back! He was amazing tonight, saved the game several times. BC did not look too sharp but could have easily won it.

now if only we knew how to spell his name...

awesome game tonight, even if BC was injured and we did (I think) get a little help from the black and whites... that was a huge win

now we have to keep it up tomorrow, no time for hangovers here, 2 points is not enough this weekend

It was a sad moment last week when I noticed someone had hand stitched "MILAN" onto their jersey.



I'll take the win, but I think the presence of Wey and Cross would have changed the result.
 
Re: Boston University 2009-2010 Season Thread II: Still got a pulse, time for CPR

For the love. Of. GOD! To the BU fans sitting in upper KK that had the unmitigated GALL to chant SCOREBOARD at the BC fans after BC scored their third goal - if I find out who you are I will have Agganis revoke your ticket privileges. And don't think I don't know enough people there to figure out how to do that. Never, ever, EVER, NEVER chant "scoreboard" in a game like that, especially in an opposing team's rink.

That said....yay! I think Colby's last 5 goals have been from that face off dot.
