Wow. I don't know what's worse. I suppose it could be pure coincidence you saw him, but after the game walking home I don't think so. Did you ask him what he knows about Alex Greer?

And you think you know better than the doctors? Walking home, no sweat, no hurry. High ankle sprains are pretty painful when you're trying to skate, dive to block shots, get hit along the boards, etc., i.e. play hockey at a fast pace. I've seen pretty amazing "recoveries" from unspecified upper and lower body injuries, but I'd bet an actual high ankle sprain keeps Trivino out at least 2 weeks. What were his injuries last year that kept him out forever?

wonder if the boys will move up from #24 into the actual rankings :eek: --- can they use that to motivate and see the improvement and seek higher levels? or like themselves a bit and fall back to their old ways vs pc?

A new restaurant at the corner of Agganis and Comm ave where McD's used to be that does a random challenge that if BU gets all meals are buy one, get one free

Ahhh.... I see. What's the restaurant like, and more importantly, any good food? It seems that area of Comm Ave is getting a rejuvenation (UBurger, Chipotle, this place, etc.).

well, UNH isn't as good as they have been in recent years, and I'm not sure how they've managed to be on top, and somewhat comfortably, for so long this season. The league is as competitive top to bottom as it has been in a while, but it is also very weak compared to at least the WCHA this year..

What UNH DOES have going for them (other than a 3 point lead with 6 games to go) is that 4 of their final 6 are at home where they've only lost 2 hockey east points all year (ties against BC and UML). IF (Big IF) UNH wins those four games, they finish #1. If UNH wins any 4 of those remaining 6 and BC loses just one, UNH will finish as the top seed. I can see them not doing that, as, again, I think they've played well above their heads for much of the year, and though they're not as consistent, BC has shown to be probably the most dangerous team in the league, and the only one that scares me head to head with UNH, but I like their chances. Post season... thats a different story :D

funny how uvm is close to losing their spot in our conf playoffs, but their 6-1-0 ooc record has them in a #3 seed

Is that even possible and has it ever happened? That a team misses its conference playoffs yet still made the NCAA tournament? :confused: :eek:

right now BU controls their own destiny for home ice. win and i get charged more $$$$ :(

You mean you don't want to be charged more money?? If they indeed do what they said you believe they can and will do, that's money I'd be happy to spend. :p :cool:

Not your father's Jack. In the first Vincent missed perhaps his widest open net of the season from two feet. As he lines changed the coach came down the lone to meet V and slapped hands, then patted him on the back twice, then finished hiM off with a helmet shake. Made me watch closer and all night the coaches did in kind, buddy with the D and Bavo with the fwds.

Mookie, not to say I told you so but I told you so! Go back to our January banter where we discussed coachng and whats involved. As Jack has turned around his style to a more positive nurturing approach its interesting how the team has responded.

Are all those 19 year olds playing better position hockey and not making mental mistakes because Jack taught them where to be or are they playing better because of greater confidence without team and coaches chirping at each other? Now both players and coaches have became accountable to the concept of team it seems to me.

Whie we are at it, seems I was getting lashed by you when I brought up the focus should be gaining home ice to make a run at HE championship.

You are a good man and I enjoy reading your posts but just couldn't resist a little "I told you so" after getting negative reps for my January comments.

Let's get behind the boys for a 4 point weekend against the Friars. I'm more worried about that series than this last weekend as the Terriers have struggled against these guys and Beaudry has played like Martin Brodeur against us.

They have three different chicken finger combo plates and a chicken sandwich. I love it. If you don't like chicken, well, don't bother. The Texas toast and Raising Cane's sauce are also phenomenal. I go at least once a week (usually right after talking to Parker on Wednesdays).

A little overpriced for the amount of chicken they give you, IMO.

Please go away and stop spewing garbage. As BU Hammer already pointed out, high ankle sprains are very unpredictable. Parker said last night that the team wouldn't really have any idea how long he'll be out until Tuesday or Wednesday at the earliest, and that even then, there wouldn't be any sort of set timetable because there's no way to know how long or how much it'll bother Trivino. Regardless of the severity, I'd say Trivino is doubtful at best for this weekend. Parker called it a "pretty serious injury," which would seem to indicate that he'll almost certainly miss some time.
 
Re: Boston University 2009-2010 Season Thread III: From the Beanpot until the end...

High ankle sprains are actually ligament tears, the severity of which depends on the grade.

It's touch and go for how quickly Trivino will be back. He could skate next week against PC or not be available until the NCAA playoffs (if we make it that far.)

Can we just take a moment to applaud the terror for consecutive posts without any misspellings or grammatical errors. First BU wins consecutive games on back-to-back nights, and now this? What a weekend!!!

Agreed, that's the player who had the single largest single season improvement in program history you're talking about. I vote Parker almost kicks everyone off the team every summer.

Doesn't have any data to show improvement. I'm sure if he played this well in practice last year as he has been this year he wouldn't have been redshirted, but I have a hard time believing he could go from 3 goals in 51 games to 13 goals in 41 games, while still being on the 4th line.
 
Re: Boston University 2009-2010 Season Thread III: From the Beanpot until the end...

Yeah, good point. Different situation, equally surprising I think, though.
 
Re: Boston University 2009-2010 Season Thread III: From the Beanpot until the end...

16 points in 109 games to 29 points in 45 games for John McCarthy wasn't too shabby, either.
