Added gallery to the recap - http://www.uscho.com/recaps/20092010/m/11/14/mc-bu.php (scroll down)

Re: Mookie's comments on Colby - from my view Cohen appeared to be heading to position when Popko stopped to push his (CC's) stick to him and it was only then that he went to retrieve it. He still should have ignored, but it seemed more Popko's error.
 
Re: Boston University 2009-2010 Season Thread Part the One

they played the first period well. if this was a fight, the first would have been 10-8 BU (if not stopped). but the fight continued and i'd have to give the 2nd and 3rd rounds to MC 10-9 each.

but you are right... win is a win.

3 things tonight (in order as they happened)...

**Vincent has to get off the top two lines. he is now a liability there. his goal scoring occurs when the puck is loose in the crease and he can skate in and tap it across. that's it. ZCohen hits a post in the 3rd. rebound across the ice right to Vincent off the lw circle. wait.. 1-one thousand, 2-one thousand. shoot. of course he misses the side of a barn.. but over and over it's the same result. HE.CAN.NOT.PULL.THE.TRIGGER. that's what his job requires. if he can't do it, don't put a kid in a situation where he is destined to fail.
i am not questioning his drive out there. he works hard and kills penalties. love the effort. probably nice to babies and dogs. but sending him out there game after game to stand 8 feet from the net on the PP and one time passes is a dead end loser. (there was another moment in the 1st on the PP when he couldn't wait long enough.. but whatever. i have been mentioning it for over 13 months now.)

**Colby is hillarious. what a WLB! the MC kid pulls his stick out and it gets thrown along the near boards toward the BU bench on a 3x5 PK... he turns and cries to the ref.. THEN.ACTUALLY.SKATES.TO.FETCH.THE.STICK.WHILE.MC.HAS.CONTROL
AND.LETS.THEM.SCORE.FROM.IN.FRONT..... WHILE OF COURSE DOWN TWO MEN!!!
this is insane!!!! where does this come from?!? this lack of thought on the consequence of one's actions is baffling. and the 'whiny'-ness?? we've seen his tough side. he doesn't back down. not last night. we've all seen the youtube of him pounding big nick petrecki while in the ushl... but my lord already.

**Bavo and JP need to get their heads out of their *****es. ZCohen breaks a strap on his helmet and goes off... we need a fifth skater.. waiting...waiting... both Bavo and JP are looking out there. no telling one guy to jump. no shift change (i mean, why would they.. Nick is on the ice.. the only guy who has come close to winning a draw outside of Megan last night in the 1st and 2nd periods). just Zach standing there looking at his helmet getting fixed, then looking at his coaches... almost 20 seconds. FINALLY we decide to send out a whole new line (:rolleyes: ). well, no. sorry. but MC has changed. you had your turn. confusion. ref has to allow one out. but no, Corey came first. we want CrisCo... no, Corey stays... of course then... NICK.GETS.THE.BOOT.AND.COREY.LOSES.THE.DRAW... PP shortly over, never again getting a chance to set up. falls to Rollie to save their ***** with an incredible flurry later on.


my head hurts from watching. ugh. :(

let's see KM rebound nicely up at Lake Whitt friday, then Rollie can win at home saturday and our boys will only be ONE game under .500 with the chance to even it up v. Harvard 'fore turkey time.:p
my head hurts from having just read that. ugh. ;) :p

All the postgame transcripts are now up on the blog, as are grades and a slideshow.
 
Re: Boston University 2009-2010 Season Thread Part the One

Boys should be ready to play then with the changes. Just can't let themselves be discouraged if for some reason they don't have 4 first period goals. Be confident. Work to win the little battles. Back up your linemates. Long season (I mean this one in a good way ;))

Well they got their 4 and nearly ****ed it away.

I can't believe I'm saying this but, The Merrimack College Warriors have more size and talent than the defending National Champions. :eek: (With the exception of that stiff they started in goal tonight.) At least based on what I saw tonight.

Were tonight's refs called up from the Mite Hockey circuit? *shudder*

With the exception of Colby Cohen's three rockets and a few Chiasson snipes, does BU have any true "goal scorer" goals this year? Can anyone else on this team shoot?

Right now this is a 6th or 7th place, the season is over on March 13th, Sucks to BU, team. They have a lot of work today. Are they up to it?

That play drove me mental! Even with his waiting for what seemed to be a full minute to take a shot, I think he still could have (and should have) scored.

Yes, someone can. He just needs to re-condition himself since he hasn't played in a while. Until then he'll make the forwards who couldn't hit a barn look great. ;)

I of course mean Ross Gaudet. :p

his favorite spot too. i'm surprised he doesn't melt the ice with all the time he stands there waiting, his body heat must create a puddle.

Like this quote from Connolly about his first goal, Vinny should take a page out of his book:

"So, I was getting ready to shoot the puck and I had an open net. I told myself, 'If I miss that, I may as well just leave the ice and go get undressed.'"

I picked up on this on numerous occasions last season as well. Lil' Saponari has a really hard time pulling the trigger if the puck is not laying absolutely flat. Taking the extra second to settle the puck gives the goalie enough time to square himself to the shot. Maybe he needs to channel his alter-ego Vinny Saporino

Should be in the alumni thread, but what the hay....has Colin WIlson been sent down? I haven't seen his name on the box score rosters for a couple games now.

Re-injured his groin, should be back in a few days.
 
Re: Boston University 2009-2010 Season Thread Part the One

He was actually back in Boston last week(end?) for treatment. He got his ring when he was in town.

:D whenever i read "groin injury", i always think of Sam (and with the release of the beanpot trot - very apropos)

I swear I thought of the EXACT same thing when I read the response. Of course I would not have the ability to find the video, so yes, nicely done!
 
Re: Boston University 2009-2010 Season Thread Part the One

So we finally dropped out of the top 20, thank goodness because this team really doesn't deserve to be ranked. Can't go anywhere but up from here.
