The only goal I blame Millan for was their 4th, which had him going down way too early.

Before their third, he made an amazing save. It's not like he had a bad game.

Our offense and defense on the other hand....ugh.

even on that goal there was a defender standing on the other side of millan who seemed to have no interest in going over and covering the unh forward standing by himself on the doorstep. i agree he went down too early on it, but that defender has to have his head up and at least make an effort to alter the shot.

some of the worst officiating I've seen in a long while. Parker was LIT and going OFF at the crew during the handshakes as well. I'll take the tie, but, my word, the refs left their fingerprints all over this game tonight...in any case..

some thoughts:
Freshmen - Thought overall, they played well. The D-men utilized a lot of stick checks and lane-blocking, which is usually an indication of proper body positioning. Chiasson is back to feeling comfortable finishing his checks, and I thought Megan showed some hustle as well. His forecheck, in particular, I thought was good. Nicastro just looks comfortable with the puck - whether along the boards, behind the net, or joining the rush.

Goaltending - Rollie made some big saves tonight. His glove hand looks quite comfortable, as he had to flash it a few times. With the exception of the fatty leg-pad rebound that led to UNH's first goal?, I thought he played well.

rest of the forwards - I really liked Gaudet's play tonight. He was all over the ice - forecheck, backcheck, blocked shots - nice to see. VinSap was pushing it pretty hard too. After the stick work he exhibited on his scoring drive, it was only right that he was rewarded a goal. Trivino still needs to work on faceoffs - I don't have the stats here, but I don't remember him winning a single one in the 3rd.

rest of the D - Although he started well, it looked Shatty started to lose a little focus towards the last half of the 3rd. For one, his positioning started to wane, and he seemed almost too willing to gain the zone with the puck. We know he's certainly proficient with the puck, but he usually dumps it along the glass and allows the forwards to chase...

All in all, I think it goes without saying that chemistry is a primary issue. Not knowing where their teammates are, but more importantly, not anticipating where their teammates will be. This should come with time, but it's still a glaring characteristic of this team.

can't wait to hear what Parker had to say after the game..

nice to see those in 116 channel old section 8 magic and give benny and gravellese hell when they walked out after the game. horrible no-calls tonight. even the call in ot wasn't that bad, but so much else missed. anyone else see the unh guy in handshake line after the game get into it with parker? he was ****ED.

Did I see Parker going after Butler in the handshake line? And why was Perreira taken out of the line and sent to the locker room?
 
Re: Boston University 2009-2010 Season Thread Part the One

That was the worst HE officiated game that didn't involve Conrad Hache in a long long time.

The missed HFB which was worth 5 was just absolute garbage.

That penalty on Warsofsky in OT had my eyes rolling so far back in my head that I could have seen people in the row behind me if I wasn't in the last row. That was maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaybe a penalty, definitely borderline, in regulation, but in OT??? Oy.

My favorite part of the game was the Raising Cane promo where you get some discount if a defenseman scores and hey! David Warsofsky scored! Except that he was playing forward tonight. :) And did very well.

The Warsofsky's penalty in OT was pure horse ****. Late in the third a guy took a full two-hander to Chiasson to break up a rush.

every challenge has been met so far this season. couple games ago they introduced it by saying if BU had >12 sog in a period there'd be a free chicken... and we had 13!!!:D .....

they were all penalties. warso pulled the stick back and put both hands on it and pushed the uhn dude into the post as he was driving to the net. vincent left his skates and jumped into the dude in the corner. chiasson broke his own stick on the slash. i'm not wasting time crying about any of those.

Worse than the crap I saw in Orono this weekend? Must have been bad
 
Re: Boston University 2009-2010 Season Thread Part the One

Not only were the missed calls the cause of so much frustration, the inconsistency of the calls was just deplorable. As already mentioned, Chiasson gets penalized for a slash to the stick, and yet when, with 30 seconds left in OT, they don't call that slash the UNH player laid on Chiasson's hands.

Agreed. Maybe a couple of missed calls, but for the most part, UNH simply didn't commit the obvious penalties that BU did.

There was a brutal obvious 5 minute major HFB on Joe behind the play. Gravs watched the guy put Joe into the boards, then as Joe was going down did it again.

I guess that doesn't count in your view.

Edit: the penalties called on BU were penalties, but they were soft, especially to a lot of the **** UNH got away with.

maybe Rough didn't see that, as it was "behind the play".

There was an exchange between Parker and Butler in the handshake line. It trickled through the handshake line, where Butler tried to start an altercation w/ Pereira and a couple of other BU players.

As that was happening, I noticed Parker & Umile exchanged a tense "hug", which then transpired into a brief but heated conversation between the two.

That's what I saw. When Pereira left the line, I thought Jack was pulling the whole team out of the line. That would have been bad.
