Here are a few kids that could make the BC team (in addition to the ones you mentioned): Nick Bonino, Kevin Shattenkirk, Colin Wilson, and Colby Cohen.
You throw those guys on this team and Jack and Co. would be looking alright, don't you think?
This team will be fine. There's a lot of hockey left to play and they're headed in the right direction.
If they all come back next year then we could be looking at a run deep into the NCAAs.

Boy, BU's record at the Whitt sure is uncanny. What is their record up there over the last few years?

I don't really need to read BC posts because there's usually a BC poster talking just about one in every three posts on one of the BU threads.
And I don't particularly care what a BC poster thinks about a Bill Simmons quote dissing BC people.

I remember hearing at the beginning of the season that Parker liked Noonan's shot, so I'd guess that's why he's on the second unit with Clendening, who after a very rough midseason stretch, has at least been making offensive plays (but holy lord is that kid slow...I'd be shocked if he gets to the next level without drastically improving his skating). Jack usually tries to keep lines somewhat together on the PP rather than putting two guys from one line with a guy from another line. And frankly, with the way the Coyle-Chiasson-Nieto line has been playing, I don't wanna see them split for the PP. I would be very okay with Megan being replaced on the second unit, as despite a few nice plays here and there, his production has been brutal this year. Even Trivino has been much more productive when he's playing with decent linemates.
I don't love Nicastro not getting PP time, as he has shown an ability to fire the puck as well, but Connelly is savvy enough to play the point and I think he plays pretty well with Coyle too.

sure, you don't NEED to read 'em but surely you do
............also, good tough win by you guys last night. facing an o-fer for the week and pulling out a W up there was big. i would think before the weekend you would have taken a split and it didn't look like it would happen but you got it done, kudos for that. above post mentions BU's success at the Whit, i listened to the last 10 minutes on the radio and the guy said Terrier's record is 10-7-6 since Lake Whitt opened in 1995

I guess every kid on campus got letters of recommendation and the grades to get into the school they attend, yet some of them do things that are far worse than what gets a hockey player suspended...maybe it is because they are 18-21 years old and that could be called the "Old enough to get into some real trouble" age. Most of the stuff BU players get in trouble for would make them employee of the month in a big time football program

By the way, BU is 0-1-1 vs. Brown, too. Maybe someday you'll win a game vs. the Bears again. Probably not. I dont hate BU, I feel bad for BU because of your team's ineptitude in your games this year vs. your "rival" BC. I haven't seen a group of people whip "dogs" this bad since Michael Vick and friends a few years ago. It's ok, win or lose, Jackie is going to booze.

Some random thoughts from the weekend and in response to some topics on here.
- That 3 on 1 goal by BC was sick. How many opportunities would BU need to zing it around like that?
- That goal was BU's season in a nutshell. BU looks to breakout shorthanded. BU's most skilled puckhandler (Warsofsky) tries to pass it ahead and it ends up hitting skates and leads to a 3 on none / 3 on 1 the other way. AGreed that the interference call on Escobedo that I believe led to that PP was atrocious. All he did was stand in one place. The BC foward skated into him and fell down.
- Kreider alomst scored 10 seconds into the game thanks to that strange bounce off the boards. I wonder what the record is for quickest goal in a BU-BC game.
- Each game against BC, the scoring margin has narrowed. Might we continue that trend at the Garden?
- Millan was a monster against UNH, and had a great weekend overall.
- In two ways, last nights game reminded me of the 2009 regional final. First, the aforementioned play of Millan. Second, the GWG was somewaht of a fluke. It really looked like an own goal to me, after watching it several times. Gaudet really looked like he was trying to dish the puck to his left, given that he had two guys on him. One of the UNH's players sticks was going in the direction of the shot, I think he put it in. If you watch Gaudet's reaction, including on the bench, he's got the "I'll take it" laugh going on.
- Coyle looked much better against UNH than against BC. How he didn't score on that great move to the net, I'll never know (partly because the broadcast never showed a replay).
- Despite a decent weekend, BU's PP numbers are downright embarassing. How can a team with that level of talent not be able to convert above 10%. The answer, as some have alluded (including myself on previous posts), comes down to coaching. I don't understand putting forwards at the point. I hated it when Yip was there, and I don't like it when Connolly is there. Are our d-men really that terrible, that we can't find 4 that can handle this role? keep the forwards down low and in front of the net. That's where they are used to being. And get rid of the umbrella. Two points and one man in front of the net (what a concept!).
We need a split in Orono, to say the least.

Re: Boston University 2010-11 part II - The Hunt For Red November
Congrats...you might be better than us this year. It's now 57-21-3 in the all-time series...If my calculations are correct, you've officially reached our level.
Thing is, that kinda thing can happen once a decade. You should try being a little less smug about BU's struggles until your program does anything, ever.
But those are witty and new comments about Jack's alcohol issues. You're a fan of a second-rate hockey program so you're stealing the material from fans of a first-rate one? Aren't you supposed to be from a 'smart' school? At least come up with something original.

It was an own goal. Gaudet: "Wade was forechecking pretty well. He poked the puck away from, I think it was Henrion. Then I tried jumping on the puck. I actually got a stick on it and I tried putting my body into him to pull it to my backhand, and then he just whacked it off my stick and it went in five-hole."

Hey, hey! This ain't soccer. There's no "own goal." Leave that stuff for the footies.

This week you've got sad little posts in the BU, Brown, Merrimack, Lowell, Yale, Vermont, Miami, UNH and Maine threads -- and you're still green! Dude, you can't even troll right!

defkit: Millan was good for 5 of 6 periods this weekend. I just wish he was more consistent. You never know when he's going to be just ordinary. He sure was good in the 3rd of the BC game and most of last night. They need him to be consistent.
Jack mentioned that Coyle has been sick this week. That might explain his play Friday night. He did look a lot better last night.
The way BU plays on Lake Whit, how come BU didn't build a 200x100 rink?
Yep, need a split next weekend.

Fanboys like yourself have such a hypersensitivity after a loss to BC that is very interesting. You carry this sort of thing with you for quite a long time. It's quite endearing actually.

No, they brought the corners in a couple feet to make the corners and behind the net tighter, but the sheet's still 100 feet wide.

Re: Boston University 2010-11 part II - The Hunt For Red November
When he made his final move to his right, the puck slid about six inches farther than he wanted, he recovered and got his stick on the puck, but his angle to the net was so bad, he would've had to thread the needle to get it in, and very nearly did. He had DiGiorno dead to rights, but was a few inches off. IIRC, there was someone else who had a second whack at it and also missed/was blocked.
Great effort last night. Still some mistakes, but they were mostly the growing pains kind of mistakes and not the lack of caring mistakes. How many shots did BU block last night? Seemed like there were quite a few.
