I wonder if Moscatel will get a chance to dress? Are there any other regulars with minor ailments that could use the extra day off?

Re: Boston University 2011-2012 Season Thread: Part III: Now What?
Good solid win for BU.
The team played with a lot of effort and seemed to be good chemistry-wise from what I could see.
Outstanding stick work on Courtnall's goal as well.
When is USCHO going to realize that BU played last night?

Parker is apparently giving Clendening the game off, he's letting him fly home to spend a belated Christmas with his family for a couple of days and more importantly give him a couple of days off from hockey that he didn't get from the WJC. So he won't even be in town tomorrow for the game.

Can anyone explain Connolly's complete inability to score goals this season? He has had exactly 10 goals each season so far so maybe he's just saving them up and will score 10 goals in the Beanpot/HE tournament/NCAA tournament. Or he will just not score any goals. I say he either scores exactly 10 or 0, and I'm leaning towards 0.

I thought he 'didn't care about the players except what they can do on the ice?' ;]
A good call all around, and I'm sure that the Clendening family appreciates it.
BTW, Clendening was excellent last night against Merrimack. He controlled the tempo when he was out on the ice and didn't have a careless give-away. If he can continue to play that way, he'll be the quarterback that he was billed as when he first came to BU.

Re: Boston University 2011-2012 Season Thread: Part III: Now What?
It was a very good TEAM performance, and it made at least a one-game statement that they aren't going to fade away because of the loss of two quality players.
I'm still not completely sold on Merrimack. They are a decent, hard-working team with some fast skaters and a very good goaltender. I suppose there may be no elite teams this year, and they may be in the upper echelon.
Sahir Gill was a player possessed. Chiasson, Courtnall, Clendening and Millan all stepped up, in particular.
Very few opponents have their heads down when Cisse is on the ice.
Nice to see "Carlos" Santana back, too. He has limited ability, but he works his butt off. Rosen, Gaudet and Santana are a pretty decent fourth line for a team that just lost two top-line forwards.
As for the question about Connolly's lack of goals ... he's been a bit snakebitten. We know he can score, and he probably will. And will likely be a big goal. He is still doing all of the little things that often go unnoticed, he's working hard and he is a terrific penalty killer. He's only three goals behind Coyle, and he may match him with a hat-trick that wouldn't be a big surprise.
The three true freshmen - Hohmann, Rodrigues and Privaterra - are also playing bigger roles. If their production can match their effort, they'll help make up for some of what was lost, too.

Re: Boston University 2011-2012 Season Thread: Part III: Now What?
Felt that the team showed a lot of character in stepping up at both ends of the ice. As for tonight's contest, it is an exhibition game counting for zero. Evidently 2 future Terriers are playing for that team. I, like Adam Cledening, will not be there as I need to regroup for work which comes very early on Mondays. Wish games were all Saturday night's but at lease Friday/Saturday allow time for recovery.
Besides Arkansas State is playing Northern Illinois in the GoDaddy. com bowl!

Re: Boston University 2011-2012 Season Thread: Part III: Now What?
Yes, they played a game good enough to win.... But let's remember that UAH beat Denver this weekend too.
Too many penalties.
Canatta didn't stop everything.
Consistency has been the problem for the past 15 yrs. let's take it slow with the praise, mmmkay?

Lame game on a Sunday night? (Why on earth could they have not at least scheduled this for a Saturday night?) I have no idea, but I'm gonna guess about 3,400? I'm on the fence here about going.
I dont think anyone is overly praising here, but there is no need for a doom and gloom attitude either. I think Harry put it best by saying that the team made at least a one game statement that they are not going to roll over and cash in the season.
Penalties yes... again we were in the box more than we wanted to be, but thats been ongoing and a work in progress for much of the season.
I also agree with Harry in that I'm not completely sold on Merrimack, but at least for Friday night, they came out and put up a good perfomance against a team that is supposed to be one of the better teams in the country... so lets kive them an attaboy for that.

Re: Boston University 2011-2012 Season Thread: Part III: Now What?
US Jr. National Team beat Northeastern 7-4 yesterday.
I'm sure it is a Sunday night game because that fit into the US Nats schedule and it didn't conflict with Frozen Fenway II.
They are giving away more BU hockey tee-shirts to the first 2,500 going to the game.
There will likely be a lot of kids in the stands. And Rollheiser in goal.
The two Boston University recruits playing for the Nats tonight are forward Matt Lane (2012) and defenseman Matt Grzelcyk (2013).

Re: Boston University 2011-2012 Season Thread: Part III: Now What?
The two BU recruits are #7 dman Matt Grzelcyk and #21 forward Matt Lane.. BC has two recruits on the team as well in forwards Brendan Silk and Frankie Vatrano. NU recruit Cam Darcy plays for the team as well. I wouldn't expect more than 3k tonight

Odd coincidence: Dave "Sniper" Tomlinson is in town and a 3-5 Shortie is scored at Fenway (by UNH).

Exhibition game finished 3-3, with BU holding a wide advantage in shots. Pretty entertaining game, with an announced crowd of 4,040. The tee-shirt give-away was the same design as opening night, but short sleeves instead of long with a Snapple logo on the back.
Rollheiser was in goal and looked just fine. Clendening and Rosen got the night off, but no sign of Ronan or Moscatel. Ruikka had a solid game after his nightmare at Notre Dame.
Nats' Stefan Matteau whacked Chiasson after the BU junior had been called for a penalty. Chiasson obviously made a note of #23 and banging him around pretty good on the next few shifts, earning himself a pretty wide berth for the rest of the game.
BU 2013 recruit Matt Lane scored the Nats first goal and was impressive among a strong group of forward prospects. BU 2013 recruit Matt Grzelcyk looked very skilled, quick of feet and mind at the blueline. Grzelcyk is two seasons away, and that looks like a good thing since he has got some growing and filling out to do. But both look like they could be REAL good ones.
Two BC recruits also played - Brendan Silk and Frankie Vatrano. Silk looked to be a real strong prospect. Vatrano didn't stick out, but it is only one game. Cam Darcy, who is heading to Northeastern, didn't dress.
I can see why BU were high on big Nats defenseman Gavin Stoick. Whomever ends up with him will have a large force on the blueline.

Re: Boston University 2011-2012 Season Thread: Part III: Now What?
Agree on MG....
In regards to the 2 BC players, Vatranno has 5 pts in 10 games and is leading USA with a plus 9 rating in 10 USHL games. Silk has zero points in 10 games and is even
Vatrano is the better of the 2 by a good margin and has also done far better in the intl stuff
