I'm sure he gained some mad skills playing along a player who got paid for the game that would be totally unfair to other players without such benefits. [/sarcasm]

And it was a much larger benefit than those players who went to NHL Development Camps and played with pro's and weren't suspended.

From The Boston Hockey Blog twitter:

"LINEUP UPDATE: Freshman D Ahti Oksanen will sit out two games for NCAA violations during his time with the Espoo Blues. The Blues had a professional player with them for two games, so Oksanen needs to sit out one NCAA game for each he played with a pro. Jack Parker knew of the violation before bringing Oksanen in over the summer."

So he didn't play as a pro, but since he had a teammate who was a pro that played for 2 games he has to sit out an equal number of games. Doesn't make sense. Welcome to the NCAA Ahti!

Well, that's really stupid.

Par for the course with the NCAA. Yet they had no problem letting that Yale kid play a few years back.

Anybody have any inside info on who plays Saturday, and line combinations? I'm guessing that this being the first real week of practice, the coaches may still be making those decisions.

I'm excited to see some BU Hockey for the first time since March.

Just a note to anyone coming to the game Friday, you may have read that there's been a rash of armed robberies in the area surrounding Agganis in Brookline, as well as last night one on Comm Ave down the street. Two were in broad daylight on heavily trafficked streets and one in the evening, so when you park your car, don't flash any valuables as you're walking down the street.

I believe they bagged one of the little ******** yesterday so hopefully problem solved after he gives up his buddies.

Yes, one of those little cretins turned himself in. Which is always nice but I personally prefer police solving the crime and swat teams kicking in doors and perps getting roughed up or tazed myself. Personally preference of course.

I find the whole thing sad more than anything else. They're just kids. What a waste. I just hope they can still find a way to salvage their lives, and that the justice system won't leave them in worse shape than when it found them.
 
Re: Boston University 2012-13 Season Thread -- Up To The Task?

Maybe they thought they would get the $10,000...

If I had to guess I'd say they'll be similar to last week's lines. Parker said after the game he liked the lines best as they were at the start, so he doesn't really have much reason to change them. Of course, that 12th spot is kind of up in the air.

Screw them. I hope they get sent to federal "pound you in the ###" prison! Could have used a few extra bucks in college myself to help pay for the loans, but never thought to wave a gun a people. What exactly is a 15 year old doing out at 3AM anyway?

Two robberies also occurred in broad daylight at 5 PM, one of which on the front step of the building I lived in for three years up until a few weeks ago right around the time when I would've been arriving home from work, which also is next door to a daycare center. I still live in the neighborhood and don't walk out at night because of these schmucks. It's lead to racial division on campus and accusations of profiling by students and BUPD. I don't have any sympathy.


Edit: It appears three suspects have now been arrested.

Maybe I missed it, but there don't seem to be any game notes for tonight's tilt on BU's site. Wonder if it's a change in policy or if staff aren't in midseason form.
 
Re: Boston University 2012-13 Season Thread -- Up To The Task?

No more BUMhockey!! They changed the twitter name to @terrierhockey.

Oh, and O'Connor gets the start in net tonight.
 
Re: Boston University 2012-13 Season Thread -- Up To The Task?

Heh. I'm wondering what genius in the PR/Marketing office approved @bumhockey in the first place.

No programs at the rink either ... but glad that's my only gripe. Lots to like about the game, starting with a 3-point for Hohman (whose line for last season was 2-6-8.
 
Re: Boston University 2012-13 Season Thread -- Up To The Task?

Yeah, Hohmann certainly had his career game, and looks like he is ready to emerge as one of the top scorers on the team.

- I thought the teams were very evenly matched. Tough to tell this early if they belong near the top or the middle of the conference.
- I liked the 60 minutes of effort. More please.
- Myron looks like the best of the freshmen forwards at this point. But that whole third line looked pretty solid.
- O'Connor certainly looks like he can hang at this level. Seems to have a good glove. First goal was a deflection. Second one was a rebound that an uncovered forward banged under his pad - he must have lifted it ever so slightly. I thought he deserved the third star, not Riukka (actually got #2). Riukka had a horrible giveaway behind our net that almost cost us.
- Nice to see Parker confident enough in Lane to have him out there with the 4th line in the last couple minutes with a 1 goal lead. He was rewarded with an assist on Rosen's ENG.
- 2 league points - we'll take it!
