Well then, good to know that you are the mouthpiece for bonanza. Going forward I'll come straight to you for decoding.

Ha, yes, you got me. I respond to every post. I still think he was mocking some of your own fans for having the audacity to think parker has lost control. I'll wait for further clarification from PR though.

Rough 'em up!!!

Nothing pizzes me off more than when BU goons it up when they are losing- and they do it all the time. Seems like a pretty simple coaching matter- goon it up and you sit. Period.

Ironic that RPI is next. I was pretty embarrassed leaving Houston Field House last year.

Tighten it up, Jack!

Embrassing display. Once again the team shows up half asleep and gets crushed. Have seen this happen, oh...I'd say a bazillion times since I started watching the team. There's only been one person associated with the team all tha time (aside from Bernie Corbett that is)...

In alumni news, I went to the hometown traditional NYE game for the Ft. Wayne Komets and who should skate by wearing a Toledo Walleye uniform? Max Nicastro.

Hegarty (from Maine) skates for the Komets now and there were some other NCAA names I recognized as well.

Sort of neat to see some them playing again. Although Toledo drubbed my Komets 9-4. So it was another one of those "bad bad games."

I'd like to commend my fellow BU posters for not pointing out that in the Minnesota-BC game Minny's excellent forward Erik Haula had a finger broken by a BC slash.

Problem is it didn't happen at the hands of one of BC's "smurf" forwards...doesn't fit the stereotype ;)

When does it come time to start thinking of the next coach? Lets be honest, coach Parker's health hasn't been top notch, and he is getting up there in age. Who comes next? I the wake of recent events, BU needs to look for a guy who's widely seen as a good guy, and has tremendous integrity. It's not that commonly thought of but I think They should have a go at a D3 guy. First man that fits that criteria that stands out to me and others I've spoken to is Jack Arena. He is a Boston native, not too old (could potentially serve over 10 years), has built a very strong program at a school where admissions is VERY strict, he is raved about among colleagues, and is an incredible recruiter.
An argument against this would be that he has been at Amherst for 30 years an wont leave but I'd have to disagree with that. In the past this was true, but rumor has it Arena was approached for the UMass job and seriously considered moving. He could build a great, respected legacy at Boston University.

There are obviously other possibilities, I just wanted to put out this idea.

On the positive, the rink is sort of already named after him, which would eliminate any awkwardness when it's time to honor him.
On the negative, who?

How about Phil Housley...he's gonna be in demand at some point in the near future.
