Obviously there is a bigger prize than HE tourney but white did just get a lot of rest. Missed end of regular season and then had another week off. Nobody is 100% this time of year but he is alleged to be healthy. If you're healthy, you play in these games. Teams that are at the garden want to win it. So do the coaches. David quinn would rather be playing at the garden this weekend. Plus, BC is fighting for a #1 seed and can still finish 2nd in pwr at last check.

It's rarely a surprise following the end of a season to learn of several players on each team playing thru injuries during the postseason. In certain cases it is significant enough where there's no other choice to shut someone down -- i.e. Walman at PC -- but if it's something that one can play through without significantly risking further damage, they'll play.
Sometimes its visible that a player is playing thru injuries and clearly doesn't seem 100%; other times they mask it very well (i.e. Grzelcyk playing thru HEs and NCAAs last year on a torn ACL).

I think I've read way too many posts on the PWR and should probably stop since I really don't know enough about it but I could've sworn I saw somewhere that they couldn't get a #1 seed. That can't be right, right? If BC wins the HE tourney and all the teams currently ahead of them don't, that should mean they pass them, right?

BC is absolutely in contention for a 1 seed. Can't get #1 overall I believe, but that would only be relevant in terms of line changes against a higher 1 seed in the FF were that to happen. If they make the 1 line they're staying east for sure.

Jim Dahl has them with a 1 seed in 70% of scenarios where they win the Hockey East tournament

Re: Boston University 2015-16 thread part 3 - The Postseason
They can get a #1 seed if they win the HE tournament fairly easily but my point is they are better off with a healthy,rested White and as a 2 seed somewhere then a banged up White who just went through a physical game with PC or Lowell. I'm not saying BU would rather not be playing this weekend. Of course they would but there are positives to both positions as Providence proved last year and Yale two years ago

I don't know about this man. That's making a lot of assumptions that White is banged up currently and/or he would worsen by playing. This is a chance to lift a trophy in the Garden, you play through stuff. If he does have a rib injury as I think one rumor was put out there, then it's simply playing through pain and not a real problem that can get much worse by playing.
These guys will have about a week to rest anyway.
And a 1 seed could be fairly important as far as getting last change when you have guys like Santini and McCoshen that you may want to match up against a guy like Kevin Roy tomorrow night for instance. Generally BC has done pretty well as a 2 or 3 seed in the tournament too though.

Ah, this is probably what I saw, not that they couldn't get a #1 seed. That makes more sense.
If he has a chance to lift that trophy, with a bad rib, maybe he should just hold it/hug it. Just to be safe. And not injure it any further.

Unless a player is in significant danger of worsening his injury by playing or taking a hard hit, sitting him in a conference championship is a bad idea. Maybe skip him on a shift or two, but at this point in the year sitting guys out with aches and pains isn't a good idea. We don't know the extent of White's injury so we can't really assess that.

Geez, so college hoops is going the way of college football, with 85 bowl games so that everyone can say "hey we got to play in a bowl game".

Re: Boston University 2015-16 thread part 3 - The Postseason
Exactly right Mav. This is the season where you eliminate Nate teams and raise trophies.
So #1 it's practice.
But #2 only one team wins that big prize and for a program to accumulate a couple of the minor ones if they happen to not win it all, that is the stuff that maintains top level status year after year after year.

Seriously
Mookie follows Pitt and they won the CBI a couple years ago. We were like "wha?!?"
NIT has great history, but these others. Whatever

I sure hope Jerry knows what he's doing, especially this time of year.
Geezus bro, now you got me all worried (in my best Scarlet impersonation

So you want a 68 team hockey tourney?
Don't troll me.
I want more parity in bouncy ball, but more schools sponsoring D1 hockey
