It's disturbing that Lawrence who has been with team for 3 years (playing regularly only as a freshman) is not allowed to continue on team
Without knowing details or anything behind the scenes it appears not to be a good decision

I would agree with this. If he was going to cut Lawrence, why not do it this time last year? At this point last offseason, he didn't know Piccinich, Letunov, and Greer wouldn't be on the roster so depth wasn't an issue. Lawrence slogged through the awful 13-14 year and fulfilled (presumably) the requirements of the team for three years. He's not taking any scholarship money, so why not let him graduate and continue to be on the roster effectively as a walk-on. It would seem to be either Lawrence did something to break a rule or Quinn just decided to do it. If it's the latter, that's pretty cold-hearted.

We can give out 30+ numbers

With locker room space at a premium and a lifetime supply of hair gel needing to be stored somewhere, you can begin to understand why Quinn did this.

Just because I like to get ahead of myself, can I pencil in the following point totals for Keller and Bellows next year?
Keller (65-70)
Bellows (55-60)
 
Re: Boston University 2015-16 thread part 3 - The Postseason

mookie'd be ok with 65g and 70a for either.

I would like to know more about the Lawrence and Udahl situations. After the tough 13-14 year, I thought Lawrence would be one of the first ones to go, but he stuck around. As far as Udahl, a little odd that he doesn't even get to play in one game for BU. Has to be a bitter pill after all the excitement of joining the team. On the other hand, he knew he was coming in due to a shortage of bodies, and I have no idea what sort of commitment was made to him. Since he didn't even dress, I would think he would be able to get a waiver for transferring (no sitting out a season).

They look like good players, but that seems like a little much. I'd be happy with 45 points each after the conference playoffs are done (maybe 38-40 for Bellows since he likely won't have as many). They certainly could be good for more, but you never know.

And on that subject...can't believe NHL Network is showing "NHL Tonight" instead of the championship game. I sat and watched FIVE USA games, and just because they didn't make the final we don't see anything else??? Not even the 3rd place game? They could have shown that in the same time slot instead of the championship game if their "argument" is that the US wasn't in the championship game. So let's not hear how the USA is "growing" in hockey and give me any flak when I say that hockey is Canada's game (as I have maintained often here). We don't even come close to the type of enthusiasm and hockey culture that they have.

I'm not really sure what your issue is. They televised the 3rd place game live at 4 o'clock today

The guide didn't show it being on...when I switched over it wasn't - but perhaps it started a couple of minutes late. But my main point was this: Apparently the championship game is going to be shown this morning on tape delay? Well, what good does that do me? I can't watch because of work and I already know the result now. What I don't understand is that the time slot (Sunday, 8 p.m.) was already allocated for that game. Why did they elect to move it to tape delay? They never changed THAT in the guide, either (and, by the way, the DirecTV guide - I'm talking about the one on the screen - is the most up to date and accurate one I have seen, and I have seen a number of cable systems - so when I switched and it wasn't on and then it wasn't in the guide, either, I just turned it off and did other things, assuming that the guide was accurate, as it usually is).

It's not the end of the world, I just don't understand why they made the decision.

I feel like something odd happened. I had set my DVR for a series recording since I was out of town from Thursday - Sunday (I was able to schedule the quarterfinal since the time for that one was known at that point. I was hoping I would come home to find the semis and consolation game recorded, but neither were. Then when I looked this morning, it listed that it had recorded the consolation game (it said USA vs. Canada). Then when I went through all three hours of the recording, it was the NHL recap show on 5 times.
