Pardon my pettiness. We never regained the lead in that game once NMU came back from being down 3-0 to make it 6-3. Tomlinson made it 6-4, then NMU went up 7-4. Then we had the three goals over the last 7 or so minutes (Amonte, McEachern, Sacco) to tie it up. And then of course, we came SO close to what would have been perhaps even more incredible than 2009, if Amonte had been able to beat Billy Pye in the closing seconds of regulation. That would have been 4 goals in 7 minutes, including 2 in the last 39 seconds to tie and then win the game. Alas...

Look for rugged winger Alex Brink, who will graduate from Brown this spring, to play another season at Boston University as a grad student

Had his most productive year with 6 goals and 8 assists this year
Not something to get excited about- We failed with out Brown transfer this year

Yeah doesn't sound like an impact guy, scoring-wise. But we are all here saying we need older players, maybe this guy brings maturity and leadership that the team will need next season.

Also a different scenario than Willman - who came to BU coming off the year he missed at Brown. Brink missed his sophomore year and has played two in a row since.
 
Re: Boston University 2018-2019 - Still Alive!

This Harvard goalie Lackey has a year of eligibility left if he were to graduate this year, he's having an excellent game against UMass - might be a good option to pursue as a grad transfer?

Absolutely zero risk in adding Brink to next season's roster. Sure BU needs scoring, but also maturity/leadership plus size/physicality. If Brink makes a positive impact in the latter areas and strengthens the bottom-6 F corps, that's all one should realistically expect.

Lackey sat out the 2016-17 season. Prior to this season he only played 16 games his first 2 seasons before playing 25 this season to date. USNTDP alum; split duties there with ex-Wisconsin recruit Luke Opilka.

Not to mention when I read rugged I think of a guy who will play a physical game, something many here mentioned over and over during the season. Looking at his Brown bio they state he is 6’0”, 200 pounds. If he does bring maturity and leadership along with his size and experience I think he can help a lot next season.

I plan on watching some Regional action today. And it will make me sad that it will be years before the Terriers are back on the big stage. It was a nice run with three painful and excruciating near misses.

During the nice run you just mentioned BU missed the NCAAs in 4 out of 5 years (2010, '11, '13, '14) as well as in 1999, 20001 and 2004. Just how many years do you expect BU to now miss the NCCAs?

In CHN's most recent article on BU, it mentions Fabbro and Krys will graduate this summer in addition to Jake. Pretty good look for the program to have this many top players stay through graduation and do so early.

RW with size. 14 points for Brown last season.

I liked what Albie had to say in this article. Can’t say why but my gut is telling me this program is going to be fine. While it was a down year it could have been much worse.

They should include Juniors in Senior night moving forward.

Regarding the Brown kid, 6 goals from a 4th liner!? Bestill my heart. Sign me up!

St. Cloud.... Wow, I can’t even.
 
Re: Boston University 2018-2019 - Still Alive!

AIC is still playing, BU is not. Besides ease of schedule, is there one single advantage AIC has over BU in being good at hockey? How many AIC players would be invited to play at BU? How many BU players would be invited to play at AIC?

Excrutiating! 2015 was bad, but it was sort of like Buckner in '86. The "gaffe" didn't cost them the game. What subsequently followed did. Not covering the wing on the face-off lost the game. It was a bad play, but after the momentum shift you could just see it coming. But 1991 was like a knife through the heart.

Result aside, it ranks as one the most exciting games that I have attended.

My point is, you get what you pay for. Uvm and Umaine are most likely the lowest paid coaches in the league. He has a job still because it is good enough for the university. Same as with Maine. It isn’t rocket science.

If UVM is satisfied with poor results and boring hockey, perhaps they should consider dropping to DIII. And losing to Norwich.
I doubt that is the case. They could do much better than the past several seasons.
