Boston University 2019-2020

Can anyone who saw/was at the game comment on the new goalie? He obviously didn’t see a lot of shots but any first impressions would be appreciated.

Also it appears that Tucker did not dress? Safe to assume there is nothing to read into this? Just giving him rest and the new guy and a backup a chance to play in a meaningless game?

I thought he looked great. But someone needs to tell him and the other new guy about how the team lines up in numerical order on the blue line for the anthem. :)

Many did not dress - Harper, Curry, Crotty, Farrance. And Tucker, too. Nothing to read into this.

Purpura was dressed but Nico Lynch came in to play the third and was awesome.

Zegras is an assist machine at the World Juniors, they’ve added two shiny new players, and Cockerill is coming back (right?)... I can be talked into being optimistic about the second half. :)

Haven't heard anything recently on Logan but I remember hearing when he got hurt the thought was he'd be back at some point in January.

Hearing the same, hopefully by the time HE games resume

just some fantastic passes & passing. looks like he is having fun doing it, which in turn makes it look that much better.
 
Re: Boston University 2019-2020

We had an away game against the U18 team? That generated a lot of pre game buzz ...rolleyes

I don’t ever remember that as anything but a home game... is this a first?
 
Re: Boston University 2019-2020

The scheduling issues need to be addressed.
Brown at BU Wednesday
Only 2 home games in January
No games in past two years against either Big Ten or NCHC

Which will have smaller crowd- Bentley at NU tonight or BU game Wednesday

It is a first, NTDP recently purchased their own rink, and this year started hosting college teams in exchange for multiple return visits to the college.

BU, UW, ND, and UND, among others, all visited the NTDP this year. My understanding is the colleges that play the U18 team will now play one game in Plymouth every 5 years or so, and the rest at home.
 
Re: Boston University 2019-2020

BU seems to have good luck with Scandinavian mid-year Christmas break debuts. (Tommi Degermann had 2g and 2a in his first game, a win over UNH if memory serves.) :D

In all seriousness, Skoog looked very good. For someone coming from the NAHL, he is better than I expected. Strong on the puck, physical game with some skill.

I was hoping for more than an OT win against a weak opponent. But I'll take it.

And, oh, that Zegras between the legs pass to Harper breaking for the net would have been a Sportscaster Top 10 for sure if Harper had scored.
 
Re: Boston University 2019-2020

Judging only from the box score, that one seemed like more of a struggle than it perhaps should have been. That does make it 3 in a row though....

Attendance woes continue although the Wednesday night game didn’t help that at all I’m sure.

And how do you want to address the scheduling issues? No weekday games? More games in January? BU can't get B1G or NCHC teams every season.

NU had the smaller crowd.
