yeah yeah, i caught most of it in passing. i'm not going to re read every sentence of that internet slapfight. but i assume the context was in comparing two players with similar stat lines.

however, to answer the poster's question about the nhl draft. each particular draft year mentioned was the first year the players you mentioned were eligible in. so a better question to ask would be, what spot would tavares or hall have been taken in if they were eligible for the draft one year earlier? two years?

2 more goals for Chaisson today. That's three goals in three NHL games. Nice start for him.

Good for him, but Niemi looked ridiculous on the second goal.
 
Re: Boston University season thread 4: Where BC comes to talk hockey

No one cares how the goalie looked. I didnt see Jagr trying to have them take his goal back. At that level, any goal is a good one

Why stop there? How about studying up on BU's 2010 to 2013 Hockey Strategy video, you know, the one entitled, "How to win absolutely nothing while your archival wins 2 National Titles, 3 HE Titles and 4 Beanpots".

WOW.. Our archives won all that?? Pretty good for filing cabinets and paper..

No matter how you slice it, Cangelosi is the better player, as he has more goals, assists, points and a MUCH better plus/minus AND he's almost a year younger!

Just curious, have you ever watched hockey? Or do you just stat-surf?

Needs to complete his responsibilities with the Avalanche, no?

Correct. April 27th is his last game with Colorado and he will take over the coaching staff immediately after.

I haven't looked at the standings, recently. No chance the 'Lanche go to the playoffs?

Oh, I figured when he accepted a new job he would finish with the Avs right away and they'd backfill with a minor league guy or something. I'm missing something here...if he had gotten a head coaching job in the NHL when somebody got fired he wouldn't have finished out the year with the Avs (obviously)...why would he do that with a college job, and why would they want him to? Isn't a clean, immediate break the best way? Especially if they aren't playoff bound.

I understand the Charlie Weis staying with the Pats through the SB thing...but hockey assistant coaches getting new jobs mid-year isn't something recent...is it always a "finish the year with the old club" protocol?

Well they are last in the West. 9 games to go, 12 points and 7 teams out of the 8th seed.

I don't know exactly why. I could speculate it was out of respect/appreciation/whatever-you-want-to-call-it to Sacco for giving him the opportunity, but that would be simply speculation. However, if you were to pick an unimportant month to be a college hockey head coach the one immediately after the team is eliminated is up there. Signing period starts 4/18, but the class is already wrapped up (unless any Maine or DU kids want to join ;) ). Assistants, Boyle, and Jack are still around for the players' workouts, and Quinn has spoken to the team as a whole already, and communicates via phone with Boston as frequently as you would expect. 17 days til he is in his Boston office full time.

Yeah, no implication it will hurt anything, just thinking I'd want to get started day 1...regardless. But, based on the DU speculation etc. maybe BU got permission to talk and make an offer contingent on Quinn not leaving CO short a coach.

Colorado has a contract with him and I guess could have made it more complicated if Quinn/BU wanted him to leave immediately.

I read in the Globe on Sunday that the annual wrestling budget was about $170k. Not sure if that is true but if it is, it is pretty sad that we are cutting it.

I completely understand not having football, as expensive as it is. Hard to believe the school is better off killing something like wrestling to save what amounts to a rounding error in the budget
