- Bench Energy: On a scale of 1 to 10 with 10 being "**** 'em! This is Your Time" and 1 being "Rod Rust" They are at -1 right now.

you sit behind them, but DQ is a "tar baby sit and don't say nothin'" level of animation guy on the bench behind them. and when he does talk he pulls up the papers he is holding in his hand and covers his mouth as though bellicheat has a videorecorder trained upon him ;)

i'd swear he is just leaning back thinking, "i wonder if wannamoisett will be open by mid-march...."
 
Re: BU 2013-14 (Part II): Crash before the Phoenix

for those of you who have seen/read what happened last night between rpi and union...

i can remember seeing footage of melees between michigan and michigan state, handshake battles between minnesota and north dakota.

the chippiest i can remember bc-bu getting was at the end of that NCAA tourney game in worcester a few years back. and even that debacle doesn't compare to some of the stuff i've seen in these other rivalries. curious if any old timers can recall a bench clearing brawl, a scuffle in the handshake or coaches going at it, etc. i can't but i'm only 29.

i was sitting at a table after golf with a bunch of 70s old timers and they were telling stories of a fight with bc one time, but it had to do with a bu guy 'dating' a sister of one of the bc guys. (none of them were going out with the sister, but just teammates) ((and no carmine, this was not globe material :p so don't go calling your girlfriend mary!))

The one I remember bad recently was UND and Minnesota fighting during the handshake a few years back. That was all on video somewhere

UMinn - BU 1976 FF SF. All out brawl about 30 seconds into the game. Required about 20 minutes to restore order.

1990 NCAA QF's at MSU, first game of best of three. Parker confronted referee at center ice after game; ref couldn't get away from him. Seem to remember clip on YouTube.

NoDak and Bucky had a venomous rivalry back in early '80's. Wasn't there a brawl that required on-ice involvement of Madison police?

Former BC coach Mike Milbury went into stands at MSG, while with Bruins, and beat a guy over the head with his own shoe.

1989 NCAA QF's at Harvard. Harvard defeated Lake St. As the clock ran down the second night, I recall that a few Lakers gooned it up on Harvard.

I recall hearing of a brawl, in the Beanpot, back in the 1970's, between BU and Harvard. It happened during warm-ups. Apparently, one guy from each team was dating the same gal.

Not really a "brwal," but towards the end of the 2000 Beanpot final, Jeff Farkas and Pat Aufiero got into it, along with Brooks Orpik and Keith Emery. All four players were suspended for their teams next game. At the beginning of The Battle of Comm Ave, it shows Orpik really nailing Emery with a right cross.

Too bad we didn't have Shawn Thronton on the team. :rolleyes:

I'm shocked nobody mentioned the Brawl vs Maine in. 2004 that set the hockey east record for most penalty minutes
 
Re: BU 2013-14 (Part II): Crash before the Phoenix

There was also a big scuffle vs. Maine at Walter Brown in 1993. They show a little footage of it in Out of the Woods. Parker is irrate on the bench at one of the officials.
 
How could I have forgotten the pregame brawl BU had with NoDak prior to the first game of the 1990 NCAA QF series at WBA? The penalty boxes were jammed for the opening faceoff. Classic. In hindsight, these things seem to have followed JP around.

Orpik may be the toughest guy in HE history. Any other candidates? I'm surprised to read that Farkas was involved in any type of physical confrontation.
 
Merrimack and BU brawled in the 90s at the end of the second period -- as the horn blew… some old timers might remember this.
I think that game was the first round of the HE tournament in 1991. On a personal note, when I walked into my house after that game, I discovered it had been broken into.
