I realize you probably weren't legitimately asking what happened to him but it appears he is in the ECHL with the Toledo Walleye
Apparently a Walleye is a fish because I had to look that up too once I saw the team name. 15 assists in 47 games, -13 +/- isn't exactly lighting it up though

Yeah, he's in Toledo. I saw him play during the New Years' Eve game in my home town of Ft. Wayne (go Komets!) and he was rather unremarkable. It was fun to cheer against him.

And walleye are good lake fish for eatin.

Peaking in Nov is so UNH.

Remember when BU used to peak right around the 2nd Monday in February before nosediving? It's not the same without a proper GroundDog Day and the March hanger-ons that found the 1 permutation of results out of 6 million possibilities that would get BU in the NCAAs.

You laugh (:D)
But a slow day at work had Mookie going through spreadsheets and I found one from last season that I does and updated pwr based on outcomes. If Merrimack had won one more game dying the yr bu was in ;) :p

The BC guys love to say that and it has absolutely no basis in fact. I have followed BU since 1971 and if anything they have been slow starters who come on strong at Beanpot time and finish the reg season strong certainly was the case up through the mid 2000s . Total fallacy by BC fans like Mav and Westy St whos history go way back to the 2000 season . And as everyone knows I never pass up a chance to slam this program

These seasons all saw a drop in win % after a victory on the 2nd Monday in February with the exception of 1 season, the one season they grabbed postseason hardware (hooray we peaked in March!). Combined record after the BP vs teams over .500 of these BU teams listed: 19-24-7.

As I said your history goes back to 2000 talk about a newbie ! See you had another busy day at work today? Teller window slow ? Oh no sorry that's your buddy . Actually I don't see any post Beanpot "nosedives" except from the already awful 99 team. 600 winning pct isn't a nosedive. Psst "we already knew there werent any trophies" . So just to be clear to all, the "successful" BC grad spent his day looking at every BU score over 7 seasons and the record of their opponents that they were playing . Bravo Mav!

Right because I really was going to post about my recollections of BU before I was born.

Yep.... "Absolutely no basis in fact" on my assertions as you can see from above. BU just ran right through February and March "up through the mid 2000s". Never mind they basically did the opposite in almost every season from 1999-2007 (the two seasons missing were the ones in which they didn't win the BP and were out of the scope of this discussion). Maybe you just repressed all those bad seasons. I wouldn't blame you if that was the case.

It's just so difficult to copy and paste things into a spreadsheet and write a formula to get this info. What? You're old and don't know what a spreadsheet is? Oh ok. Good luck tomorrow at work with your abacus.

Did anyone else hear about nine BU guys suspended tonight for violating curfew? (Not a joke)
