BU 2013-2014 (Part III): Close your eyes, we're coming up on the end here...

BU-BC can't happen in the semis. I just saw the bracket. Odd tournament.

Actually it can, merrimack or umass would have to win their play in game and bu would just need to get to the garden and be the highest seed

Well, duh we added them to get all these extra eyeballs on the tv. Of course, the extra 9 sets of eyeballs that ND brought in to last night's game fell asleep in the first period and won't be watching any more of these games. Good addition to the league!!

For a moment I thought I was watching UVM circa 5 years ago.

What did you expect from Jeff Jackson, the Claude Julien of college hockey? Mr. "I want to win every game 1-0 with my 'goal prevention, along the wall' style." Remember him from Lake Superior State years ago? It was about the most boring style I have ever seen...even worse than the center ice trap.

Sure. But it worked very well yesterday, no?

Well, I never said it didn't work. But it's as exciting as watching ice melt...

I find it interesting that 5 of the 8 goals scored by BU were by disciplined players. Mission accomplished?

When was the last time BU went two straight years with a freshman leading the team in scoring? Baillargeon has a good shot at being the second in a row after O'Regan last year. He has a 2 point lead over Ahti and a 3 point lead over his line-mate O'Regan.

Except for the 9 goal out burst against BU in the NC game

Jeff Jackson makes Claude Julien look like Glen Sather from his Oiler days...

i put this up in the game blog last night... DQ at his opening greet in the club room mentioned how you have to expect players you recruit to not stay all four years, but this showcases how you 1) have to prepare for this and over-recruit & 2) develop the peeps that stay.

nieto--o'regan--coyle

gill--baillargeon--roberto

rodgriguez--hohmann--cisse

lane--moran--privitera


clendening/grzelcyk

oksanen/noonan

privitera/somerby

I wonder who Parker meant when he said that "we got surprised by some kids leaving early"? When he said some left late I assume he meant Gill and Priv x 2. I wonder if they figured Nieto to be a 4 year player.

nieto finished up very strong, but with the start he had it's not like he had a great year stat wise. 18-19--37 in 39 games. but with his year so far in SJ i can't say he made a bad decision. he's had a great rookie year as a kid who turned 21 in november (he could be an incoming freshman on some other HEA teams )

You know, as soon as I clicked "Post Quick Replay" I KNEW someone was going to bring that up! But IIRC, didn't we hit the crossbar in the first minute? That just seemed to deflate them and it was all downhill from there...

Re: BU 2013-2014 (Part III): Close your eyes, we're coming up on the end here...

what was nieto, 2nd round pick? don't think you can ever "expect" a 2nd round pick to stay four years. sure it happens but if you as a coach bank on that, you can get in trouble. hence mookie talking about the need for over recruiting. and you just worry about the log jam if one develops. not ideal, i don't like it but i've come to accept it.

Yes, we came VERY close to scoring in the opening minute. At the hotel after the game, some of the Laker fans told me they were very concerned early on in the game because of the crossbar and some early pressure.

He specifically said Nieto and Gill in the NESN spot with Dale Arnold . Saying Nieto was a surprise was a lie .
