Just conjecture, but O'Connor is an older sophomore, turning 22 early in 2014. While undrafted, he attended Blackhawks development camp and impressed them. So, Starrett may be insurance against an early departure.

Perhaps, but even still, goalies leaving early to go pro is very rare compared to skaters. My guess is it'd be more insurance against one of the two leaving the program to get more PT elsewhere.

This, and as I mentioned, I'm sure they would like to get into the pattern of bringing a goallie in every 2 years, instead of having to bring in 2 every 4 years.

if anyone should though, it should be them. sean fields certainly costs himself some $$$ coming back for his sr season.

How much? He had a .911 save percentage as a junior. That's nothing special.

he had a great run at the end and there was interest. that team was not very strong and he was the only reason they won games.

he came back, and the team was super poopy. think he ended up playing 3 games in the echl and that was it.

I just looked up Fields in Wikipedia. Catch these gems...

Prior to turning professional, Fields attended Boston University. Playing four seasons with the Boston University Terriers men's ice hockey team (2000–04), Fields set, and still holds, the Hockey East record as the goaltender with the best career save percentage of 90.5%. Fields also holds the Boston Terriers record for most career shutouts with 62, a mark he set in 2004. In October 2011, goaltender Kieran Millan tied that all-time Terriers record.[1]

So then, since 2001, BU has had two goalies who have pitched 62 shutouts each. Yet, BU has only one NC during this period, and only participated in one FF. What the hell was Parker doing?

i can't even tell if you're kidding or not, but something tells me those stats aren't accurate...

Want to look it up for us?

Although I agree... It would not seem like BU averaged 15 shutouts a year for 8 different years in that timeframe.

No mention of Karson Gillespie's 50 shutouts? :rolleyes:

For the record, Jack Ferreira and John Curry are the BU career leaders with 13 each. Oddly enough, both did it in just three seasons. When Ferreira played there was no freshman eligibility. Curry saw just five minutes of action as a freshman. Millan had 8, Fields 7.
 
Re: BU 2013-2014: Ready to Quinn

Fields was a good goalie, who saw a lot of playing time over his four years. But there have been many strong goalies for BU, even over the past 20 years, at least a few of which I would put over Fields, and not just because of stats.

If I stretch it to 25 years, here are the candidates, IMHO:

Cashman
McKersie
Herlofsky
Larocque
Fields
Curry
Millan

For all the hype around DiPietro, he played one year, including splitting time with Jason Tapp (!) for the first half of the season. And his stats weren't that great. Noble helped us win a title, but I don't think he belongs in the group.

Some tough calls here, but here are my thoughts:

5. JP McKersie / Derek Herlofsky - I am copping out and putting them together. Both came in from out west the same season (McKersie from Wisconsin, Herlofsky from Minnesota). One year, one made second team All-HE while the other was 2nd team All-American. That is how hard it was to pick between them. I think McKersie was on his way to being the better goalie when he had his career ending (for practical purposes, I know he did make a comeback) bike accident.
4. Sean Fields - strong career, I think he held most of the records for wins, saves, etc. before Millan, or maybe Curry took them first. Had some great games.
3. Kieran Millan - while he never quite matched his gaudy freshman numbers (including a record of 29-2!), and had a poor Sophomore season, he was the rock for the team for 4 years. And winning an NCAA title doesn't hurt.
2. Michel Larocque - helped lead the team to the '97 title game. Stole at least one Beanpot for us. Just a very skilled goalie who helped us win a lot of games
1. John Curry - HE POY as a senior after finishing second both of the years prior. Improved as his career went on. A bright light on some offensively weak teams. He knew if he gave up more than 2 goals, our chances of winning were very slim. The fact that he was a recruited walk-on makes the story even a little better.

Tough to leave Scott Cashman off given how he rescued us from the lean years (Bryan LaFort anyone?) that preceded him (though John Bradley came on strong as as Senior). HE Rookie of the year over teammate Tony Amonte. Only three time winner of the Eberly trophy (or at least was at one point), even though one was sort of by default since there were no other goalies that played in both games that year. Had a vision issue that dogged him in his later seasons. And tragically, died a few years ago. If I wasn't so tired of typing, I might move him up from defacto 6th - he was, after all, the goalie that kept Michigan State at bay in that magical 1989-90 playoff run.

What....no Cleon Daskalakis???

I know Rogie mentioned this up thread, but Saturday afternoon, the team spent a few hours outside in Central Park having a practice/clinic with Ice Hockey In Harlem. I just think it was a pretty cool thing that they did the day of a big game. Sounds like the kids enjoyed it, and Mike Eruzione was there as well.
