An interesting, but not terrible, show. That brings me to a question: With Quinn, is the team going out in numerical order (a la Parker)?

I would say Newbury Street, Quincy Market, the North End, and Harvard Square are all cool areas to see with food/shops/bars. Fenway is cool, but there's not a lot going on there right now (though I think they may do tours of Fenway in the offseason). Of course on the more educational side you've got the freedom trail too. There are also brewery tours at Harpoon and Sam Adams. Depends what you're looking to do.




I think the Sam Adams brewery is a little overrated. I guess it's got a little more Boston feel and everything, but the Harpoon Brewery is bigger and they've got that beer hall now (and it's closer to downtown).

Outside the city if you take the red line to Quincy Center, you can get a tour of the Quincy Homestead, the church where the Presidents are buried, the old cemetery across from the church, the Adams Library and house, etc. The city of Presidents ))

"Interesting, but not terrible?" What does that even mean?

Yes, still numerical out of locker room and for lineups/anthem.

Excellent advice. And pro, tell him when he visits New York City, be sure to check out Fordham. Beautiful. Right up there with the Empire State Building and the Statue of Liberty. Close, too.

:p

Did I notice that we seem to have gone back entering without helmets? It seems like we had abandoned that a couple of years ago?

Speaking of helmets, it appears the terrier paws on the back of the hats have become a thing of the past.

You mean the one that's all fenced in to make it look like a state penitentiary? Is that to keep the Boston lunatics out or to keep the drunken BC students in?

Not bad at all. Any thoughts as to what "swing your a**" means?

Just saw on Twitter that Adrian Aucoin retired. Do any of you recall his first goal as a Terrier and the celebration that followed that made Parker pull him into the tunnel for a chat? It was pretty awesome.

I came on here to type the exact same post. Do you remember the opponent and final score?

I was wondering the same thing. It was number 2 after "Communication", right?

A couple of comments by Noonan speak to what I (and others) have been saying about motivation for the past few years. The first about being paranoid of taking a penalty, and the second when he tells Pereira that Quinn is "the man".

12-20-91 vs. Dartmouth, 9-2 BU. Other goal-scorers were Koskimaki 2, Thornton, Pomichter, Prendergast, Mark Bavis and Vachon.

First of all, the narrator (I'm not sure who it is... was sort of expecting Bernie) threw me through a loop. Second, the script sounded less like a "following the season" documentary, like a Hard Knocks, but more like a season retrospective that's being filmed in real time. That's the negative. The positive is that I like how they went into it. It sounds as if they're not going to whitewash the season, which I think is a good way to go. We're all realists here. If they stink, we'll know it.

Sometimes penalties just happen though and are not a direct result of stupidity/laziness. They can be a result of being aggressive. Other times, you can take a "good" penalty if it negates a prime scoring chance for the opponent, etc. Sure, there's certainly a fine line, but you don't want to be so scared of taking a penalty that it makes you play timid on the ice.

Sounds like Noonan loves Quinn so far or perhaps he knew he was being recorded ;) Wonder what his answer would have been if asked about Parker...

Speaking of Parker, does he attend all the games?

Always like coverage like this, regardless of the team. I remember Gary Thorne did one for Maine back in the Walsh era and there was one for BC following the national title in 2001.

I've only seen him once, home opener I believe, but I haven't exactly been looking. He was show on the jumbotron with his grandkids that game though and hasn't been featured since, I imagine if he has been to many games since then they would have put him on at least once more.
