Not sure whether this has been discussed or not, but does anyone know the status of Tom Ryan? He's a terrific analyst and his absence takes away from the broadcast for me, especially since they use that broadcast during the stream.

Both Stevens brothers have been out with injury. John looks to be back this weekend but Nolan was injured in practice and needed surgery to fix it. He'll be out for a while. Grant Jozefek was also injured, he against Bentley, and came back on Sunday.
Agree with the NU poster before me, y'all should be able to sweep the weekend, but weird things can happen. Should be fun, always two good crowds.

Not all posters were going around thumping their chests, but the sobering reality of losing a top player and getting subpar goaltending against the weaker part of the schedule will definitely put a damper on the fanbase's enthusiasm
The pre-season bravado that the Northeastern posters had seems to have vanished quickly!

Jake Oettinger gets Goaltender of the Month by Hockey East.
Bit of a hard luck snub for Patrick Harper in the Rookie department.
Rookie of the Month to Patrick Grasso (a 20 yr old) from UNH and runner-up to Joe Woll of BC.
Interesting that Oettinger gets Goaltender of the Month, but Woll beats him on honorable mention for ROM. Hockey East tends to do this type of thing often. Guess they want to spread the honors out a bit.

Why is it a snub? Two of the games where he scored eleventy million goals were exhibitions. If the goals don't count, then they shouldn't be considered in voting. He's played well but hasn't produced as much as he did in those games.

It is tough to get all worked up against a program that puts up a banner ever 30 years, or so. Especially when it becomes the home for so many of the players that we cut.

Gretzky didn't produce as much as Harper did in those two games. A 2-6-8 line in five games, three against top-5 opposition, is still darn good.

He had 1.6 PPG in real games. I would think that would put him in the discussion or is that not that great anymore?
And I said hard luck, didn't say the person who won is not deserving.

I would think Keller had more of an impact than Harper in those games.

The season is barely underway, but I noticed after the Quinnipiac game that freshmen had scored 9 and sophomores had scored 7 of BU's 20 goals after five games. That got me thinking about classing scoring so I spent some time over the last week and a half. So far the underclassmen have scored 80% of BU's goals, the highest percentage for a single season and ahead of 1925-26's 77.4% and 2013-14's 76.5%. The freshmen goal percentage of 45% is also the highest for a single season, ahead of 1991-92's 42.8% (the 1991-92 freshmen also scored the most goals by a freshmen class, 68). The sophomore goal percentage of 35% is only good for 29th all time, far behind 1925-26's 74.2%, but still 4th best over the last 20 seasons.
I also added up all goals scored by each class over their four seasons. Last season's seniors scored 197 goals, good for 17th all-time and the highest total since the 1997-98 senior class totaled 221 goals over their four seasons. Does anyone want to guess what senior class scored the most goals over their four season careers? Bonus question: What senior class scored the most goals over their three season careers (and has the highest goals per season average)?

This season's freshmen class has already insured that they will not be the least productive class since 1924-25 as they have already scored 9 goals. Can they keep up their scoring pace for the rest of the season? They are currently scoring an average of 1.8 goals/game, good for the third highest average for a freshmen class (behind only the 1924-25 freshmen's 2.25 goals/games and the 1991-92 freshmen's 1.94 goals/game) and over double the freshmen average of 0.87 goals/game. So, is this freshmen class as good, or better, than the 1991-92 freshmen class?
Also, I should have included the 1924-25 season stats in my last post. When I double checked I saw that I have the class information for all the goal scorers that season. The 1924-25 class was actually the top freshmen class for percentage of goals scored, with an astonishing 79.4% of all goals scored that season.

Since Oettinger has played every game, this is not exactly a shocker.
Poor Nik Olsson can't stay healthy.
