One final point - the calendar works the same for every team in college hockey. It is also November for the 34 teams that don't seem to be having the same issues that BU is. Those teams also have freshmen. Some of them even have more freshmen than we do! Another common thread binding those teams is that their players are also less talented than ours are. So what is the deal? At this point, it seems to be that their coaches are better.

Define 'less talented'.
I'll take our frosh against the world all day long. ;) :cool:

Fabbro makes the Canadian junior group- think their tryouts start before the Yale game
Of the 32 players selected only 2 play college hockey

And Hickey was the only NCAA player on Team Canada last year (that was last year, right?). So a nice feather in Quinn and Co.s hat.

Of course, Fabbro hasn't made the team yet.

Feels like BU hasn't played in forever. Big games this weekend. Who will be in goal???

Oettinger - betting Quinn wants a big win and the frosh has gotten enough rest. Time to suck it up (nerves) and put on the big boy pants against a Providence team we're still seeking revenge against.

Go Terriers!

We've played 12 games. BC has played 17. Most HE teams are in the 14-15 game range.

I'm glad the slow time came after Keller went out. Has anyone heard any update on him other than the very generic comment that he is doing better than expected (or something along those lines)?

The latest Terriers All Access is excellent. Love the Greenway piece at the end. He really takes some abuse, but gotta love his physicality. I also like the Hickey piece. Also fun to see some old clips of Hynes scoring a couple goals.

Based on no inside info, I wouldn't expect to see Keller before Christmas break.

They didn't seem to give us much notice that it was airing. Unless I missed a few tweets. I didn't see the tweet promoting it till after it was over. I'll watch on YouTube.

Hey, is it true that Providence plans to honor Matt O'Connor before the game tonight? :confused: ;)

Bigger question is whether he can play in world junior tourney which starts right after Christmas
Would they put him on roster without going thru training camp in days before
Roster should be announced early next week

Ouch.

I would really like to see the team string together a couple wins this weekend. The Harvard win was a quality W, hopefully they can get some momentum.

Eichel on pace for a season equivalent of 123 goals this year. Gretzky is lucky he was injured. :D:D

Greenway is a healthy scratch for "disciplinary reasons." Will be back tomorrow. Very short on top 6 forwards.

No...looks like they have their own production. If a school is part of the "Campus Insiders" then it is free - otherwise you have to "subscribe" to their service. :(

But, the good news is, we can always listen to Bernie!
