As much as it pains me to agree with you: :) Nailed it. Last night's NC football game was 4.5 hours long. Insanity.

The number of replays in a game (last night was insane) is far different from assessing a penalty after the game for a dangerous play that went uncalled. It's not like they're going back and giving Kelley two minutes for a missed hooking call that in the grand scheme of things is meaningless. The hit he put on the UMass guy was dangerous and is the type the NCAA is trying to legislate out of the game for legitimate player safety reasons. Assessing a one-game suspension after the fact for player safety, I'm fine with that. Officials make mistakes and it's part of the game, but when there's the opportunity to correct that mistake to help get rid of dangerous play, it should be done. If the league explicitly doesn't step in in these cases, the players begin to know that when the officials aren't looking, anything goes and that's not a good precedent.

More Hockey in Atlanta would be appreciated. All I have now is the Gwinnett Gladiators, me and the 4 other hockey fans in the department are making at least one trip in the next month.

And get to see Cason Hohmann and Mike Moran from you guys

During my second stint in ATL, we went to a couple Gladiator games. Saw Chris Higgins and Jason Lawrence play. Higgins dominated one of the games.

Is Charlie McAvoy, who also has a -1 +/- rating, a bad defenseman?

Charlie has work to do defensively but is a physical specimen and adds to the offense...probably wouldn't be a -1 with a different partner ..believe he was something like a +17 last year with Grizz...thanks for making my point

+/- by itself is not always an indicator of play...when used in comparison to the rest of the team it is a pretty good barometer ...you see it's good to score more than the other team ..that's why they keep score..it's not good to be a minus on a team that wins all the time and only add 3 secondary assists on the PP...but you know better super smart hockey guy..because you say so

A supposed BU supporter taking on fans and a freshman player. Right. Nice try. Go back to the comments section of the Freep (which is, I believe, where we saw you last).
P.S. Sorry to the rest of you if this post came up twice. It did not seem to register the first time.

Hey! Welcome back! You haven't posted here in forever.

And yeah, n00b is a bit troubling. He's no Jofa, though! 😀

So here is a question for season ticket holders....

It is great that they give us an opportunity to post tickets that we can't use on the ticket exchange, but, where does one go if they want to buy tickets off of the exchange? The only way I can find a link to see what is for sale is through the Agganis website after I log into my account. So if someone is not a season ticket holder, how do you access those tickets? I can't find a link anywhere to get to that.

Actually, he was +10, but don't worry yourself; +10, +17, whats the difference, right? After all, looking up the stats is so very difficult. :rolleyes: By the way, after BU played 19 games last year McAvoy was a -2.

Took a quick look and looks like you can just click on the "Click here to purchase premium tickets from season ticket holders." link at the login page.

logged in and looked at the exchange and it's the same page/tickets/seats/etc

I kinda like Krys. He's not awesome; I think he will be a three-year player and he has definitely made a few mistakes here and there, but he's not incompetent. As a group, I think the defensemen have been pretty poor in their own end all season. He's certainly no worse than anyone else. Not sure why he is being singled out here?

Interesting, so you have to go to the login page to access it.... they sure don't promote the ticket exchange very well! (I guess they want to sell other unsold tickets first). Would be nice if they made it easier to find!

There used to be a tab on the Agganis/Ticketmaster page when you went to order single game tickets (same screen as the seating bowl map.) At some point in the last few years that tab was removed. Probably as you surmise they don't want the competition. I used it when I lived in Vermont from 07-10 and the tickets I put on there didn't sell often. I would say it is virtually useless in its current form.

I have to keep up with the players that got my team's coach a WJC gold medal.
