Everything I read keeps labeling BU as the favorite. Anyone that is paying attention knows otherwise (I know, I know, it's the Beanpot, so BU should be favored). Harvard is unbeaten in 8 games, has the best winning % in the country, and is now actually ranked ahead of BU. The Terriers meanwhile, have stumbled losing 3 out of 4.

I'm hoping for a competitive game, and hoping our edge in net gets us the trophy.

I didn't say anything about BU being the favorite or the underdog. I was simply congratulating the BU fans in advance of their Beanpot victory. Will this be #31 now?

Asking seriously, do you have knowledge of Quinn actually getting calls from GMs and making lineup decisions based on it? Did he get any for Greer? Kurker? I know that college coaches do have interaction with NHL GMs that have drafted the players, but I think it is a whole different issue to let the dictate the lineup.

My personal opinion is that even if he does get strong "requests" from the GM's, if Quinn felt Switzer and or Diffley really should be in there, they would at least be playing some games. No GM is going to care if their draft pick doesn't play both games of a series against Merrimack.

Answering seriously ...yes I know for a fact. ..it is well known in NHL circles what the set up is at BU. Do you really believe if Diffley or Switzer replaced one of the top 6 on a regular basis that there would be no repercussions from their NHL team? There are also trades being discussed for some of BU's D...you think they are going to sit with that going on?

And for the record while some on here are being fooled by phantom torchings and lucky bounces..the NHL scouts are not..and guess what they watch practice too

Pulled from the Recruit Thread. 3 outta 4 ain't bad...

Kieffer Bellows, LW, 6-0/195, Edina, Minn. (Boston University) - He's not the fastest player, but he keeps up and he knows where to go to find the puck to get off shots. He also has a quick and strong stick that allows him to get shots off in traffic. His release is incredibly quick and he has a heavy shot. He scored twice by driving the net and letting line mate and fellow BU recruit Clayton Keller find him. He took a slap shot in the third period that went high and wide, but it took off so fast from his stick, it was hard to believe.

Clayton Keller, LC, 5-10/168, Swansea, Ill. (Boston University) - He's a smooth skater with incredible vision and soft hands that allow him to be such a terrific set up guy. On all three goals Keller assisted on, he smoothly carried the puck deep into the zone before dishing it out front or out to the point. He doesn't possess blazing speed, but he's quick and agile. He has an active stick and caused a couple of turnovers by playing pesky. His offensive creativity and special hands let him create time and space to distribute the puck. He made a couple of real nice touch, saucer passes.

Chad Krys, RD, 5-11/184, Ridgefield, Conn. (Boston University) - His skating ability and mobility allow him to cover a ton of space in the defensive zone. A left shot, He has a good active stick and did a good job most of the time in his own zone Friday. He did a good job of getting in shooting and passing lanes. There were a couple of spots where he got beat or was caught in no-man's land, but that's to be expected for a 17 year-old kid out against a premier college program. He has good footwork and is so nimble carrying the puck up ice.

Jake Oettinger, 6-4/201, Lakeville, Minn. (Boston University) - He made 41 saves on 45 shots and did most of it look effortless. He's a big goaltender that covers a lot of net. He's a hybrid butterfly goalie who makes quick lateral movement in the crease. He's graceful and smooth in front of his cage. He challenges shooters and covers up rebounds quickly. A late '98, he's not eligible for the 2016 NHL Draft.

Oettinger and Keller have been outstanding...the clear MVP's of this team...Krys has really picked up his game after a rough start...Bellows...ugh

So who should we try to hire to replace the fired coaching staff this offseason? Will it be another BU guy or would it be better to go with a fresh start and a new direction?
 
Re: BU 2017 Season Thread II: Terriers rising

Yes i am very sad BC had to settle for someone like tolvanen next year

Do you seriously think quinn should be fired?
