All in all not overly memorable. He scored BU's first goal in the 1991 Beanpot championship game vs BC, just 1:03 after BC had scored in the opening minute. However, BC retook leads of 2-1 and 3-2 and tied the game 4-4, before BU scored 3 goals in the last 2:18 of the second period. Are you maybe confusing Krys' only BU goal with Chris Lappin's overtime goal in the 1989 Beanpot opening game vs NU? It was his second goal as a Terrier as he had scored his first against Minnesota two weeks before after playing 50 games without a goal.

Re: BU 2017 Season Thread II: Terriers rising
Do you have readily available stats for shots on goal? I would be curious to see who has the fewest shots on goal over a career, or in 100+ games, etc. I was thinking of this because I was thinking that at least Cloonan shoots the puck, as opposed to Diffley.
How soon we forget!
Player, Season, GP, Points
Scott Perry, 1999-00, 41, 0-3-3
Brian McGuirk, 2004-05, 33, 0-1-1 - note: he scored in the U-18 exhibition game
Ryan Santana, 2009-10, 30, 0-1-1
I looked and he has not scored a goal in 61 games played, good for ninth among all players since the start of Hockey East and second among forwards.
Player, Games played without a goal
Mark Krys, 123 games (from start of BU career)
Patrick MacGregor, 115 games (never scored a goal in his BU career)
Tom Morrow, 109 games (from start of BU career)
Eric Gryba, 88 games
Scott Perry, 73 games
Brien Diffley, 72 games (active)
Sean Escobedo, 66 games
Dan Ronan, 65 games
Ryan Cloonan, 61 games (active)
Ryan Priem, 61 games
Colin Sheen, 60 games

No, I don't. The older game sheets didn't include that information. However, it looks like the Hockey East website does have shots stats from the 1999-00 season forward. As for Cloonan vs Diffley, this season Cloonan has only 19 shots on goal in 29 games (0.655 SOG per game) while Diffley has 8 in 11 games (0.727 SOG per game). Last season Cloonan did indeed shoot more, as he has 53 SOG in 39 games (1.359 SOG per game), so he either is off target more or shooting less this season. For their careers Cloonan has averaged 1.059 SOG/game and Diffley has averaged 0.835 SOG/game.

Re: BU 2017 Season Thread II: Terriers rising
So not to bring up another whole discussion about the "waning interest" in the Beanpot...BUT. What I noticed in that clip was the crowd. Probably, what, three FULL sections in the balcony of BU students going wild? NO empty seats (unlike recently). And a large contingent in the lower bowl. I would have to say that entire quarter of the building was full of BU fans. How things have changed in ten years... (lamenting)

Re: BU 2017 Season Thread II: Terriers rising
Plus price doesn't help.
$90 for a set of tix (40, I believe for students). Sure you're getting 4 games so in the fall you may not think twice, but in the spring you've gotta think about Beanpot, HEA tourney (opening round, QF, Garden), regionals, and maybe even F4. That's a lot of expenses especially for those who now have family/kids/etc.
And after 65 years, it's only natural that the allure has faded a bit.

Re: BU 2017 Season Thread II: Terriers rising
PLUS you have until this season the same 2 teams win it every year. Harvard winning it will atleast make it a 3 team tourney again. Hopefully NU can get it next year. Its not just to hopefully get more Harvard fans, its just to bring back the overall interest from casual fans which this tourney used to have. NU for some reason brings bigger crowds then ever. Games are on TV, tickets are expensive, nobody stays for games that their team is not in anymore. Its just different, but if it can go back to where any team can win it and Harvard and NU get a few then there may be a little more interest. But it will never be like it used to be. Remember 10 years ago Parker said, nobody wants to see BU win this thing anymore.

I was sitting next to a Gophers fan at WBA the night Chris Lappin scored his first goal. She had been cheering rather too loudly, but Chris shut her up.

Re: BU 2017 Season Thread II: Terriers rising
No, I just find NU fans to be much more annoying. Go back to the preseason thread and look at how some of your fans responded to even modest criticism. Its actually pretty simple
My opinion on Amherst is someone needs to finish in last, I would prefer it be Amherst.
When it comes to NU and the beanpot its similar. Someone has to finish second, I enjoy seeing it be NU.

Re: BU 2017 Season Thread II: Terriers rising
Peter Fish beat Hobey winner Robb Stauber that night. One of those rare high points during a tough stretch in the late 80's. Another was the 12-3 (I think) win against PC where Kelfer had a Hat Trick on the first period and finished like 4-3-7, Tomlinson had something like 2-5-7, and I believe Joe Sacco was on their line and had a 5 point night.
Many low points during those years, including Fish practically putting the puck in his own net against NU in the Beanpot, and Cornell destroying BU something like 8-2 at the Garden.

The BU-PC game was the fourth of the 1988-89 season and moved BU to 3-1 on the new season (unfortunately they went 11-20-1 the rest of the season). Kelfer did have the first period hat trick and 4-3-7, including the first two 35 seconds apart. David Tomlinson also had a hat trick, with 3-4-7, and Joe Sacco had 2-2-4. Joe's brother David, who was playing third line right defense, had 1-3-4. By the way, the 18 points by Kelfer, Tomlinson and J. Sacco is tied for most points by a BU line in a single game in my database (1918-1951 and 1984-current). However, they only ended up playing 12 games together in 88-89 with 26-30-56 line totals (so the PC game accounted for roughly a third of their points together).
The BU-Cornell game at the Garden (an 8-2 loss) was part of an ECAC-Hockey East double header and drew a 3,427. It was also the last non-tournament game BU played at the Garden.

Of course Fish didn't have to do too much vs Minnesota, as he only ended up facing 17 shots. Stauber also didn't have to work too hard, facing only 19 shots, but he let in the only goal of the game.

I admittedly know next to nothing about the PWR but looking at where we currently sit (7th) and seeing where UML and PC sit, and knowing that PC will be in Providence and is currently a 2/3 seed (and same with UML).....we go west. What needs to happen to keep us east? Win the HE tournament? Other things?? Not playing this weekend is all well and good but Providence's two wins this weekend will most likely move them up, no?

Re: BU 2017 Season Thread II: Terriers rising
PC is not the host, they aren't tied to playing in Providence. Also, two wins against UMass are virtually meaningless in PWR. Wouldn't surprise me if they end up being removed from PC's RPI calculation since they'd likely hurt their number by virtue of simply playing them.
