BU: '22-'23 Season: Sail The Boats

DLG · Dec 12, 2022

It appears that despite scoring 2 goals in final scrimmage today that Ryan Greene did not make the canadian junior team
Have always felt they never liked having college players supplant Canadian junior players on team

with Zabaneh scoring twice twice over the weekend do they have to find a spot for him besides being the extra forward

Did anyone else watch the game on ESPN+? They pulled in from the feed on the scoreboard to show the split screen with Joe and Michael Pereira only they had Joe's name on Michael and Michael's name on Joe. The photos they used had each in their school's gear. How do you screw that up?

- Pyrotechnics during intros? Really? Is this minor league hockey?

I saw a photo of the intros and saw the pyrotechnics. As someone who works for an insurance company, I was wondering how they got that by their safety team.

- A hockey rink without a center scoreboard is an unforgivable sin.

I've been saying that about Conte since it opened. I hate no center ice scoreboard. When I walk in an arena from the concourse, my eyes immediately go to the center to see if the score or time left. Mullins didn't have one for the longest time. Says to me that both those arenas were built for basketball. Mullins finally added one but it's just a huge monitor. There's no running time or score on it when live action is being shown. Some wasted real estate on it.

And finally, how was the TV broadcast. I heard rumblings that Bucci sounded like a BC homer. Was Colby on color or between the glass?

Colby was in the booth with Buccigross. I listened to some of the The Boston Hockey Fan Blog's podcast and he was interviewed and said he asked the Blackhawks for the night off so he could do this game. He has really done well with his broadcasting gig. I thought he sounded great. Bucci is Bucci. It was Jerry York Night so he had to fawn. Didn't bother me.

BU Hockey Stats tweeted: Terriers enter the Holiday break 11-5-0. The last two seasons that they entered the break with 11 wins, 2008-09 and 2014-15.

One of those worked out ok….the other, not so much

Yes. Their graphics are terrible. Constant errors. In the previous game when they put up the between period stats they actually had the SCORE wrong. In one instance they had things reversed, and in another they had a line which said Power Plays: 1/3 when the team hadn't scored a goal yet.

I have said this before...for a network that supposedly is making such a big push to show hockey (and maybe they just focus more on the NHL level), they sure do a mediocre job. Half the time they don't put up the penalty clock. I noticed on a 4 on 4 they don't put it up, as though the time doesn't matter because both teams are at even strength.

Frustrating, but it is what it is.

Would blame Uconn instead of ESPN+ for these errors

It happens every game though. It's happened at BU home games. Clearly they don't have "hockey people" working behind the scenes. Probably basketball people...because ESPN+ does EVERY game in existence...if you scroll through any given day, basically EVERY college game is available. It's "understandable," but it's frustrating and just points out again that hockey is a regional, niche sport.

The production of Hockey East games on ESPN+ is done by the home team, not ESPN. They only pick up the feed.

UConns home feed has been produced by the same guy for decades and it's notoriously bad among those who follow the program.

Also disappointing is that UConn never produces a game highlights video. For that matter, BC didn't produce one Friday either.

DNAEagle · Dec 13, 2022

I was disappointed not to see the highlights as well, but watching in person for a BU fan was probably painful, the replays only double the pain.

If we really went 11-2 not counting forfeits, and then went 11-1-1 the rest of the way, for a 22-3-1, how did we lose to Pennsylvania in the ECAC quarters 7-3 in what looks like a home game? Anyone know those circumstances?

About $1400 in todays dollars. Wild story and a fun read for sure.

Ryan Greene cut from Team Canada. Guess he’ll be back for our holiday break games.

You can read David Warner's thoughts about that. He thinks BU was looking past Penn.

As for Penn, beside Coach Crocker perhaps feeling like he should have been the BU head coach, the whole team likely felt that they were disrespected when BU was given the last home ice slot over them. Based on records Penn finished 4th in the ECAC, but playoff spots and home ice were given out by the men in the smoke filled room back then.

Penn was a terrific road team that season, losing just twice in away games. At the end of the quarterfinal loss--with BU fans, myself included, sitting stunned in the WBA stands--all the Terriers skated to the Penn bench to congratulate Crocker. BU lost its final two games to finish 22-6-1 on the ice (11-17-1 in the record book) with a pair of All Americans, Steve Dolloff and Ed Walsh.

According to Penn's 73-74 media brochure the team went 9-2-2 on the road in 72-73, all ECAC games, including a tie at Cornell and defeating BU in the quarterfinals.

Walter Brown is sold out for tonight's game vs. Harvard. I suppose it makes sense given the smaller capacity and the way the team is playing. But I assumed incorrectly that this being during break would mean that tickets would be available at game time. Should be a great atmosphere. Glad it is on ESPN2. Hopefully the team can keep the general momentum going, and reverse their Friday night curse.
