I had fun watching the 1987 Beanpot Semi-Final for the first time. That was my first Beanpot game ever, and I didn't remember much. Some interesting takeaways for me (Apologies if I am repeating anything from a post by Bomber or others):
- For a BU-BC game, very little pushing and shoving after the whistle. I think in general this is something that didn't used to happen as much as it does today.
- No glass on the penalty box boards.
- No helmets for the refs.
- The goal signal for a ref was not to point at the net, but to lift their arm up (seemingly just like a penalty call). Weird.
- The quick whistles for tie-ups on the boards. Wow that was way too easy a way to get a whistle.
- Love that stand-up goalie style. A lot more shots from far out back then (unscreened). I think these have gone away because with butterfly-style goaltending, they are going to get saved every time.
- Greg Brown looked really good, better than Brian Leetch. I often thought Brown was overrated (I think he was HE POY twice), but he looked really good in that game.
- How about that 1st PP Unit for BC: Leetch, Brown, Craig Janney, and Kevin Stevens. Amazing we kept them off the board.
- Speaking of Brian Leetch, my favorite call from the game was "John Preston steals the puck from Leetch and goes in alone". A career highlight?
- Taillefer and John Bradley could be twins in their outfits and #30s. They look exactly the same.
- Scott Young's skill was evident. So was John Cullen's craftiness.
The hockeydb database has gotten much better over the past 2 decades, but it's still far from complete. My own BU hockey database is also still far from complete after almost 25 years, but I'm usually able to cobble information not in it together from the closet full of sources I've collected.
Trentini played in 17 games over his junior (1988-89) and senior (1989-90) seasons. He played in 5 straight games in January 1989 and then the last 5 games of the season, including the playoff loss to Providence, the game which he scored his lone goal. His goal at 2:42 of the second period tied the game at 1-1, but the Friars retook the lead just over 8 minutes later and increased the lead to 3-1 before a late David Sacco goal cur the lead to 3-2. His senior season he played in 7 of the last 12 games of the season, first being put into the lineup on 27 February. He was the fourth line center for 16 of the 17 games he played in and was the fourth line right wing in the other. His game-by-game stats:
)So he was Scott Perry before Scott Perry?
Also, that is why the draft is only 7 rounds now.
I've actually never posted my contact info, please send me an email through the forum contact form.
Neither do I, since they are all playing for me.Wish I could watch. I have no idea why I am unable to play these games.
That one was a bit of a pain to edit back together using my taped copy to fill in the gaps since the edited version was:
