BU Off-Season: Forward to the Past

[ColinWilsonFan]

wow. rogie better tell his cousin that the golfing partner there is an imposter!!!!

It’s comments like that , that make these kinds of posts even less meaningful . The rush to share information that is not validated in any way just to share like “you are in the know “ when you don’t know anything. It’s kids lives and careers and you just throw such garbage out there.
I laugh at so many of the posts here as they couldn’t be more wrong in most instances ...

Re: BU Off-Season: Forward to the Past

Some actual BU hockey news that is not ancient history on VHS.

For the record, most of the ancient history is on SVHS, with is better quality. Games before 1991 are either Betamax or VHS, then SVHS until the 2006 Hockey East tournament when they DVHS (and HD, although most games were just up converted SD) and since 2010 no more tape, just straight from DVR. Here are the most recent games I've uploaded to my Google drive:

1999 Oct 30 PC at BU
1999 Nov 06 MC at BU
2001 Nov 20 BU at Harvard
2001 Nov 24 Cornell at BU
2007 Feb 16 BU at UNH
2008 Feb 15 Maine at BU
2009 Denver Cup Championship BU at DU
2010 Feb 12 Maine at BU

Bonus Material
BU DeWolfe Boathouse

With that there are now 200 BU games on my drive, with over 100 still to convert. If I go ahead and get a second Google account and split the games between the two how would you like them split? I'm think maybe 20th Century games on one and 21st Century games on the other.

I agree with that approach to the split.

Huh. So I take it you ARE in the know? I laugh at posts like these. You act all high and mighty then never back up anything. If you have issues, either come clean or stop reading. Rogie has pretty reliable sources for his information. What are yours?

I don’t find it high and mighty I find it accurate ... and truthful ... people love to talk and gossip somehow it makes them feel better makes them “in the know “ when they aren’t even close ... I don’t think gossip that has no basis makes sense to post here .. and I dont have to prove anything to you nor would I ever post anything that’s private and confidential... especially when people’s lives and careers are at stake it’s one thing to talk about the team your personal thoughts their play how a player is doing ... thoughts about choices made recruits etc I get it ... but to just engage in innuendo and rumors that are often baseless does nothing good for anyone ... he liked albie he didn’t like albie albie likes him this one is leaving or left or was going to leave I mean what purpose does it really serve especially when it’s not based on any fact you want to say it’s your thoughts or feelings or conjecture ok but don’t peddle those things as facts and “sourced “ when often they aren’t and if they are supposedly then marginally and even if direct why post here ?

As in livelihoods and yes for many this is a lifelong sacrifice and a rumor
Or innuendo can sadly
Go a long ya in messing with a player or coach's career

I know you think your so funny .... but I don’t find you very amusing or remotely knowledgeable about the game

Re: BU Off-Season: Forward to the Past

NESN+ showing the 1997 Hockey East Championship game. Michel LaRoque not really having the best period.

 

[brassbonanza]

Re: BU Off-Season: Forward to the Past

I too like to use ellipses instead of periods ...

 

[mookie1995]

As in livelihoods .....

Then this was covered when “career” was typed there champ.

The lives added was overkill.

..and mookie is both knowledgeable AND funny. Just ask rover!

Re: BU Off-Season: Forward to the Past

Here are the most recent games I've uploaded to my Google drive:

1993 Dec 11 BU at BC
2003 Nov 15 MC at BU
2003 Nov 30 Yale at BU
2005 Mar 05 BU at UNH
2008 Mar 07 PC at BU

That make 250 games overall and 211 BU games. The Yale at BU game is the one in which Kevin Schaeffer and Whitney both had hat tricks.the

I edited the 2008 March 7 PC at BU game as the sound was out of sync (I hope I did a decent job of re-syncing it) and I kept most of the intermission desk talk, as well as the player interviews. I've also edited a number of games, but I've been inconsistent with what intermission stuff I've kept/edited out from game to game. I'd be interested to hear thoughts on what intermission stuff, if any, I should keep.

1995 Feb 10 BU at UML

2000 Jan 16 Maine at BU
2000 Jan 29 UNH at BU

After looking at several options for storing video online it looks like Google is probably the best option at this time. With the drive almost out of space I cleaned all of the above games, removing all commercials (hopefully) and all or most of the intermissions (I have kept player interviews), to reduce their file size. It made a noticeable difference, so much so that I am looking at cleaning all the games I've already uploaded. Doing so may allow me to keep all the games together, however, I may also remove the non-BU games to make sure there is enough space for the BU games. I also converted a few intermission pieces separately from the games, as I thought they might be interesting to some. I'm probably going to put them on YouTube to free up space and make them more readily available. Hopefully I'll be able to clean more games than I convert over the next week, but I'll see how it goes.

My games spreadsheet now includes a column "Clean" that has a Y if the game has been cleaned.

Just watched the 3/4/1995 BC at BU game.

One of my favorite BU-BC games. Clearly, one of the most exciting and satisfying games in the long, storied rivalry.

Re: BU Off-Season: Forward to the Past

Anyone else get the email about the Terrier Hockey Town Hall on Zoom for Monday? I'm going to join.

 

[buoldtimer]

Re: BU Off-Season: Forward to the Past

After listening to Albie's Town Hall, I have two questions:

1. I think he said that the 2020-21 schedule is in still in play depending upon where we are with the virus a little further along. I think he intimated that the trip to Northern Michigan isn't a certainty, and that it's possible that all games may be played in Massachusetts. Did I hear correctly?

2. He mentioned a Grad Transfer. Does anyone have knowledge of this player's identity?

I think a normal 2020-21 schedule is a pipe dream, but that's just me.

No idea who the grad transfer is. Not sure if anyone does.

I was interested to hear that they're potentially going to 3x3 OT.

I was glad to hear the team awards.

Colton Kerfoot from Harvard is only forward I found (guessing forward) that could be the grad transfer. I only looked at IVY League, but could definitely come from somewhere else. IMO not sure how I feel about another grad transfer. Has not really worked the passed 2 years, plus I would prefer to develop an incoming freshman vs playing a player who has a very low ceiling and only one year of eligibility.

Shane Sellar from Dartmouth would also fit that description.
