Re: BU offseason thread - this begs some questions!
I would be happy to take "mild criticism" of my school if the giver of said criticism could back up the criticism with reasoned arguments and facts. So far, Wodon has given no good reason to support his argument that "BU's AD locked himself in a bubble during this process and it's going to cost this storied program dearly." That's a very strong statement, for a writer to throw that out there with no substantiation then get mad when people ask for elaboration or clarification is foolish.

Re: BU offseason thread - this begs some questions!
Part of me thinks the disappointment (even delusional bitterness - see Wodon, Adam) from some in the college hockey media over BU promoting Albie -- similar to DU promoting Carle, NoDak promoting Berry, and Union promoting Bennett -- is that they WANTED a salacious process and outcome so it would give them something more to write about. I can see how from a journalists' standpoint, BU hiring a different alum or hiring Bennett would've been much more interesting for them to cover b/c of the ramifications such hire would've brought to BU both on and off-ice. To me this was reinforced by the lack of media present at Albie's presser as well as the scarcity of questions (3 total -- 2 of which were asked by the same journalist).
If the search/hiring process begged questions, why weren't media who have criticized or speculated on the process present at the press conference? And for the handful of media members present, why didn't any of them ask Drew to further elaborate on the process if it begged some questions?

Mike McMahon had an interesting tweet that both BU and BC coaches are from Watertown. We should schedule an exhibition in a local rink there!

). However, if BU and BC were to play at Ryan Arena it would have to count against each teams' 34-game limit even if it was considered an exhibition, so I don't think it will happen. Of course, it did happen it would be very close to a throwback game playing in such an old and small rink. I would guess with the limited seating ticket demand would far exceed ticket supply.

No, it's in Watertown and I never want to see another game there as long as I live (although I probably will this fall

Bentley is in Waltham but the JAR where they used to play is in Watertown (Also the Watertown “public” rink I believe)

BTW (I didn't get a chance to get this into the previous thread before it closed)...I thought your "response" to Adam was excellent and thanks for taking the time to write it (regardless of how it may have been "dismissed" by him).

Alas, poor mookie, I knew him well... enough to know he'd crack a Jerry York joke.
Actually, we don't want York or his son. We want York's sun.

Since it was on Facebook and social media a day earlier, there was not much "new news" value.
If the media did not already know who was being hired, a lot more would have been present.

Not sure how many BU has but with Orpik winning another, BC is now tied with Wisconsin for most Cup winners from NCAA.

The article doesn't state an objection to that, does it? It seems to suggest the exact opposite.
