interesting email on tickets. seems one can exchange their ducats this year. if you can't make the uhn game, one will be able to exchange those 2 for a pair of seats to umo for example.

NU has had this for a while, but they limit the games you can trade for. I think last year it was
Lowell in like week 3 of the season, AIC on New Years Eve, or UConn mid-Beanpot. Not really a great selection unless you got it in against Lowell in October.

Hopefully Parker will talk some sense into him.

7:43PM: Bob McKenzie says that while a deal is not yet done, David Quinn "appears to be fairly well down the road in the process" of becoming the next coach of the Rangers.

5:24PM: According to Elliotte Friedman, "word this afternoon" is that the Rangers focus is, again, on BU's David Quinn to replace Alain Vigneault.

On Thursday, Bob McKenzie said on his Podcast, "every couple of days there seem to be reports that Quinn has told BU he is coming back and not going pro and then his name pops back up as a candidate. I don't have a handle at this moment on if David Quinn is available or not but his name keeps popping back up, percolating around as a potential candidate for the Rangers but I don't necessarily get the sense that he is this obvious choice front runner that is about to get an offer. Could be wrong but that is my take."

Quinn has been linked to the Rangers since the start of their coaching search

It's been reported that Quinn has told friends he will remain at Boston University but that he had not officially informed the Rangers of that decision.

Quinn was also named the head coach for Team USA's World Juniors team this coming December.

Quinn was an assistant at BU for three seasons while Kevin Shattenkirk was there and assistant GM Chris Drury is also a BU alum.

He was reportedly an option for Buffalo last summer and has said in the past that he has the "best job in all of hockey" and that it would take "something special" for him to leave BU. (WKBW)

There are currently 12 players from Boston University that have been drafted in recent years and 18 BU alums played in the NHL at one point this season.

Quinn was an associate coach at BU from 2004-05 to 2008-09, head coach of Lake Erie in the AHL from 2009-10 to 2011-12, an assistant with the Avs in 2012-13 and has been head coach at BU since 2013-14 to the present.

Steve Greeley, formerly the Director of Player Personnel for the Rangers in 2015-16 and 2016-17, was an associate coach with Quinn at BU in 2013-14 and 2014-15.

Greeley is currently the assistant GM of the Sabres.

5/18/18 | 7:47PM: McKenzie says that Jeff Gorton is in Denmark at the World Championships right now so nothing is believed to be "imminent."

He adds that Quinn has already interviewed with the Rangers and appears to be their "primary target." (McKenzie)

Now hearing that Rangers are waiting for GM to return from World Championships, after which they will announce Quinn as new head coach - 5-year deal. Story to follow.

My two cents: Promote Albie and add Joe Pereira as assistant or associate HC. He's done a great job at UConn.
 
Re: BU season thread volume 3.1 cause board/priceless/tippycanoe deleted ours

Mookie would be ok wit that. Fear though they may want a “name” big former player.

At this date Albie has earned a shot. He brings home the bacon. Let him fry it up in the pan :)
 
Re: BU season thread volume 3.1 cause board/priceless/tippycanoe deleted ours

Do you think any recruits will bail?
 
Re: BU season thread volume 3.1 cause board/priceless/tippycanoe deleted ours

I'd expect some recruits will look elsewhere. I'd also expect that Quinn will contact recruits and urge them to stay with BU.

Joe Sacco: not sure he graduated. BU made an accommodation for Scott Young, but might not for a head coach.

Another possible candidate: Shawn McEachern: long NHL career, has been a college assistant, now HC at The Rivers School.
 
Re: BU season thread volume 3.1 cause board/priceless/tippycanoe deleted ours

McMahon also mentioned Jay Pandolfo. I still think you give Albie a shot.

Do you have a list of alums coaching now? Heads, assts, whatever?

Asking for a friend? :p
