Re: BU Terriers 2018-19: Albie in Charge

Quite a night for Terriers in the NHL: goals for JFK, ERod (plus an assist), Greenway (plus an assist), Wilson. Two assists for Shattenkirk in a Rangers' win (they're 9-1-1 since Oct. 30). All three Terrier NHL coaches (Hynes, Quinn, Sullivan) had wins.

I think it also means that if your first name is Ryan, you have a good chance of having a long goal scoring drought! :D

To follow that up, if your first name is Ryan BU is probably not the school for you. The Terriers have had 8 players with the first name of Ryan, 6 of them forwards, and their combined career stats line is 47-118-165 (about 6-15-21 per player) and of that 16-43-59 was from one player, defenseman Ryan Whitney. If you take his numbers out that is 31-75-106 (about 4.4-10.7-15 per player).

On the other hand, if you go by Jack BU is probably the right school for you. The Terriers have had 15 players that went by Jack, including two goalies (one who was excellent) and the combined career stats line of the 13 skaters is 434-506-940 (about 33-39-72 per player). Names really do make a difference (at least for BU hockey).

But in this country it has an added twist to imply “god willing, but I doubt it may happen as you wish”

What if your first name is Oliver? Asking for a friend who might be looking at schools!

In my research I found no players with the first name of Oliver, although there are 13 players for which I have not learned their first names. None of them played more than a handful of games and only one even had a point (a goal), which is why their first names are shrouded in time. So, if your friend wants to come to BU he can be the trendsetter for Olivers.

1970-71 squad included Olivier Prechac, a forward from Versailles, France. Five games, 2 assists. He had previously played in the 1968 Olympic Games at Grenoble.

Yes, I was able to watch. It was interesting to hear what players the announcers pushed (most were the Europeans) and how they kept referring to BU draft picks as "former draft picks" (which technically they are, but is was still weird to hear).

BTW, Cloonan has now tied Eric Gryba for the 4th longest scoreless streak as a Terrier at 88 straight games. Next on the list is Tom Morrow at 109, then Patrick MacGregor at 115 and finally Mark Krys at 123.

Pat isn’t the MacGregor I’m thinking of wasn’t there a Bruce who scored an OT and series winner vs UNH in a 2 game quarterfinal series at WBA in the mid 80’s

Bruce MacGregor’s son Brad scored that goal. 1984 ECAC QF Series.
