Fanboys and Superfrauds, 251st and 252nd Edition (12/3, 12/4)

Re: Fanboys and Superfrauds, 251st and 252nd Edition (12/3, 12/4)

Is it true that BU fans chant "thank you seniors" at the Beanpot? That is remarkably lame.

Watching the replay right now, I'd love to see the giveaway numbers for Warsofsky he was close to hitting double digits in the first alone.

Parker: “We were outclassed by a team that’s playing at the top of its game,”

Honestly I don't think this team is near it's peak. It's missing it's best Dman this year (up until the injury Cross was outplaying Dumoulin) & our best freshman.

I couldn't agree more, Cross was playing great and Hayes, a 1st rd draft pick was already making an impact. When you replace walk-ons with these two there is definitely going to be an improvement. Granted, BU was missing Connolly, but I just don't see any way they expect to be closer to us come Beanpot time.

Look at all these happy faces. I think this was after the 8th goal... it was hard to keep track.

I have a sweet video of Gibbons' penalty shot goal with a nice 8-10 second pan of the student section after he scored. Good stuff.[/QUOTE]

Taking pictures and video of the BU student section during a blowout? Maybe someday you will grow up. :rolleyes:

Congrats to BC on a dominating weekend. "They are who we thought they were!"

Right on cue...not being able to hold the point leads to Kreider walking in alone for a SHG.

That was a great kill for BC, 3-2 lead at the time, obviously the SHG is great but also Cam had a breakaway and we had a 3 on 2.
 
Re: Fanboys and Superfrauds, 251st and 252nd Edition (12/3, 12/4)

I suggest HE nominate an official "counter" to attend all BC games to give us all an unbiased and accurate accouting of everything right that BC does in the course of a game. :D Just to avoid future confusion. Maybe he could carry a towel to mop up the fan drool too. :)
 
Re: Fanboys and Superfrauds, 251st and 252nd Edition (12/3, 12/4)

Does Kreider have motivation issues or something? Can he only get up for big games? Because every time BU and BC play, he looks ridiculous, but you look at the numbers and he's been disappointing in that aspect with some semi-lengthy scoreless streaks. I feel like he may be the second most talented player I've seen in Hockey East in recent years (Wilson), so I'm very surprised he hasn't dominated in a Wilson-as-a-sophomore fashion this year.

Then again, after watching him this weekend, I'd be completely unsurprised if he went on a major tear.

Is that a pic of BU fans or a pic of people at a refugee camp waiting for bread?
 
Re: Fanboys and Superfrauds, 251st and 252nd Edition (12/3, 12/4)

OK I admit I overrated BU. They are not very good... at all. Hard to believe they were #1 at any point this year.

I'm glad you have it all figured out using a two game sample. In December.

HE's official "counter" is busy still counting all of the times Maine cheated under Shawn Walsh. :D

No I used a 15 game sample.

Good wins: Notre Dame, UNH
Smoked by: BC x2.
Loss to UNH

So right there you have 2 quality wins, 3 losses to good teams.

Chumps on schedule: UMass x 2, Providence, and Lowell x2.

Ties vs. Brown, Merrimack x2, Maine (neutral effect cumulatively).

Tell me you're joking. I think BU had a nice first weekend, made a living off that for a while, and got exposed this weekend. The total 15 game set tells me BU is somewhere in the upper mediocre range. I know you guys got excited seeing BU at the #1 ranking but it doesn't take a genius to figure out why they were there.

Let me ask you this, do you think it's a coincidence BU has grabbed 1 win since they had an uptick in schedule with ok/good/great teams like Maine, Brown, UNH x2, BC x2 and Merrimack x2?

When you're counting so many of those NCAA Violations I'm sure he could be off by a few and no one would notice. I just hope no one tries to obstruct the process, that would be very bad! I'd hate to see someone banned for a year of hockey.

First of all, no BU fans bought the #1 ranking. Not even the biggest fanboy. Second of all, nobody thinks BU is in BC's class this year. BUT, I like this team. They are young, have some good talent, usually get very good goaltending, and are capable of beating anyone on any given night. You've decided they are mediocre to suck. I think they had an awful weekend. They'll be on the bubble for an NCAA birth and may even win an NCAA game. Oh, and look out in February. Afterall, that game at the Garden is their "real" National Championship.
