Re: Fanboys and Superfrauds, 251st and 252nd Edition (12/3, 12/4)
way to go, pereira! that is the mentality! now i can see why parker wanted you as captain.
Did he honestly say that? If so, what a retarded comment (but certainly not surprised). Also found it funny that he said he doesn't cross the BC/BU line unless they're playing at Conte...where then does he find his women?
It was hilarious to see Parker barking at the officials after the 2nd, a 21-11 advantage in powerplays isn't enough for you?
Ha, he was in top form last night, literally calling for a penalty at any hint of contact. As for the officiating, still don't like ticky tack calls like the one on Carey in the first when you go back and look at other stuff that went uncalled. Perhaps in calling it roughing the ref thought he got the BU player up high (which he didn't). Before that was the phantom call on Hayes/dive by Coyle, but the refs also missed a pretty clear slash IMO by a BC player on Warsofsky (not the one where Gibbons knocked the stick out of his hands).
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.
Watching it now on DVR myself. Just watched the first period and that turnover on the first goal was simply brutal. Gonna wait to see the replay of the Kreider goal, but would be interested to see how BU fans think he's progressed in his own end (we all know his talent at the other end).
Kept a close eye on Clendening last night and was not very impressed at all with his defensive game. Made some bad turnovers as well...only a freshman and I've only seen him once in person, so obviously hard to judge him.
Granted, BU was missing Connolly, but I just don't see any way they expect to be closer to us come Beanpot time.
Ya, Connolly is a nice player, but not a game breaker. No doubt he will help them, just not sure how much.
I'm glad you have it all figured out using a two game sample. In December.
Certainly not all figured out, but even when BU was off to the great start, I still thought UNH and Maine were better teams.
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.
Good question. Not really sure to be honest with you. He definitely now has a reputation of playing well in big games. Guess I'll take that with some scoreless droughts rather than the reverse. If he does what he did last year though, he will indeed go on a tear.
