Hockey East: Anyones Tournament

Re: Hockey East: Anyones Tournament

No reason for you guys to talk about hockey, anyways. Well, you always can look back to 2008 (the winter part, you know.... before they started choking in the Beanpot, or the last day of the regular season, or the Hockey East Tournament, or the NCAA against Cornell).....

I wouldn't say that we choked in the 'Pot. We lost to the better team and eventual national champion. I will give you that we choked in the other two. And what hockey do I need to talk about? My teams season is over and I don't care about the rest. Except to see bu and bc lose.
 
Re: Hockey East: Anyones Tournament

Is everyone still standing at Matthews? Have the lights been turned off yet? Actually, probably not because they might not be able to turn them back on...

Well they have definitely turned the lights off at this place....

Re: Hockey East: Anyones Tournament

While BC has been consistent (consistently good), it is generally accepted that a team with so many freshmen (especially a loaded freshman class) can get better as the season moves on and they adjust to the speed of the game from their prior level's of play. Additionally, throw in BC's absurd postseason record under Jerry York, and you're really huffing some serious fumes if you think a postseason matchup between these teams will even closely resemble those games in November and October.
.

There you go again with the post season record somehow making a difference.

As far as last year's game in January with so many BC seniors, that team stunk. They didn't do a thing last year for a reason. And they were replaced with freshmen that have outplayed them in general by a mile.
.

I thought you guys were blaming that all on Muse?? How did that post season record help you out last year???


Nick Papagiorgio;4685808 So BC has consistently good teams... yet this year's team is "****ty"? That makes sense. Keep on huffing those fumes hippie. This year's current #4 PWR team is "****ty". Sure sure sure. Sure. .[/QUOTE said:
No try reading again. I know you BC folk have trouble with this reading thing.....

BC has been consistently good ( a period denote the end of the statement)
A ****tty team ( note , there was nothing about this year or any other year in this statement) will not be good just because past teams have done well in the playoffs. I.E. BC's post season doesn't mean squat other then they have had past success. It doens't mean anyone is going to hand them the trophy.

Now, stop drinking ,put down the bong, flush the crack cocaine , go shave and head down to the communtiy college and take a course in remedial reading.

Go you!
 
Re: Hockey East: Anyones Tournament

Yea, it's just a coincidence that BC keeps winning in the postseason. I'm sure there's no reason to explain that pattern. Explain BC's lack of RS titles compared to trips to the FF and HE tourney titles in the York era. This ought to be something. I'm sure it's just coincidence as well. Or maybe BC just runs into chumps like Air Force and Yale every postseason to pump up their numbers

Then again, you did say earlier this year that games in October mean just as much as games in April and March, didn't you? So it makes sense that the postseason games don't make a difference to you (except for your constant yapping about beating Yale and Air Force).

How did that post season record help you out last year???

Even in a terrible year BC was still 2-1 in the postseason last year, all as the underdog (both on paper and in reality). Turns out the RS wasn't good enough. Maybe they would have had a nice run in the NCAAs if they didn't screw around in the RS for so long. I mean, EVEN UVM MADE THE FROZEN FOUR!!!!! Anything was possible last year.

No try reading again. I know you BC folk have trouble with this reading thing.....

First of all, your post about "****ty" teams was in response to my quote inferring that BC will continue to own UVM in the playoffs. And for good reason (which your tiny brain cannot figure out). Thus when you said it was laughable that I think "that somehow a ****ty team is going to win come playoff time just because it's the playoffs" you should (I put should because you're just too retarded to be considered normal) be referring to BC as the ****ty team. Regardless, I never said that in the first place so your whole cute little rant goes right down the tubes. The truth is, talent/coaching wins out in the end and BC has both and the results make sense. And part of that coaching is getting a team to peak at the right time - which BC does just about every year like clockwork.

Past success doesn't indicate future performance (like the stock market) but the results keep coming out the same almost every time for a reason. BC knows when to peak (again, see the question I referred to up at the top). They underperform all RS and then turn it up when the hardware is on the line.

BC's strategy is a lot better than UVM's strategy of "let's drop some acid, hope we make the NCAAs and pray we get chumps like Yale and Air Force!".

Sorry, just hoping that a random hockey quote might break up some of the inter-school hostility. Let's talk hockey here boys.

Jeez Nick you are so close to understanding it.

You think that past performance is a stat, like GAA or something. But ok go with that if you like. Your call.

looks like TinyTiger has some competition in the "I have nothing to add so I will correct grammar" category.

BTW it was spelled with 3 "T"s in an attempt to circumvent the policing.
 
Re: Hockey East: Anyones Tournament

this is the best argument that a team isn't good i've ever seen.

"they're not good they're just historically good all the time"

Wow, did you guys all take some stupid pills today.

This years team is in the post season. How they do will not be dictated by how past teams did. Comprende amigo???
 
Re: Hockey East: Anyones Tournament

jcarter has answers for everything, even questions that weren't asked! no coincidence that the only vermont fan i've seen come to his defense...was actually himself. or his other self...

where has grantfan been anyway?
 
Re: Hockey East: Anyones Tournament

In regards to the actual tournament talk ... I can see all the road teams but UMass (sorry UMass fans) making their respective series tough. I'm hoping that Lowell can finally end their repetitive losing up at Maine this year (and with Darling out, they might have the chance). I think the final four will be the Big Four less Maine (with Lowell taking their spot).

It's weird as a long time Lowell fan. We got used to being at the Garden/FleetCenter for a long time ... and then it went away. With the joy (last second tie, OT win) and the despair (BU loss) of last year, I'd love to go back and try it again.


Couldn't agree more UML Fan. Would love to see Lowell come out with two wins in Maine. Maine and MC are my picks for most improved teams this year, but I hope Lowell takes advantage of Darling out. Man, I already feel nervous. Maine is such an offensive power that you never know what the results will be.

Also, Holmstrom "is" playing in game 1, right? Tough call on him during senior night. To me it looked like the player was on the way down before Ben touched him....IMHO.
 
Re: Hockey East: Anyones Tournament

yes he "only" got a misconduct. six minutes into his senior night game. because he put himself in a position where it would appear as though he drilled a falling player from behind.

No, when you start calling someone "community college" level, at least make it seem like you didn't have to fellate the dean of admissions to get in!

Not to mention that you advocate "remedial reading" when you can benefit from spelling classes.
 
Re: Hockey East: Anyones Tournament

Or that they have a great coach who knows how to prepare a team for big games. I'm sure you're right, though. It must just be a coincidence that BC consistently has so much success in March and April.

You guys still can't get it after I have explained it over and over.

York is a great coach and certainly their post season success has to do with that. But previous post season success DOES NOT GUARANTEE success this season.

Why is that so freaking hard to understand. The concept that because BC of 2008 won a NC that doesn't mean that they are going to win a 2010 NC. They are a different team, the teams they are playing are different teams, etc, etc, etc.

You are absolutely right, I need a class in spelling and actually giving a crap when posting in a forum such as this. Of course that has little to do with the some of the other posters needing remedial reading class. See they are two separate points.

a.) Nick P needs to learn how to read
b.) jcarter needs to pay more attention to his spelling.
