The "formula" keeps spitting out BC players so he's still tweaking it
Um, hello?? It's Thursday. Where is this week's list? Were there that many to choose from? Or not enough?

Re: Hockey East: Rookie of the Weak
This week's list is sponsored by contraction, or If a umass team falls in a forest does anyone care?
Third star (1 point):
Marc Boulanger – G, UML -The word Boulanger is French for baker. The significance of which is nothing except Election Day was apparently a bad day to be a baker in taxachussetts. While the Eagles were no Deval Patrick, it didn’t matter since this bout was also a no contest. Once could even say the only type of bread this Boulanger has been making is sour dough. History fun fact: It took France just under seven weeks to fall to Germany in World War II, but it has taken Boulanger even less time to cede control of the Lowell net to fellow freshman, Doug Carr. Astute readers will remember Carr as our week 1 winner. Four goals against was again the story for Billy Breadmaker as an offensively offensive BC team still trounced the Riverhawks to the tune of 5-2 during the Tuesday night beat down.
Second star (3 points):
Chad Ruhwedel - D, UML - As this list has proved time and time again, it isn’t uncommon for one player to be singlehandedly responsible for a team’s loss. But it is pretty rare, and equally hilarious, when that player isn’t named 'goalie'. Such was the case for Chad Ruhwedel, whose four goals against performance against Boston College was roughly the equivalent of what would be a double digit affair by his (former) buddy, Boulanger. We’ll be so kind as to split the, in this case, very ugly baby and call it a snowman; which, unless you are Scott Darling, is still terrible. Ruhwedel would attempt to acquit himself with an assist vs. UNH; however his net ineptitude this week simply could not be overlooked.
First star (5 points):
Connor Allen - D, UMA – Keeping with the theme of bad defensemen singlehandedly costing his team the game, take everything written about Ruhwedel and multiply by 10 to get down to a level worthy of Connor Allen’s performance vs. Army. Thanks to Allen, the Black Knights, flying without Will Smith, gladly continued the streak of Atlantic Hockey dominance over Hockey East by beating up on Umass 5-2. Though Allen only hung around for 30 minutes of the game, in his short time, he picked up a minus on both of Army’s first period goals before he exited left (pursued by a bear) thanks to a five minute major for hitting from behind. Well, that’s not so bad you might be saying to yourself; and you’d be sorta wrong (which is a lot like being sorta pregnant). Because since we make the rules, we also hold Allen responsible for the two additional goals Army netted during their major advantage while Allen was assaulting water coolers in the locker room. Prompting the good reverend to say "Why we are on this particular mission, we'll never know. But I do know, here today, that the Black Knights will emerge victorious once again".
Dishonorable mention: Shawn Bates, Branden Gracel, Cody Ferriero

Very, very surprised that young Cody rates DH, only. Speaks well of the "accomplishments" stars 1 - 3.

He did register two whole shots on goal against UHN. He even managed one against mighty Lowell.

With Arnold picking up a point in the VT-BC games safe to assume he won't win this week either.

The big-time snub is apparently that no one qualified last week!

Re: Hockey East: Rookie of the Weak
a relatively quiet weekend thanks to a rare off week for the lowell skating abortions
Third star (1 point):
Connor Allen - D, UMA - Though unable to defend his title, Allen still sneaks on to the list for the second week in a row thanks in large part to a DNP in the Friday night affair against New Hampshire. One can only assume that his recognition on this prestigious list got him the 'Cody Ferriero' treatment as the minutemen would lose 3-0 to Dick Umile's squad in game one. Allen responded "well" to the benching by amassing only a minus one (and a PPG against) during his Saturday night return to the ice in a 3-3 tie with the aforementioned mildcats, upping his season total to minus 9; bad enough to lead all rookie skaters.
Second star (3 points):
Charlie Coyle - F, BU - Welcome home, Charlie! The prodigal son returns to the list for the first time (joke). A winless weekend sealed the deal for this young man who eked out this spot over his classmate, Matt Nieto, by delivering a minus one and no points during a two game set with Merrihack. Coyle was mostly invisible this weekend except for when he was bad - notably, being on the ice during the Warriors' lone goal on Friday night and then chipping in a two minute penalty for unsportsmanlike conduct on Saturday night.
First star (5 points):
Cody Ferriero - F, NU – Your usual table, Mr. Ferriero? Northeastern finally stopped its three game losing streak against Atlantic Hockey teams by failing to play one this weekend. They were not, however, able to stop any bleeding as they dropped two more games to Maine, running their overall losing streak to five games. Disgustingly, Northeastern currently stands at one win through 10 games (a forfeit by lowell). Anyway, young Cody did his part in securing the sweep for the Blackbears by picking up a minus and wearing out a path to the penalty box four more times over the two games. On Friday, his second penalty of the night produced the game winner for the home team midway through the third period of what was a tie game. Saturday was a much less theatrical affair for #79; though Cody did manage another two minute time out for running the Maine goalie and then was later forced to serve a minor penalty incurred by his own goaltender, Chris Rawlings.
