What happened to Yip?
I knew Wilson had a groin injury.

No idea, I was surprised to see him on the NHL's report.

Despite not loving us enough to put our logo at the top, ESPN Boston decided to still post articles about BU hockey.

A friend told me he saw Yip visiting the BU campus recently with a cast on one of his arms.

Uuuggggh. Not looking forward to 3rd and 4th lines looking like that. I think we have to spread out the scoring a bit. I make last year's 3rd this year's 1st. Bonino is good enough to score on his own; he will get his points no matter who you put him with. Make Cohen a wing and put him at the side of the net and Bonino can get him the puck. Give them Gilroy who can skate around, take up space, draw one defender and (hopefully) not take penalties; I'm sure he could score 6 or 7 goals with Bonino and Cohen out there. All freshman 3rd line, probably put up similar numbers to last year's 3rd line. 4th line of Glass, Popko and Pereira should be pretty similar to last year's line, maybe better with more experience from all three (I know Cohen scored some when he was on the 4th but a lot did come when he was moved around on other lines, too).

So, I'm taking he pre-wrote this article a while ago making the assumption that BU would be ranked #1 in the pre-season? The article states the banner raising is the 20th.

I'm sure this was written yesterday when the HE poll came out, but he just got sloppy with regards to checking on the banner thing. In his defense, it did change and who knows where it still says Oct 20.
Speaking of Polls (or Poles) When does the USCHO National poll come out?
EDIT TO ADD: Did they do more work on Matthews Arena? From the article:

I think that would be a 3rd line that could score. I don't agree that Gilroy should be on the top line, though. We at least need someone who is proven to be able to deposit some pucks when given a nice feed. And on RW, that's no one. Even Saponari had some trouble with that last year. That said, I think he's the guy for that position, I'm sure he's going to be a better player from the get-go. Last year I said put Higgins-Wilson-Yip out there, Parker spread it out instead, and Lawrence had a fabulous season. However, there is no second option that can do the same things given a chance that we've seen yet.

I believe they changed out some of the old seats and added a center ice scoreboard. Not as nice as the Agganis scoreboard, but an improvement.
BC added a new scoreboard on the ends of the arena where the old ones were.

Actually Northeastern did a lot - everything you can't see is new including a new area to workout so you won't see them warming up in the concession area pre-game. Also a new pressbox on the lower level (you might want to check out its location before buying seats to a game). They did the official tour today - I'm sick and didn't go, but there should be a story up later & there is a before/after gallery.

Re: Official Boston University 2009-2010 Pre-season thread - Let the banners rise!
I was thinking that line would be the second. Put last year's freshman line out there as the first line. I'm expecting big things from all of them, but mostly from Trivino. Top two lines would get the same amount of playing time anyway. Obviously it all depends on how they look in practice, but I think Gilroy's good enough to play with Bonino and Cohen, guys who are going to get points anyway. Putting Gilroy with them means Gilroy will get points he wasn't going to get anyway. I think he's good enough to get 7 goals - about what McCarthy got last year, though McCarthy brought a lot more to the table that I don't think Gilroy will. Just an unconventional idea to spread out the scoring. I think we will end up with two lines that can score and with a team that won't be scoring as much, I feel like spreading it out will be the most effective way to beat other teams. Having defensemen that can score will certainly help and it will be because of our overwhelming advantage there that we'll do pretty well this season.

When do we start discussing this weekends game? Does it get its own thread? And should we move to a 2009-2010 season thread? (or do we wait until the Notre Dame game for that).
In checking out their website so far this season the "X-Men" have a 6-1 loss to the Florida Panthers Rookie Team (yes the Florida Panthers of the NHL). Also a 4-2 loss to Acadia (who I believe we have played in previous seasons exibition games?) Then most recently an opening round loss in the Don Wells Invitational Tourney to St Mary's before beating Dalhousie 5-3 in the consolation final.
I'm looking forward to seeing the team... and I always think these games against the canadian teams are fun. A couple of years ago we got to chatting with some of the players from New Brunswick at Sunset after the game... seemed like good guys who enjoyed coming down this way to play.
Edit: It just struck me... from an old debate on these boards... perhaps the term "consolation final" is appropriate after all!

Does this mean that Yip will be playing in the NHL once he's healthy?

Because this is a "pre-season" thread and contains the phrase "Let the banners rise" I was going to wait until after the exhibition games to start a season thread.
I don't know, but probably not. I think he was going to be (or already was?) sent down to the AHL, so I'm surprised he is on the NHL roster, albeit on IR, at all. It's interesting.
