Not sure about the rest of you, but my weekend was fabulous. After pre partying at my estate, my driver took us downtown to do some dancing. The club was bumping.
Before we went in, my buddy made us all finish off a bottle of Apple Pucker, which is my favorite.
I would have responded to some of your posts when I got home, but an 80's dance party broke out post-bar at my buddies place, then we all settled down to watch the Team USA kill it in men's gymnastics. John Orozco is fantasic! Besides, there were ladies who needed attention
Anyways, I will try and respond to some of your posts as my schedule permits today.
You're on the hook for a bottle of peach schnapps.

On the contrary, it is you who will be on the hook when BC fails to make the tourney. And none of the cheap stuff.

No jealousy at all, it's just not very nice to cheat on your wife. Mrs. Dubbs, obviously being a patient saintly woman of virtue, is probably out of town working for Doctors Without Borders and you're two-timing her. That's just mean.

Prediction: The greatest program of all time will get payback for Tampa this season and wax BC at the Mariucci Classic. Then the cycle starts all over again in April.
You've got your years mixed up. BC had huge losses in the spring of 2011. 2011-2012 was a rebuilding year for the Eagles.

Somebody here doesn't understand hockey, that's for sure.

Matchups set for this year's <a href="http://www.gophersports.com/blog/2012/07/matchups-set-for-mariucci-classic.html">Mariucci Classic</a>
It looks like officials were fearful that BC would get upset by UAH, so all matchups have been determined ahead of time to ensure a BC vs UMN matchup.
What a classy move by the Gophers in rewarding BC for their championship last year by ensuring BC a matchup against the top team in college hockey this year.

Just keep watching. You'll get the hang of it
At least you weren't one of those helpless souls that insisted BC never, ever traps. No hope for them.
Re: Pre-Season Predictions
Just like how they lost a ton of talent (including John Muse) after the 2011 season...and went on to win the 2012 title? Fool.

You didn't exactly have a net loss in talent because you also added Gaudreau. This year you will see a significant net loss in talent. Unless of course you poach another top-end player late (classy by the way). Not to mention Milner played out of his mind. He'll regress back to his norm.
Again, just preparing you for the inevitable. No team is good every year, and the arrogance of thinking you will be was already trademarked by Gopher fans

Re: Pre-Season Predictions
Now if you'll exuse me, the men's gymnastics team crashed and burned today and I'm not in the best of moods. Going to sit in on a board meeting and then head home. Hopefully Mrs Dubbs will have dinner and a martini waiting for me

Translation: My mom just got home, and is mad because I've been on the internet longer than my allowed 1 hour/day. I'm also upset because I got a snag in my unitard that I wear when I pretend to be a gymnast. I'm going to go watch the neighborhood kids play baseball, and hope that they let me play. Hopefully, I'll get chocolate milk with my spaghetti this evening.

Make sure to remember the condiments, sodas and cookies. And clean up after the execs eat. Maybe there will be a leftover sandwich for you to eat as you push the cart back to potbellies.

Re: Pre-Season Predictions
So adding Gaudreau was greater than or equal to losing Muse, Samuelsson, Gibbons, Whitney, Hayes and Atkinson? LOL. You might want to actually do some research on what happened at Northeastern. Then you'll have your answer as to why Gaudreau himself is the one who opened up his recruitment again. Yes, Milner's numbers most likely will regress, but that will have more to do with losing three defensemen in front of him than anything.
And I agree, no team is good every year. That wasn't your argument.

Sorry, but I'm on the other end of the corporate ladder.

Never said adding Gaudreau evened out the losses. I did say the net loss this year will be greater. And disagree on Milner. He would have regressed to his mean regardless of any defensive losses. Those losses will just perpetuate the issue. BC will be a very average defensive team. And while not average offensively, they will be less potent than last season.
As for the situation a Northeastern, I am well aware. I just don't think a coaching change justifies bailing on a school, and I don't think it was classy of BC to pursue him. Hopefully karma comes around one day.
No. You're not.
Re: Pre-Season Predictions
You are such a fraud. You said, and I quote:
"You didn't exactly have a net loss in talent because you also added Gaudreau." No semantics game you wanna try and play can explain away the actual comment that you made.
As for Gaudreau/NU, sounds like your problem is with Gaudreau himself. HE opened up his recruitment because of the coaching change (which I would never fault any player for doing). So were all other colleges supposed to stay away from him? Ya, that's it, blacklist him from all of college hockey and make him play for a coach/team he doesn't want to play for. It happens all the time in college sports.

Well, I certainly didn't get a house on Prior Lake, a second home on Lake Havasu, and an Azimut-Benetti yacht serving sandwiches.
