OK.... I think it is safe to say parker did this to kick start the F's. To say otherwise is foolish and as the great one would say, not factual. Parker's comments are though factual...
Disappointed with the production he had received out of his top line, Boston University men’s hockey coach Jack Parker stacked the primary unit with three of his club’s most dynamic players for Saturday night’s affair with the University of New Hampshire. Freshman forward Alex Chiasson and his team-leading four goals were added to Friday night’s pairing of junior center Nick Bonino and sophomore forward-defenseman David Warsofsky on BU’s starting line, a combination that was intended to kick offensive lulls and reinvigorate the attack with each new shift
I thought Bonino came out of it a little bit tonight. He got his legs back a little bit tonight, made some plays,” Parker said.
But as the game progressed, Warsofsky was needed elsewhere, and the goal proved to be that unit’s only of the evening.
Thus, Parker employed a different formula to try and ensure the most beneficial spread.
“We just rotated four lines with three left wings, so sometimes it was [sophomore Ross] Gaudet, sometimes it was [senior] Zach Cohen, sometimes it was [sophomore Andrew] Glass,” Parker said. “It was one of those three. Those three played, and the rest of the other four lines played for the most part until the very end.
“So, it was four lines with three left wings. Mostly every time a line went out, a center went out, he had a different left wing, but it kept those guys in the game.”
The go-to explanation for this team has been that the talent is there –*– they just haven’t managed to put it all together, yet.
