Re: Providence College...the battle goes on...Boston twice in 15

OK, do any of my Providence friends know Stefan Demopoulos' parents and know if they come to games at all? And if you do could you point me in their direction? I'll be headed down there on the 31st and would love to meet them. Saw the pictures on Twitter of him scoring last night. I almost made it my new cover photo!! :)

Bad time for injuries but it could be a plus for the guys who would not get the experience normally.....these games really are not as important as the ones in December and beyond....Go Friars make sure they know we were there !!!!

Disagree with you 100 percent as these games OOC are very important for an NCAA bid....

PC wasn't a lock the year they lost the final game of the regular season vs Lowell....because they had lost all the OOC games

No Janko this weekend as he is not flying....Wonder if PC will let me take his seat on the plane

If Hockey East teams lose most of their OOC games, it will be no different than the Atlantic Hockey Conference... only the auto bid (playoff champ) will get into the NCAA's.

At that point, neither OOC or conference games will matter. You'd still have to win the conference auto bid to get in. Do you want to roll the dice that your team will absolutely smoke every other Hockey East opponent in the playoffs? Even with the post season success of my team over the last decade and a half, I don't.

Exactly

You have to get something positive out of this situation and playing the reserves is just that

3-0...looks like Gilies and the Friars continue to fail when the pressure is on...what a joke that this team was expected to win Hockey East!
 
Re: Providence College...the battle goes on...Boston twice in 15

Welcome to the big leagues fellas. ZLax lighten up, sheesh! The season is not down the toilet already.
 
Re: Providence College...the battle goes on...Boston twice in 15

Make that 4-0....Gillies continues to play like absolute trash...

Saw it last week the difference in talent between a top level squad with the u-18 squad and what PC has...USA had 9 forwards that are all better players right now than PC has....

The negativity was warranted when they were perennial bottom feeders. You are throwing in the towel after what, 2.5 games. They are playing the #3 team in their barn and the Sioux, I mean, they were are Frozen Four team last year. Let's have some patience.

Yet, you overlook how bad Ohio State only scored two goals last weekend vs Miami and needed a goalie to make 60 saves or the 2-1 score would have been worse....

We knew this would be a tough start but Gillies isn't playing like an All-American right now and if they are going to compete...his game needs to rise up.

Do we really need to see an Eichel show next week? I am fearing a huge weekend for him like 5 goals and 3 assists and PC does what they did in 2001-2002 and head back into mediocre hockey.
