If we lose Folin that would suck, but I'd offer the alternative reality where we don't have his time at all. I've often said I'd gladly take world junior level players knowing full well that we'll lose them over the holiday stretch of games. Its a trade-off. Same thing with a player who goes pro after a season or two.

Now, what I wish the players would do is to stop making claims about wanting to be a 4 year college level player with the intent of graduation. Its disingenuous and I don't like that, personally. Obviously, there's nothing to stop a player/student from doing so but to me its more along the line of "don't take us for idiots". A player/student has every financial reason to claim they'll be in school through graduation. It means teams would have to throw around more money to get the player. I suppose I naively value honesty in a world that more and more shuns honesty as an act by fools.

How many of those kids are coming out publicly to a legit source saying 4 yrs all the way and how many are from rumor? I always wonder that. We have seen in here people saying a player is saying 4 yrs and others who say the same player is not.

So I am a secondary source on this, it comes from one of the Hawk Squawk guys, but Folin has repeatedly stated, since the offer made to him late last April, that he would be sticking around until he got a degree. At one point it was said his father would not let him leave until he gets a degree. Note, its a degree and not four years. I expect that if he sticks around next year he will be gone when Lowell's season ends.

I think as long as the player is being honest with the coaching staff, that's the biggest thing I'm concerned about. What I worry about is if Folin was telling Coach Bazin that he's sticking around and we're not looking to back-fill that spot for that reason.

I'm assuming Bazin's looking for defensemen anyway, since I think we're going to have like 2 next season. :)

Some rumors of some suspensions coming for BU players this weekend. Just rumors at this point, but if true, this gives NU a good shot at a sweep.

0-0 after 2. PC up 3-1 over ME and Merrimack and BU both up 2-0!! It'd be huge if they all of those stayed that way.

Watching the feed, I have no idea how Lowell didn't score at the end of regulation. Looked like Arnold (?) had a couple of quality looks and put the last one wide.
