Chuck Murray
WIS & Effingwoods Hockey Almanac
Are we talking about the same guy here?? Looks like Gomer Pyle's paisan half-brother, had a long but mediocre NHL career as a scrub, kind of a poor man's Daniel Winnik with a Boston accent, and seems to be doing a good HC impression of Dick Umile on the national stage so far?? I will admit, potty ... it's funny as he11 to read the press release on his extension, inferring somehow that Goober was in the mix for one of the eight NHL head coaching jobs, but he "chose" to stay at BU instead ... after coaching legends such as Marco Sturm, Glen Gulutzan, Jeff Blashill, Adam Foote, Lane Lambert and Dan Muse (the Pride of Stonehill!) among others, scarfed up the high paying NHL HC jobs instead.Buford, as usual, has exquisite timing. BU just announced that Jay Pandolfo signed a long term extension. In all fairness, stupidity is a full time affliction; therefore, everything Buford writes can be disproved instantly irrespective of timing.
“We’re committed to the continued and sustained success of Boston University men’s ice hockey, and that commitment starts with ensuring that Jay remains home as our head coach,” said athletic director Drew Marrochello.
Rest assured, NIL money will be flowing at BU. Funny how schools with endowments of $3.5 billion can sign some employees to lucrative contracts while firing a group of others. The same goes for what the university chooses to fund. BU hockey is rolling in dough.
Oh yeah, that NIL will be flowing, I'm sure those laid off educators will be renewing their season tickets at Agganis just to make sure they can keep poor litt;e Aiden Celibrini flush with cash. Question: What happens when Pandolfo runs out of Hutson brothers?? Gonna find out soon enough, mon ami ...
