James Kilmeady {l Wrote}:Elephant in the room. York is 72 and he's entering into Beamer/Paterno land. They looked horrible this weekend at StCSU. Eleventy million penalties. This is the third year that BC has been heaviliy penalized and this year already looks to be worse than last year. I hate to say it but Mr York might be too old. When they were able to get the puck in the offensive zone this weekend there was no one in front of the net. Doesn't BC have any centremen?

I don’t get the penalties. They’re not a physical team.

They're not a big team, but they take a lot of cheap penalties. I see a lack of discipline.
This weekend:
Elbowing x1
Charging x1
Roughing x2
Cross-Checking x2
Slashing x1

I’m going to the series up in Burlington (will complete all the HE arenas for me).

The Gut is an old-style barn, ECAC feel. I like it. BC seats (benches) are in the corner, near the UVM students, who are loud and obnoxious. First time I'm missing this series because it's over NC St.; it was always in the dead of winter.
Have you seen BC @ UConn? It's always on a Tuesday night, so I've never made it.

BostonCollege1 {l Wrote}:Another two losses this weekend. Tonight vs. DU was painful to watch. Denver is a great team - older, experienced, more talented; BC needed to play an outstanding game, and instead, they gave up 3 PP goals. 1-5-1 to end October.

We can call a spade a spade. This hockey team is bad, very bad

No, they don't have high-end scoring talent, they have the youngest roster in D-1, and they probably played the hardest October schedule in the country.
At best, they're an NCAA bubble team, but they're not god-awful, either.
The never-ending juggernaut at Lowell and the supposed Greatest Team on Earth from the other end of Comm Ave. aren't looking so hot, either. Nor is Frozen Four favorite Penn St.
Dick Rosenthal {l Wrote}:Well, at least they are feasting on the bottom of the Hockey East. While I don’t think this team is any sort of threat for an NCAA title, I think that if they play disciplined hockey, they will be on the bubble with a chance to get in. Woll is really good and gives them a puncher’s chance in any game they can stay out of the box and play decent defense. They will not be particularly fun to watch, but if they grind this won’t be a wasted year.
Dick Rosenthal {l Wrote}:Disagree. They played disciplined hockey through most of the league play and played a tight style through the HE tournament. I thought that would improve by necessity this year. And I’d also point out that the October schedule was absurd, particularly for a team this young and lacking elite talent. I don’t put a lot of stock in the fact that they got worked by St Cloud and Denver. I never saw them as a bottom tier HE team and I suspect when it is all said and done, they will outperform expectations like last year.
What does concern me is that they have whiffed on the elite talent for a few years in a row. I actually don’t put that on York—or at the very least I think he is a small percentage of the problem. The problem largely rests on Brown’s shoulders and to a lesser degree McInnis. They are the mid-forties ex-NHLers who need to be closing kids and I think it is fair to say both have failed the last two years. I don’t know why that is, I knew Marty pretty well when he played on the Island and he was a personable guy—the antithesis of Steve Heinz who I am proud to say I once knocked the fuck out in a bar in LA. Also heard good things about Brown. With that said, they are both Lenny’s guys and Lenny’s reign was marked by wasting an embarrassment of riches at times and following stellar recruiting with utterly miserable years.
Anyway, they are supposed to have an embarrassment of riches coming over the ne t two years. I will be watching to see if it actually arives. We can’t afford and more scumbag dagos like Sonny Milano.

How was it? That’s a lousy UVM team, but BC looked very good this weekend. Great shorty.
