BU 2013-14 (Part II): Crash before the Phoenix

[mookie1995]

Bazin played at Lowell so he might be comfortable there. The real issue right now is how has BU become so bad so quickly...

Good question!

DQ stood in the club room and told donors that this was not a rebuilding situation. Pieces were in place and the pipeline was full.

Oh well. We're in pretty good position for the draft lottery.

For those paying attention the answer is simple. This was at best a .500 team to start the season. What's left after injuries is a depleted lineup with 4 or 5 kids who are playing regular shifts that probably are a year away from doing so. Simply not enough across the board talent to stay competitive for an entire game

I just follow from a distance but from a 21-16-2 mark to this is embarrassing. Did Parker and the assistants just stop recruiting all last year?

I believe the word is a 'confluence' of events. The problems last year. A few early departures and injuries to key players. And in my opinion a few newcomers that aren't ready to play as much as they've been forced to. Add it all up they've got a 25 man roster now down to 19 or 20 healthy players including the 3 goalies.

It took 17 minutes to register a shot on goal.
Maguire single-handidly keeps BU in the game, again.
Oksanen now also injured.
Not enough real players. Not enough players, period.

A little prediction about Lowell - Colorado College is going to fire Scott Owens at the end of the season, and will make a serious run at Norm Bazin, who previously coached there. Does he prefer to live and work around Lowell, or Colorado? That'd be the question.
If Bazin goes, Lowell will slip back considerably.

There is about a 0% chance that Bazin leaves Lowell.

Lowell is not a final destination job. Bazin won't likely bail for CC, but he will certainly go to the Nhl is he continues his success

Just an amazing job he's done with that program

For the first time, I agree with you. NHL is the only way he leaves

I agree there!

We have more to offer than CC does.

I have a hard time seeing him leave for CC. If the NHL comes calling, head coach that is (a push) 0% chance he stays.

Stunned they didn't give Tommy Kelley a game disqualification for that spear! It was only a Spear and Misconduct

I thought spearing was an automatic 1 game DQ.

Hopefully Ahti Oksanen will be ok.

No arguments if it's an NHL job. I should amend my statement to "0% chance Bazin leaves for another college job".

Re: BU 2013-14 (Part II): Crash before the Phoenix

Never say never. If a plum NCAA job like a Minnesota or BC were to call on him, he would be gone. Likelihood is the NHL eventually but that can be said for any coach today excluding Berenson, York or Jackson

I like this response better he's owning it. The "confluence of events " explanation is a cop out .
