      Very impressed you're able to pick up and move those goalposts all by yourself. Body by Boyle?
      Go BU!

Also Rodrigues hasn't been on ice as much with Eichel and is still having a good year. Eichel is taking a lot of shifts because he's the best player in college hockey. There would be a drop off without him, but they'd make up some of the production with the talent they have. Even without Eichel they'd be a winning team, in the running for home ice in HE. With him they d@mn well better win the fvking tournament in the only year he'll be at BU.
        Agreed. That being said there aren't many that can snap a wrist shot and beat a goalie cleanly from that distance like that one Saturday night.

          I'm not quite as optimistic. I'm thinking without Eichel, we are hovering around .500, maybe a game or two under.

            What would BU's record be with two Eichels?

              Eichel needs to go and go #1 in the draft.

              And DQ needs to tell Austin Matthews he can do the same if he comes here next yr

                hoky,

                would you be so kind as to give me your opinion or our incoming class for 2015? will this collection along with an extra year under their belt for the Fr class now help replace some of what goes when Eichel gets drafter?

                Sean MacTavish-RW
                Jordan Greenway-LW
                Maxim Letunov-LC
                Charlie McAvoy-RD
                Bobo Carpenter-RC



                as always, thanks!

                  You are already ruling out the chance that Matthews loves his week at HAA/WBA later this month so much that he just stays for second semester? Stop sandbagging.

                      I wouldn't trade any of our freshmen for Noonan. Are they all better than him already? No, but Grizz, Somerby, and Diffley, have been IMHO. And Hickey is not far behind. Plus, other than MacLeod, I don't have to worry about dumb penalties. I was honestly as happy to lose Noonan, as I was MacGregor - he just seemed to carry a bad vibe for the team.

                      Eichel is irreplaceable. Without him, I would guess we'd be at about 7-6 or 6-7. Still better than last year. The Olsson loss has hurt a lot, IMHO.

                        Jakob Forsbacka-Karlsson-C no clue
                        Sean MacTavish-RW solid+
                        Jordan Greenway-LW not suited for D 1, better pro but will be solid
                        Maxim Letunov-LC Very good
                        Charlie McAvoy-RD 85% Prviterra

                          Don't forget about the losses of Rodrigues and Hohmann. They are a major part of this team even if you don't always notice them.

                          I agree (there are definitely some freshman I'd trade for Noonan). Noonan had that one great offensive year as a sophomore and all the sudden everyone started thinking he was a star defenseman. Scoring goals doesn't make you good at defense. I don't understand why no one seems to appreciate a stay-at-home defenseman who doesn't take stupid penalties and keeps the puck away from the net. He definitely provided a physical presence in the d-zone and he could score, but as an actual defenseman, he was overrated.

                            You are about to see a solid freshman class with Merrimack as well.
