Re: Boston College Eagles 2016-2017 Season Thread

and if BC somehow hangs on to win the title, there is no argument against York. only case is if they stumble to third maybe.

Unless York gets treated like Belichick due to fatigue.

I say he deserves it.

Re: Boston College Eagles 2016-2017 Season Thread

I would agree with that. I think showing improvement counts for something and Jerry has gone the other way with his team.

BC lost 7 outstanding players to the pros including Demko, Woods, and Santini among others. And you're going to comment that his team has "gone the other way"? What a maroon.
York so deserves this award.

Go easy on Drew, he doesn't like York (says more about him than anything else)

He's also stuck with Red Gendron. Tough times.

On-topic side thought:
It's still an absolute brain-melter that York has not won a Penrose at BC. They should just rename the award after him when he retires as a mea culpa for allowing knuckle-dragging troglodytes to cast votes on this award.

I could've sworn York won the Penrose once, in 2008. Who won it that year? And Jerry winning the HE COY is a no brainer. Seriously, two games left in the season with a solid chance for regular season champs after losing so many players, and some of those leaving left late.....how do you not win? I don't think they'll give to Jackson. I don't think ND did anything great or out of the ordinary. If BU manages to eke out the regular season, then maaaaaaaaaybe he has a shot but I don't think he's close to being a favorite.

I think "gone the other way" was in terms of performance down the stretch of this season, not relative to last season...

What if UML pulls off the sweep of BC this weekend and finishes 1st in Hockey East? I would have to think Bazin would have a solid chance at HE COY at that point.

No.

Bingo. If you swapped halfs York would easily win.

I don't dislike him but do think he is very overrated.

That's actually a fantastic idea. He last won a Penrose in 1977. Astounding. As for his BC days, his best shot was probably '98. That went to Tim Taylor at Yale. Led them to first NCAA appearance since the 50s.

Is the voting done after the FF? 2001 was another chance. Dean Blais won it.

Not really sure why but Red Berenson won it.

Here's the list:

Is this your way of saying you'd like to hear more from me ?

Not really but at the same time dumb remarks make for a fun time.

Just read this article this morning. Bob Kraft nailed it:

Envy and jealousy are incurable diseases

Good luck with this Drew, and whatever other diseases you may have.

For a guy that wins a lot of trophies and very few awards, I would find it hard to say he is overrated but... maybe it was one of the other diseases (syndromes?) talking for you.

Ah, okay, so I'm going to nominate Mark Dennehy. Merrimack was pretty bad in the 1st half of the season, but they are unbeaten in their last 8 so that's a "yuge" improvement (even though the 2 wins against BU were primarily due to "lack of focus" by the Terriers)
