Re: BU 2017 Season Thread II: Terriers rising
If you saw it you'd feel awful. Jake was fine, no problems. The defense was unspectacular but not horrendous. Lowell is a good team and is going to get their chances.
The offense has regressed to a point that it is downright putrid. Yes, Lowell's system makes it really tough to generate offense and they deserve credit for shutting us down. That was some of the worst play on a power play I've seen in years. I don't know what is going on with Greenway - I almost hope he's battling an injury or sickness because I've never seen him get manhandled behind the net and play so passively in front of the net as he has over the past few weeks. He's become a total nonfactor. I would not be opposed to him being benched Monday night if there's no health issue in play. Two plays stick out where a loose puck was behind the net and he and a UML player went for it at the same time. Both times the UML guy easily got position on him and knocked Jordan to the ground. Completely uncharacteristic for him. These kids don't have a killer instinct yet nor do I see a desire to win for the team. I have no idea whether they have one foot out the door to the NHL - I'm not in their minds - but their play exudes that of a group of talented pieces who are uncoordinated and unmotivated to win for one another.
