BU 2017 Season Thread III: Terriers falling (into the off season)

McAvoy's gone. I'm holding out home that Hickey decides to stay for his Senior year. I feel that's the most important "stay" right now.

If he leaves can I have your home?

I hope he stays, but with what we have returning and who is coming in, I think we will still be all set on D.

JFK is the most important "stay" in my book. If we lose Keller, Greenway, and JFK, I will have concerns about our offense next year just as I had this season.

I wouldn't be shocked if Hickey returns. Ditto with JFK, although I think he's a higher flight risk.

I think Greenway should return for 1 more year, especially given his inconsistent play following the WJCs, but I think he's likely to go and is also the most physically ready.

Another great year by norm. Adding to that frozen for win total. Let's see including today's game ......that would still be zero total frozen four wins. Best coach in the nation and yet unable to win a frozen four game. Unable to beat a number four seed in basically a home game 30 miles from his arena. Yes we should all aspire to be as good as UMass Lowell.

Normile?

Normile?

I see what you did there.

hope as many come back as possible, but there wasn't a lot of improvement individually.

jfk went from 30 pts last year to 33 this season.
greenway 26 to 31.
bobo 12 goals to 14.
cloonan 14pts to 6.

McAvoy 25 to 26...most 2nd assists on a dreadful first PP...clearly first team all Hockey East

kids who have left are not really a concern for next season.

Unlike last year, when 2nd assists on the Power Play were not counted.

First it's his lack of goals, now it's that his assists aren't really that good either. This obsession is getting a little ridiculous.

What year did BU lose to Minnesota in the NCAAs when they were at campus sites? Was it 86 or 87?

It was 1986, a week after beating BC, 9-4 for HE title. Quinn, Young, Cullen, Donatelli, Taillafer, etc.

The previous season had a forfeit win against Michigan Tech in which MTU left the ice trailing 5-1. What was the issue?

He had most of his points last year on secondary assists also but the first unit PP was better with Matt running it...and 8 goals in two years is not very good for a so called #1 elite defenseman nor is 51 points in 2 years...and if you think he was a shut down D then you weren't watching....sorry if I judge play on the ice by watching not listening to non stop praise from the NHL USA propoganda machine...he was a young very talented D man who was handed the number #1 spot but did not play or produce as a college #1....doesn't mean he won't be a good NHL D when they reign him in but he is not a big loss for BU...the obsession is with non stop praise..not me...this team will be much more productive from the back end with Fabbro running the first PP unit and picking up more of McAvoy's minutes.
