    That mini one on one stardom went to his head at an early age! Ya I'd say you might be able to get 2 years out of him but that's it.

      He was 13 years old when he verbally committed to Maine. Anyone who thinks a commitment from a 13 year old is anything other than theoretical is living in a complete fantasy land.

        I'd take the 2 years of him. Or even the 1 if he's really that good. However, while BC is no Harvard as far as admissions go, given the multiple instances of recruits not getting through admissions at BC, I don't think I'd be that confident about him getting through BC's admissions either.

        Also, I hate to have to say this, if it comes down to between BC and BU, we don't seem to win very many of those battles nowadays.

          Remember, though, admissions at Harvard are a different animal. They're not always looking for the highest grades. They are looking for "specialists." For example, if you are an All-State musician and the best trumpet player in the state, they will admit you, even if you don't rank #1 in your class. They are NOT looking for the "well-rounded" person (i.e., the person who has an arm's length long list of "clubs" and "activities" they have belonged to). So you can't assume that just because he was recruited by Harvard that he is an academic genius and/or "beyond" BC's "standards." He may very well fit the admissions standards at BC, not because they are necessarily easier, but because they are different.

            Given how late it is, I would think both schools would have to make some changes to their plans (in terms of scholarships), which could make it challenging to even be able to offer. And then there is the question of what he wants in terms of being the BMOC. Does he want to share the limelight with other first round picks Tkachuk and Farabee? Or would he rather be the clear #1 guy?

                  You got that right. Pathetic. Five goals on twenty shots.

                    So I was looking through the stats page on Hockey East Online, and I found it interesting that Jake Oettinger and Joe Woll are tied for dead last in overall save percentage with save percentages of .904. But when you look only at conference stats, Oettinger is dead last, with a save percentage of .903, and Joe Woll is sixth, with a save percentage of .915. So at least Woll has been getting a little better! I can't fathom how Oettinger is dead last though. He has such a skilled defense in front of him. Makes no sense.

                      Yet Swayman didn’t get in a game at the WJC while being clearly the hottest goalie of the three this season

                        He's young. Probably we will poop. But we have a couple youngsters that can score and snipe. And a host of crash forward types. Should be exciting. Can wait to watch.

                            BC showed UMass what a Jekly and Hyde team we are. We are consistently inconsistent and yet BC has a chance to win first place if they can take care of business with Maine.

                            On the other hand, if they don't, that is not unexpected either.

                            I just hope in the Fall, we have good fresh blood to bolster our offense and defense. Some of our regulars could use some bench time for their lackluster play partcularly in nonconference games ((

                              Remember how Eichel made BU so much better in his one year and almost a NCAA. Let's hope BC's luck changes regarding top recruits because they need it. 2 years of not making the NCAA is tough let alone a 3rd if he goes elsewhere.

                                God himself, Jeremy Swayman, gets pulled and mere mortal Joe Woll gets a shutout. BC can now win the title with a win Friday. If that happens and York isn't unanimous COTY, you should have your vote taken away.
