    Correct on location. I don’t know the exact ownership details but yes they are related... same menu, logo etc etc

      The menu isn't 100% the same, Tap focused more on beer where Cantina is more margarita and tequila-focused. But the food was generally the same. Tap was sold a few years ago by the original owner and there were some issues there with it. Cantina very, very recently expanded the place, nearly doubling its size. I doubt they're going anywhere any time soon.
      ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

        Didn’t realize the original owner had sold. Sounds like they are both owned by some restaurant group.

            wow, who knew he'd be able to excel against 17 and 18 year olds with little emphasis on defense.

                We said that about Coyle too. Not that I disagree with your sentiment.

                The fact that you BC fans revel in the superiority of your team in an admittedly weak league leads me to believe you will be more sorely disappointed when the end comes than we will.

                  I'm glad it worked out for Coyle. He's having a pretty good NHL career. But I think if he had stuck it out at BU, he'd have ended up still having a pretty good NHL career. I imagine it'll work out in the end for Bellows, too, and it would've if he had stayed at BU.

                      Here is the official release on the ASU game change. Not sure why we didn't do this in the first place. But glad the visiting fans will have a better chance to see their team. Hope you all enjoy your trip to the Valley!

                          I agree that Coyle likely would have still had a good NHL career if he had stayed at BU. He had a very solid freshman season, he was just in a rut the first half of his sophomore season. I'm not so sure about Bellows. He did NOT have a good freshman season, at least good enough to show he is a future NHLer. His biggest strength was supposed to be his shot, but he wasn't able to create enough space for himself to really leverage it.

                          I really hope he finds success and makes it, but I have my doubts. I think he would have developed into a good college player had he stayed. Beyond that, who knows.

                            The issues Bellows faced at BU are not similar to the ones Coyle had. Bellows had every opportunity to play and succeed here, but consistently underachieved, had difficulty adjusting to college-level defensive schemes, was very undisciplined on the ice in the first half of the season, and looked very much like a player who needed time to develop into a college-level player. Coyle looked like he belonged in college from his first game here, never had major penalty issues, and while he needed some adjustment, wasn't two steps behind the pace of the game. He was also playing under Parker's somewhat arcane offensive system that undeniably hindered his offensive ability. Moving to major junior allowed this part of his game to flourish and he succeeded. You cannot make the same argument that Quinn's offensive scheme hindered Bellows's ability to use his offensive skills. It seemed more that he just wasn't ready to compete at a high level in college. A year or two of solid development absolutely could've brought him to that point here.

                              Yes, there is normally a live stream from our student broadcast department. It is a decent broadcast and is for free.

                                also like to think charlie was embarrassed at the chitshow his teammates were engaging in and was able to escape (while sadly other guys w/o similar options were stuck).
