    Wow, Bottom Three? I don't believe that. Though I do believe this BU team just isn't that good. Defense and Goal, there's plenty to work with. The Forward group is the main problem. What BU forward does any opponent have to really fear? Nobody has replaced Keller as that guy. Greenway's good but just not a 'scorer'. Harper is fun but can't do things by himself. Young Tkachuk has plenty to work on and is nowhere near ready to play pro, even if he goes in the top half of the first round. Carpenter is solid and reliable but not a gunner. Bowers and Cockerill show promise and could be much better in the second half. I'd be surprised if BU isn't at least in the running for the last first round bye. Not what BU fans expect but that might be where they're at for this season.

          Does anyone understand this move? Anyone? It’s not like they are thin at forward.

            While I can certainly understand the frustration here with yet another loss, honestly I don't think BU played a bad game last night. The score could easily have gone the other way.

              They are thin at scoring forwards.

                  I gotta say, this BU has me at a loss. Having watched them the first BC game at Conte, they looked fast, breakouts were crisp, their passing was on point, Harper was buzzing around everywhere. The talent and the potential were obvious. Then they've turned back into a pumpkin. I don't know why this team is not able to perform at the upper end of their range on a more regular basis, but no doubt if I were a BU fan, I would be VERY frustrated with this team as many of you clearly are.

                            Maybe some scarlet tinted glasses on me, but the Hickey hit didn't seem as bad as they were making it seem on TV.

                            Regardless, I am very disappointed in this team as a whole.

                              Yeah, that would be my thought! Is it not available on demand after the fact? I'm trying to figure out if it's worth it to go tonight. The streets are fine now but will they be bad at 10 tonight? I can watch the game from home for free. But on the other hand, they lost last night so a 7-goal outburst tonight is ensured.

                                It was horrible from a situational awareness standpoint. That play will result in a penalty 100% of the time, thus putting his team down two men. For a captain to make that play is incredibly stupid and sets a terrible example. Whether it's a two or a five is a different argument, but in the college game that hit is called every single time and Hickey has to know that especially when his team is already down a man.
                                ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
