At the very least, a chance to solidify your Hockey East positioning for when the league has it's royal rumble to determine the one NCAA tournament team
    I can't imagine there is any way we can get an at large at this point (even if we win the rest of our games), but I haven't tried to figure that out. Given the talent on this team, all I am hoping for is that we get things figured at the right time and win the HE tourney. It doesn't help that Greenway will be gone for a big chunk of that time.

      I don't think Greenway is much of a loss.

        This team is not going to the NCAA's. Their ceiling is to make the Garden for the Hockey East Semi's. As Bill Parcells used to say: "You are what your record says you are."

          The way he has played to date, I agree, he ins't a big loss. But if we were to get on some kind of run, I think he would be a key piece of it. SO it would suck if he found his game, helped us get a nice run started, and then had to leave.

            BU's PWR won't get high enough to get an at-large but with the more favorable schedule BU should finish in the top 4 in Hockey East and get a first round bye. BU is 5th in HEA winning percentage right now so it is definitely attainable. Once you get into the Garden who knows. NU, and to a lesser extent PC, are frontrunners right now but are beatable IMO. Should BU accomplish the surprise, I would expect a first round exit to {insert some NCHC team here} in the NCAAs.

            Losing Greenway will hurt more than some think (even if he doesn't score his size opens opportunities), some people didn't think we'd miss McAvoy that much and I think the results speak for themselves. At least it gives players that will be coming back next season some more playing time.

              We may suck, but we shouldn't be on page 2.

                      BU doesn't miss McAvoy that much ... because the McAvoy playing for the Bruins never played like that for the Terriers.

                      Maybe he tried to do too much at BU.

                            I think he did try to do too much. It also helps his NHL game to be playing alongside Chara.

                                I don't really get this criticism of McAvoy when he was playing for BU. He's not a flashy player, now or when he was at BU. He isn't the kind of player that will win games single-handed, like Eichel or Keller (or even Carpenter). I don't know that we've ever had a defenseman that could do that, maybe Shattenkirk or Gilroy. McAvoy had a rough first half of his freshman year, but from then on he was really pretty good.
