We know no Harper, but getting Cockerill back should be a help.
The comment that Quinn eventually moved Crone off the first two lines still begs the question, what took him so long to move up Cockerill?

Logan took a little while to come into his own and be ready for top two line minutes. That said, he's come along really well and deserves it.

This is the first time all year I can remember feeling good about a lineup. They should stick with these lines here on out.

At this point, you gotta admit it's kinda hilarious how bad this team is. David Quinn is literally a moron.

[mookie1995]

Agreed. This team isn’t good isn’t average but bad. Absolutely has no semblance of a cohesive unit. I hope and expect Quinn to step aside. Worst BU team since 2000

Hope and expect

LOL come on guys.

So this team that is top 20 in the Pairwise and 5 games above .500 is worse than:

2001 team that was 14-20-3
2004 team that was 12-17-9
2008 team that was 19-17-4
2010 team that was 18-17-3
2014 team that was 10-21-4

Re: Boston University 17-18 - thread El Segundo

Prediction on attendance tonight and tomorrow? I'll go with ~2,400 tonight and ~2,700 tomorrow.

Virtually the same as last year, but they were playing against NU which I suspect brings more local fans.

Might be closer to the 1750 and 1900 of 2 seasons ago.

Not that I'm "predicting," but it might be a little more than you think. Storrs is not that far away and they have a pretty solid core fan base. My guess would be definitely more (UConn fans) on Saturday, especially if they steal one Friday.

Those were first round playoff games, not quarterfinal games. Since Agganis has opened BU has hosted 26 quarterfinal games with an average of 3,447 and a median of 3,578. Attendance for the 2 quarterfinal series under Coach Quinn have been much lower with and average of 2,338 and a median of 2,265, but still better than the first round series of 2 seasons ago.

1,774 tonight. Well my reasoning may have been flawed, but my prediction was correct!

1900 at NU- 2100 at Prov-2400 at BC
The way hockeyeast set up the playoffs is a joke

Don’t forget, Jofa doesn’t really cheer for BU

Coach says hi.

So do we sweep them tomorrow or does it go 3 games?

What is with the “I hope Quinn steps aside.”? Coaches don’t step aside. They do get fired. Isn’t that more realistic?

Re: Boston University 17-18 - thread El Segundo

Expectations matter.

Yeah, you beat me to it. A better word (as opposed to "bad") might have been "underachieving." You have to give them credit for coming back tonight and showing some determination. I think, though, that given the purported talent level, people are surprised that everything is this difficult. I'll leave it to others to speculate why that may be...

[Tater]

Expectations matter.

As far as judging coaches’ performance? Sure. However Jofa’s statement that this is the worst team since 2000 is pretty cut and dry. There is no qualification for expectations there.

Bad? I would disagree. Doesn’t mean I think they’re great either. Underachieving? Definitely agree. Worst BU team since 2000? Absolutely not.
