    Is it just me and my iPad or is that not a live link? I’m curious now as to what it is.

He basically skated toward the bench motioning with his glove for the back-up goalie to come in. A definite off-night for a usually very good goalie. I think the wonder twins were on that team as well, as I believe Martin St. Louis was stoned on a breakaway.
      Thomas was a talented goaltender. He was also a "bag of squirrels."

That Harvard team was loaded with Donato, Ciavaglia, Bourbeau, and of course went on to win the national championship that year.
        I'll never forget Lane McDonald scoring one of the goals against us in that game, while on his knees with his back to the goal. Unbelievable.

          I've seen both tweets and Facebook posts about hoping BU keeps up their momentum of their weekend split/4-game winning streak/6-game unbeaten streak going into Monday's Beanpot. I'm hoping this messaging isn't anywhere near the team as they should be looking to keep that momentum going into FRIDAY'S GAME AGAINST UMASS! It would truly suck to go into Monday's Beanpot following a loss. I get trying to build excitement but there won't be any on my part if they lose on Friday.

            I actually thought about him, but couldn't remember for sure that he was on that team, and was too lazy to look it up.

                Speaking of the Lappins, Pete's son plays for ASU.

                  Maintaining about focus during the Friday night game before the Beanpot semi has concerned BU coaches back to Jack Kelley and probably before that. Quinn's been repeating the mantra about the team having dug itself into a hole and that they're "running out of time" (to put conference wins on the board). With BU's competitors for first-round byes all having games in hand, the urgency to win conference games is obvious. It's up to the Coaches and captains to make sure that's understood throughout the locker room.

                  Quickly reviewing the archives, it seems BU has a very high percentage of wins in the pre-BP game. (I'd imagine Sean Pickett can produce culmulative won-loss figures since 1954). In the past five years, BU is 3-1-1 in those games. The loss was to UMass is Parker's final season; the tie was also with UMass in Quinn's first year. BU was a perfect 5-0 the previous five seasons. In recent years, either UMass or Merrimack has been the opponent, except in 2011, when it was Lowell.

                    Krys is ruled out of tomorrow's game against UMass. Harper is a game-time decision according to Coach Quinn

                        Krys hurt early in 1st ASU game. Upper-body injury.

                        Harper fell ill shortly after returning from WJCs. Glad to hear he might feel well enough to return to lineup.

                          A lot of good stories. Especially for those of us that were there that year. Things we didn't know, and great memories.

                          The game recaps aren't stale. My only minor complaint ... you could play a drinking game with how many times that we are told that Parker is from Somerville, and the Townies can't get mentioned without a reminder of where they are from.

                          But overall, quite a good read. BU fans will love it. And newer BU fans will learn a lot of history.

                            I need to get a copy of that book. Sorry I missed the game when the author was onsite at Agganis.

                            Tonight's game is on NESN. When did that happen?? I didn't think any HE games were going to be on TV. Beats making the trip out to Amherst.

                              This blogpost from the '78 Reunion Weekend has links to a chapter from the book and a book review by one of this board's posters, plus a short Q&A with author Tim Rappleye with the backstory on the book.
