BU offseason thread - this begs some questions!

Re: BU offseason thread - this begs some questions!

Same with Colin Wilson, he was the best forward in the country during his sophomore year, when he was young enough that he could've been a freshman instead. But he was a 1st round pick.

I have to admit that Wilson's NHL career has been disappointing to me - I expected him to be able to do more, based on how good he looked that sophomore year. I thought he would slot in as a dependable two way forward with a nice scoring touch - 2nd line material.

McEachern's OTGWG v Maine in the 1991 HEA finals is still one of my favorites.

What they did to us 3 weekends later was not nice.

I'm confused by your last statement - do you mean what NMU did to BU? Or are you a Clarkson fan and mean what BU did to you? Or was 3 weekends the Michigan series?

He’s a Clarkson fan.

3 weekends after the HEA final was the NCAA final 4.

Weekend 1: byes for Maine & BU
Weekend 2: Quarterfinals
Weekend 3: Under the glass boards at St. Paul.

Hmmmm. Only four players with a gpa over 3.0 last year? Is that a typical number?

Summer plus: reading about the newcomers on terrierhockey blogspot (What happened to Evan Tironese?)

Summer minus: Four guys above 3.0 gpa? Must hit the books! Maybe Albie can point out the value of the education...

Re: BU offseason thread - this begs some questions!

When might we reasonably expect a decision from Brady Tkachuk on his plans moving forward? I think another year (at a minimum) at BU would be best for adding strength, filling out, and starting to put up the numbers that build confident, assured play....

5 days ago still undecided.

Brady Tkachuk (OTT) is listed on the Boston University team roster for 2018-19, but he told me he hasn't yet decided where he'll play next season. He is expected to join Team USA at the World Jr Summer Showcase in Kamloops later this month.

When I read that Mike Morreale tweet last week, I thought he said "Brady hasn't told me yet where he'll play next season" as if to say he was the one that was going to get the info to Brady for him to share with others and I was like "why are you the person that's going to get this information out to everyone???" I had to read it three times to realize what he was saying.

Regardless of my small lapse of reading comprehension, I hope he makes a decision soon. I think it will suck for him to wait till August. No wait...it will suck for the team/coaches if he doesn't make his decision till August.

I want to buy my Comm Ave Classic tickets, but according to the Comm Ave Classic Twitter feed, there are only going to be BC players playing in it, and Brandon Hickey apparently.
