    Impressive top-corner snipe by Farabee today for his second goal of the tournament. Will add video if found. A recent draft profile:
    Farabee is a very high- energy, big–effort player with skill…he never stops moving his feet or finding ways to try to be a factor on the ice…has jersey-flapping speed…his ability to change pace is impressive and allows him to stay elusive…possesses good puck control, and has a dogged willingness to take the puck to the net…has creative hands and can pull a skilled one-on-one move to gain space…moves the puck around the ice extremely well, connecting with good strong passes that lead his linemates effectively…not scared to shoot the puck when presented the opportunity…has a quick release but lacks velocity on his shot at this stage…keeps moving in the offensive zone, and that creates a lot of space and time for he and his teammates, and in doing so he generates a lot of offensive opportunities…he excels in all zones, providing his team with a tireless work ethic, strong defensive play, and some offensive flair…has the low-end potential of a strong third liner with speed who can help a penalty kill, or a high-end upside as a top-six scorer who can contribute on special teams.” - Future Considerations

      Team USA with their second loss...maybe this isn't their year. Despite all the talent on that top PP unit (Hughes, Wahlstrom, Farabee, Wise), they aren't very creative - need to move the bodies around too, not just the puck.

        US took silver in the World U18s, losing, 3-2, to Finland in the final. Farabee named to top three on US squad with 4G, 4A.

          Hearing Max Willman to @TerrierHockey is done deal. Graduates from Brown this month, will be grad student at BU
          LW Willman, a 2014 Sabres draft pick, played only 9 games last season due to injury. As a junior, scored 26 points for a 4-win Brown team.

              Since this cat has been let out of the bag, I will post it here also. I guess that Quinn must have liked Drew Melanson since he is apparently going to Troy to get a player again. Since ET received a medical redshirt for his Freshmen year, he probably has two years of eligibility left.

                Tironese's decision was largely influenced by how much Melanson enjoyed his experience with Quinn and the BU program. I understand that Tironese, a center who will be a strong candidate for a top-six role, will have two years of eligibility as a Terrier. Interestingly, he's from the same Br. Columbia hometown as Connor LaCouvee and played for the same BCHL team.

                    Since no announcement has been made, I wonder if Tironese was the casualty of Tkachuk's decision to come back? Was Quinn going to take on 3 post-grad players?

                      Depending on the Masters program he is pursuing, he may complete his studies while he still has eligibility. Can he still play after he has a graduate degree?

                        There's no limit to the number of degrees one can achieve - students are limited only by their minds. I understand those limitations are a little more stringent at Northleastern than at BU.

                          Yeah, I am curious to see who does/doesn't make the cut. Also, a pretty curious decision by Tkachuk. Would think he'd have to wait to see who drafts him and what they want him to do. He either made the decision on his own that he likes BU and is coming back no matter what, or he is going to use it as leverage as to either when he is picked or how much money he signs for. Maybe he just has the same opinion that we do - he is not ready and won't be for at least another year.

                            The Mack Report already confirmed it was Larsson that has his offer pulled. Not sure yet whether he ends up back at Merrimack or with another school he showed interest in

                              Could also be that the NHL scouts have told him that leaving now would be the wrong move for him. It was clear to anyone with two eyes last season that he's not ready to move onto an NHL roster and has a lot of physical and skill development to do. Loads of raw talent. He's also so young that it's entirely possible he's not done growing physically yet. Another year of development in college is the right move for him, that would put him on track to enter the pros right after his 20th birthday - no rush.
                              ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

                                You must be referring to the more stringent entrance requirements at NU

                                BTW, NU appears to have picked up Austin Plevy from UMass. Must have been an outstanding student!
