    Not necessarily.... Goalies, IMO, don't tend to get pulled early due to the uncertainty in their progression. Also, as its a singular position I think teams tend to keep plans on who to bring in when. You don't want a guy like this sitting on an ECHL roster.

    I reserve the right to be wrong. All kinds of things tend to get said around players like these.

        Happy Birthday, Pat!

        In regards to the goalie question... I'd love to see an analysis of the kids that were drafted before starting college and see how many stick for four years.

          Anyone concerned about the weather forecast for Saturday? What are the contingency plans if rain and 50+m degree weather arrive? I don't see how they could maintain the ice in that

            I believe the contingency plan is Sunday.

              We could have three players hit milestones by the end of this season:

              Senior Joe Pendenza is 5 points from hitting the 100 point mark, Senior Derek Arnold is 10 points away and Junior Scott Wilson is 11 points away.

                Current pairwise has a whopping 6 HE teams in the top 16. And #17 and #18 are also from HE.

                  Needless to say, that'll start to come down as we start beating on each other... Unless the schedule strength is that big of a deal

                    The forecast doesn't look quite as bad now. It won't be ideal, but Saturday looks to be in the upper 40s with drizzle and a few showers. The steady and heavier rain likely holds off until evening. They'd better hope the BU/Maine game doesn't slow down.

                      Northeastern on Saturday and then Maine & BU next Friday & Saturday at the Tsongas. To say the next week is important would be a major understatement.

                      Northeastern is playing really well and already took the 1st meeting. The game on Saturday at Fenway will be a major challenge.

                      Maine hasn't won on the road and BU looks like they are in a major downward spiral so Lowell should take the points next weekend.
                      Let's go Lowell.

                        A very reliable source has told me that they will likely make a decision on the games by midday today. Right now, there are 3 possibilities:


                        1. Bump the games up to an even earlier start time.
                        2. Move them to Sunday, when conditions should be much better.
                        3. Keep the times as-is and hope they can get everything in.

                        I was told that #3 is extremely unlikely at this point.

                          I was scratching my head at the first change. What did 45 minutes earlier get them? They said it was to allow people to watch the Pats but fans who stay until the end of BU-ME won't make the footbal game unless they watch it in Kenmore Sq.

                            I was told that the game times are being bumped to Noon and 3pm now. It's not official yet though. Don't know what that would mean for the pregame stuff at the Cask n Flagon.

                            Of course, the better idea would be to move the games to Sunday, since the rain will likely be into Boston before dinnertime, possibly as early as 1 or 2pm now.

                              Jeez. Are they going to refund people that can't make it now?
