Originally posted by brassbonanza View PostYou neglect to consider (don't know?) that O'Connor graduated last spring, so he had every incentive to leave and go pro.

Has anyone suggested Schneider threw the game against MSU in 2007? Miami in 09? That Michigan goalie in 2011? This is nonsense.
I'm not claiming to know those answers - just to point out there is more than one way to look at it.
As far as the other teams/goalies you cite ... were any of their teammates ever suspended afterwards for a gambling-related offense? Probably, it's just an unlucky coincidence for BU. But it does create an awkward "elephant in the room" situation, and that's what keeps me at probably instead of definitely and nonsense.
All I'm saying is while I still need to see more to believe fixing/shaving happened, I struggle to see the purported evidence of tears and now an undergrad degree/graduate admission as conclusive in an exculpatory way.
I am not in the "guilty" camp, and I am not in the "not guilty" camp. I need to see more, either way. And yes, I admit and accept that as further information comes out, players with other D-1 schools (including UNH) could become implicated as well. I did some reading on the CCNY scandal this morning, and it ended up involving a LOT more than CCNY once the dust had settled on that situation. That's my fear here ... and it's not a "BU thing". It's a D-1 hockey and HE thing.

Originally posted by Jofa View Postthose goalies didn't throw the puck in their own net so not comparable and there was no following story about former players involved in a gambling ring on those teams. Though its extremely likely that OC was no more then a choking dog if he is named later as one of the gamblers tell me none of you wouldn't at least think about it for a minute .Sworn Enemy of the Perpetually Offended

Originally posted by brassbonanza View PostI suspect they will for a bit so long as there aren't many games being played and there's little else for anyone else to talk about, especially with the story being as inflammatory as it is.
mookie's dentist txt him yesterday with "the big news coming out soon" he heard at a dinner how bu is getting nailed for betting on their games with eichel being the ringleader.
hmmm, ok. :Oa legend and an out of work bum look a lot alike, daddy.
