      No, that was Ex-Zlax. Hoky was refuting.

        OK, so he graduated, applied for grad school AND was admitted. Arguably, isn't that justification he originally planned to return to use the final season of his eligibility then? Was Ottawa's offer SO good that there was NO chance there would be a better one next year??

        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.

        Would YOU bet your life on the outcome that nothing untoward whatsoever was going on here?

          Just trying to be very careful about what I'm saying/writing here, Scarlet.

          That this is revolving around the city end of Comm Ave. is already messing with my sensibilities.

              those 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 atleast think about it for a minute .

                    No somebody else suggested that Providence got a lot of breaks on the way to the championship (which seems to be true). Hokey said they didn't.

                    In other news the "throwing the championship game" rumors continue.

                      I 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.

                        well, EVERYONE who wins gets a break or two. just the nature of the beast. being able to play at HOME was HUGE for the 16th(ish) seed. duh. being able to get du and miami there was perfect for them. who knows how that would have gone if played elsewhere. plus getting uno in the semi. PLUS getting two gift goals to win a thrown game () and they still almost blew it

                                4 points at the Garden for the Boy Wonder. I wonder how many former teammates were in his parents box? I'd bet more than a few. 😀
