    But I agree he does need to hit the weight room off season.
    Is Joel Farabee to Oliver Wahlstron what Nate Gerbe was to Jason Lawrence?

      It's fair to point out the lack of talent around Wahlstrom but at the same time when you are drafted that high, you should be able to make some plays on your own. I just don't see that from him. Since Farabee was mentioned...from what I have seen of him, he's a better overall player than Wahlstrom.

        Wahlstrom has found out the hard way that life is a bit easier when you're riding shotgun with Jack Hughes as your center.

          To some degree I agree with you but I just think he needs to be allowed some freedom to be more creative on offense.

          How many times this year in almost every game does BC try to get too cute with the passing ? Making the right pass at the right time is more important than just tic tac toe passing around the perimeter. The goal is to shoot the puck on net and score but it seems shot selection and the ability to shoot the puck with a quick release at times are not frequent enough from my observation. How many times have we seen BC shots blocked or deflected because they're too slow ? Or they just plain miss the net ?

          If you watch the power play enough, it's just not good. They take too long to break out and do not move the puck well enough to break the box. Often there's a lot of wasted time and just plain bad skating, bad drops, bad passing and if they're fortunate, they get a couple of shots on net.

          Shooting from the slot or middle is more preferable than from the corners or bad angle shots unless you can move the puck quickly to the back door and there's an open net while the goalie is trying to get back to the other post.

                His game is floating out on the perimeter between the circles and blue line and he won't go into the dirty areas. What changes in BC's offensive style do you think would make him a better player, or make BC a better team?

                This is a tough league to play in when you have a max. speed of 5 mph.

                          Agree that the focus should only be one game at a time but even with a loss they may avoid UMass as UNH would have to beat Northeastern at Matthews to pass BC. Northeastern has a lot on the line so I like their chances in that game.

                                Wouldn’t a tic-tac-toe pass require 3 straight completed passes? I don’t think I saw that more than a half dozen times all year . 🤯
