hmmm. you'd guess a place that once housed the bruins would be ready to hoist as many banners for divisions and in-season tournament wins as they could.

So then wouldn't stating we won the beanpot in '09 be redundant?

i'm not sure many people know this tidbit of info though

Last night was an example of vintage Parker getting his team ready for the first weeks of the season. I hope everyday he prays to the pictures of messrs Gilroy, Wilson, Higgy, JLaw, and Yip because they bought him another 5 to 10 years of a free ride. Time to resume 21st century futility and medicocrity.

So gryba ( or another dman) did score that winning goal? Looked like it, but it is far away for my old eyes to see ( and the video replay ther is somewhat lacking in quality)

Just finished CC's highlights video and wanted to add ONE MORE recommendation to a very long list, absolutely incredible stuff, perfectly done, just what you wanted to remember the season with.

Between Battle of Comm Ave, the CC Highlights Video, and Burn the Books... we certainly have lots to be grateful for don't we?

One note... CC: Any chance of getting a soundtrack listing from the DVD, I'd love to get my hands on a couple of tracks I don't have and can't seem to figure out from the highlights!

I did a radio show last week to promote the book, and one of the guys repeatedly called it Burn The Books. He was embarrassed, but I thought it was really funny! I finally said something about thinking I was now a character in Fahrenheit 451.

My favorite question that night: "So if BU did NOT win it all, how would that have changed the angle of the book?"

Answer: "The book wouldn't exist at all, so that's a pretty big change in the angle! I don't think people are interested in reading about the great team that almost won it all."

I went in to explain that I had been thinking about writing it since around January but always felt the idea was a non-starter unless they went all the way. So with four minutes left to play in DC, I was resigned to fact that I would not write any book at all!

I am very encouraged by the play of the freshmen, especially Chiasson. And I totally agree with my south shore buddy Kennedy; Dainton was out of his mind. Maybe another Thiessen or Millan, even?

Also, Jackson is a great coach, he will have the team more than ready for Tuesday, especially after the embarrassment in Providence.

I'll be ready, too, get to see my only 2 games for the year in the opener and the Michigan game and am bringing along 5 family members to share the excitement!

Thanks for the... thanks!

I'll send you a list of all the tracks.

Haha, hilarious.

Scott, I finished Burn the Boats the other day, marvelous job. Great to see all of the insights into the events in the locker room, and it was all very nicely woven together into a complete tale. This book offers a look into college hockey, the players, and Coach Parker that nothing else can offer. Great job!

Just started BtB this morning on the way into work. Only on p. 25, but already have laughed at some of the insights and appreciated some of the behind the scenes stuff. (loved the description of Strait )


edit - anyone know when they're shipping the rivalry dvd?

edit 2 - added BtB to the weRead application on facebook.

I actually managed to read all of these posts wondering why we were joking about calling it Burn the Books... before I realized it was all my fault (sieve).

Sorry, Scott... it was late and for some reason Burn the Books just flies off of my keyboard... I promise, I'm not a book burner.
