Missing Bonino hurts, but if we get through this weekend against UML without dropping both games, it might not be the worst thing for everyone else. Having the other forwards get into an offensive rhythm is a good thing, rather than depending on Nick for all of our offense.

Good point. Somebody at the game made the statement (might've been shrader or Babbitt) that they haven't put it together yet but that's to be expected. The Michigan game and a couple of minutes of the Notre Dame game showed what they can do, its a matter of getting more consistant. I think Bonino has played well, as well as some others here and there, but perhaps a more complete effort instead of waiting for a star player to step up will be good in the short term (obviously the sooner he gets back the better).

My god, he's going to break the record before Thanksgiving at this rate:

Eric Gryba entered the season needing 52 penalty minutes to break Freddy Meyer’s all-time BU record.

3 games into the season he already has 21, and now stands a mere 31 minutes away from the top spot.

We need a Cal Ripken-like warehouse-with-giant-countdown-numbers thing for this. Someone get a commemorative Tshirt ready.

My philosophy on Bennett is the same as IIRC a Dodgers team advisor about an unnamed player in the Mitchell Report, I'm paraphrasing: He made our team and got offered the contract scholarship he did because he was on steroids working his a** off, now that he feels comfortable here he has stopped taking steroids working his a** off, however, if we trade cut him he will feel scorned and start taking steroids working his a** off in an attempt to get back at us.

So I wouldn't be surprised at all if he has a completely different work ethic, at least initially, than he did at BU, and I'm really not rooting for him to fail, I have no reason to. Also the situation worked itself out absolutely perfectly for BU fans so I have no idea why you keep trying to bring him up. He is not exactly the one who got away in any of our minds, and never will be.

So the Gryba 5 minute was deserved and the Michigan one wasn't? For the people who were there?

Both were deserved as far as I'm concerned.

They were calling everything super tight (including offsides, hand passes, etc.), which led to more than 1 penalty which wasn't a penalty.

yeah, I hate when the refs make those judgmental calls on ticky tacky infractions like offsides and handpasses! and I definitely hate when they give you a penalty for them!!!
